Dental Providers at North Brisbane Dental Clinic

Dr Georgia Sheahan, BDSc, AMusA

Dentist

A dedicated mother, an accomplished pianist, and an even better dentist, Georgia has been endowed with the two most important gifts a dentist can have; an ability to put people at ease, and a love of precision. While her obsessive attention to detail often leads to eye rolls from her family, it is enthusiastically appreciated by her patients. 

Georgia has been looking after the teeth of Brisbane for just over 20 years. Giving people a smile they can be proud of could mean anything from a complete smile makeover, veneers, invisalign, braces or even just a really good cleaning, and is something Georgia still enjoys doing.

Being a perfectionist, Georgia has also travelled to the ends of the earth to learn from the best. She has completed continuing education courses in many fields but has a particular interest in orthodontics (invisalign and braces) and cosmetic dentistry.

Dr Brodie Hawker, BOralH DSc, GDipDent

Dentist

Dr Brodie Hawker graduated from Griffith University in 2012 and has been passionate about helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles ever since. She has completed hundreds of hours of professional development, with a particular interest in clear aligner orthodontics (such as Invisalign) and cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain and composite veneers. 

Brodie also has an interest in airway-focused dentistry, providing mandibular advancement splints for snoring and sleep apnoea, and screening children’s airway development to identify factors that may impact jaw growth, breathing, sleep, and overall health.

Known for her friendly and caring approach, Brodie takes the time to listen to her patients and create treatment plans tailored to their individual needs and goals. 

Outside the clinic, Brodie enjoys cooking, outdoor adventures with her family, and when her two kids brush their teeth without complaining!

Dr Louise McCallum, BDS

Dentist

Given Louise spends a large portion of her spare time clinging to the sides of mountains, and running for kilometres on end for no particular reason, we are glad she took the time to practice dentistry in Wooloowin.

Louise likes things to be exact, as you would hope, given her life probably depends on it when she is hanging from a cliff top.  This is not only a good thing for her, because she will probably live longer, but it is also a great thing for her patients, who will get the benefits of her desire for precision.

Louise used to be a Nurse, so you are in good hands if you need your vitals taken or a stern talking to for not resting when you’re told.  Once Louise decided to be a dentist she went back to University, won every academic prize under the sun and then settled in nicely with a practice on the Southside of Brisbane.  But having grown up in North Queensland, her inner magnet drew her towards the north pole and luckily, straight to all of you in the north side of Brisbane.

Dr Kirstie Malley, BDS, Dip.MJDF(RCS Eng), MCGDent

Dentist

Dr Kirstie joins us from a not so sunny Scotland! When not highland dancing in her kilt, her passion is to create beautiful, natural smiles. Devoted to developing great relationships with her patients, she works hard to ensure they feel relaxed and confident in her care. 

Committed to high quality dentistry, Kirstie went back to the books and gained her Post Graduate MJDF Diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons. In her years as a Dentist in Glasgow, she enjoyed using her skills in Conscious Sedation to help patients overcome their fears. Her other area of interest is natural enhancements. Holding a qualification in Facial Aesthetics, she loves helping patients look and feel their best!

Enthusiastic about dentistry and her own professional development, back in the UK, she worked as a tutor for FGDP Scotland, where she mentored other dentists.
Besides all things teeth, Kirstie is a dab hand with a paintbrush. When not pretending she’s Van Gogh, you’ll find her zipping around Brisbane on her bike looking for great coffee spots and patisseries.
