Sean Dawes Joins Dental Implants & Aesthetics team as an Oral Health Therapist.

Sean graduated from Griffith University in 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Oral Health in Oral Health Therapy. In 2017, he completed the Graduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice (Adult Scope) at the University of Melbourne.

Sean has worked in a private practice in Cairns between 2010 and 2014. Then, in remote government clinics in Cape York and the Torres Strait from 2014-2018 where, he managed and serviced the school dental service. He completed remote contracts between Darwin and Arnhem Land, NT, while travelling around Australia. Sean returned to private practice in Cairns 2019-21.

Sean enjoys working in dentistry because of the places he has travelled and the people he has met. Sean has a unique way of approaching people who often see the most apprehensive or anxious patients leaving with a fresh outlook on their dental health and experience.

The excitement of travelling has given Sean the opportunity to work in a vast amount of areas with many people from various cultural backgrounds, both patients and operators and the chance to work alongside and learn from some exceptional operators and specialists.

Born and raised on the Gold Coast. Left in 2009. returned in 2022. The core of Sean’s hobbies involves being outdoors, and the more remote the location, the better, so naturally, for anything to do with boating, 4WDriving and camping, you can count him in! He is an avid fisherman, however, Sean has turned more of an adventurer he loves seeing new areas and island hopping. Sean has a small family and enjoys taking his son on adventures and showing him all the things nature has to offer, from bush-walks and birdwatching to boating and fishing.
