Born in Greece and brought up in Brazil, Maria chose to pursue a career in the dental profession as a way to help people achieve their goals related to overall health and well-being. Dr. Maria did not start out as a holistic dentist but her early experiences in traditional dentistry left her wanting to find a better way to treat patients with more of a focus on the whole person, continuously searching for the latest advancements, least invasive procedures, and most natural resources available.
In order to achieve an outstanding approach, she takes into account a number of factors: your overall health; your oral health; the latest developments in traditional dentistry; and the most current information on scientifically substantiated natural health and dental practices.
She believes that every patient is unique and understands that everyone has different needs and expectations. When it comes to kids, she believes that every child should be treated as family and strives to ensure that every visit is a positive one, through her fun-loving demeanour.
She completed her Bachelor in Dental Science in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2000 and has a special interest in prevention and family practice.
In 2011, Maria and her two beautiful boys immigrated to Australia, where she has been enjoying simple things in life like spending time with her family and the rejuvenating feeling of having a stroll by the beach.
