Meet The Team

Dr Mohamed Omar graduated from university in 2000, before completing a one-year accredited residency in Oral Surgery (Chair University) and passing the Royal College exams to become a member of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh). He then moved with his family to Newcastle in 2007.

Dr Mohamed has a wealth of experience in general dentistry and became a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 2012. Mohamed enjoys different aspects of dentistry and believes your clinician should always keep up to date with the latest techniques. As such, he has two Postgraduate Diplomas; Dental Implants from Sydney University and Orthodontics from James Cook University.

Outside of his practice, Mohamed enjoys playing soccer and spending time with his family, often at one of Newcastle’s beaches.

Dr Jo is a Newcastle local and Merewether High School graduate who completed her BDS at the University of Adelaide. Whilst there she was invited to develop educational modules for the University’s prosthodontics program analysing various dental materials. Jo has also completed her Primary Dental Examinations granting her membership of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons. She is a member of the Australian Dental Association and previous committee member of the Newcastle Branch. She worked on the Mid North Coast before returning to Newcastle to run her practice from Maven Dental Newcastle.

Jo is a firm believer in a preventative approach to dentistry and is willing to spend time with her patients to equip them with the skills and knowledge to maintain their oral health throughout their lifetime. She is gentle and patient and being a mum of two she is also great with kids. Jo provides the whole spectrum of general dentistry and has additional post graduate training in Invisalign and Sleep Dentistry. She works with local sleep physicians including her husband to provide dental solutions for sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea, nocturnal bruxism and snoring.

Outside of work, Jo enjoys walking her dog Momo, hiking and getting her hands dirty in her vegie patch. You may run into her at a local playground, shopping centre or beach while she keeps her two young kids entertained, fed and largely out of trouble.
