His work focuses on reconstructing and restoring teeth that have been damaged, broken down, or lost — work that calls for both technical precision and a genuine eye for aesthetics. Before pursuing specialist training, Dr Angelis spent six years in high-level private general dentistry in Melbourne. That time in practice gave him broad clinical exposure that shaped how he approaches complex cases — something that sets him apart from prosthodontists who move directly from undergraduate study into specialist training. He then completed three years of full-time specialist training at the University of Melbourne, finishing with both the academic grounding and hands-on expertise the specialty requires. His clinical work spans the full scope of prosthodontics, with a particular focus on complex reconstruction: - **Dental implant restoration** — single implant crowns, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch implant rehabilitation for patients who have lost multiple or all teeth - **Dental crowns** — individually crafted restorations in ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, designed to protect and rebuild damaged teeth whilst blending naturally with surrounding dentition - **Dental bridges** — fixed prosthetic solutions for replacing one or more missing teeth, anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants - **Porcelain veneers** — thin ceramic facings applied to the front surfaces of teeth to correct colour, shape, or minor positional irregularities - **Full mouth rehabilitation** — comprehensive, staged rebuilding of dentitions that have been worn down, heavily restored, or structurally compromised over time - **Occlusal reconstruction** — restoring the correct functional relationship between upper and lower teeth where advanced wear or structural collapse has altered the bite - **Multidisciplinary treatment planning** — coordinating complex cases that require specialist input across more than one dental discipline Across all of this, Dr Angelis holds to a consistent standard: prosthodontic outcomes need to be durable, functionally sound, and aesthetically coherent with the patient's broader oral presentation. That requires careful planning before any clinical work begins and close attention to detail throughout. --- ## Training and professional background Dr Angelis completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery with First Class Honours at the University of Melbourne, building a strong foundation in both clinical dental science and academic rigour. Rather than moving straight into specialist training after graduation, he spent six years in private general practice at the more demanding end of the Melbourne dental market. That period exposed him to a wide range of restorative and reconstructive challenges — the kind of real-world clinical experience that sharpens judgement and gives a practitioner a practical sense of what patients actually need from prosthodontic care. In 2014, he completed his Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry (DClinDent) in Prosthodontics at the University of Melbourne. The DClinDent is a three-year, full-time specialist programme covering advanced restorative science, implantology, occlusal science, and the management of complex rehabilitative cases. Completing this qualification, combined with registration with the Dental Board of Australia, is what allows a practitioner to use the title of Specialist Prosthodontist in Australia. An honours undergraduate degree, six years of private practice, and rigorous specialist training together give Dr Angelis a well-rounded perspective — one grounded in both scientific knowledge and practical, patient-centred judgement. --- ## Practising at Collins Street Specialist Centre Dr Angelis is part of the Prosthodontics service at Collins Street Specialist Centre, located at Level 8, Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD. A genuine strength of the Collins Street Specialist Centre model is coordinated, multidisciplinary specialist care under one roof. Dr Angelis works closely with periodontic, endodontic, and orthodontic colleagues at the Centre — an arrangement that matters most in full-mouth reconstruction cases, where integrated specialist input tends to produce better outcomes than sequential, siloed treatment. For referring dentists, this means their patients can move through complex treatment pathways with consistent communication and coordinated planning at every stage. Patients are welcome to attend with or without a formal referral from their general dentist. For anyone who wants to verify Dr Angelis's specialist registration independently, his credentials are publicly searchable through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) register — a step worth taking when seeking specialist dental care. > **Note:** Dr Angelis is currently on planned leave. Please contact the practice on **(03) 9650 2726** to confirm his current availability before attending or making a referral. ---
