Amanda Devanand

“I wanted to help people, and my interest in health and sciences led me to become an Oral Health Therapist. Growing up, I’ve always loved going to my dental practice, although I became aware this wasn’t the case for everyone, I then wanted to actively put in that extra effort to make dental visits positive.”

In her role at Restore Dental Studio, Amanda finds it rewarding to provide a positive dental experience for patients. To prepare for her career as a Biological OHT, Amanda earned a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Adelaide and completing her biological dentistry course through IAOMT in 2024. She specialises in seeing children for preventative and restorative treatment, ranging from exams, extractions and fillings. Also having completed her postgraduation in adult scope, Amanda now is able to see adults for their maintenance exams and simple restorative treatment.  To stay updated of the latest in the field, she regularly takes courses run by several dental societies. These include the ADA, ADOHTA, DHAA and IAOMT. Most recently, Amanda gained further knowledge in Myomunchee and TMD and orofacial pain, preparing to extend her knowledge in Orofacial myology.

“I have a genuine passion and interest in the science of dentistry, which is forever growing and changing. Taking a more holistic and biological has given me a greater appreciation of the connection between oral health and general health. I love keeping up to date and learning what is new, allowing me to continuously provide the highest quality of care for my patients.”

Amanda loves to interact with people and make their dental experience as positive and motivating as possible. “It’s truly rewarding to see patients improve and maintain good oral health, and to know I have contributed to their confident smiles.”

Outside of work, Amanda loves spending time with her family and friends, travelling, and exploring different culinary and creative experiences.
