Dr Andrei Milhailescu
Lead Dentist
I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, and graduated in 2004 from Oregon Health and Science University with extensive practice in aesthetic dentistry, reconstructive dentistry, medically compromised patient’s and geriatric dentistry.
My honest and compassionate care, commitment to understanding the latest in dental technology, and uncompromising pursuit of quality has given me an outstanding reputation within the community I served. Throughout my career I also volunteered with Medical teams internationally to provide necessary dental services to under-served populations.
In 2019 I moved with my family to the beautiful New England NSW which they are enjoying very much. Outside of dentistry, I devote my personal time to enjoying the beautiful Australia and my wife and three daughters. My active family is fond of hiking, biking, camping, horseback riding, gardening and leading a healthy lifestyle.
Carol Chambers
Oral Health Therapist
I have been working as a Dental Therapist since 1980, and have enjoyed every part. I worked in the Hunter New England Area Health Service and Aboriginal Medical Service in Armidale, before joining the National Dental Care team in 2008.
Since then, I have flourished in my role as their Dental Therapist and am heavily involved in the treatment of early orthodontic intervention. I am highly trained in the specialty of Oral Facial Myology, and have been seeing amazing results with my unique and gentle treatments. I really enjoy managing children’s fears of dentistry and successfully turning them into happy cooperative patients.
I love my sports, especially when my daughter and son play. I also love to read, but spending time with my family is definitely my favourite hobby!
Dr. Ed Montgomery enjoys all aspects of general dentistry. He spends his days commuting to Inverell from Glen Innes where he ran his own dental practice there for 25 years. With the objective of slowing down, he says “I sold it last year to give myself time to ‘wake up and smell the coffee’, spend more time with family, farm and bicycle.” “I spent the first 25 years of my life in England, so I am grateful for the Aussie sunshine.”
On a personal note, Dr. Ed says he has enjoyed providing dental services overseas to those who are in need, “I have done aid work in Laos and Kiribati, and my wife says that’s what inspires me most.”
As well as enjoying life as a dentist, Dr. Ed is very family-orientated. He says, “my wife Deanna is a fifth-generation grazier from Pinkett who loves horses. I have two grown-up boys living in Brisbane and a blonde energetic primary school-aged daughter.”

Oral Health Therapist
I strive to bring education to being the first step in caring for oral health. Focusing on hygiene and therapy, my goal is to approach care in an interactive way to find a tailored solution to each individuals hygiene routine.
I was born and raised in Coonabarabran, and love moving to new places for opportunities. I previously lived in the Wagga Wagga area, and I enjoy moving around.
Aside from work, I enjoy playing and creating music, travelling to bakeries, and Star Wars.
