Get to Know Us
Dr Harmanpreet Chahal, Dentist
Dr Chahal was drawn to dentistry because it combines art and science in a way that allows her to help people. She’s passionate about improving people’s smiles and believes a smile has its own language that allows us to say more than we can with words alone.
Beyond the artistry involved in dental work, Dr Chahal loves performing surgical procedures and making the dental experience comfortable and low-stress for her patients.
Dr Chahal received her dental education and training in India, graduating in 2014. She has been a practising dentist since then and is a member of the Australian Dental Association and the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons. She will be pursuing advanced education in orthodontics and implants in the near future.
Dr Fatima Ishfaq, General Dentist
From a young age, Dr Ishfaq was inspired to pursue dentistry after a memorable visit to the dentist as a child. She was struck not only by the care and kindness shown to her, but also by the calm and welcoming environment of the clinic. That experience stayed with her, and as Dr Ishfaq grew older, she developed a strong interest in healthcare and helping others.
“Dentistry offered the perfect combination of science, hands-on work, and personal interaction, all within a setting that had once made such a positive impression on me. That early inspiration ultimately guided me towards choosing this rewarding profession.”
Dr Ishfaq graduated in 2009 with her bachelor’s degree in Dentistry and MPhil in Community Dentistry. She continues to grow professionally through ongoing education, with a particular interest in fixed prosthodontics. Her commitment to professional development helps her provide up-to-date, high-quality care for every patient.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to build trust with patients, see their progress over time, and know that I’ve played a role in improving not just their dental health, but their overall wellbeing.”
When Dr Ishfaq isn’t caring for patients’ smiles, she enjoys baking, cycling, and watercolouring.
