Get to know Arjun!
The exact moment that I decided I wanted to become a dentist was…
My experience at my orthodontist where his treatments were not only improving peoples teeth but also their overall lives really left a lasting impression. After school, it seemed like a great profession where you could make a difference to someones life in sometimes as little as a single visit.
What I love most about my job…
The ability to do this and improve someone’s life in sometimes 1-2 appointments is so rewarding.
My favourite type of treatment…
Replacing/Restoring missing or broken teeth.
If I wasn’t a dentist, I would be…
In the Music industry, a Food Critic or a Beer sommelier.
My favourite thing to do on the Gold Coast in my spare time…
Outside of work I love to travel, explore food, listen to music and play with technology. My young old son keeps me on my toes.
