Dr Kathryn J Handicott is a female General Dentist.
Dr Kathryn has always been interested in dentistry since a young age, having been a patient herself with orthodontics. Her passion only grew when completing work experience roles and starting her training.
She also finds that dentistry is the perfect blend of practical work with important, sometimes life-changing, outcomes that allows her to meet and interact with people all day, every day. “No two teeth, mouths or patients are the same, so it’s challenging, exciting and rewarding, day in, day out.”
Dr Kathryn earned a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) awarded by Cardiff University (UK) in 2011 with First Class Honours. She is also a Member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (Glasgow).
To stay abreast of the latest in the field, Dr Kathryn regularly attends ADA WA courses locally in Perth and completes hundreds of hours of online PD content a year. She has also travelled internationally for PD, including conferences in Malaysia and the UK.
In 2017, Dr Kathryn completed a dental implants course to extend her scope of practice.
For Dr Kathryn, it’s rewarding to build relationships with patients and their families that grow and evolve over the years. She considers it a privilege to be entrusted with patient care, and when she delivers the result and outcome desired, it is like no other feeling.
