Sustainability
Pristine Dentistry is continuing to work hard and make changes to become a greener dental practice and to reduce our impact on the environment.
Where possible, we are using digital scanning for our impressions.
This reduces the use of plastic materials and also the need to use couriers.
Our cleaning products are biodegradable, which meet all our infection control guidelines and are TGA approved.
Patients will notice a difference in their goody bags that they received after their professional clean.
There is now a toothbrush which is 96% biodegradable.
We are also a community collection hub for recycling used oral care products such as:
Toothbrushes, floss containers, toothpaste tubes and packaging.
We forward used items to TerraCycle who process and recycle it.
An added bonus is that TerraCycle send a cheque to our chosen community charity for each box we send them.
Our Services
Dental Examinations

Meet Our Team
Dr Pandiyan Thevar
Principal Dentist and Owner of Pristine Dentistry
What a credit it is to Dr Pandiyan to see the transition from Ingle Family Dental to Pristine Dentistry, our new state of the art practice, which Dr Pandiyan has created for the comfort of all patients.
Dr Pandiyan is our Principal Dentist and has over a decade of experience in general dentistry in Adelaide.
Dr Pandiyan has continued his work in private practice, while giving back to the profession he is so passionate about, by tutoring and mentoring final year dental students in the teaching clinics of the Adelaide Dental School.
An advocate for preventative dentistry, Dr Pandiyan established Pristine Dentistry with the aim to create a quality dental practice where we listen to patients concerns and provide dental care that suits patients’ individual needs.
We are one of the few dental practices who provide full dental care for the whole family.
With the latest technology and a great focus on patients’ needs, Dr Pandiyan will provide you with the best experience possible. He is understanding and compassionate, especially with patients who have dental and needle phobias. It is a credit to his personality and he takes great pride in seeing his patients gain confidence and trust with every visit.
He is a gentle, caring dentist who has gained extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of dentistry including the completion of the Masters Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry. Dr Pandiyan’s special interests are endodontics, cosmetic dentistry and implant procedures. Creating beautiful smiles is his greatest quality.
Dr Pandiyan is married to Suganthi, and has 2 very energetic children who keep him busy outside of Pristine Dentistry. Be prepared to see Dr Pandiyan out and about especially as he is a great sports lover whether it be tennis, cricket or the footy. He barracks for all the Adelaide teams but we think he is a one-eyed crow supporter. Dr Pandiyan and his family also enjoy exploring new cities and countryside while Dr Pandiyan’s early morning daily routine begins with a jog around the River Torrens Linear Park Trail.
