An Intergrative Approach to Health and Aesthetics
Dr Lindsay believes that the mouth and face are a window into whole-body health. When properly trained, examination of oral structures can reveal much about a person’s general wellbeing, and she is passionate about optimising function, airway health, and facial development for long-term wellness and longevity.
Her fascination with the science of faces and their beauty started in childhood, and she has spent years studying facial structures, balance, and aesthetics. With advanced training from the Australian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics, she helps clients achieve natural, harmonious facial rejuvenation and enhanced dental aesthetics.
Why I Do What I Do
“I love dentistry, functional health, and facial rejuvenation because they are a perfect blend of art, science, medicine, beauty, and mathematics- all my favourite things. Seeing the positive impact my treatments have on a person’s confidence and wellbeing is incredibly rewarding. Knowing that my work can improve both long-term health and self-esteem is a privilege. My goal is to help every client become the best version of themselves.”
Life Beyond Faces
Outside of her practice, Dr Lindsay enjoys spending time with her two sons and two dogs, staying active, and embracing her creative passions. She is an accomplished singer, musician, writer, and performer in local musical theatre productions. Her talents also extend to theatrical mask-making, bespoke cake artistry, theatrical prop creation, and makeup design—often playing a the role as a key makeup artist and coordinator for theatre productions.
Dr Lindsay is also a sought-after consultant and speaker at dental conferences, where she shares her expertise on oral health, aesthetics, customer service, space creation and functional wellness.
At the heart of everything she does is a deep desire to help people feel healthy, confident, and empowered in their appearance and wellbeing.
