I graduated from the University of Adelaide and since then has been in private practice both in rural and metropolitan Victoria. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, with a particular love of cosmetic dentistry, and am currently persuing further study in dental implants. 

I have a passion for patient-centred, evidence-based dentistry, with the primary importance being your own health and dental goals.

Dr Elizabeth Ladyjenski

Dentist 

I graduated from University of Melbourne, Dental School in 2005. During my time at various dental practices, I have noticed a trend towards fast paced dentistry, with minimal patient care. My vision for Corio Central Dental is to welcome patients with kindness, compassion and take the time to really get to know each individual and attend to their needs.

My practice is limited to removal of wisdom teeth and minor oral surgery. I have an adorable dog and a gorgeous cat. I am a big lover of animals and live + breathe a vegan lifestyle.
