After completing his Bachelor of Dental Science at Charles Sturt University in Orange Chris decided to call Canberra home.  

​

Chris enjoys all aspects of general dentistry with a particular enthusiasm for implant surgery. Chris diligently pursues ongoing education through numerous professional courses. Noteworthy among his pursuits is his engagement in the Post Graduate Diploma in Oral Implantology from the Cambridge Academy of Dental Implantology.  He also invests in international training opportunities, having trained under the guidance of Prof. Sohn at the World Academy of Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Bone Surgery. His commitment to professional development is further evidenced by his active membership in both the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and the International Team of Implantology (ITI).

 

He takes pride in fostering trust and establishing rapport, especially with patients who may experience dental anxiety, endeavoring to facilitate their comfort within the dental environment. Renowned for his adeptness in transforming appointments with children into engaging and enjoyable experiences, Chris ensures positive dental outcomes from an early age.

When not in the surgery you will find Chris on the golf course, cycling or cheering on his mighty St George Dragons.

As the owner and principal dentist at Higgins Dental Chris and the team look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
