Merrimac

I have worked in the dental Arena since 1983 graduating as a Dental Therapist allowing me to treat school-age children within the education system throughout Brisbane, Toowoomba, and Gladstone.

In 2003 I furthered my education and graduated from the University of Queensland with a dual qualification in Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy. I love treating all age groups in a team environment and to provide individualised oral hygiene care and treatment to all my patients.

Amar is an experienced dentist who loves his job. He is dedicated to provide long lasting solutions to his patients in a compassionate and un-rushed environment.

Since graduating in 2006, Amar has attended numerous professional development courses which has allowed him to incorporate advanced dental treatments like wisdom teeth removal, CEREC, Invisalign and dental implant surgery. In October 2019, he completed a Masters degree in Dental Implants at Griffith University.

For Amar one of the most rewarding aspects of being a dentist is establishing long-term connections and trust with patients.

In his spare time, you will find Amar competing at local tennis tournaments or exploring the beautiful hinterland around Gold Coast.

Growing up in Brisbane it was natural for me to attend the University of Queensland. I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science, in 1993, and received a scholarship with Queensland Health. This allowed me to see life in different areas of Northern Queensland.

After moving into a private practice in Cairns, I joined Carrara Dental practice in 1995, which is now known by National Dental Care, Merrimac.

I am currently an associate dentist with a main focus on providing excellent general dentistry.

I graduated in 1989 in Adelaide with an Associate Diploma in Dental Hygiene. Over my career, I have practiced in South Australia, Victoria and Queensland, both in general and specialist practices. I am very passionate about my work and love what I do. I have a special interest in nervous patients ranging from the very young to the very old, and I work hard to make them feel at ease by presenting a relaxed and friendly approach to dentistry.

I also enjoy brightening smiles with stain removal and whitening treatments. I love introducing children to the world of dental hygiene, making it a fun experience and not the daunting experience many of us remember.

Dr Tamsin Perry grew up in Northern Ireland and after finishing high school, moved to the Gold Coast to study dentistry. She graduated from Griffith University in 2012 and has been working in private practice ever since.

Dr Perry is passionate about making people smile, she is experienced in smile make-overs and transformations, which she achieves using a combination of treatments such as veneers, crowns, Zoom whitening and Invisalign.

Dr Tamsin is also experienced in all aspects of general dentistry, and will provide this with an air of both kindness and professionalism. She tells us she was brought up being taught a job is worth doing, it was worth doing well, and applies this mantra to all aspects of her life. This extends to the care she provides to all of her patients which is always comprehensive and thorough.

Outside of the dental surgery Dr Tamsin is an avid AFL player, as well as having a passion for humanitarian work.
