About Michaela da Silva (Oral Health Therapist)
Michaela looks after the preventive side of your care:
check-ups and cleans, gum health, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants, and teeth whitening. She works alongside Dr Patricia on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Her clinical experience spans private practice and public outreach across Australia and New Zealand, which has given her a broad view of what keeps teeth healthy over a lifetime, and what tends to go wrong when regular care slips. She brings that to every appointment: not just treating what she finds, but explaining it clearly, so you leave knowing what’s happening in your mouth and what you can do about it.
Patients notice her warm, unhurried manner first. If you’re anxious about the dentist, or it’s been a while since your last visit, Michaela is a good place to start.
