Since then, she has been proudly serving the local community for over 5 years.
Dr. Jacqui has a special interest in preventive and children’s dentistry, restorative and aesthetic care, orthodontics, and digital dentistry. She also provides treatment for gum disease, wisdom teeth removal, root canal therapy, and dental care for patients with sleep apnea and special needs.
Known for her attentive listening and gentle nature, Dr. Jacqui believes in empowering patients to make informed decisions about their oral health, which she sees as closely linked to overall wellbeing. As a mum herself, she brings extra patience and understanding to every appointment – particularly when caring for children and senior patients.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Jacqui enjoys music, singing, creative writing, cooking for her family, and tending to her garden. She finds joy in folding origami and reading outback stories. She is also involved in local fundraising for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, she connects easily with a wide range of patients.
“A healthy diet low in sugar, regular brushing and flossing, and seeing your dentist twice a year – that’s the holy trinity of great oral health!”
