Book with National Dental Care, South Terrace

I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2008. Since then, I have furthered my studies by taking various Continuing Professional Development Courses, including training in Resin bonding veneers, Anti-wrinkle injections and Dermal Fillers.I worked in a general dental practice in Melbourne, Victoria before moving to Adelaide. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients with an extensive range of oral health care needs. I enjoy all areas of general dentistry with preventative and minimally invasive approach to help patients achieve and maintain their oral health. I find Resin bonding veneers smile make over very enjoyable. My aim is to listen to my patient’s concerns carefully and offer them all possible options to achieve their goals.Furthermore, my interest in cosmetic facial procedures led to further training within the field of non-surgical cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers. I love achieving results that appear natural.I am a member of Australian Dental Association (ADA) and Australasian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics (AADFA) trained dentist.Outside of dentistry, I enjoy reading, cycling, travelling, painting, playing violin, fashion, styling and spending time with my family and friends. Coming from my Persian background, I speak Farsi fluently.

I graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1972 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, and since then have furthered my education by taking various other educational courses in dentistry. From 1972-1975, I gained experience in Goodwood and Glenside, before pursuing work in Maidenhead, England. I returned to Australia in 1978, where I worked again at Goodwood until moving to South Terrace Dental in 1992, where I have worked ever since.I have always been interested in science, and originally applied to study Agricultural Science, however as fate would have it I was offered a place in Dentistry, which I accepted. I most enjoy working in reconstructive and rehabilitative dentistry. It involves a multi-disciplinary approach and the patients appreciate the careful planning and rebuilding of their smiles. I thoroughly enjoy the people with whom I work with and the people for whom I care. I work hard to be an empathetic dentist and supportive provider of care. The majority of my patients are referrals from other patients and have been with for many, many years.Currently, I am a member of the International College of Dentistry and the Australian Dental Association, Director of the Seattle Study Club, and Australasian Chairperson and International Trustee of the Pierre Fauchard Academy.I am the first dental graduate to begin their education at correspondence school (for remote students), and I am heavily involved in Postgraduate education in many forms. In my spare time, I pursue my interests of farming, golfing, and I attend events with my 6 children and 5 grandchildren. I also devote time to my farm, where I raise prime lambs.I devote time to being a member of the Dental Outreach program for the homeless, Chair of a new body to fund a charity clinic in Adelaide, mentoring Indigenous Health Science students and was the past Chair of Parkside Primary School in Adelaide, which I still keep tabs on.

Dr Jasper Lee came into dentistry later in life, after receiving some life changing level of dental care after a major cycling accident. He moved to Adelaide to retrain as a dentist completing his studies in 2019, and loved it so much he stayed! He has furthered his dental education and experience working in private practice and at the Adelaide Dental Hospital. Jasper has the most current evidence-based practice and is passionate about general clinical practice and emergency care and is passionate about creating healthy smiles for life. His focus areas include dental sleep medicine and being an autistic friendly dental practitioner. Outside of work, he is busy with a young family, productive vege garden and cycling to work and the local area. He is passionate about sustainability. He is currently on the federal advisory working group with Australian Dental Association, with the aim of moving the profession to a low carbon, zero waste and sustainable future.

I graduated from the Gilles Plains College at TAFE SA with an Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene. Since then, I have also obtained a Certificate in Local Anaesthetics, and a Certificate in Temporary Restorations. In my career, I have worked at Unley Park Dental Clinic, Plympton Dental Clinic, Dr Melinda Barva’s Orthodontics and have tutored and lectured at Gilles Plains TAFE.I was a rare dental patient growing up—I always loved going to the dentist to have my teeth done! This inspired me to work in dentistry as an adult. As a hygienist I am interested in all aspects of oral health. I enjoy doing Invisalign work in particular. Currently, I am enjoying being part of such a great team of people to work with. I work hard to provide a friendly yet thorough experience for my patients, and give every treatment 100%.In my spare time, I attend RPM classes at the gym, and spend time with my 2 young children and husband.
