Dr George Liao has invested in advanced dental technology to deliver more precise diagnoses, more comfortable procedures, and faster treatment times. Experience dentistry designed for the modern era.
Digital dentistry replaces traditional manual processes with computer-aided technologies — from diagnosis through to treatment. This means greater precision, reduced treatment times, enhanced comfort, and a more transparent experience for patients. At Kippax Dental, Dr George Liao has built a fully digital workflow that integrates multiple cutting-edge systems.
The Pro Ergo microscope provides up to 25x magnification, allowing Dr George to see fine details that are invisible to the naked eye. This is particularly valuable for root canal treatments, detecting hairline fractures, and ensuring restorations fit with microscopic precision. Enhanced visualisation means more conservative treatment — preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) allows Dr George to design and mill high-quality ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers right here in the practice. Instead of waiting weeks for a dental lab, many restorations can be completed in a single appointment. The digital design process ensures an accurate fit and natural-looking result.
Our intraoral scanner captures detailed 3D models of your teeth in minutes — completely replacing messy, uncomfortable putty impressions. These digital impressions are used for treatment planning, aligner fabrication, crown design, and more. The result is a faster, more comfortable experience with higher accuracy.
Digital radiography produces high-resolution images instantly with significantly lower radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays. Images can be enhanced, zoomed, and shared on screen so Dr George can walk you through findings in real time. This transparency helps you understand your dental health and participate in treatment decisions.
The Airflow system uses a controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder to gently remove biofilm, stains, and early calculus from teeth and gum pockets. It's far more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing, and particularly effective at cleaning around orthodontic appliances, implants, and in hard-to-reach areas.
Patients consistently report that Airflow cleans feel gentler and more pleasant than conventional methods. It's an excellent example of how modern technology can improve an everyday dental procedure — making your routine hygiene visit something you might actually look forward to.
Dr George doesn't just own the technology — he's deeply committed to mastering it and sharing that knowledge with his patients and the wider dental community.
All our technologies work together — scanning feeds into CEREC design, microscope verification confirms precision, digital records track your progress over time.
Dr George shares his work on his YouTube channel, demonstrating procedures and technology. This transparency reflects his commitment to patient education and professional development.
Dr George regularly undertakes advanced training in digital dentistry techniques, ensuring the practice stays at the forefront of technological developments in the field.
Digital workflows reduce waiting times. Same-day CEREC restorations, instant digital X-rays, and streamlined scanning mean less time in the chair and fewer visits overall.
Digital technology removes much of the guesswork from dentistry. Computer-aided design, microscopic visualisation, and accurate scanning all contribute to more predictable outcomes.
Dr George communicates fluently in both Mandarin and English, ensuring every patient fully understands their diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect.
Every piece of technology in our practice exists for one reason: to give you a better dental experience.
Digital scanning replaces goopy moulds. Airflow replaces aggressive scraping. Microscope-guided treatment is less invasive. Technology makes the entire experience gentler.
Same-day CEREC crowns, instant digital imaging, and streamlined workflows mean treatments that once took multiple visits can often be completed in one.
Digital X-rays and microscope feeds can be shown on screen in real time. You'll understand your diagnosis because you can see it yourself — no more guesswork.
Microscope-enhanced precision and digital design allow for more conservative preparations — keeping as much of your natural tooth as possible during restorative work.
Common questions about our digital dental technology and how it benefits your care.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Dr George scans your prepared tooth with the 3D scanner, designs the restoration using specialised CAD software, then mills it from a block of high-quality ceramic — all within the practice. This means you can often receive a permanent crown, inlay, or onlay in a single visit rather than wearing a temporary for weeks.
The Pro Ergo microscope provides high-powered magnification that helps Dr George detect issues invisible to the naked eye — such as hairline cracks, hidden decay, and subtle details during root canal treatment. It also enables more conservative preparations, meaning less healthy tooth structure is removed during restorative procedures. Only a small percentage of dental practices in Australia use operating microscopes.
Absolutely. The intraoral scanner uses light to capture images — there's no radiation involved. A small wand is moved around your mouth to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. It's quick (usually a few minutes), comfortable, and eliminates the need for traditional putty impressions that many patients find unpleasant.
Airflow uses a combination of air, warm water, and fine erythritol powder to gently blast away plaque, biofilm, and surface stains. Compared to traditional scraping and polishing, most patients find Airflow significantly more comfortable. It's also more effective at reaching areas around brackets, implants, and deep gum pockets.
Yes. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film-based X-rays — typically up to 80% less. The images are also available instantly and can be enhanced digitally for better diagnostic accuracy. This combination of reduced exposure and improved image quality makes digital radiography a clear advancement in dental imaging.
Yes! Dr George maintains an active YouTube channel where he shares educational content about dental procedures and technology. It's a great resource for understanding what to expect during treatments and seeing the technology in action. This level of transparency reflects his belief that informed patients make better decisions about their oral health.
