Dr Margaret Preston
Dr Preston completed her dental degree at Melbourne University in 1968, being awarded an Honours Degree and the first female to be the dux of the course. She has been a dentist for 55 years and has been with East Keilor Dental for 38 of those years.
Dr Preston was always interested in the medical sciences, but dentistry seemed more family-friendly. She loves making a difference in her patients' lives in many ways and influencing them to maintain their oral health for a lifetime.
Continuing education has always been a strong focus of her professional life, and she has attended many courses in all aspects of dentistry, both nationally and internationally, to maintain her knowledge of current research, materials, techniques and practice. Dr Preston's interests in dentistry include preventive training and dental education, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, paedodontics and oral medicine and surgery.
When she's not caring for patients, you might find Dr Preston gardening, travelling, cooking, and entertaining. She's also been known to restore and upholster furniture when needed. A fun fact that people may not know about Dr Preston is that she's adventurous and enjoys taking risks.
