Meet The Team

Dr. John holds a Master of Dentistry from Griffith University, graduating in 2022. Since completing his studies, he has gained valuable experience working in Cowra, NSW, and Hervey Bay, QLD, where he developed his skills in a range of dental treatments, particularly in restorative and implant dentistry.

His clinical interests focus on providing comprehensive treatment options to his patients, including replacing missing teeth and saving compromised ones. He has attended numerous implant and crown courses to stay updated with the latest techniques and offer the most advanced solutions to his patients. His commitment to continuous learning ensures that his patients receive high-quality, modern dental care.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Dr. John's job is seeing the positive impact dental treatment has on his patients. He takes great satisfaction in helping them improve their ability to eat comfortably and smile with confidence, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Outside of work, Dr. John enjoys staying active with camping and trail running. His move to Tasmania was largely inspired by the state’s renowned trail running courses, which provide the perfect environment for his outdoor pursuits.

Dr Aurora Cao is currently on maternity leave.

Dr Aurora (Yang) Cao is a talented young dentist that enjoys seeing her patients leave the practice with beautiful smiles. Dr Cao is always up for a chat and loves dentistry so much that she’ll sometimes start singing while you’re in the chair.

After first completing a Bachelor of Science majoring in Anatomy in 2013, Dr Cao graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2017 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery. She relocated to Tasmania the same year and began working in a small one-chair clinic in Deloraine.  After working in various different public and private clinics she has chosen to build her dental practice in Launceston to continue creating beautiful smiles for her patients.

Every smile is different and Dr Cao enjoys developing tailored treatment plans for all her patients. She loves being challenged as a dentist and seeing the positive changes to her patients after treatments. She is particularly interested in crowns and dentures as it combines aesthetic and technical skill to create a natural, long-lasting smile for the patient. She also loves dental technology and likes to keep up to date with the very latest trends in the industry.

Away from the practice, Dr Cao likes to keep fit and centred by practising yoga and is a keen alpine skier (she’s even a licensed instructor if you need some lessons!). Aurora also likes to relax after work by playing her ukulele.

Dr Biju Mahadev graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Mysore, India in 1997. After his initial studies, he interned J.S.S Dental College and worked within private dental practice in India. It was during this time that he found his passion for Orthodontics and went on to complete a Master of Dental Surgery at The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, India in 2004.

Over the course of his career, Dr Biju has gained extensive experience lecturing orthodontics, conducting valuable research, and working as an orthodontist and senior general practitioner at the Ministry of Health. He has also spent some time working at the Cleft lip and Palate unit at M.O.H. in Kuwait. He now brings his broad skill set and friendly smile to the team at Maven Dental Invermay.

Experienced across a wide range of dental services, Dr Biju enjoys putting a smile on his patients’ faces whether it be providing routine general dentistry or more complex treatments such as Invisalign.

Outside of his practice, Dr Biju loves spending time with his family, playing tennis and badminton, reading, and going on long drives. He also has a keen eye for photography.
