Charmaine is a hardworking, perfectionist that is passionate about cosmetic and paediatric dentistry. She also developed a great interest in Facial Aesthetics and completed her Botox and Dermal Filler course in 2014.
She strongly believes that kids' first impressions of a dentist will have a lifelong impact. Making this a positive experience will go a long way.
She loves spending time with her husband and 3 daughters, and, if possible, mountain biking, running, camping and hiking in the great outdoors.
