Meet the Dentist
Dr Nupur Kanwar
Dr. Nupur Kanwar grew up in Melbourne before her dental journey took her further afield. She studied at Griffith University on the sunny Gold Coast, completing both a Bachelor of Oral Health and a Graduate Diploma of Dentistry, not the easiest place to stay indoors hitting the books when the beach was calling!
After graduating, she began her career on the beautiful Bribie Island before eventually moving back home. Since then, she has been caring for patients across Gippsland. With more than a decade in dentistry, she has gained wide-ranging experience in both general and cosmetic care, and is known for her gentle, patient-centred approach.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Kanwar is a young mum who enjoys spending time with her family and keeping busy with her dog. She also loves a good chat and believes in creating a relaxed, friendly environment where patients feel comfortable and at ease.
Her approach is gentle, kind, and down-to-earth. Dentistry is her craft, but family, community, and connection are what keep her grounded.
