Dr Lillian C Heath Graduated from UCLA, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Before moving to Australia in 2003, Dr Heath operated her own practice in New York for 22 years. She has extensive work experience in New Zealand, California, New York and Melbourne, as well as on the Sunshine Coast.
Dr Heath also has experience teaching other dentists various clinical techniques and can teach anyone who is willing to learn to give a 100% painless injection some 96% of the time.
Patient education and communication are paramount to Dr Heath who has a great interest in comprehensive patient care, gentle, compassionate, efficient delivery systems, with a holistic orientation. She also engages patients into a doctor / patient relationship, which fosters a keen interest on the part of the patient in order to achieve maximum dental health and functionality.
Dr Heath’s orientation is cosmetic as well as functional and so she incorporates that point of view into a personalised treatment plan for the benefit and interest of her patients. Each patient brings a unique set of goals, desires and priorities to the table and getting in-step with those is a critical part of the working relationship.
Through various bad dental experiences as a child, Lillian used to be a dental phobic patient herself and refused to have anything done except with general anaesthesia and so understands this in patients. This experience helps her make anxious patients more relaxed with their treatment.
Dr Heath has an extensive background in holistic dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, management of the phobic patient, dental psychology and soft-tissue management (periodontics). In addition to completing simple orthodontics and currently offering Invisalign Orthodontic Therapy, Dr Heath does dental implants and greatly enjoys full-mouth rehabilitation cases.
Dentistry gives Dr Heath an outlet for her artistic leanings, while giving her the satisfaction of providing care in the most gentle, pain-free manner possible, a goal where she is continually striving to excel.
To Dr Heath, health means the maximum ease and functionality of the entire body and includes freedom from pain, infection, inflammation, discomfort and unwanted conditions impacting one’s lifestyle and happiness.
Away from Dental Excel Lillian finds time to enjoy Music, Entertainment, Books, Fitness, Painting, Personal Development and Metaphysics. She enjoys informally providing image consulting to various members of her community. These often involve a complete cosmetic makeover, often involving makeup, wardrobe and colour consulting, diet, lifestyle and longevity strategies. Talking about teeth and their relationship to overall wellbeing is an endless source of fascinating discussions.
