Dr Bill Kalis is the Principal Dentist and owner of Padstow Dental, with more than 30 years of experience helping patients restore their oral health, function, comfort and confidence through high-quality, personalised dental care.

A graduate of the University of Sydney, Dr Kalis earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery with First Class Honours in 1994 and later completed a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Dentistry at the University of Adelaide. Since entering private practice, he has developed a reputation for managing complex restorative and surgical cases with a level of experience, precision and clinical judgment that comes from decades of dedicated practice.

Dr Kalis has a particular focus on implant dentistry, reconstructive dentistry, oral surgery, IV sedation and cosmetic dental treatment. He routinely assists patients requiring comprehensive rehabilitation, whether replacing missing teeth, rebuilding heavily worn dentitions, restoring function after years of dental breakdown, or helping anxious patients receive treatment comfortably and safely.

His approach combines advanced clinical expertise with meticulous treatment planning, ensuring every recommendation is guided by long-term outcomes rather than short-term solutions. Patients value his ability to simplify complex decisions, explain options clearly and develop treatment plans that are practical, predictable and tailored to individual circumstances.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr Kalis has made significant contributions to the dental profession. He is a former State President and former Federal President of the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry (ASID), reflecting a longstanding commitment to professional leadership, education and the advancement of implant dentistry in Australia.
