Meet Dr Kumi

Why did you pick a career in dentistry?

I was always interested in making a direct impact on people’s lives with the career I pursued. After doing some work experience and seeing the nature of the job, I began my journey into dentistry. It is a great blend of healthcare, surgery, art, and science.

What area of dentistry excites you?

Oral surgery excites me the most because of the importance of anatomy and fine motor skills, but all elements of general dentistry can prove challenging and hence I will always aim to be an all-rounder.

Favourite part of working at D+G?

The impact we can make for our community holds enormous potential and the possibilities are limitless. Our vision was to create a calm, inviting surgery with a fantastic team culture centred around patient comfort. The local community is very charming. Every day at D+G is exciting!

What do you like to do when you're not working?

When I’m not working I like to be out exploring with my wife and our labradors, watching/playing rugby or sitting by the beach.

Meet Dr Eshana

Why did you pick a career in dentistry?

I was always interested in science and anatomy and wanted to do something  that helped the community in an immediate way. Also having spent a lot of time in the dental chair as a kid, makes me empathetic to the patient experience and I knew I could hopefully return the favour. 

What area of dentistry excites you?

I really enjoy oral surgery, particularly a challenging surgical extraction! However I do like the range in general dentistry, as well as being able to establish long-term relationships with my patients. 

Favourite part of working at D+G?

Setting up our own practice was an absolute dream project and a professional goal we have been working towards. So everything from designing the aesthetic of our brand, meeting the lovely Wyee locals to working with our passionate and dedicated team!

What do you like to do when you're not working?

Spending time with family as well as our labradors, and taking them to the beach. I am also impartial to a new brunch spot.

Meet Dr Naz

Why did you pick a career in dentistry?

The connection between oral health and overall well-being has always fascinated me. This, combined with my passion for healthcare, problem-solving, anatomy and hands on clinical work, led me to pursue dentistry.

What area of dentistry excites you?

Dentistry as a whole is incredibly exciting for me. If I had to choose, I especially look forward to a well-planned oral surgery or fixed prosthodontics case with some cosmetic elements. I love the challenge of complex cases that require meticulous planning, problem solving and precision. The goal is to restore function and aesthetics whilst making a real impact on my patient's quality of life.

Favourite part of working at D+G?

I'm very fortunate to work with a warm, funny and supportive team that makes coming into work each day exciting. We collaborate seamlessly, tackling challenging cases together and ensuring the best outcomes for our patients. I also love being part of the vibrant coastal community, which makes both work and life just that bit more enjoyable.

What do you like to do when you're not working?

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, whether it's exploring new food spots, shopping, or enjoying the outdoors. Ialso enjoy swimming and discovering new walking or hiking tracts. Travelling is another big time passion of mine!
