Dr. Carl Pan, serves as the Co-Principal Dentist and Co-founder of Elevate Dental Group. He is most recognized for his proficiency in enhancing smile aesthetics, mainly through orthodontic treatment (such as braces and aligners) and composite veneers. He places a strong emphasis on patient comfort, taking time to listen to individual concerns, explain treatment options clearly, and support patients throughout their dental care.
Dr. Carl Pan achieved distinction in both his Bachelor’s and postgraduate Dentistry degrees at Griffith University. He then pursued advanced studies, completing a three-year postgraduate program at the City of London Dental School under the guidance of the esteemed specialist orthodontist Dr. Derek Mahony. He was nominated for Fellowship in both the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics and the International College of Continuing Education. Dr Carl’s commitment to professional excellence is evident. His postgraduate studies reflect his commitment to ongoing professional development, with a focus on expanding his knowledge of orthodontic assessment, treatment planning, and care tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Having undergone complex orthodontic treatment himself, Dr Carl understands the life changing impact a confident and healthy smile can have. While prioritizing the alignment of crooked teeth and enhancing facial features with a beautiful smile,he believes it is essential to ensure that this endeavour is complemented by promoting healthy jaw joints and airways. Other interest areas include early childhood orthodontic interventions, adult orthodontics and non-extraction treatment plans when appropriate.
When Dr. Carl isn’t working on teeth, you will catch him crafting short films of his outdoor adventures with loved ones, occasionally having a drone mishap (oops!), and channelling his inner David Goggins by aiming to up his running game.
