Our Services

Cosmetic Dentistry

Whether you have discoloured, stained or broken teeth we can provide a number of solutions to meet your individual requirements. 

Whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges and aesthetic fillings all provide solutions for specific situations.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and are the preferred treatment option for many patients due to their comfort and good long-term stability. For a single missing tooth it removes the need to wear dentures and reduces the risk of damage to adjacent teeth, as well as allowing patients to chew and eat more comfortably.

Emergency Dentistry

If you've had an accident, broken a tooth or are in pain... we are here to help. Call us and we will book you in to one of our reserved emergency appointment slots.

General Dental Check-Ups

At Sanford Dental we believe regular dental examinations are the key to maintaining good oral health. Dental problems detected and treated early may reduce the need for more extensive procedures in the future.

Department of Veteran Affairs

We are proudly affiliated with the Department of Veteran Affairs which provides support to current and former serving members and their families.

Professional and highly trained

Dr Desiré Pretorius

Desiré graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2001 and worked in South Africa until 2004 when she emigrated to Australia. She was fortunate enough to secure a position in Albany with Dental Health Services and has been a local ever since. In 2006 she completed the Australian Dental Council Examination and since then, has worked both in the public sector, as well as various private practices in both Albany and Denmark. Desiré enjoys most aspects of preventative and restorative dentistry, however, her favourite part is patient interaction. She is passionate about establishing an environment of trust and respect through the kind and caring way she delivers dental treatment for all patients. Des is a member of the Australian Dental Association and attends professional development courses to keep up with the ever-evolving face of general dentistry. Being mum to three boys is by far her greatest accomplishment and during her free time, she loves to catch up with friends, play the piano, go for walks in nature and play social soccer.

Han believes having a solid patient-clinician relationship is essential in achieving great oral health outcomes and creates a calming environment for her patients. Han appreciates the range and flexibility of general practice and keeps up to date by attending professional development courses in a variety of dental specialties. In her spare time, Han likes going to cafes with friends and hanging out with her cat, Veggie Burger.

Outside of work Michelle enjoys an early morning walk and swim at Middleton Beach, bike riding and gardening.
