What started out as a temporary visit to Australia, became permanent with Chris proudly receiving citizenship in July 2019. After spending time in both Queensland and Victoria working in Private practice; Chris decided that Queensland was where his heart lay.

Chris practices all aspects of general dentistry. His typical day consists of surgical and complex restorative dentistry. He is particularly experienced in wisdom teeth removal and offers this service under IV sedation. If you’ve been told you need your wisdom teeth removing under general anaesthetic be sure and book in to see him first for a complimentary wisdom tooth consult as this might not be the case.
