Hannah is known for her gentle approach and thorough communication, ensuring patients understand their treatment options. With experience across general dentistry, she focuses on restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, implant restorations), Invisalign and dentofacial aesthetic injectables.
To further develop her knowledge in facial aesthetic treatments, Dr Hannah completed a Masters of Science (Aesthetic Medicine), which forms a key part of her clinical focus. She utilises treatments such as muscle relaxant injections, dermal fillers and Profhilo where appropriate. These treatments may also be used in managing concerns such as jaw clenching and associated symptoms. Suitability for all treatments is assessed on an individual basis.
Hannah has a strong interest in digital technology and digital smile design and is committed to ongoing professional development. She understands that dental visits can be challenging for some patients and aims to provide care with patience and consideration. For patients requiring additional support, treatment under general anaesthetic may be available in an appropriate clinical setting.

The exact moment that I decided I wanted to become a dentist…
I can’t say there was an exact moment that I realised I wanted to become a dentist, although I knew it was always going to be something in the health field. Like many seventeen-year-olds, fresh out of high school I’d made several applications to different health-related Bachelor degree programs around Australia. I believe there were several offers in different fields, however I chose the Dental program at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. This career path suited me well, combining health science, patient connection and hands-on clinical work.
What I love most about my job…
The part of my job I enjoy the most is helping patients understand their oral health and supporting them towards improved outcomes. I aim to guide patients through their treatment options and help them achieve and maintain a stable oral health state.
My favourite type of dental treatment…
In modern dentistry, treatment planning often involves a combination of approaches rather than a single procedure. I enjoy working with patients to develop a tailored treatment plan that considers short, medium and long-term outcomes.
If I wasn’t a dentist…
I’d likely still be working in the field of facial aesthetics, focusing on treatments that support skin health and patient wellbeing.
My favourite thing to do on the Gold Coast in my spare time…
Anything that allows me to enjoy the local environment. I spend time around the Broadwater and beaches and enjoy caring for my growing plant collection at home and in my surgery.
