About Sydney Prosthodontic Group

Dr. Ben Lee established his specialist practice in 2011, focusing on prosthodontic and implant dentistry. As the practice grew, the need for expansion led to the opening of our purpose-built specialist centre in 2018, marking the rebranding of our practice as Sydney Prosthodontic Group (SPG). This expansion enabled us to partner with endodontic and periodontal groups within the same premises, enhancing our ability to provide comprehensive patient care.

In 2024, SPG expanded further within the same building, increasing our capacity for both oral surgery and prosthodontic services. This growth allows us to better serve your patients by reducing wait times and enhancing treatment efficiency.

At SPG, we prioritise building long-term relationships and strive to be your trusted partner in oral healthcare. We deeply value the confidence placed in us with each patient referral—a responsibility we take very seriously. Our commitment is to uphold your values and professional integrity at all times.

When you refer a patient to SPG, you can trust that we will keep you informed every step of the way.
