Dentists

Dr Cameron White BOH (Dent Sci), Grad Dip Dent

Dr Cameron White is originally from Newcastle and completed his dental degree at Griffith University, Queensland, in 2010. He graduated with an award for Academic Excellence.

His particular interests are oral surgery and implant dentistry. His implant training began in 2014 when he undertook a year-long Implant Dentistry mentoring programme while working in the Hunter Valley. Since then, Cameron has travelled to the USA multiple times for further training with the American Association of Implant Dentistry and, in 2017, completed the Brener Implant Institute Master Clinician’s Programme. He was one of the earliest adopters of the Versah Implant Surgery system in Australia, bringing back a surgery kit in his luggage after attending a lecture in New Orleans. Cameron is now certified as a Key Opinion Leader and educator with this international and advanced implant surgery system. He remains passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest in dental technology, patient care techniques, and mentoring and teaching implant dentistry.

Outside of dentistry Cameron enjoys golf and spending time with his wife, young son and his spoodle.

Dr Victor Butnejski

Dr Victor Butnejski graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with first class honours. He has presented his honours thesis in New Zealand and the Republic of Korea, garnering him international awards. He’s also shared his knowledge when tutoring dental students at the University of Adelaide and in private practice.

Dr Butnejski was the lead dentist at Bupa Dental Adelaide since its opening in November 2015. He was thrilled to move back home to Sydney permanently and join Bupa Dental Hornsby in October 2017. His calming and friendly nature has proved popular with patients at both clinics and he takes pride in providing the highest quality of dental care. In 2017, he expanded his skills in oral surgery and dental implants by completing the Brener Implant Institute Master Clinician’s Program.

Outside of work, Dr Butnejski is a keen basketball player and loves getting to a game of footy (when the Bulldogs are playing). He also enjoys hiking and exploring the great outdoors. Recent travels have taken him to the United States and Asia, but since moving home he has enjoyed more local exploits around Sydney’s northern beaches and the Ku-ring-gai national park.

Dr Shruti Saxena

Dr Shruti Saxena has a gentle and caring approach and is committed to providing healthy smiles with the highest standard of care.

Highly experienced in all aspects of modern dentistry, Dr Saxena graduated from the University of Otago, New Zealand. She worked in Auckland and Wellington before moving to Sydney with her family.

Part of her dental training required clinical attachments at the University of Witten, Germany and the Royal New Zealand Navy.

Dr Saxena has also completed community work volunteering for dental treatment camps in southern India and participating in community dental education initiatives in aged care facilities and schools in India and New Zealand.

In her spare time she loves spending time with her children, reading, cooking and developing new and exciting recipes.

Araventh Thavavaran

Ara is an outgoing, energetic and passionate dentist that loves building rapport with his patients to make each appointment a bespoke experience.

As a dentist Dr Thavavaran enjoys all facets of dentistry but has a keen interest in restorative dentistry and endodontics. He also loves helping his more nervous patients overcome their fears and enjoy a comfortable, relaxing appointment. Dr Thavavaran constantly seeks new opportunities to further his knowledge and skills in the dental industry and is currently completing a post-graduate diploma in Oral Implantology.

Away from the practice, Ara is a self-confessed sports fanatic. You’ll either find him playing tennis or sitting back, relaxing and the watching NRL or Rugby Union.
