Specialist Orthodontic Care for All Ages at Pacific Smiles Dental Penrith
With nearly two decades of experience in orthodontics and a deep commitment to patient-centred care, Dr. Vanessa Jimenez is proud to serve the community at Pacific Smiles Dental Penrith. As a Specialist Orthodontist, she brings a wealth of expertise, a warm and approachable style, and a genuine passion for transforming smiles—no matter the age or stage.
A Career Built on Expertise
Dr. Jimenez began her journey in dentistry in 2003, graduating from dental school in 2004, before completing her specialist orthodontic training at the University of Sydney, graduating as a Specialist Orthodontist in 2011. Since then, she has dedicated her career to delivering high-quality, tailored orthodontic care with a focus on function, aesthetics, and patient comfort.
Orthodontics for Children, Teens, and Adults
Dr. Jimenez treats a wide range of orthodontic concerns across all age groups—from early intervention in younger children, to more complex cases for teens and adults, including aligners, braces, and surgical orthodontic cases. She is passionate about providing personalised treatment plans that prioritise long-term results, functionality, and patient confidence.
Fluent, Friendly, and Community-Focused
Speaking both English and Spanish, Dr. Jimenez values her role in connecting with Penrith’s diverse community. She chose to practise at Pacific Smiles Dental Penrith because of its inclusive, patient-focused atmosphere and the opportunity to support families and individuals with outstanding orthodontic care close to home.
Life Beyond the Practice
Away from the dental chair, Dr. Jimenez enjoys soaking up the sun at the beach, solving puzzles, and spending quality time with her family over a good board game.
Why She Loves Orthodontics
“My favourite part of being an orthodontist is witnessing the transformation—not just in my patients’ smiles, but in their confidence and how they carry themselves. It’s incredibly fulfilling to play a part in that journey.”
Her Top Tip for a Healthy Smile
“Use the correct brushing technique, replace your toothbrush every three months, and make sure your child sees an orthodontist around age 7–8. Early intervention can make a big difference!”
