Melissa White, My Dentist Blackwood’s Oral Health Therapist, brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to her role. Graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health degree from the University of Adelaide in 2004, Melissa’s outstanding academic achievement was recognised with awards for excellence. Her commitment to lifelong learning led her to complete postgraduate studies in 2019, extending her scope of practice to include examinations and restorative care for adults.

Choose My Dentist Blackwood for a personalised, innovative approach to oral health and patient care.
We clean teeth with EMS Airflow, which uses warm water, air and a fine powder to lift away plaque, biofilm and staining. It’s gentle on teeth and gums, and many of our patients find it more comfortable than a traditional clean.
From children’s first check-ups to fillings, crowns, implants and cosmetic work, we look after most of your family’s dental needs under one roof.
We’re a preferred provider for Bupa Members First and HCF More For Teeth, so members pay less out of pocket, and eligible members often pay no gap for check-ups and cleans.
Rooted right here in Blackwood, we proudly sponsor a wide range of local sporting clubs and charities because giving back to our community matters to us. Most of our team live locally too, so supporting Blackwood isn’t just good business — it’s personal. We believe community support goes both ways, and we’re grateful for a community that has supported us just as much as we’ve supported it.
