MDSc, GradDipClinDent, MRACDS(Endo), FPFA, FADI, FICD

 
Mark obtained his general dental degree from the University of Melbourne in 1990. He then served as a Dental Officer with the Royal Australian Air Force before entering private general practice.

As a general dentist he discovered a deep interest in the area of endodontics and decided that his future should be in this complex field of dentistry.

He completed his specialist training, a three-year, full-time program in 2001 and he has been in specialist endodontic practice ever since.

Dr Pope takes an empathetic and caring approach towards his patients’ care

 

His approach to endodontic treatment is based on:

  • Understanding root canal treatment from the patient’s perspective
  • Providing options that make root canal therapy a manageable experience for the patient
  • Pioneering conservative minimally invasive techniques in Melbourne
  • Building confidence in long term treatment success
  • Bringing industry leading materials, technology and techniques to treatment.

 

 Both my team and I strive to bring a more personal and caring approach to clinical practice. It’s our hope this helps people to relax and feel more confident about root canal therapy, knowing they are in good hands.
