Dr. Jonathan is very excited to join the team at Sunshine Smiles Dental. He holds a Master of Dentistry from Griffith University on the Gold Coast and has gained diverse experience working in both public and private dental clinics across rural and urban settings. Before pursuing his passion for dentistry, he studied business and biotechnology, achieving first-class honours in biochemistry.

Before embarking on his dental career, Jonathan spent several years working in the pharmaceutical industry in Osaka, Japan. His time in Japan not only allowed him to develop professionally but also gave him the opportunity to immerse himself in the language and culture. So, if you’re ever in the mood to practice your Japanese while in the dental chair, Jonathan is your go-to!

Despite his deep appreciation for Japanese cuisine and culture, Jonathan’s desire to become a healthcare professional led him back to Australia, where he pursued his dream of becoming a dentist. He is passionate about delivering exceptional dental care and takes great pride in helping patients improve their health, confidence, and quality of life.

Outside the clinic, Jonathan is an avid traveler, having explored over 30 countries, with more adventures on the horizon. He also enjoys spending time in the kitchen and considers himself a pretty decent cook. When he’s not traveling or cooking, you can find him gaming through the weekends. He’s also the proud owner of two adorable (but occasionally mischievous) Italian Greyhounds.
