Dr Philip Moss, BsC (UNSW), BsD (Sydney)
Principal Dentist
Dr Philip Moss founded Katoomba Dental Centre in 1998. He is a Sydney University Graduate with 20 years experience in the Royal Australian Air Force before coming to work in the Blue Mountains. Phil loves being able to solve patient's oral health problems and provide education. Phil is passionate and experienced in Implant placements, Crown and Bridge restorative works, and oral surgery, delivering care to all of his patients with compassion and understanding.
Phil sold Katoomba Dental Centre to his son James in 2018, but has remained an integral member of the business, helping to guide and shape it for the future with James. Both Phil and James hope to grow Katoomba Dental Centre into a thriving business, providing accessible and high-quality services to the community of the Upper Blue Mountains.
When not mentoring or working within Katoomba Dental Centre, you can find Phil often working on his gardens. He has successfully created beautiful gardens at his home in the Blue Mountains, where it is on display during some of the yearly garden festivals. When he has time for leisure he often enjoys playing tennis, or skiing during the winter season.

Dr James Seunghoon Lim, BDS (ADE)
Associate Dentist
Dr James Lim is a dedicated, motivated and enthusiastic dentist and a proud member of the Australian Dental Association. Through his colleagues and other notable clinicians, he consistently broadens his knowledge in the dental field so he can provide up-to-date care to the patients in our Blue Mountains community.
With the addition of Dr James to the Katoomba dental team, we now have plenty of dentists on staff for timely treatment for our patients, including their hygiene appointments and dental emergencies.
According to Dr James, the best thing about being a dentist is providing high-quality treatment to patients. He is committed to building trusting relationships with everyone he treats. And Dr James believes dental care should always occur in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Outside of dentistry, he enjoys socialising and competing in tabletop games, online video games and is interested in delving into Warhammer and DnD. If you have any good suggestions for board games, make sure to let him know!

Mr James Moss, B.Sc.IT
Owner
James is the owner of Katoomba Dental Centre and has been managing the practice since 2015.
Originally in IT and software design, James developed a passion for the Health Industry working for his father, and previous owner of Katoomba Dental Centre. James enjoys seeing the positive changes patients experience after completing their treatment and receiving fantastic health and aesthetic results.
James truly appreciates that dentistry is expensive, and strives to help all patients with costs and working with the dentists on treatment planning to best fit the needs of every individual patient. This has been reflected by the several initiatives he has implemented into the practice since he started, including flexible payment plans, membership programs, and affordable pricing of treatment.
James loves the Blue Mountains and has mostly lived in the area for the past 19 years. One of James' main hobbies is Snowboarding. He has been traveling to the snow most years since he was a young teenager and has always enjoyed the cold snowy weather.
