BDSc, General Dentist
Dr Ross Churcher is a male General Dentist.
Dr Ross Churcher has been a part of Somerville Dental Health since 1981, originally with his older brother David. As a result of some strong (and at times unpleasant) memories of his experience of going to the dentist as a child, Ross is determined to make his patients’ dental experience as gentle and pain-free as is possible.
Ross is a member of the Australian Dental Association. He enjoys all aspects of practice, with particular interest in cosmetic/aesthetic treatment; orthodontics; and implant dentistry.
Over his career, new procedures have constantly been evolving. This has made being a dentist a very satisfying and challenging profession for Dr Churcher.
Ross still finds his greatest enjoyment is from assisting people to take charge of their oral health, catching problems early and over time, creating a sound and stable level of dental health. For most people, once this is achieved with high-quality restorations and with good home care and diet, only occasional minor maintenance is usually required. He finds this especially satisfying when it has allowed a formerly nervous patient to overcome their fear, gain confidence and trust so as to then come along happily to maintain their health year after year.
