Milton graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science 1979.

For several years he worked in the UK gaining invaluable experience before owning and operating his own dental practice in Johannesburg from 1981 to 1987.

In 1987 he immigrated to Australia with his wife and 2 daughters where they began life in Melbourne.

It was in this year that he set up the Port Melbourne Dental Practice with Dr Gary Newstadt. Their practice still continues to thrive, as does their consultative partnership today. In 1988 Milton opened the satellite dental surgery in Templestowe, Victoria which still continues to operate.

During the 23 years he has been in Port Melbourne, Albert Park and Templestowe he has constantly changed with the times, updating equipment and sterilization practices as new and improved procedures become available. This is why his patients return to him to undergo treatment in complete comfort.

With the surge in cutting edge techniques and current ‘best practice’ treatments, each year Milton completes 20-40 hours of postgraduate courses which keep him abreast with the latest developments and trends in dentistry. These include the latest in Cosmetic Implant Dentistry, Sleep Apnea (Snoring Mouth Guard appliance) and Endodontic instrumentation which gives the best results using the latest in materials and dental bonding systems.

All of Milton’s patients are treated with the utmost regard to their specific requests and reasons for visiting the surgery. He takes the time to listen first, then ask questions. Options of various treatments are outlined in an understandable format and the pro’s and con’s are discussed together. Always with a gentle hand and highly competent team he attends to the task best decided upon.

Milton’s aim is to treat each patient as he would a member of his own family, with the utmost consideration and gentle and caring manner, each patient leaves his surgery confident in any process that has taken place on the day.

Dr Gary Newstadt graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science in 1976 at the University of Witwatersand in Johannesburg. For a period of 6 months after he graduated, he worked within the U.K.

From 1977 to 1987 he operated his own practice in South Africa for 10 years.

In 1987, Gary immigrated to Australia and together with his business partner, Dr Milton Herson, acquired a dental practice in Bay Street, Port Melbourne. In 1988, he opened up a satellite practice in Templestowe.

Together, Dr Gary Newstadt and Dr Milton Herson own two very successful practices in Port Melbourne and Templestowe.

Dr. Newstadt is commited to ensuring that his patients receive the optimum care in dental health.

He has over 30 years of experience and brings modern techniques into the practice. This is through ongoing professional development and continued education courses.

Dr. Newstadt’s philosophy encompasses a unique and individual approach to educating his patients in holistic preventative care and oral hygiene.

His in-depth understanding extends into the area of stress related dental conditions; approximately 40 percent of people carry tension in their head and neck. Dr Newstadt’s knowledge and experience allows him to communicate, educate, treat and prevent many destructive habits.

Dr Newstadt values and respects patients as partners in their overall care and maintenance of dental health.

“Prevention is better than a cure” says Gary.
