About the Presenter:
Dr. Andrew Ip
BDS (Adl), MRACDS (GDP), Grad Dip Ortho (JCU), MSc Implantology (IMC)
Nerd, Geek, Freak – terms that have been used to describe Dr. Andrew over the years.
What started out as an innocent hobby has made its way into a significant portion of his general daily dental work.
Dr Andrew Ip is a Sydney-based private general dentist who has presented on 3D printing in a dental practice on multiple occasions.
He achieved Membership in General Dental Practice with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 2017 and obtained a Graduate Diploma of Orthodontics at James Cook University in 2019 and a Masters of Science in Implantology and Dental Surgery in 2022.
He has a special interest in 3D printing which started off as a hobby but has now formed a major part of his clinical work. He is a Key Opinion Leader for several 3D printing-related companies/services. When he’s not designing surgical guides, planning in-house clear aligner treatment or designing a chairside 3d-printed crown, you can find him printing figurines and helmets for his cats (much to their disappointment).
Dr. Ip has been working at Marsfield Dental Care for several years. He provides a wide range of treatment, including complex crown and bridge, braces and implants.
Dr Ip completed his Membership in General Dental Practice in the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and is amongst the first in Australia to complete a Graduate Diploma in Orthodontics at James Cook University, the only course of its kind in an Australian university.
Dr Ip is a member of the Australian Dental Association and the Australasian Society of Osseointegration.
In his spare time he enjoys cycling, swimming, clinical photography, and of course 3D Printing.
