Maria dos Remedios

Maria's extensive dental experience began in 1979 in her very first job – a 'girl friday' at a large dental laboratory in Sydney. Recognising Maria’s skills and enthusiasm, her employer encouraged her to become a dental technician. In 1984 Maria completed her Certificate and spent the next two years training to become a registered dental technician.

In 1987 Maria opened her own laboratory in Hurstville, providing prosthetic services to dentists in the St George area. Deciding she would like to directly deal with patients, Maria qualified as a dental prosthetist in 1989 and opened a denture clinic at Blacktown. In January 1991 Dial-A-Denture was established at Kogarah, servicing both patients and dentists.

Maria’s love of learning and new challenges led to further qualifications as a registered dental therapist, graduating from Westmead Hospital in 2003. In 2004 she moved to Adelaide to complete studies as a registered dental hygienist.

Maria has attended numerous short courses and conferences, constantly striving to keep abreast of the ever-advancing world of dentistry.
