He has since joined the Thorne Dental Team and brings over 14 years of experience and knowledge to the practice.
Dr Den practiced general dentistry for three years before training as an Orthodontist in Nepal. During this time, he practiced as a dental surgeon in government and private sectors across Nepal, attended several continuing education seminars and conferences and strived to deliver the highest level of care to his patients, ensuring to put a smile on their faces during and after each appointment.
His quest to seek further knowledge led Dr Den to pursue a Master of Dental Surgery (Orthodontics) in China, graduating in 2017. His passion for dentistry and teaching led him to train and mentor dental students and dentists domestically in Nepal and internationally in countries including India, Poland and Switzerland.
He soon after made the move from Nepal to Australia where he worked in patient care within several dental surgeries in Sydney and Armidale. During this time Dr Den was also dedicated to studying for the Australian Dental Council exam so his qualification as a dentist could be recognised in Australia. In 2021 Dr Den became a registered general dentist with AHPRA in Australia.
Dr Den has a kind and caring demeanour and is fuelled by patient satisfaction. He takes a holistic approach to his work and believes that prevention is better than cure. His extensive experience combined with his clinical knowledge, allows Dr Den to offer exception dental care in all aspects of dentistry. From minor surgical procedures including wisdom teeth extractions, painless root canals, dental emergencies and managing patients with complex medical problems to improving aesthetics and restoring function with cosmetic treatments including dentures, teeth whitening, crowns, bridges, and veneers.
He has a passion for modern dentistry and believes his job as a dentist is a combination of three professions; a doctor, an engineer and an artist.
Above all, Dr Den loves getting to know each of his patients and building long lasting relationships. “I enjoy helping people by either to get them out of pain, or help them improve their smile” he says.
Outside of the practice Dr Den lives an active lifestyle with his wife and young son! They enjoy playing instruments including the guitar and piano, traveling, and watching movies together. Dr Den also enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking for his family, reading inspirational books and practicing yoga.
