About Us
A measured approach:
At Measured Dental Care, our goal is ultimately to bring our clients to the point where only routine check-ups and cleaning appointments are necessary. From your first appointment, we want to gain a clear understanding of your dental history and lifestyle. Then, we work with you to create a strategic treatment plan to best suit your goals, life stage and budget.
A lot of the major dental work we perform on new clients is due to mismanaged problems over the long term. Short-sighted dental work can cause pain and unnecessary expense over time, and we want to prevent that.
Our measured approach to your dental care ensures that potential problems are identified early on, minimising the need for major dental work down the track. When clients present with existing issues, we always suggest a treatment plan that will restore dental structure and health for the long term. Quick band-aid fixes are not what we do, and we won't recommend them.
Dr Chai Lim
Dentist
Dr Chai Lim is a fixer. He likes problems and he's really good at solving them. Specialising in reconstructive work and continuing care, Chai is focused on individualised care, and views his clients as collaborators in stabilising their dental health.
For Chai, this is not just about dentistry – people are at the heart of why he loves this work. Chai is proud of the effusive client recommendations and industry acknowledgements, but he is equally proud of the fact that many of his staff and clients have been with him for over a decade.

Community engagement
Chai participates in the annual Ride for Youth, and has directly helped to raise over $390,000 for Youth Focus. This charity provides vital mental health services for at risk youth, free of charge.
The five day event sees Chai ride from Albany to Perth as part of a team, stopping along the way to present to local high schools, where team members engage with students on issues of suicide, depression and self harm.

Karina Pausin
Oral health therapist
Karina believes that the best results come from individualised care, where patients are offered tailored, alternative solutions that they may not have known are available to them. As a keen fitness and food enthusiast, Karina is mindful of the ways in which lifestyle impacts on one’s oral health (and vice versa).
Karina hopes that the positive experiences patients have at Measured Dental Care will displace the fears that they sometimes bring to the dentist chair. She wants you to feel welcome and happy to be there.
Qualification
Bachelor of Science, Oral Health Therapy (Curtin University) 2018
