Dr Cameron White is originally from Newcastle, NSW. After completing high school in Sydney, he earned a place at Griffith University, Gold Coast, to study dentistry.

During training, Dr White worked in the Gold Coast, as well as rural towns, such as Brewarrina in central NSW and indigenous health clinics in Brisbane. He completed his Graduate Diploma in Dentistry, receiving an academic award for a distinction average.

Dr White returned to his home town of Newcastle in 2010, working across the Hunter Valley mining areas and Newcastle in private general practice.

In 2014, he undertook a year-long Implant Dentistry mentoring programme in the Hunter Valley, travelled to America several times for further training with the American Association of Implant Dentistry and in 2017 completed the highly regarded Brener Implant Institute Master Clinician's Programme. He remains passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest in dental technology and techniques (case in point...).

In early 2015, Dr White relished the opportunity to join Bupa Dental, a leading international health care company, and is thrilled to be looking after the Hornsby community.

Dr White is a self-described geek, scuba diver, terrible golfer and coffee addict.
