Dr Joseph Badr<\/h3>\n

Dr. Joseph Badr studied dentistry at the University of Melbourne, going on to redefine the profession. 20 years ago, he established d\u2013spa, the world\u2019s first holistic dental spa that uniquely marries cutting-edge technology and the clinical expertise of a dentist\u2019s surgery with the comforts of a calming health spa.<\/p>\n

His revolutionary vision for dentistry resulted in him founding Melbourne MD & the d-spa group on a hygiene-based preventative model. Similarly, this vision transcends his unique operational business model; providing the highest level of service while offering the best value to the individual.<\/p>\n

Renowned in his field, Dr. Badr continues to practise, while also focussing on innovation within his industry and beyond.<\/p>\n

Our technology<\/h2>\n

We pride ourselves on using the latest dental technologies at our Melbourne clinics to offer more accurate diagnoses and safer, more comfortable treatments.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Digital intra-oral radiography & camera<\/h3>\n

We use digital intra-oral radiography to help diagnose and treat a range of oral health problems. This method uses 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays and has the advantage of being instantly viewable on a computer screen. This makes diagnosis easier by reducing the need for a second appointment and lengthy visits.

Similarly, this vision transcends his unique operational business model; providing the highest level of service while offering the best value to the individual.<\/p>\n

Our intra-oral camera gives you the same view of your teeth and gums as your dentist, helping you to get more involved in your dental treatment if you so wish. You\u2019ll be able to see first-hand any fractured fillings, decayed teeth, inflamed gums or other problems that may be present, giving you a better understanding of your oral health.His revolutionary vision for dentistry resulted in him founding Melbourne MD on a hygiene-based preventative model.

Digital OPG
\n<\/h3>\n

Our dentists can also use digital OPGs to investigate areas of interest in greater detail, such as impacted wisdom teeth or temporomandibular joints (TMJ), without the need for a referral and added hassle. This can help save you time and reduce the need for follow-up appointments.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Ceramic restorations<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve made the decision not to have our own dental laboratory at Melbourne MD, but rather to engage the services of some of Australia\u2019s best laboratories. This means we can offer high quality ceramic restorations to help restore strong, natural-looking smiles.<\/p>\n
