Dr Rachael grew up in Melbourne and completed her Bachelor of Health Sciences in Dentistry/Master of Dentistry at La Trobe University in Bendigo. Since completing her degree, she has moved back to her home city. Rachael started her dental career working at the community dental clinic in Ballarat where she completed placement for university while also working privately. She has been involved in community outreach programs, performing screening and dental care in kinders, aged care homes and assisted living accommodation. Rachael’s favourite aspect of dentistry is getting to know her patients and helping them to achieve their oral health goals. She sees her patients as more than just teeth in a mouth and loves being able to build the trust that is crucial to a successful dentist-patient relationship. Rachael is particularly interested in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Outside of the clinic, Rachael is an avid soccer player and plays competitively every week. She is also a typical Melburnian who loves going out for brunch and is always open to new cafe/restaurant recommendations!
