Dr Jean Ryu (Dentist)
From Personal Inspiration to Precision Dentistry
Dr Jean Ryu’s path to dentistry began early. After experiencing orthodontic care firsthand as a child, he gained a deep appreciation for how a healthy smile can lift confidence and self-esteem. His parents’ positive experiences with dental implants more than 25 years ago further fuelled his passion. Seeing the lasting impact on their appearance and well-being, he set his sights on creating that same kind of change for others.
Extensive Training in Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry
Graduating with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Adelaide in December 2013, Dr Ryu brings over a decade of clinical experience, with special expertise in dental implants, surgical wisdom tooth extractions, and a range of soft tissue management surgeries.
In implant therapy, he is highly skilled in performing bone grafts, open sinus lifts, and managing complications effectively. To date, he has successfully placed more than 1,000 implants. His postgraduate coursework includes:
- Full-mouth rehabilitation in Singapore
- Advanced theoretical and hands-on implantology in Laos
- All three Osseointegration Academy courses in South Korea
- Sinus lift and third molar extraction training in Sydney
- Aesthetic injectables certification in Greece
This wide-ranging experience allows Dr Ryu to provide thoughtful care across oral surgery, implants, cosmetic dentistry, and full-mouth restoration.
Driven by Precision, Healing, and Connection
After practising in Singapore, Dr Ryu is now based in Melbourne and has recently transitioned to Sydney. He brings a steady, methodical approach to dental procedures and places strong emphasis on precise, patient-centred care.
He also regularly uses PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to support natural healing, an innovative technique that processes the patient’s own blood to deliver high concentrations of growth factors to the surgical area, encouraging better outcomes.
But technical skill is only part of the story. Dr Ryu also values being part of a team that respects each other and prioritises patient comfort. His approach is calm, professional, and always centred on the person in the chair.
When He’s Not at the Clinic
You’ll often find Dr Ryu walking, staying active with exercise, or spending time with his family. He also enjoys winding down with Netflix – good entertainment, just like a great smile, is worth making time for.
