Bradley Shepherd is a registered Specialist Prosthodontist. He qualified from the Perth Dental School (University of Western Australia) in 1982 – Bachelor of Dental Science and postgraduate degree in Prosthodontics was completed in 1988 – Master of Dental Science. In 1994 he became sole practice owner and began the process of building a team of dentists dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in restorative dentistry. In 1999, he relocated the practice to 64 Havelock Street, West Perth. This marked the transition of the growing practice into a state of the art facility. “Given that every patient has unique requirements I am striving to find the optimal option for treatment. Using an evidence based approach and expertise acquired over three decades the aim is to provide optimal cosmetic, functional and durable results within a set of guidelines relevant to each individual patient”. In addition to the time devoted to clinical management he has been actively involved in many dental institutions and professional committees. He is currently involved in the DClinDent (Pros) program at the Oral Health Centre of Western Australia. Dr Shepherd has a special interest in interdisciplinary assessment and management and has co-authored a chapter in a textbook entitled “Esthetics and Biomechanics in Orthodontics” with Dr Brent Allan (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon) and Dr Mithran Goonewardene (Specialist Orthodontist).
