Dr Sarah Benton

Sarah is originally from Perth Western Australia where she completed her undergraduate dental degree with honours in 2008. In her 3rd year of dental school, Sarah made a somewhat spontaneous decision to join the Navy, where she completed her last two years of university. She enjoyed her time in the Navy so much that she went on to complete 10 very happy years in the service, experiencing wonderful opportunities to work all over Australia and on ships overseas.

In 2016 Sarah attained her Fellowship in General Dentistry with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. In 2017 Sarah and her husband Dean, 2 dogs and 2 horses moved to live on the Gold Coast where she completed her specialist training in periodontics at the University of Queensland. Sarah is the secretary for the Queensland branch of the Australian Society of Periodontology. Sarah research thesis was on the effect of Vaping on Oral Health and inflammation. What Sarah enjoys most about Perio is that it is not only technically challenging, but that unlike many specialist areas, we are able to build long term relationships with our patients.

On the weekends you will probably find Sarah out at a local dressage or eventing competition, rock-climbing, or enjoying our beaches.
