With expertise across all fields in dentistry, Dr Yuan has spent extensive time tutoring students at the University of Adelaide. Dr Yuan also speaks Mandarin and enjoys learning new techniques.

Dr Franco Mignone

Dr Mignone is a graduate of The University of Adelaide. He was born and raised in Adelaide and has spent time travelling across the country keeping up-to-date with new dental technologies and techniques.

Dr Mignone is experienced in all areas of dentistry and enjoys focusing on helping people rejuvenate their smiles through a comprehensive range of cosmetic and functional techniques.

Dr Mignone speaks Italian and is very happy to work with patients to reduce dental anxiety and nerves when by offering sedation techniques and happy gas. Our clinic also works with qualified anesthetists to administer IV sedation.

Dr Katie Stellon

After working in Sydney and volunteering overseas, Dr Katie Stellon completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Adelaide. Dr Stellon’s passion for helping people via dentistry has been apparent from the beginning: she began her career in dentistry after realising that many people can’t easily access the dental care they need. She began supporting organisations who address this issue, realising that helping just one person restore their smile can make a world of difference for that individual.

Dr Stellon is especially interested in sleep dentistry, cosmetic treatments and restorative care. But, most of all, she enjoys helping patients from all cultures and backgrounds stay as healthy as possible. She also enjoys the challenge of carefully tailoring oral health plans for each patient and their individual needs. She is a member of Kids International Dental Services.

Outside of work, Dr Stellon enjoys kickboxing, hiking and whipping up delicious new creations in her kitchen.

Dr Paul Park

Known among patients as a committed and friendly dentist, Dr Paul Park completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Adelaide.

While Dr Park is interested in all aspects of dentistry, he frequently works with dental restorations, prosthodontics, root canal therapy and gum disease treatment. A strong believer in continued education, Dr Park is also pursuing further training in dental implantology.

Dr Park focuses on clear, productive communication with his patients. He believes this is a vital part of building trusting, informed relationships, which in turn helps patients maintain good oral health habits. He is a member of the Australian Dental Association and Dental Protection Limited. He also speaks Korean fluently.

Outside of work, Dr Park tries to maintain a healthy work-life balance through activities like snowboarding, travelling, fitness and spending time with his family

Dr Andy Lee

After earning his qualifications from the University of Adelaide and the University of British Columbia, Dr Andy Lee began his career as a warm, patient dentist. He first became interested in dentistry after he fractured a few of his own front teeth and saw first-hand the impact dental restorations could have.

Because he enjoys providing others with the same type of help he needed at one point, Dr Lee has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and functional restorations. However, he’s well-versed in a wide range of dental care.

Dr Lee is a big believer in ensuring patients are informed about their oral health as well as their treatment options. He enjoys helping anxious patients relax (and maybe even laugh a bit). He is a member of the Australian Dental Association.

Besides caring for others’ smiles, Dr Lee is also a fan of basketball, tennis and discovering new gadgets.

Sam cites her relationships with patients as one of her favourite parts of working in dentistry.

In her free time, you’re most likely to find Sam getting some exercise at the gym or hanging out with her family in Mount Gambier.
