Dr Alex Furlan

There's a particular kind of trust patients extend to a surgeon — and Dr Alex Furlan has earned it through a manner that's calm, unhurried, and plainly confident. His relaxed approach in the chair puts patients at ease even before the more complex work begins, and that counts for a great deal when the procedure involves implant surgery or full-arch rehabilitation.

Alex graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Adelaide in 2020 and has spent the past five years building a focused implant practice within Lockleys Dental. He works two days per week at the clinic and is currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Implantology, formalising expertise he has been developing throughout his career. His clinical interests include single and multiple tooth implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch restorations, sinus lifts, crowns, surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, IV sedation, general anaesthesia, and complex full mouth rehabilitation.

One of the genuine advantages of having Alex at Lockleys Dental is what it means for patients: most implant and surgical work that would ordinarily require a referral to a specialist or separate clinic can now be handled in-house. Alexander had been with the practice for several years before Dr Katherine Rao took ownership — and his skill set sits at the centre of the team. Whether you're missing a single tooth or exploring an All-on-4 solution, you'll find that his consultation style is thorough, unhurried, and honest about what each pathway involves.
