Dr Yohann Sooltangos

Dentist - GDip DentSc

Dr Yohann graduated from Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2017 with a Graduate Diploma in Dental Sciences and had been working in private practice Port Macquarie before moving home to Brisbane and joining out team.

He  understands that seeing a dentist can sometimes be a bit daunting so his primary focus is making sure his patients always feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.  He believes that dentistry is continually evolving and improving so he aims to stay up to date with new techniques that are faster, more efficient and more gentle to provide the best treatment for his patients.

He enjoys all the different fields of dentistry, including preventative and cosmetic work but he has a particular interest in implants and prosthodontic work (dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers).

Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his young family, swimming, soccer and food.
