Get to know Niall!
The exact moment that I decided I wanted to become a dentist…
I failed my medical school entrance exams…. (JOKING!) No, I never really had a ‘moment’ to be honest. Dentistry was one of a few options; and I just consider myself so lucky to have ended up enjoying the job as much as I do.
What I love most about my job…
It would have to be the patients. At the end of the day, this is a people business; and I feel we are fortunate to be able to connect with so many people day in, day out. We are also able to see our patients in times of health for check-ups, which allows us to build long-term relationships based on trust and understanding.
My favourite type of dental treatment…
A single crown preparation on a tooth. You start with a broken tooth, repair it with a core filling, and then carefully prepare it by hand. It involves a combination of manual skill and consideration of biological and mechanical factors.
If I wasn’t a dentist, I would be…
A teacher most likely.
My favourite thing to do on the Gold Coast in my spare time…
I’ve recently started exploring the Gold Coast hinterland more regularly, going on cycling trips and enjoying the scenery.
