It has been my dream to become a dentist as I have always had a great interest in teeth and oral health. Since I had to go through various dental treatment as a child, I am well aware of uneasiness that comes from the experience. Hence my career as a dentist started with a goal of changing this perception. Minimally invasive or conservative dentistry has always been a core part of my treatment, and providing dental care that reflects individual needs is my priority.

A relationship between a dentist and a patient is a lifelong journey. We work together towards a common goal of maintaining good teeth and oral health, without having to worry about a fear of coming to see the dentist.

Since graduating from UWA with Doctor of Dental Medicine, I have been constantly trying to improve and broaden my skill sets to accommodate the different demands of patients through various courses and professional development.

I enjoy providing general dental care for my patients, as well as providing a beautiful smile through aesthetic dental treatment.

A keen eye towards the Art Of Nature allowed me to master the skills of observation since an early age. Having graduated in 2003, with bachelors in Dental Surgery, my desire to blend beauty with dentistry encouraged me to earn a post-grad in Aesthetic Dentistry from State University of New York in 2005. With time, passion for refining my artistry took me to the alluring horizons of Vienna in Austria, from where i earned my Mastership in Laser Dentistry.

Over the last 15 years I have enjoyed various facets of dentistry, as lecturer teaching recent advances to post graduated dental students, working closely with leading dental equipment manufacturers in developing ergomatic equipment designs for dentist, had the privilege to work with Noritake Ceramics in Japan with empowered my knowledge in dental laboratory technology (a rare opportunity for a dentist), trained laboratory technicians in creating Aesthetic smiles, designed and developed beautiful dental surgeries for friends.

My realisation that an attractive smile extends beyond the border teeth and gums, inclined me to acquire skill in facial aesthetics and that’s were I presently stand, enjoying the course of this amazing journey.

In the pursuit of designing beautiful smiles, I need to keep at par with the cutting edge technology such as use of metal-free implants, no prep veneers, gum pigmentation just to name a few.
