Passionate About Orthodontics, Surgery, and Smile Transformation

Internationally Trained, Locally Focused
Dr. Navas graduated from Carabobo University in Venezuela in 2005 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, followed by a Specialist Qualification in Orthodontics from El Salvador University in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2007. Since moving to Australia and completing her Australian Dental Council certification in 2012, she has been practising full-time in Sydney.
Now based in the Northern Beaches, she chose to practise in Balgowlah to serve her local community, delivering world-class dental care close to home.

A Passion for Transformative Care
Whether she’s guiding a teenager through orthodontic treatment or performing a complex surgical procedure, Dr. Navas is passionate about transforming lives through dentistry. Her favourite part of being a dentist is helping people feel confident again—both in their smile and in themselves.
She is known for her caring manner, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail, always ensuring patients feel safe, informed, and empowered in their care.
A Holistic Approach with a Personal Touch
Dr. Navas doesn’t just focus on teeth—she considers the whole patient, including facial aesthetics, jaw alignment, and long-term function. Her holistic, aesthetic-first philosophy means her work is both beautiful and built to last.
Fluent in English and Spanish, she’s also a strong advocate for patient education and frequently mentors younger dentists.
Outside the Practice
When she’s not treating patients, Dr. Navas enjoys the outdoors, sports, and singing. In fact, a fun fact about her is that she sings in a Spanish rock band and is a proud pet parent to three Pomeranians.
Dr. Adriana’s Top Tip for a Healthy Smile
“Find a good dentist and visit them every 6 months,” she says. Along with regular check-ups, she recommends brushing twice daily, flossing, and taking a proactive approach to dental and facial health.
