DR ARCHANA BARLI
Dr Archana Barli has been caring for patients and families across Altona Meadows, Point Cook and Melbourne’s western suburbs since 2006.
She founded Million Smiles Dental in 2013 because she wanted patients to be able to receive a broad range of dental care in one familiar and welcoming practice.
Dr Barli has a particular interest in complex dental rehabilitation and smile transformation. Her clinical work includes full mouth and full arch rehabilitation, All on X implant treatment, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, early intervention orthodontics, laser dentistry, sleep apnoea management and sedation dentistry.
What she enjoys most is helping patients who feel overwhelmed by their dental problems or are unsure where to begin.
For Dr Barli, treatment planning is never about looking at one tooth in isolation. She considers the patient’s overall oral health, bite, function, facial appearance and future needs. She then takes the time to explain what she has found, what the available options are and what each option may involve.
Her aim is to help every patient make an informed decision that feels right for them.
Dr Barli continues to develop her knowledge through ongoing education and evidence based training. She is a member of the Australian Dental Association at both federal and Victorian levels. She holds a Fellowship in Oral Implantology in Melbourne and is a registered provider of Invisalign and Myofunctional Orthodontics.
MENTORING OTHER DENTISTS
Dr Barli also enjoys mentoring younger dentists and sharing the lessons she has gained throughout her career. She supports them in improving their clinical skills, communicating more clearly with patients and becoming more confident in their decision making.
OUTSIDE THE PRACTICE
Outside dentistry, Dr Barli enjoys spending time with her children, going on long drives, listening to music, reading nonfiction, playing badminton and catching up with friends.
She also supports fundraising initiatives related to cancer, neurological conditions, mental health, children’s welfare and evidence based research.
At Million Smiles Dental, Dr Barli and her team take the time to understand each patient, explain what is possible and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.
