Dr Keating subsequently chose to focus his post graduate studies in the areas of complex restorative, cosmetic and implant dentistry. He joined Kings Dental over 20 years ago and has more than 30,000 hours of clinical experience.
In 2020, Dr Keating was inducted as a Fellow into the International College of Dentists. This organisation is an invitation only, peer-reviewed recognition of “outstanding professional achievement, meritorious service and dedication to the continued progress of dentistry for the benefit of humankind.” The College has been “Honoring the World’s Leading Dentists Since 1920” tm.
Dr Keating has an ongoing involvement with the Pankey Institute for Advanced Dentistry, in Key Biscayne, Florida. He is a member of the Australian Dental Association and is associated with numerous study groups. He has lectured as part of the University of Western Australia’s program for graduate dentists and is a mentor to several younger dentists.
Kings Dental is proud to be a Gold Founding Donor for our charity of choice, Bridge2Aid Australia. The charity has devised a unique solution of providing emergency dental care in rural communities by way of intensive practical training to existing local health workers. Dr Keating also serves as a Director on the Board of Bridge2Aid Australia.
Dr Keating is married with three children and in his life outside of dentistry, his simple joy is sharing time with his family.
Dr Elmer Lee
DENTIST
Dr Elmer Lee graduated from the University of Western Australia’s Dental School and was one of the stand-outs of the class of 2011. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and spent some of his younger years in New Zealand and Taiwan before completing his high school and tertiary education here in Perth. He speaks both Mandarin and English fluently.
Dr Lee chose Kalgoorlie as his first place of practice. Due to the significant lack of dental care in rural areas, he was exposed to more difficult cases and able to rapidly expand his skillset. Following this invaluable start to his career, Dr Lee returned to Perth in search of an exceptional practice to continue his professional growth and happily joined Kings Dental in 2015.
During his time at Kings Dental, Dr Lee has continued to pursue his studies and continuing professional development. His areas of post graduate training include Digital Smile Design, implant dentistry, Invisalign and neuromuscular modulators to name a few. He is passionate about dentistry and conducts his work with comfort, precision, quality and artistry.
Outside of dentistry, Dr Lee loves his yearly snowboarding trip to Japan and hopes there will be opportunities to carve up some powder in other countries in the future. Additionally, he enjoys playing ultimate frisbee, basketball and golf. He has a talent for travel photography and you can see some of his work displayed in the practice!

Dr Judit Szito was born in Hungary and emigrated to Australia at age 6. After completing her dental studies at the University of Western Australia’s Dental School in 2002, her first private practice position was in rural New Zealand.

Dr Szito has completed the Membership Program of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, passing her final examination in July 2014.
