Dentist all smiles
as he makes move
After 35 years working in
the same surgery, Newport
dentist Anthony Hooper
has moved to modern premises
on the other side of the
street… well, Barrenjoey
Road actually.
A graduate from Sydney
University, Dr Hooper worked
on the central coast and in
London before settling in
Newport in 1983.
“During the past 30 years
there have been enormous
changes in some areas of
dentistry, especially with
computer records, scanning
technology and excellent
advances in resin/ceramic
restorative techniques,” Dr
Hooper said.
But some things stay the
same, such as the importance
of regular check-ups
and continuity of care.
“I still enjoy the hands-on
aspect of being a dentist
whether it’s providing routine
dental care and maintenance
through to more complex cosmetic
cases,” Dr Hooper said.
“I especially get great satisfaction
of being part of the
community, treating generations
of families over long
periods of time and helping
them achieve excellent dental
outcomes.
“I look forward to providing
ongoing dental care for
years to come.”
Dr Hooper previously
worked out of premises
above Larx on the corner of
Bramley Ave and Barrenjoey
Road.
“I am very excited about
joining Dr Helen Tang’s
highly motivated, well-trained
and friendly team in a new
modern environment,” Dr
Hooper said.
“Newport Medical Dental
also has the added bonus of
being on the ground floor,
with no steps.” – LO
