Dr Francis Tenazas

Meet Dr Francis.

Dr Francis Tenazas is part of the dental team at Grey Street Dentist in St Kilda, working alongside Dr Hyun Soo Yu and the wider practice.

His clinical focus sits in preventative and restorative dentistry — keeping healthy teeth healthy, catching problems while they are still small, and rebuilding teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear or old dentistry. That restorative grounding matters in an implant practice, because the crown, bridge or final restoration is what a patient actually sees and uses every day.

Patients know Francis for a calm, unhurried style. He places a strong emphasis on keeping people well informed and comfortable, taking time to listen and to talk through the available options thoroughly so the treatment chosen is genuinely the right one. He practises with compassion and honesty, and works to build long-term, trusting relationships with the people in his chair.

Outside the practice, Francis can usually be found shooting hoops at the local park or enjoying a good coffee.
