Dr Franck Page & Dentistry

After both of Dr Franck Page's older siblings followed a medical career, he decided to do something different… and became a dentist. He realised early on he had a great aptitude for the work and quickly built his own practice.

Dentistry is practiced all around the world and often relies on the clinician “tinkering” with a problem they are faced with. No teeth are alike, and no smile is the same. This means every patient is unique. For this reason, Dr Page believes dentistry creates exciting challenges and rewarding moments of success.

The outcome Franck hopes to achieve with his patients varies. It can be as simple as a thank you in form of “Vinaka Dr Franck” from his Fijian patients to tears of joy from someone who hasn’t been able to smile for years. He looks forward to going to work on Mondays and loves sharing these experiences with his wonderful staff members.
