Your dental care is in safe hands

Anthony grew up in the Penrith area, attending school at Nepean High where he was captain of the school rugby league and basketball teams. He studied at the University of Sydney, graduating as the top Honours student in Dentistry in 1977. After working in advanced restorative practices in the Sydney CBD for a few years, Anthony returned to Penrith to open this practice in 1981.

Anthony has always been committed to providing the highest standard of clinical dentistry, with an emphasis on ethical patient care. In recognition of his excellence in dental practice, in 1999 Anthony was invited to become a fellow of both the International College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. Fellowship in either of these societies is an honour bestowed upon a respected dentist by the international dental community.

Anthony regularly attends continuing education courses, particularly in the fields of Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry, to satisfy his passion for excellence.

Born and raised in Sydney, Rebecca completed the Bachelor of Dentistry (with the award of Honours) at the University of Sydney in 2008. Before this, she also completed a Bachelor of Medical Science at the University of Sydney in 2004, majoring in neurophysiology and pharmacology. Rebecca has been with our practice since early 2011.

Rebecca has a caring and gentle approach to providing dental treatment, and is excellent with children. She places a strong emphasis on prevention, and is particularly interested in minor Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics (crowns and bridges) and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Rebecca regularly attends professional courses, lectures and conferences regarding the latest techniques and research in dentistry — in particular, courses on bridges, crowns, Endodontics (root canal therapy), and implants.

Michael grew up in Vancouver, Canada, where he completed his Bachelor of Science at the University of British Columbia. The search for adventure led him to Australia, where he graduated from Dentistry at the University of Western Australia. Michael has finally found his home in Sydney, and has been with our practice since 2007.

While he is proficient in all areas of general dentistry, he has particular interests in Endodontics (root canal therapy) and minor Oral Surgery. However, despite all the wonderful ways of repairing and replacing teeth, Michael still feels that prevention and minimal intervention are the best ways of preserving a life-long healthy and natural smile.

Michael always strives to keep current with continuing education courses, and regularly attends professional courses in Implant Therapy, Endodontics, and Advanced Restorative Dentistry. Since 2014, Michael has maintained an appointment as an Honorary Clinical Educator at the University of Sydney Faculty of Dentistry.

Having grown up in Sydney, Harj completed a Bachelor of Science majoring in Neuroscience from the University of New South Wales. She then went on to complete a Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Sydney in 2018.

Harj worked in the Maitland and Port Stephans area before joining the practice and continuing to provide gentle and comprehensive dental care. She continues to learn and grow her skill set by regularly attending dental courses and has a keen interest in children’s dentistry, endodontics (root canal therapy) and aesthetic dentistry. Her calm attentive chair side manner makes her approachable for any dental questions you may have.

Outside of dentistry Harj enjoys cooking new recipes, catching up with family and friends and enjoying the Sydney’s beautiful nature walks and beaches.
