Our Team

Dr Robert Harper

Dr Isla Melton

I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Otago in New Zealand.

After graduation, I worked as a dental house surgeon at Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand, for one year. In this position I gained valuable experience in minor oral surgery, dental trauma and the treatment of medically -compromised patients. In 2010, I moved to Queensland and worked in a dental clinic just north of Brisbane. It was here I was able to refine my skills in general dentistry.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and keep up- to- date with all the latest research and technology by reading articles and attending courses. At the end of 2010, I completed my primary examinations with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. This is the first stage in becoming a fellow of the college.

Outside of work I like to keep fit by jogging and swimming. I enjoy socialising with friends and family and exploring Melbourne which is my favourite city.

Nicole Masters - Oral Health Practitioner

Nicole came to our practice from South Australia, where she studied Bachelor of Oral Health at the University of Adelaide. She has had 9 years experience in the dental industry and 3 years practising both hygiene and therapy.

Nicole is keen to educate patients on how they can improve their oral hygiene & guide these people through the stages of professional care, that will ensure they are able to take good care of their mouths at home. Effective at-home-care regimes; regularity of hygiene visits & ensuring comfortable, relaxing appointments are three things Nicole finds fundamental to adequate dental health.

As a dental therapist, Nicole loves caring for the oral health of children and teenagers. She considers this a rewarding role. Through her treatment, she aims to establish a safe and happy environment for regular check-ups and comfortable, hassle free visits for restorative treatment as well. Healthy smiles growing up, equals happy smiling adults!

When Nicole’s not at work she enjoys, getting outdoors, being active, Pilates & music.
