Dr Chalie is currently interested in Restorative Dentistry, which simply put is the science of restoring damaged teeth with materials that look great and lasts a long time. He enjoys interacting with people from different walks of life as everyone has a story to tell. He also enjoys the problem solving side of his job to figure out the ideal solution that is often unique to each patients individual problem.

Dr Charlie is a friendly, easy-going and respectful person. In addition, he is considerate to the needs of others, be it his patients wishes or when it’s time to buy his nurse a coffee!

Outside of work Dr Charlie enjoys travelling, fitness and going to the beach with his partner. When good waves come to the shore you can also find him in the surf!

After completing her MPH degree in Melbourne, Amrutha briefly worked in the pharmaceutical industry before returning to her dental roots. Then worked as a dentist in Mumbai from 2021 until her recent relocation to Australia.

Amrutha is passionate about delivering personalised care that changes lives. Growing up in Mumbai and studying in Australia has not only broadened her cultural understanding but also deepened her empathy for people from all walks of life. For her, being a dentist is not just about teeth - it's about understanding what makes each patient unique and tailoring my care to their individual needs.

Amrutha’s clinical interests lie in preventative dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, and restorative procedures like crowns and bridges. She is driven to promote oral health and make caring for teeth easier and more accessible for her patients, empowering them to achieve a healthier, happier smile.

She loves helping people get their smile back and takes great satisfaction in seeing the positive impact the good oral health can have on someone's life.

Outside of work, Amrutha enjoys reading and exploring new books, dancing to her favourite tunes, and spending quality time with her loved ones.
