Dr Antony Benedetto
Dentist
I obtained a Bachelor of Medical Science and a Bachelor of Dentistry from the University of Sydney, pursuing further dental study by doing an implant course in Cambodia and through an exchange program in Japan. I have been practicing as a dentist for over a decade, working in Tamworth, Taree, and the Central Coast area.
I chose dentistry as a career because I have a deep care for people, and a love of working with my hands. I thoroughly enjoy solving dental problems for people, and my honesty and competence is reflected in the great connection I form with my patients.
In my spare time, I pursue my interest in cars and aquariums.

Her focus is providing preventative oral health care tailored to each individual patient by truly taking the time to build rapport and educate on the importance of oral health care.
Ashleigh is a highly creative and problem-solving person. She always aims to achieve the best results and does this by managing tasks from different angles using critical thinking, "an advantage of being a left-handed person in a right-handed world".

Dr Gilbert Burgess
Lead Dentist
I completed a Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Sydney in 1983, and have been practicing dentistry ever since.
I chose dentistry as a career path because of how much I enjoy working with and caring for people—helping them achieve beautiful smiles! I love all areas of dentistry, and am enjoying my current practice and the focus I can give to my patients. My patients commend me on my care and efficiency, and I have a particular skill in cosmetics.
I like working with my hands, and my hobbies include making guitars, building sheds, and woodwork. I have devoted time to working in Indonesian orphanages, and have previously volunteered in multiple soup kitchens.
Dr Kay (Keyuan) Tian graduated from Adelaide University with First Class Honours in 2016.

Dr Kay has worked in both metropolitan and rural South Australia before returning to NSW. While working in Adelaide, she has volunteered with the National Dental Foundation and provided oral health screening sessions for the general public as well as dental education programs to local mothers.

Dr Kay believes in providing the best quality care for every patient and ensures that everyone is looked after properly and thoroughly. She is experienced in a wide range of services including preventative and restorative care, extractions, root canal therapy, crowns and bridges and dentures.
