About Sydney Laser Dentistry
Our intention is to provide progressive world-class, minimally
invasive dentistry for all our patients in a caring, safe and happy
environment.
Chosen Technologies:
At Sydney Laser Dentistry we have chosen to utilise the technology of
Biolase. This company is listed on the NASDAQ. All the treatments used
by Sydney Laser Dentistry have been ratified by the FDA and TGA in
Australia.
Our Use of Laser Technologies:
Treatments chosen to be performed by laser have been deemed to have an
advantage to the patient over traditional therapies, some of which we
believe are no longer the gold standard of care. We strongly believe
that lasers used in certain situations obtain more optimum results than
old fashioned treatments. We can not use lasers for every dental need
simply because they were not designed for that treatment. For example,
we cannot remove amalgams with the laser, we have to rely on the drill,
however, we can use the laser to provide analgesia so that the procedure
is less painful and there may not be a need for injections. After the
removal of the amalgam the tooth will be finished and prepared for a
better bonded restoration using the laser.
Our Practitioners:
Dr Robert Aslan:
Dr Aslan graduated from Sydney University Faculty of Dentistry in 1985
with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree. He has been in private
practice in the suburb of Mortdale since 1987. Dr Aslan has always been
a firm believer in dental prevention, as a philosophy not only in
maintaining oral health but also in holistic health. The concept of
minimally invasive dentistry whereby natural body elements are preserved
ranks paramount in Dr Aslan’s diagnoses.

rehabilitation and beautiful smile constructions . He attends many

of dentistry. The accuracy and low invasiveness of his work can now be
described as microscopic dentistry. Dr Aslan trains dentists in the use
of lasers and has lectured on the subject at the World Clinical Laser

Dr Nidhi Berera
Dr Berera graduated from The University of Melbourne in 2001. After
graduating, she worked in a large private practice in Melbourne focusing
on general dentistry until moving to New South Wales in November 2005.
Dr Berera joined the team at Sydney Laser Dentistry 2007 as she
wanted to expand her skills applying new technology in dentistry.
Utlilising microscopes and laser technology for dental treatment has
been an enjoyable learning experience. This has been a great way for Dr
Berera to increase her expertise in all areas of general dentistry.
Dr Berera has a keen interest in Orthodontics and has completed
further studies in this field in order to offer her patients a broader
range of treatment. Being a general dentist, Dr Berera has found it easy
to diagnose orthodontic problems in children early, as they come for
their regular checks. This early diagnosis often leads to an easier
course of orthodontics for children and teenagers. Having completed
Invisalign training and lingual braces Dr Berera can offer many
aesthetic options to adults who tend to prefer these over traditional
braces for aesthetic reasons.
Dr Berera is also able to treat patients with Oral Sleep Apnoea, with
accredited training in SomnoMed. This is a common problem in the
community which can often be easily treated with an oral appliance.
Dr Berera is a member of the Australian Dental Association.
