Cameron was born and raised in Newcastle, and his wife is from the Hunter Valley. He spent the first five years after graduating working in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, before moving to Sydney. “My wife and I decided to move back to Newcastle to be closer to family, and we believe it will be a better place to raise our two boys.” Cameron has always been interested in science, health, technology and caring professions, naturally dentistry married these interests. One of the most fulfilling aspects of being a dentist for Cameron is developing long-term relationships with patients. It’s rewarding for him to see patients bring their families in and watch them grow up over time. In 2010, Dr Cameron earned a Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science and a Graduate Diploma in Dentistry from Griffith University on the Gold Coast. He regularly takes continuing education, and completed the Brener Implant Institute Master Clinician’s programme in 2017. He was invited back to assist teaching the course in 2019. He has also completed All-on-4/full arch training at the Brener Institute. Cameron regularly traveled to the USA to attend training and education at the American Academy of Implantology. He is one of the few dentist’s in the country that has been approved as a Key Opinion Leader for the Versah Implant Surgical tools and protocols. Whilst Cameron enjoy’s all aspects of dentistry, his heart’s passion lies in oral surgery, including wisdom teeth removal, dental implants and bone grafting procedures. He likes to play golf (poorly) and enjoys watching sport (he has been a Knights fan since he was a kid). Cameron is also a bit of a self-described nerd who likes board games. He also enjoys wine and cooking, but most of all, spending time with his young family and his Spoodle Frankie.
