Dr Terry Pu

Dr Yi (Terry) Pu is the Founder and Director of Platypus Dental Group, bringing a purpose-driven and strategic perspective to modern dental care. He approaches dentistry not only as a clinical discipline, but as an integrated healthcare system that must deliver consistently high standards while remaining ethical, sustainable, and accessible.

Platypus Dental was founded with a clear vision: to revolutionise the standards of dental care in Australia. Guided by this ambition, Dr Pu leads with a strong sense of purpose: to guide patients through a remarkable dental journey while rebuilding their confidence through exceptional oral care.

With extensive experience across comprehensive general dentistry, Dr Pu provides preventive, restorative, and complex oral rehabilitation treatments, including dental implants and All-on-X procedures. His clinical philosophy is grounded in evidence-based practice, minimally invasive techniques, transparent communication, and responsible decision-making that prioritises long-term patient wellbeing over short-term intervention.

Beyond clinical excellence, Dr Pu is deeply committed to advancing equitable access to dentistry. He believes quality oral healthcare should be fair, transparent, and patient-centric, and he embeds these principles through education-led consultations, ethical treatment planning, and clear, value-based communication.

Dr Pu also recognises the growing importance of sustainability in healthcare delivery, supporting practice models that reduce unnecessary treatment, minimise waste, and promote lasting health outcomes while aligning clinical excellence with environmental and social responsibility.

Under Dr Pu’s leadership, Platypus Dental continues to evolve as a forward-thinking organisation that balances clinical integrity with operational excellence; delivering dentistry that is both commercially sound and socially responsible.
