Dr. Twisha Sharma
Dentist
Dr Twisha is a passionate general dentist with a postgrad in Endodontics, originally from India and now proudly calling Australia home. Since arriving in 2018 and starting practice in 2021, she’s been on a powerful journey of unlearning, relearning, and levelling up — both professionally and personally.
Once a self-confessed introvert, Dr Twisha now finds deep joy in connecting with patients, cracking jokes chairside, and helping nervous patients become confident regulars. She’s especially proud of helping a woman who hadn’t seen a dentist in 20+ years become a consistent and comfortable visitor — a true testament to her heart-led care.
Root canals are her jam, and she’s on a mission to relieve pain, save teeth, and save our patients a trip to the specialist — all with skill, compassion, and a smile. She’s also currently pursuing further postgrad studies to expand her scope and keep providing top-tier care.
Outside of the clinic, Twisha is all about care, culture, and coffee. She starts and ends her day with gratitude, and lives for soulful music, peaceful evenings.
She shares life with her IT-wiz hubby and their fur baby, Pepper 
— and we can’t wait to hear more stories over coffee (or a cheeky chai).
Marco Cestari
Marco is an Oral Health Therapist who is passionate about helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident in their oral health journey. He is deeply committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and takes pride in creating a calm and supportive environment for every person he treats.

He takes the time to explain treatment options clearly and at a pace that suits each patient, empowering them to understand not just what is happening, but why it matters. He places strong emphasis on prevention and education, helping patients build simple daily habits that lead to long-term oral health success.
One of the most rewarding aspects of Marco’s work is supporting patients who feel anxious or uncertain about dental treatment. Seeing patients leave their appointment feeling heard, at ease, and more confident about their dental care is what drives him every day.
Outside of the clinic, Marco enjoys staying active through running and walking, and he has a strong interest in continuous learning and self-improvement. He lives by the philosophy that consistency and small improvements lead to meaningful, lasting results — a mindset that strongly reflects his approach to both patient care and professional growth.

Taylor Wright
Oral Health Therapist
With a warm smile and a caramel iced latte in hand, Taylor Wright brings heart, humour, and a whole lot of passion to her role as an Oral Health Therapist at Everwell Dental.
After six years working as a dental nurse, Taylor followed her dream and graduated from Curtin University as an Oral Health Therapist. Now, she’s living that dream every day—supporting patients of all ages on their journey to better oral health. She has a special gift for easing nerves and making each appointment feel personal, comfortable, and even enjoyable (yes, really!).
Whether it’s working with patients who are a little anxious or tailoring care to suit unique needs, Taylor takes pride in building trust and making people feel seen and heard. Behind the scenes, she’s a creative soul—into arts and crafts, karaoke, and once even sang in a band!
Her go-to mantra? “Be kind always—you never know what battles people are facing.”
It’s this kindness, combined with her talent and dedication, that makes Taylor such a treasured part of the Everwell Dental team.
Olivia Bond
Treatment Coordinator
Meet Olivia, one of the warm and welcoming faces that make Everwell Dental feel like home. With a background far from dentistry and a past in competitive dance, Olivia brings grace, energy, and heart to everything she does.
What she loves most? Watching patients’ confidence grow as they journey through their treatment. Olivia knows firsthand what it’s like to be a nervous patient—so she’s passionate about creating a calm, reassuring space for others. From her caramel latte mornings (even if she’s not quite a morning person!) to catching up with patients during follow-ups, Olivia’s warmth and sincerity shine through.
Outside the clinic, Olivia’s a self-declared foodie who’s always down for trying new cuisines or soaking up the sunset on a beach walk.
Her philosophy? Do good and good will come back to you—and she lives that every day in the way she supports her team and our patients.
Lisa Proctor
Treatment Coordinator
Lisa brings warmth, wisdom, and a big heart to Everwell Dental as one of our longest-standing team members. Whether it’s a child’s first dental visit or a familiar patient she’s known for years, Lisa finds joy in every moment of the journey. Her passion lies in making people feel seen, heard, and supported—always with a welcoming smile and a calming cup of tea close by.
With a background rooted in care and a lifelong love for animals, Lisa originally aspired to be a vet, but found her true calling in the connections she builds with people each day. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her beachcombing with her daughter and dog, redecorating her home, or—if you’re lucky—performing “Hot Cross Buns” on the recorder… through her nose (yes, really!).
Her personal mantra? “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” And Lisa? She’s been dancing through it all with grace, laughter, and shortbread in hand.
