OUR DENTISTS


Graham Hawkins  BDS (USyd)

PRINCIPAL

Graham graduated from Sydney University in 1984. As an undergraduate he was awarded the pre-clinical operative dentistry award for 1st in his year and the University of Sydney Dental Alumni award for excellence in operative dentistry.


After graduation Graham worked at Westmead Hospital for 2 years where he spent much of his time in Paediatric Dentistry. There he realised the merits of non-extraction orthopaedic orthodontics.


After leaving the hospital Graham went into Private Practice at Castle Hill and St Clair. In 1998 he opened Inform Dental in Penrith and has owned and managed the practice since.


Graham has been active in non-extraction orthopaedic orthodontics since 1987 and is a member of the International Orthodontic Association. He has undertaken many courses over the years, with an understanding that maintaining teeth rather than extraction to align teeth would provide more aesthetic and symmetrical faces and maintain airways as there is a strong craniofacial pain association with airway problems and Facial Growth.


Graham has also been active in the treatment of jaw pain, headaches and sleep disordered breathing for 20 years and has undertaken advanced courses in all these areas. He is an active Board member of the Australian chapter of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain who are regularly engaged in educational programmes for craniofacial pain and sleep disordered breathing, conducting yearly scientific symposiums and workshops in these areas.


Graham continues to undertake education programmes to further his knowledge of the latest advances in dental medicine in order to provide patients with the best possible care. He has completed advanced training in cosmetic dentistry and dental implants and provides treatment in these areas.


Anna Vuong BSc (UQ), BDSc (USyd)

ASSOCIATE

Anna attained her dental qualification from the University of Sydney in 2010. She enjoys practicing all facets of dentistry with the aim of providing optimal dental care to her patients. Anna believes in empowering her patients with education and knowledge regarding their own dental care.

Anna is committed to the highest standard of treatment for her patients and regularly attends courses to further her knowledge on various aspects of dentistry in order to achieve excellence.

Away from the dental practice Anna enjoys cycling, swimming and cooking.

Dr Glen Robinson
ASSOCIATE

Glen graduated in 1989 from the University of Sydney and began to practice as an associate in Sydney’s inner west.


In 1991 he purchased his surgery in Glenbrook from Dr David Miller. For 22 years the Glenbrook community has benefited from the high standard of treatment this skilled practitioner has provided in the friendly and caring environment of his Practice.


Glen sold his business and is pleased to have joined Dr Graham Hawkins at Inform Dental in 2013 and is excited about the prospect of integrating his skills with the established talents of Dr Hawkins to provide a friendly dental experience.


Outside of the surgery Glen is an avid outdoorsman, adventurer, woodworker and family man with two wonderful daughters.


Dr Trevor Baret

BDS ; PGDipClinOrth; GradDipClinDent

(Dental Sleep Medicine)


ASSOCIATE

Dr Baret has had a distinguished career working in all areas of dentistry, but focusing on the related fields of Early Growth and Development of the Face and Upper Airway, Dentofacial Orthopaedics and Orthodontics, Sleep Disordered Breathing and Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD).


In 1981, he was a foundation member of the Australian Society for Occlusal Studies. During the following years, while treating many TMD patients and Orthodontic patients, he recognised the need for Orofacial Orthopaedic treatment in the treatment of TMD and Occlusal disorders, so in 1985, Dr Baret and three of his colleagues founded the Australasian Association of Orofacial Orthopaedics. This group of advanced dentists works to educate dentists to help the facial structure develop to its greatest potential, improving the structure and function of the upper airway, as well as the jaws, TMJs and oral and facial muscles.


Since then, he has been a foundation member of the Australian Chapter of the American Equilibration Society, a member of the International Association for Orthodontics, and a foundation member of the Australian Chapter of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. Dr Baret is an active member of the Australian Sleep Association, the Sleep Health Foundation, the Australian Association of Orofacial Myology, and a long term member and educator for the Australasian Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.


He has served the profession and the community by serving on the council of the Australian Dental Association, teaching Doctors, Dentists and Chiropractors, and helping to expand the post-graduate education of his dental colleagues.


Outside his professional career, Dr Baret spent much of his life associated with Bronte Beach and as an active member of Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club, where he served as a Patrol Captain of the volunteer surf lifesavers for ten years. During that time he also competed for his club as a swimmer and Surf Boat rower at surf carnivals, and state and national championships around Australia.


His professional and educational work was recognised by the American Biographical Institute who listed him in the International Directory of Distinguished Leadership, and later he was listed in the International Who’s Who in Medicine, by the International Biographical Centre (Cambridge, England).



In 2018, Dr Baret earned his Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Orthodontics, and is continuing his advanced education, particularly in the areas of Dental Sleep Medicine, where has has earned his Post Graduate in Dental Sleep Medicine, and in Temporomandibular Disorders and their treatment, and in the Early Growth and Development of the face and upper airway
