Dr Melissa Farr

Hi, I’m Dr Melissa Farr.  For me, dentistry is about so much more than treating teeth. It is about building trust, creating comfort, and helping people feel confident every time they sit in the chair. I take a gentle and supportive approach, with a strong focus on ensuring my patients feel calm, understood, and genuinely cared for throughout their dental journey.

I graduated from the University of Sheffield (UK) in 2015 and have been practising for over 10 years, 7 of those in Australia. Since then, I have dedicated my career to providing high quality, comprehensive care tailored to each individual. Being part of a collaborative team that prioritises patient centred treatment is incredibly important to me, and I value building long term relationships while supporting my patients in achieving their oral health and smile goals.

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, with particular experience in caring for nervous patients, children’s dentistry, cosmetic treatments, crowns and veneers, and supporting long term gum health. Whether I am restoring strength and function or enhancing a smile, my focus is always on delivering natural, thoughtful results with your wellbeing at the heart of every decision.
Originally from a small town in Wales, I am now proud to call Hobsons Bay home, where I live with my two young boys. Outside of the clinic, you will usually find me cooking, travelling, gardening, or getting stuck into a new DIY project. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the confidence that shines through when someone feels truly proud of their smile.
