Therapist and Hygienist


BDS

I am an oversea dentist and a  GDC-registered Dental Therapist who is passionate about making smiles healthier and brighter. I specialize in periodontal care, restorative treatments, paediatric dentistry, and cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and bonding. Whether it’s tackling gum issues, fixing up a tooth, or helping children feel at ease in the dentist’s chair, I’m here to make every visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

I’m passionate about keeping up with the latest developments in dental therapy and paediatric care, so I can offer my patients a top-notch treatment. My goal is to help patients feel confident about their oral health and leave every appointment smiling—not just because their teeth look great, but because they had a pleasant and positive experience.
