Meet The Team
Dr Fadi Yassmin
Dr Fadi Yassmin is one of Australia’s preeminent cosmetic and restorative dentists who routinely undertakes large restorative cases involving full arch rehabilitation and complex smile correction utilising the latest cutting-edge digital technologies. He is the Official spokesperson for the ADA NSW on topics related to cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening and is regularly featured in the media.
His quest to ensure his patients receive outstanding functional and aesthetic outcomes has led Dr Yassmin to complete education, accreditation and training from numerous institutions and world class clinicians globally.
His interest and experience in implant dentistry spans over 20 years and includes completing the gIDE program in Implantology from UCLA in 2010. He went on to open the first All-on-4 plus clinic in New South Wales that includes one of the only purpose-built general anaesthetic facilities in Sydney.
Later, he completed his Masters in Dental Aesthetics from the prestigious Kings College, London where the most up-to-date cosmetic dental techniques are used to create smile makeovers that work in harmony with facial structure.
Subsequent to this, Dr Yassmin became a proponent of Digital Smile Design (DSD), the system pioneered by Dr Christian Coachman that digitally supports the visualisation, treatment planning and clinical delivery of smile modifications. He is an official DSD lecturer and instructor.
He also completed a Graduate Diploma in Orthodontics from the London School of Medicine and regularly attends continuing education and post graduate courses both in Australia and overseas.
Dr Yassmin is an early adopter of burgeoning technologies that promote more accurate, predictable and ideal outcomes for his patients. We are lucky enough to have Dr Yassmin at Smile On Canberra, featuring state-of-the-art technology and treatments designed to provide each patient with a comfortable and relaxing experience.
Dr Yassmin is a KOL for several dental companies including Straumann, DSD, ASIGA, Nexus iOS and Dental Monitoring and lectures nationally and internationally in areas including cosmetic dentistry, full arch rehabilitation and Digital Smile Design.
Dr Amelia Judson
During her schooling days, Dr Amelia made the decision to embark on a path towards becoming a Dentist. In discovering the world of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, she believed that this area represents the perfect blend of science, engineering, medicine, and art whilst providing a means to enrich a person’s smile and to unveil the best version of one’s self to the world.
Dr Amelia is a firm believer in the research which states that key foundational psychosocial judgments and assumptions are made based on a new person’s facial appearance within the first 7 seconds of meeting. This is precisely why she is passionate about her profession, as she recognises the impact a beautiful smile can have on a person’s confidence, including in other aspects and opportunities in a person’s life, career opportunities included.
Dr Amelia has developed extensive knowledge and understanding of digital dentistry in cosmetic and implant dentistry and collaborates locally and internationally with inventors and designers of many of the software solutions and protocols she uses day to day.
Her expertise was recognised in 2022 when she was recognised as the youngest Digital Smile Design (DSD) Master in the world.
