Dr Karen believes dentistry is an important aspect of healthcare and wants to make a difference by helping patients to keep their teeth healthier for longer. Dr Karen has a calm and gentle manner which helps ensure all her patients have a positive dental experience. Advances in materials over the last 25 years mean silver amalgam fillings and metal crowns are no longer necessary. This allows the use of tooth-coloured restorative materials to provide natural-looking restorations and to replace missing teeth.
Dr Karen loves running and has two very active children. As a family, they love discovering what the Sunshine Coast has to offer; however, her favourite activity is taking her stand-up paddleboard out at Cotton Tree. Dr Karen recommends regular check-ups as they are important for the health of your teeth and gums.
