Meet our dentists

Dr Linda Gao

Principal Dentist

Hons BDSC. (University of Melbourne) English Mandarin, 中文 Baking Mum of Miss Ginger Dental Nerd

To be an excellent dentist means that we need to have the eyes of an artist and the hands of an engineer. I love how challenging and fulfilling my career is. I would work with the same level of enthusiasm even if I win the lotto tomorrow.

As a practitioner, I have a holistic approach and I'm dedicated to improving my patients' dental and overall wellbeing. I have a special interest in early intervention orthodontics, helping kids develop healthy airways and beautiful faces. I'm also passionate about treating TMJ dysfunction and breathing disorders, like snoring and sleep apnea.

Outside work, I am the proud mom of Miss Ginger, who I strive to set a good example for. I enjoy reading books, watching movies and spending time with my family.

Bachelor of Dentistry English Spanish, español Mum of Miss Olivia Beach walk Coffee

Hi, I am Dr. Lorena Diaz. I recently joined the wonderful team at TLC Dentistry.

I received my bachelor degree in Dentistry in Colombia in 2008 and obtained my Australian Dental Council Registration In 2015 after successfully passing all the gruesome examinations.

I am passionate about dentistry. I'm a kind, gentle dentist with the highest standard of patient care. I pride myself on the ultimate attention to my patients with dental phobias and oral health awareness in children.

When not at work I enjoy spending time with my newborn baby Olivia, going for beach walks or having a nice cup of coffee with friends.

Dr Nirmani Abeywardana

Dentist

BDSC. (Griffith University) English baking photography Netflix "Mum" of puppies - Bailey & Cooper

I am passionate about dentistry and making a difference to each and every one of my patients' lives. I enjoy meeting new people everyday and finds it amazing to see the change in perception in anxious patients that initially come to see me with so much hesitation and later on learn to love and appreciate each dental visit.

While experienced in all aspects of dentistry I have clinical interest in complete restorative dentistry (fillings, crown and bridgework), cosmetic dentistry and preventative care including patient education about oral hygiene and health effects. So as to ensure I continue to deliver quality dental care, I regularly attend professional development courses. I endeavour to work alongside Dr. Linda to provide orthodontic care to our patients so we can help grow happy, healthy children.
