Dr Yasmita studied dentistry at The University of Western Australia and then gained a wide range of experience across all aspects of dentistry working rurally in the Goldfields prior to returning to Perth. She is focused on delivering high quality dental treatment and really takes the time to understand individual patient needs and long-term goals. She also loves learning and keeps up to date with new advances in the dental field through continual professional development. Dr Yasmita endeavours to make each appointment a pleasant one for your whole family. She believes a healthy smile can light up a room and she is passionate about spreading the smile. Her super sweet nature and serene demeanour will calm you instantly. Dr Yasmita’s favourite aspects of dentistry are preventive and fixed prosthodontics (crowns reconstructing broken down and missing teeth). She likes to take the time to talk to her patients to diagnose the cause of dental issues, so she will often book in a bit longer with you to discuss preventive measures. Dr Yasmita is also great with children and has great fun introducing them to the dentist and making treatment a breeze. Giggles can often be heard from her rooms! We also offer nitrous oxide to patients who request it.

Our amazing principal dentist Dr Sherry Wong graduated from UWA in 2008. She is a country girl from Australind (20 mins north of Bunbury) so as soon as she graduated, she moved up north to Karratha to gain a wide range of experience as a country dentist. This meant that Sherry finely attuned her skills very quickly, with the ability to diagnose and treat a very broad range of dental situations. She is an expert in all fields of dentistry, but if there is one speciality she is especially good at, it’s extracting even the trickiest of teeth – and you won’t even feel a thing! Sherry also loves seeing kids for a positive dental experience because she knows that great oral health starts when you’re young. Sherry promises to be as patient, kind, and gentle as possible with your treatment, whilst completing her work at an exceptionally high standard. She is very qualified in dealing with nervous patients – we try to make the experience as comfortable as possible, and we offer nitrous oxide to patients who request it. Sherry believes that honesty and great communication are key to a good dentist–patient relationship. All aspects of treatment are explained thoroughly and without judgement. During a check or consult, all questions are welcome!

Genevieve is our big personality, she is gentle, caring and very down to Earth. She has a holistic approach to treatment, really interested in you as a whole person.

Gen is not only a lovely and bubbly person, she is a great dentist. Gen graduated with honours from UWA in 1998, receiving the Wyn Needham Memorial Prize as most outstanding student! In addition to that, she also collected prizes for the most outstanding student in clinical dentistry, preventive dentistry, oral surgery and paediatric dentistry.

You can book in with Gen on Tuesdays during school hours so best to call for her next availability.
