Dr Adelaide Smith, BDSc
I am a passionate dentist at Northside Dental Solutions, where I've been practising since March 2022. Working here is truly my dream job! I love helping patients achieve their dental health goals, whether we're embarking on a journey to improve their oral health or maintaining it through regular check-ups.
My journey in dentistry began at Charles Sturt University. Unlike many, I actually enjoyed visiting the dentist as a child—my parents always made it a positive experience by bribing us with baked goods after each appointment! I ultimately chose dentistry because it combines my interest in science, enjoyment of working with my hands and deep love for chatting with people.
The team at Northside Dental Solutions brings joy and ease to every day, making this the best job I've ever had. The supportive environment allows me to focus on providing exceptional care to every patient.
When I'm not at the dental practice, you'll likely find me walking my small dog Gimli along the Kedron Brook or trying new restaurants and bakeries around Brisbane.
Something unique about my family is that we still meet every Monday night for dinner at my aunty's house—all aunties, uncles, cousins, current partners, babies and dogs included. It's always lively and one of the highlights of my week.
A fun fact about me is that I'm incredibly curious about everything around me—to the point where you'll find me using flight radar and vessel finder apps to identify exactly which plane is flying overhead or which boat is leaving a marina!
Dr Priyena Winterbottom, BDS Otago, MRACDS (PDS)
For me, being a Dentist at Northside Dental Solutions is about more than just clinical treatment—it's about connecting with the person behind the smile. I believe in patient-centered care, and my genuine curiosity about people and their stories makes my work feel less like a job and more like a meaningful opportunity to connect.
My journey into healthcare was inspired by my parents—a doctor and a pharmacist—who instilled in me the value of community service from a young age. While I initially intended to follow directly in their footsteps, it was during my studies at the University of Otago that I discovered my true calling in dentistry. The profession felt like the perfect fit: a hands-on, intellectually stimulating career that allows me to help others in a tangible and personal way.
Outside of work, I’m very much a homebody. I enjoy caring for my plants, tackling home chores, or visiting my parents—mainly to cuddle their two adorable Maltese Shih Tzus. As an introvert, I cherish these quiet moments to recharge, although I also love balancing them with a lively social calendar full of time with friends and family.
One unique aspect of my background is that I’ve lived in four different countries, yet I’ve never visited the country of my ethnicity. This experience has deepened my appreciation for different cultures and perspectives, and it’s shaped my commitment to listening with empathy and understanding each person’s individual story.
A fun fact about me: I love cooking without recipes—which also explains why I’m a terrible baker! Dentistry demands precision, so cooking offers me a therapeutic space to be spontaneous and creative with flavours and ingredients.
Dr Cassandra Peters, BDS
I am a passionate dentist at Northside Dental Solutions, dedicated to improving my patients' oral health knowledge and providing pain relief and comfort. Having joined the practice in 2023, I focus on helping patients improve their self-esteem through better dental health and appearance whilst creating a positive environment for all staff.
My journey in dentistry began at James Cook University, where I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery. This journey was motivated by my negative childhood experiences. Having developed anxiety about dental visits myself, I'm committed to changing this experience for others by making dental care more comfortable and accessible.
What I enjoy most about working with patients is seeing them grow more comfortable with each visit, especially those with dental anxiety. I take particular satisfaction in developing treatment plans for patients who haven't visited a dentist in a while, helping them regain confidence in their smile.
When I'm not at the dental practice, I enjoy playing field hockey and video games and reading. I'm currently learning to crochet and love spending time with my toy poodle, Evee. (Yes, I'm a Pokémon fan!).
A fun fact many people don't know about me is that I'm half Filipino and was born in the Philippines!
Dr Yohan Joo, BOralH.DSc, GDipDent
I grew up in Brisbane and moved to Gold Coast to study dentistry at Griffith University. Upon graduation, I have worked in both public and private surgeries in rural and urban areas in Queensland over the past several years.
To make your visit to the dentist as easy as possible, I am committed to taking the time to listen to your dental concerns and stories that you would like to share. I deeply resonate with Northside Dental Solutions' goal of breaking down barriers to dental care, and I aim to do everything I can to ensure that my patients feel comfortable, empowered, and confident in managing their oral health.
In addition to dentistry, I am currently studying psychology that allows me to understand my patients better and communicate more effectively. I am fascinated by how human minds work and passionate about building meaningful connections with people around me.
Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with my family and friends, studying psychology, and boxing. Yohan operates his own dental services business from Northside Dental Solutions.
Dr Trent Davidson, BDSc (Hons) GradDipPsych
I am a compassionate general dentist and the proud owner of Northside Dental Solutions. Since joining our Clayfield dental practice in 2018, I have focused on making dentistry accessible and comfortable for everyone, particularly those who experience dental anxiety.
My educational journey includes a Bachelor of Dental Science with Honours from the University of Queensland and a Graduate Diploma of Psychology from the University of Adelaide. This unique combination allows me to address both the physical and emotional aspects of dental care.
I was drawn by the opportunity to work in a caring field that combines science, engineering, psychology and art. What I love most about dentistry is making the process of visiting the dentist as easy as possible.
When I'm not in the practice or mentoring fellow dentists in compassionate care techniques, I maintain an active lifestyle, running marathons and climbing the odd mountain. My morning routine includes a nutrient-packed smoothie containing my five daily serves of vegetables and two fruits—"You've got to get a head start in case the day throws you curveballs!"
My background in psychology gives me a unique perspective and the skills to help anxious patients feel comfortable during their dental visits. I'm passionate about transforming what might be a stressful experience into a positive one for my patients. I am also one of the founders of the Australian Dental Anxiety Management Society.
