What I love most about my job is…
The level of detail involved in dentistry and the unique combination of art and science it requires. I also appreciate that it is a profession where you can continually refine your skills and become better over time. Most importantly, I enjoy seeing the positive impact that good dental care can have on patients’ health, confidence and overall wellbeing
My favourite type of dental treatment is…
When patients need to rebuild and restore a tooth or an entire smile, carefully recreating form and function to resemble natural teeth as closely as possible.
If I wasn’t a dentist, I would be…
Probably an artist, working in sculpture or painting. I’ve always enjoyed creating things with my hands and working with form and detail.
My favourite thing to do on the Gold Coast in my spare time is…
Spending time outdoors, especially at the beach or camping. I also enjoy cooking good food and spending quality time with family and friends.
