In 2004, I founded Sparkle Dental with my wife and fellow dentist, Shereen.

Over these years, we’ve worked with hundreds of patients who felt embarrassed to smile and lost their confidence as a result. I’m proud to have helped so many of these patients overcome their dental fears and restore their overall quality of life – this is a real passion of mine.

Through sedation dentistry, I help my patients conquer their dental fears. Through reconstructive and implant dentistry, I help my patients regain their confidence and restore their quality of life, with a new smile they feel proud to share.

Keeping up to date with the latest dental technologies and techniques is extremely important to me, so I take time to travel and learn from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, whenever possible.

Outside of work I love spending time with my girls Shereen, Jessica and Chloe, playing golf, going to the movies and fishing. Las Vegas and skiing in Japan are both high on my travel bucket list.

As one of Australia’s first dentists to qualify in dental sleep medicine, I have been involved in managing adult snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea with dental devices that help open the airway during sleep.

I’m extremely passionate about helping people breathe and sleep easier.  In adults with snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, I can help with dental devices that open the airway during sleep.  In children, I help address problems like mouth breathing through a combination of approaches.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, reading, live music, and spending time with Alex and our two beautiful girls Jessica and Chloe. High on my travel bucket list is a Disney Cruise in Alaska.

I’ve been a dentist at Sparkle Dental since 2007.

Helping patients deal with anxiety while providing the best dental care, has become one of the most rewarding parts of my role as a dentist. It brings a smile to my face when I think of the all the patients I’ve been able to help with the spectrum of sedation options we have available, from using nitrous or ‘laughing’ gas to help uncertain children get through their first filling, to using twilight sedation to help a ‘dental phobic’ adult who has been avoiding the dentist for years.

I too, have a special interest in helping adults with crowded or misaligned teeth achieve fantastic new smiles using Invisalign. The excitement these patients have about getting the smile they have always wanted is so great to see.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing with my two dogs, traveling to new places, trying new foods, skiing and music. Going skydiving (again) is high on my bucket list.
