Dr Priyanthie Shanmugalingam

Dr Priya Shanmugalingam brings over 20 years of experience as a general dentist to our practice. Her passion for dentistry merges science, engineering, and art to craft healthy, functional, and beautiful smiles. Dr Shanmugalingam has built a strong reputation in rural communities through her dedication to long-term oral health and meaningful patient relationships. Her approach emphasises holistic care, focusing on comprehensive treatment planning rather than short-term cosmetic fixes. She believes in managing patients’ overall health and well-being, rather than being driven by specific procedures. Her experience spans busy country towns like Townsville, and Dubbo, where the scarcity of specialists has honed her skills in handling complex cases, including sports injuries, cancer diagnosis, and rare oral conditions.
