Our Practitioners
Dr Choong CHAI -Principal Dentist.
Dr Chai graduated from the University of Otago with BDS(Hons) in 2001. Shortly after graduation, he was one of 3 new graduates to be accepted into a DHSV internship program.
Through the dentist internship program, Dr Chai was able to gain invaluable experience in treating thousands of patients in the public health system. This included general dentistry, emergency dental care, trauma, oral surgery and orthodontics.
While this provided valuable training, Dr Chai decided his career was in general private practice and joined the dentist practice of Dr Chris Billings in Morwell . At the beginning of 2008, he took over as practice principal. The practice has since relocated and now our new and improved, state-of-the art dental facility, situated at 16 Seymour Street in the heart of Traralgon CBD. The practice is now providing dental care for patients from Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Churchill, Rosedale, Glengarry, Sale, Yinnar South, Newborough and surrounding areas.
