Clinician. Technologist. Director.
Dr Peter Laird
Engineering precision and artistic mastery in modern dentistry.
A New Standard in Dental Leadership
Dr Peter Laird represents a new generation of dental leadership—one that bridges the gap between clinical precision and artistic manufacturing.
As Director of Glenferrie Dental and co-founder of Ikigai Ceramics, Peter does not simply prescribe dental solutions; he engineers them. By leading both a high-volume implant clinic and a cutting-edge dental laboratory, he maintains rare control over the entire patient journey—from the initial consultation in the chair to the final milling in the lab.
This integrated approach allows for uncompromising quality, predictability, and aesthetic outcomes that feel natural, intentional, and enduring.
Clinical Philosophy
Peter’s approach is grounded in the belief that dentistry is a fusion of engineering and art.
A graduate of the University of Queensland (2012), he has pursued extensive postgraduate training, including the Master Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry at Loma Linda University (USA), alongside advanced residencies in prosthodontics.
His clinical focus is centred on complex rehabilitation cases where precision, planning, and execution must align seamlessly.

“The most rewarding moment isn’t the procedure itself; it’s the second the patient looks in the mirror and recognises themselves again.”

Beyond the Chair

Outside of dentistry, Peter is an avid landscape photographer. His understanding of lighting, balance, and composition directly informs his approach to dental aesthetics—where the ultimate goal is always to create something that looks and feels undeniably natural.
