What Sets Dr Dylan’s Training Apart
A Postgraduate Diploma — Not a Two-Day Course
Most dentists offering Invisalign complete a two-day accreditation program. Dr Dylan holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Clear Aligner Therapy from City of London University Dental School — an 18-month university qualification covering occlusion science, biomechanics, airway integration, and complex case management at a postgraduate academic level.
An Educator, Not Just a Provider
Dr Dylan is an International Invisalign Educator — meaning he trains other dentists in clear aligner technique. When you sit in his chair, you are being treated by the person who teaches the providers.
A DSD Master
As a certified DSD Master trained directly under Christian Coachman’s Digital Smile Design program, Dr Dylan designs every smile digitally before any treatment begins. This means you see your result in 3D simulation before committing to a single aligner.
Airway-Integrated Treatment Planning
In May 2024, Dr Dylan completed an Airway and Sleep Masterclass — one of the most current qualifications in the dental profession. He now assesses every patient’s airway health and sleep function as part of their treatment planning. Most Invisalign providers do not.
Trained Across Four Continents
Dr Dylan’s training has taken him from Johannesburg to London, São Paulo to New Zealand. This breadth of international exposure informs a clinical perspective that goes well beyond what any single training system offers.
Dr Dylan’s Clinical Philosophy
“Function comes before aesthetics. A smile must work correctly before it can look beautiful.”
1. Comprehensive diagnosis first. Before recommending any treatment, Dr Dylan assesses facial aesthetics, jaw function, occlusion, airway health, and existing wear patterns. Treatment plans are built on clinical evidence — not assumptions.
2. Orthodontics as the foundation. For patients seeking smile improvements, Invisalign is almost always the starting point. Moving teeth into their correct position first means subsequent aesthetic work — whitening, composite contouring — requires minimal intervention and lasts significantly longer.
3. Minimally invasive always. Dr Dylan’s commitment to preserving natural tooth structure is absolute. The ABC Smile Makeover — his signature treatment framework — is designed to achieve comprehensive smile transformations with zero tooth preparation in the majority of cases.
4. Long-term stability over short-term appearance. A result that looks good today but fails in five years is not a result worth achieving. Every plan at Taylor Street Dental is designed for longevity.
The ABC Smile Makeover
Dr Dylan’s signature treatment framework — Align, Brighten, Contour — is the only comprehensive smile system of its kind in the Hills District.
It combines Invisalign clear aligners, professional whitening, and minimally invasive composite contouring into a sequenced transformation that delivers natural-looking results without drilling, without porcelain veneers, and without compromising the health of your teeth.
International Speaking & Education
Dr Dylan is a recognised International Speaker and Keynote Presenter, invited to present at dental conferences across the Asia-Pacific region. His speaking topics include Invisalign case complexity, Digital Smile Design integration, and airway-aware treatment planning.
He is also the founder of educational programs for Invisalign providers — training dentists who wish to elevate their aligner therapy outcomes beyond the standard accreditation level.
A Note on Patient Experience
Dr Dylan understands that many patients arrive at Taylor Street Dental having considered Invisalign for years — and having hesitated, for reasons ranging from uncertainty about the process to concerns about cost or commitment.
His consultation approach is unhurried, educational, and honest. He will tell you clearly what is possible, what is not, what the process involves, and what the realistic outcome looks like for your specific case. There is no sales pressure. There are no templates.
“I would rather spend an extra twenty minutes explaining a treatment plan than have a patient start something they don’t fully understand.”
