Dr Nathan Barnes
Dr Barnes is our token Gen Y technical expert and dentist. He is the young, fun, fit, technically savvy and across the latest techniques in the dental industry (oh ... and who we call upon when we need to back up the computers). Dr Barnes is also one of our senior dentists and is an owner of the business. So you are in very good hands today!
Dr Barnes knew he wanted to be a dentist when he was half his size. Fascinated in small white things he conducted his first extraction on himself at 7 years of age.
Having completed his degree at University of Queensland, he has perfected his skills in general dentistry with minimal discomfort, and has a passion for cosmetic treatments. His particular interests include Invisalign (the art of straightening teeth without the use of braces), whitening, crowns, bridges, veneers, and implant-retained restorations.
"Nothing is more professionally satisfying than seeing a patient's eyes light up when they see their new smile for the first time", says Dr Barnes.
Prior to working at Rochedale Dental, Dr Barnes spent a few years working for rural dental practices at Miles and Dalby. This helped him develop a great relationship with a diverse clientele base. However he missed his favourite local coffee shop (he is a born and bred Logan City local)and designer clothes shops (he is a savvy dresser and we jest him in the Practice's lunch room as he is up to date with the latest fashions and reads through all the popular magazines).
Have we mentioned he is a health nut? Dr Barnes enjoys running but now spends more time keeping up with his two young children, or even taking them to the gym. Many of his clients are sportspeople including triathletes, cyclists, and football players. He is involved in sports and the fitness industry.
A member of the Australian Dental Association, and a member of the International Team for Implantology, Dr Barnes is a perfect choice as your dental Practitioner. He is dynamic, incredibly astute and has huge attention to detail. He will make sure that the treatment you receive is first rate and you are thrilled with the results.
Dr Barnes treats patients in the following:
- General Dentistry
- Cosmetic Improvements
- Invisalign - the most advanced method of tooth straightening without the need for braces
- Sports-relevant dentistry
