With over two decades of experience in crafting healthy stunning smiles, Dr Riaan brings considerable skill, insight, and care to every patient interaction.

After earning his Bachelor of Dental Surgery, he practised general family dentistry before pursuing his specialist qualifications. Dr Riaan completed a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry (Orthodontics) at the University of Sydney - a highly competitive program - where he was honoured with the ASO NSW Award for Best Treated Case, reflecting his commitment to clinical excellence and detail.

He also holds postgraduate training in Interceptive Orthodontics, enabling him to support children's dental development from an early age.

Today, Dr Riaan continues to mentor and lecture postgraduate orthodontic students at the University of Sydney and serves as President of the Manly Warringah Dental Study Group. His professional contributions, community reputation, and patient-first values form the backbone of the practice.

His ongoing role as a university educator and active involvement in the profession reflect a commitment to staying at the forefront of orthodontic advancements.

Personalised, Patient-First Approach

We take time to explain every step (you'll never feel rushed) of your orthodontic journey, empowering you to make confident, informed decisions. From your first consultation, you'll be treated with the utmost respect, care, and clinical attention that's focused on your goals.

Fully recognising that many people feel nervous about visiting any healthcare practice, our team creates a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, so even anxious patients feel welcome and well looked after.

Transparent Pricing and Flexible Plans

While some surprises are good, others like financial ones - well, not so much. We believe great care should also be clear and accessible. Here's what you can expect as a patient:

• No hidden costs: You'll receive a written quote with itemised health fund codes.
• Flexible options: We offer in-house interest-free payment plans and family discounts to make your investment manageable.
