Hobart Dental Practice

Our founding dentist Brandon did not follow the typical path to become a dentist. In 2003, Brandon graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.Sc. in Commerce and worked for many years as a sales consultant for dental implant manufacturers in both the United States and Australia. Though Brandon immensely enjoyed the collaborative relationship with so many talented clinicians, he dreamed of treating patients himself. Already living in Melbourne, Brandon completed his dental training at the University of Melbourne. He worked for a time in both Melbourne and Tasmania before permanently relocating with his family to Launceston in 2016.

Brandon’s exposure to oral surgery and dental implants through his sales career evolved into a keen interest in surgical procedures and techniques, exodontia, and oral implantology. Brandon has heavily invested both time and financial resources to extend his training with continuing professional development courses ranging from theoretical to cadaver and live patient surgery. He has had the great fortune to observe some of the world’s most respected clinicians in live patient surgery. Brandon co-directs the local study club for the International Team for Implantology with our local periodontist. He is also the Tasmanian State representative for the Australasian Osseointegration Society. Beyond just surgery, Brandon is enthusiastic about all things dentistry, and is active in the Tasmanian Dental Association

Dentistry keeps Brandon very busy, but not as busy as his three adorable and spirited little girls, Bronte, Violet, and Harper. A myriad of sports and other activities dominate the nights and weekends for Brandon and his lovely wife Jasmin, but they still find time for lots of camping and discovery of the great outdoors. Tassie offers treasures untold for a family like Brandon’s.

Born and raised in Hobart, I met my wonderful husband of 10 years, Brendan, and together we have two beautiful daughters, Mila and Elsie. I bring over 10 years of management experience, fuelled by a passion for people, problem-solving, and supporting others to achieve their goals.

In my downtime, I love traveling and am always planning our next holiday. I enjoy bushwalking, relaxing by the beach, and making the most of family life. Weekends are spent cheering on my girls at their dance classes, playing at the park, and spending quality time with friends and family.

What drew me to Trusted Smiles was Brandon’s inspiring approach and the strong values he upholds for both his patients and the business. Being part of a team that prioritises care, connection, and excellence is an honour, and I’m proud to contribute to such a meaningful mission.

Outside the clinic, Bek is a proud wife and mum. She’s been with her husband since they were 16, and together they’re raising two energetic boys who keep life fun and fast paced. In her spare time, you will find Bek behind the steering wheel of a car, enjoying the outdoors, or making memories with her family!
