Welcome to YourSmileDental !
Over the past 20 years, living and working in Darwin, I have grown to love the lifestyle and people here. I am passionate about my vocation as a dentist and with well over 20 years of clinical experience, have realised that it is vital that my patients feel cared for regardless of what their dental treatment need is. |
Originally from the Philippines, the Northern Territory has been my beloved home for the past 13 years. After graduating from the University of East Philippines with a Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree (2005), I worked in my own private practice for 5 years. Being a great believer in continual learning, I then went on to complete Post Graduate Training in Orthodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry and also a hospital-based Internship Programme in Oral Surgery. |
I am a Darwin local and completed my entire schooling in Darwin. I have always had a passion for dentistry. When I completed year 12, I entered the dental industry working as a chair side assistant. This experience made me realise that Dentistry was definitely a career I wanted to strive towards.
I completed my first Bachelor Degree in Oral Health Therapy (OHT) at Griffith University and have worked as an Oral Health Therapist for 5 years following. |
Born and raised in the Northern Territory, I moved to Queensland in the early 2000s to complete my tertiary studies. After completing my Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Technology and Master of Dental Technology in Prosthetics at Griffith University QLD, I worked as a Dental Technician and Prosthetist on the Gold Coast, Hervey and Darwin.
Wanting to be more proactive in preventing oral disease and improving oral health I decided to return to University and completed a Bachelor of Oral Health with Distinction at Central QLD University. |
Originally from Geelong, Victoria, I have recently traversed Australia to come to the Top End. I am very excited to meet and come to know the people of this amazing tropical paradise.
From the young age of 16 years, I started working in the dental industry after completing work experience. In time, I developed as a dental assistant and realised that this is the environment that I’d like to work in for the long term. |
Originally from the Mid North Coast of Australia, I moved to Darwin in 2023 to experience the wonderful relaxed lifestyle, tropical warm weather, variety of cultures and of course the laksa!
I have worked within the dental industry since 2018 starting as a dental assistant on East Coast at a variety of practices before pursuing it further by going to university. |
