Get to Know Us
Eden, Dental Hygienist
Eden brings her expertise and warm personality to our dental hygiene team, where she dedicates herself to helping patients achieve their best possible oral health outcomes.
Her path to becoming a dental hygienist was shaped by her own positive experiences in the dental chair, having spent five years with braces. Her natural interest in biology, combined with her passion for patient education and interaction, made dental hygiene the perfect career choice
Education and Experience
Eden graduated in 2021 with her Diploma in Dental Hygiene from the prestigious Dublin Dental University & Hospital at Trinity College Dublin.
Before specialising as a dental hygienist, Eden worked as a dental nurse, developing invaluable patient management skills, a deep understanding of the high standards required in dental care, and an appreciation for effective teamwork in the dental setting; all of which laid the groundwork for her patient-centred approach.
For Eden, the most fulfilling aspect of dental hygiene is witnessing the transformation in her patients’ oral health journey. Eden believes that prevention is the cornerstone of successful dental care, and she finds great satisfaction in helping patients achieve their dental health goals, especially those with complex cases requiring extra attention.
Outside the Practice
Outside the practice Eden embraces an active lifestyle in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. She’s training for a 10k trail run in Manly, having already completed her first half marathon. As a member of the Bondi Gaels GAA football club, she enjoys team sports and community involvement. Eden’s next adventure? She’s planning to take up surfing lessons at Bronte Beach, adding another exciting dimension to her coastal lifestyle.

In 2008, Fran graduated from university in Chile with a degree in Business and Administration. She also possesses a Certificate III and IV in Marketing. Her experience includes five years in marketing in Chile, and five years in dental reception in Australia.
For Fran, the most rewarding aspect of her job is seeing patients’ smiles transform through orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry.
