She has a keen interest in cosmetic dentistry and minimal intervention dentistry, believing that prevention is much better than a cure. As a result, her main aim is for her patients to regularly attend the practice for their routine examinations and professional cleans to minimise any invasive and unnecessary painful treatment. Andrea is also trained in Invisalign and is up-to-date with the latest teeth whitening technologies. She regularly attends continuing education courses to keep her knowledge and skills as current as possible.

Dr Andrea brings her ‘gentle touch’ to all procedures, whether they be extractions or simple restorations. She prides herself on making every visit to the dentist as pain-free as possible.

In her spare time, Andrea loves to keep fit by running, surfing and yoga, and continues her work with ‘small things’ in the way of cross stitch and printmaking.
