About Champion Family Dental
Champion Family Dental has been part of the Armadale community since 1992, and in that time we’ve gotten to know generations of the same families.
Our focus has always been on gentle, honest dentistry. Patients of every age walk in and feel like they belong here, not like they’re just another appointment on the schedule.
Dentists Dr Darren Chai, Dr Esther Cheng, Dr Katherine Tan, Dr Bharat Pothukuchi, Dr Harrison Wong and Dr Gia-Long Nguyen make up our team, covering everything from general to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. What ties them together is how they treat people — with compassion, not just clinical skill.
Listening comes first. From there, we explain your options in plain terms and shape each visit around what you actually need, combining modern equipment with an old-fashioned amount of care.
Previous Clinic Owner
Dr Marcelle Moody laid the foundation this practice still stands on. Her passion for dentistry started young, after time spent at her own orthodontist’s practice as a child.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the University of Sheffield in 1976, went on to complete postgraduate study in paediatric dentistry, and stayed committed to continuing education throughout her career.
That commitment to patient care shaped the culture that still runs through Champion Family Dental today. Our team carries that legacy forward while continuing to invest in modern dentistry and care built around each patient.
If you’ve been part of the practice for years, or you’re walking through our doors for the first time, we’re glad to have you. It’s a tradition of caring, personalised dentistry our community has trusted for more than three decades, and we’re proud to carry that tradition forward.
