About us
About MS Dental Fletcher for Aberglasslyn Families
MS Dental has no clinic in Aberglasslyn. Families from the suburb travel about 36 km to MS Dental Fletcher on Churnwood Drive, one of three clinics in the MS Dental group led by principal dentist Dr Monika Shah.
Our practice
A Family Practice Across Three Clinics
MS Dental runs clinics in Cardiff, Fletcher and Mayfield. Dr Monika Shah is the principal dentist, and a single practice manager, Chantelle, oversees all three. The group's motto is "Dentistry with Care", and at Fletcher that shows in everyday details: free parking at the door, a step-free entrance and treatment rooms on the ground floor, all of which help when you arrive with children in tow.
For Aberglasslyn, Fletcher is the closest of the three clinics. Implants and laser treatment are done on site, so most patients are not sent somewhere else partway through treatment. For families making a 39 minute drive, that matters, because a course of care can stay at one address. Children's appointments, cleans and fluoride are part of the everyday work of the clinic.

Questions
About Our Clinicians
- Are the clinicians registered?
- Yes. All clinicians at MS Dental are registered with the Dental Board of Australia through AHPRA. When you book from Aberglasslyn, you can also ask reception which clinician you will be seeing on the day.
- Who leads MS Dental?
- Dr Monika Shah is the principal dentist. She earned her BDS in 2006, moved to Australia in 2007 and leads the clinical team across the Cardiff, Fletcher and Mayfield clinics. Chantelle, the practice manager, manages all three locations.
- Will I see the same dentist every time?
- Several clinicians work at more than one MS Dental clinic, so the dentist at Fletcher may be at Cardiff or Mayfield on other days. If you would like a particular clinician, ask reception who is in on the day you want.
