Meet Our Canberra City Dentists

Dr Felix Tan

Dr Felix Tan has been practising dentistry since 1985. He is the current owner of Hobart Place Dental, which was established by Dr Colin Watson in 1965. The dental clinic is still at 1 Hobart Place, Canberra City. Dr Felix has been in Canberra since 1987.

Dr Felix cares about patients receiving careful dental care and value for money, and about explaining the reasoning behind a treatment rather than simply recommending it. Over the past few years, Dr Felix has developed an interest in better understanding the diseases that affect people’s dental health as they age.

Away from work, Dr Felix enjoys gardening, travel, architectural design, and music festivals. He takes great pride in growing his own organic vegetables and repurposing unwanted items into garden ornaments and structures. You could say that Dr Felix is into sustainability and recycling.

Dr Elaine

Dr Elaine graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2015. She has worked in the public and private dental health sectors in Victoria and New South Wales. Prior to joining Hobart Place Dental, she spent three years in a coastal town south of Sydney. Dr Elaine is trained across general dentistry and is an integral part of our dental clinic in Canberra City.

Dr Elaine has a warm, friendly and calm manner, and she cares a great deal about dental care. She likes to get to know a patient, explain treatment options, and talk through how to look after their oral health. With anxious patients and with children, Dr Elaine takes extra time and works at their pace to help them feel more at ease.

In between caring for teeth, Dr Elaine enjoys spending time with family and friends, relaxing at home with a good movie and a cup of tea, travelling, fishing, camping and snowboarding. Dr Elaine is a dedicated Canberra dentist who leads a full life.
