Welcome to YourSmileDental !
Over the past 19 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 Scotland, where I was born and raised by my Chinese parents, hence the Scottish accent which can confuse some people (with the Chinese appearance). I graduated with a Batchelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Glasgow University in 1999.
I am trained in implant dentistry through the UCLA School of Dentistry, with completion of the 1-Year UCLA/gIDE Master Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry. I greatly believe in extensive continuing professional development and completed numerous courses throughout the years including the CEO Dental Mini Residency in Prosthodontics and the renowned 2-year Progressive Orthodontic Seminars training in Orthodontics.
My passion is helping people get their smile (and confidence) back. I believe that 'it’s never too late for your perfect smile' which is why we have named our practice YourSmileDental. It’s all about Your Smile.
As locals of Darwin, my husband and I want to serve our community by providing an excellent standard of dental care in a warm family atmosphere where everyone – patients and staff feel welcome, looked after and cared for.
Other than work and studies, I love spending quality time with my family, travelling and living a lifestyle of health and fitness.

The Northern Territory has been my beloved home for almost 10 years.
I am originally from the Philippines. After graduating from the University of East Philippines with my degree (Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2005), I worked in my own private practice for 5 years. |
I have been brought up with a strong emphasis on the importance of hard work and education and shortly after attaining my Dental Degree, I continued on to complete Post Graduate Training in Orthodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry. I also underwent a hospital-based Internship Programme in Oral Surgery.
I am very excited about having now passed my Australian Dental Council exams and obtaining my registration to work as a dentist in Australia.
Prior to this, I have been working consistently in the dental field as a Clinical Coordinator assisting and observing various experienced dentists.
My goal at YourSmileDental is to provide optimum dental care for all of my patients.
I believe this will be achieved through my passion to help people as well as from my previous training and cumulative knowledge and experience attained throughout my career in the dental field.
Aside from my passion with dentistry, I devote my time to my beautiful family, my friends, enjoying life to the fullest and importantly, my faith.

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. |
Following the completion of my Degree in Oral Health Therapy (OHT), I have now completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery at James Cook University.
Dentistry has provided me with such unique and challenging experiences both here in Australia and overseas. I was fortunate enough to spend 5 months working in the Torres Strait Islands in far north Queensland. Following this experience, I spent a month working in the Solomon Islands, working in both Auki (capital of the Malaita Province) and in the remote village of Atoifi. All these communities are extremely under serviced by medical and dental practitioners, which was extremely eye opening and challenging at times.
I believe I can provide my patients at YourSmileDental with the highest standard of personalised care.
Outside of my passion for dentistry, I am a very keen cricketer, fisherman and love the lifestyle that comes with the Territory.

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. |
I am passionate about working with children and providing a gentle approach to oral health services. I can provide dental services to all ages (Adult Scope), from providing preventive care, managing periodontal disease (gum disease), teeth restorations to whitening.
Outside of my work life I enjoy yoga and travelling.

Originally from South Australia, I have been a frequent visitor of the NT for a number of years. I want to further explore the beautiful landscapes that the NT is well known for. I have moved here because I love the lifestyle and overall “feel” of Darwin and look forward to becoming a member of the community.
I completed a Bachelor of Oral Health in 2018 and attained a Graduate Certificate in Oral Health Science in 2019, both at The University of Adelaide. |
These qualifications allow me to provide a wide range of both preventative and restorative dental care to patients of all ages. I have a passion for oral health promotion to help the patients, placed in my care, obtain and maintain their optimum oral health. I am excited to be a part of the team at Your Smile Dental where I can use my skills and experience for the benefit of all my patients.
During my studies I was fortunate enough to travel to Cambodia with tutors and classmates where we provided care and oral health education to primary school students in rural areas. This was a humbling experience which I hope to do more of in the future both within and outside of Australia.
I look forward to meeting those entrusted in my care. You can be assured that I will do my best to assist you with your optimal oral health!

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. |
I commuted from Geelong to Melbourne University to study my Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy (OHT). Whilst there, it was instilled in me how vital it is to not only manage dental diseases, but also very importantly to prevent them from first occurring. This can be done through building rapport and a trusting relationship with my patients, then educating them and collaborating with them as to what their dental needs are.
Oral health therapy provides an expanded scope of treatment including treatment of gum disease and tooth decay for people of all ages, whitening and preventative care. I’ve always had a desire to work in the healthcare industry so that I could assist people to achieve their wellness goals.
As well as personal connections in Darwin, I am also excited to join the YourSmileDental team!
I’m still exploring extracurricular activities and always keen to try new things, so don’t hold back in giving me tips for things I must see or do in the Northern Territory!