Elizabeth “Liz” Smith-Jones
Lead Clinical Coordinator
Meet Liz—our Lead Clinical Coordinator, early bird, garden enthusiast, and all-around ray of sunshine at Everwell Dental.
Each day, she’s up at 5:00 a.m. (yes, by choice), beginning with morning prayers, a bit of exercise while waiting for the kettle to boil, and a lovingly packed lunch. She’s often the first to arrive—well before her rostered time—setting up the surgery, checking protocols, and prepping trays for the whole team. Why? Because she believes a smooth day starts with a calm morning and a cup of Yorkshire tea (with milk, of course).
Liz finds joy in the little things—like seeing a once-anxious patient leave the surgery with a proud smile or helping someone finally feel safe in the chair. She listens with empathy, reassures with heart, and always has time for a nervous hand to hold or a fellow DA who needs a helping hand.
If she weren’t in dentistry, Liz would be traveling the world as a flight attendant (childhood dream!), but luckily for us, the skies’ loss is Everwell’s gain. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her crocheting, gardening, or nose-deep in a book, surrounded by the quiet peace of nature. Her “hidden talent”? Being a fantastic listener and (surprisingly) dreaming of one day trying her hand at farming!
And if you’re ever in need of a pick-me-up, just ask Liz about her life mantra: “Do good deeds every day. Not everyone sees what you do, but God does. Always go the extra mile.”
It’s how she lives—and it’s why we love her so much.
Liesna Erlina
Meet Liesna – Clinical Assistant at Everwell Dental
Since moving to Australia, Everwell Dental has been my first professional home — and I couldn’t be more grateful. I studied Dental Assisting in 2019, completed my placement with Everwell, and have been part of the family ever since. As a mum to a young child, I’m especially thankful for the supportive and family-friendly environment we have here.
One of my proudest moments is seeing patients who once feared the dentist leave with big smiles — and the confidence to keep coming back for care they once avoided. My favourite way to help is by making sure every patient feels relaxed, cared for, and comfortable — while helping our dentists deliver smooth, seamless treatments.
When I’m not in scrubs, you’ll usually find me happily lost in the kitchen cooking for my family (sometimes even at 5am!) or showing off my secret dog grooming skills. My mornings start early — a quiet 4:30am coffee is my special ritual before the busy day begins.
If life had taken a different turn, I might have become a teacher’s assistant — but I’m so glad it led me to Everwell Dental instead. Every day, I live by a simple motto: “I’m not the best one, but I always try my best.” And that’s exactly the spirit I bring to every patient I meet.
Mingu Kim
Lead Dental Technician
Meet Mingu Kim, our incredibly skilled and multi-talented Lead Dental Technician, who’s been with Everwell Dental since 2016. With nearly a decade of dedication, Mingu has been behind so many of the life-changing smiles we’ve had the privilege to deliver.
Before stepping into the world of dental technology, Mingu explored cooking, sports, and the arts—ultimately finding that this role beautifully blends all his creative and technical passions. He finds true meaning in his work, especially knowing that what he creates helps restore confidence and transform lives. One of his proudest moments? Seeing the joy on a patient’s face when they received their final denture—an emotional reminder of the real impact of his craft.
Mingu’s mornings begin early with a hearty breakfast and Japanese study. And even in Korea’s -10°C winters, he’s loyal to his go-to drink: an iced long black. Fitness is part of his lifestyle—swimming, weight training, and never missing a beat since childhood. He’s also a talented singer (formerly in a school band!) and still dreams of combining his creative flair with teaching someday.
Guided by the words from Mark 9:23—“Everything is possible for one who believes”—Mingu is a quiet force of positivity and purpose. We’re so proud to have had him on this journey with us since 2016.
Logan Kent
Meet Logan Kent – Apprentice Dental Technician
Logan is our hands-on creator behind the scenes, turning skill and precision into devices that change lives. Whether he’s perfecting a splint or chasing the perfect FFFA—fit, form, function, and aesthetics—you’ll find Logan bringing passion and purpose to every case.
A proud TAFE graduate, Logan’s favourite part of dentistry is using his hands and heart to make a difference. When he’s not in the lab, you might catch him blasting rock music, 3D printing his next cool creation, or brushing up on his German (yes, he’s self-taught!).
His mornings kick off with a solid breakfast, a bit of exercise, and an iced chocolate in hand. And if you asked what he’d be doing if not for dentistry? “Probably FIFO like my dad—or something techy.” Either way, he’s right where he belongs at Everwell, living by his favourite motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
