Bupa Dental - Paddington Wheelchair access / Accessible entry Bupa Dental Paddington is your one-stop dental clinic. Our team has experience in a wide range of general and cosmetic dental treatments, so we can recommend the most suitable treatments to help you and your family maintain good oral health. If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, we also offer dental sedation to help you relax.

We've been working in our community for 30 years, and we treat our patients like family. When you visit us for the first time, we'll give you a warm welcome and answer any questions you have. We'll ask you to complete a new patient form so you can tell us about your dental or medical history, any medications you're taking and anything else your dentist should know.

Your full oral health assessment may include x-rays and digital images of your mouth, which help us to get the full picture of your oral health. After your examination, we'll clean and polish your teeth to remove plaque and apply fluoride to help strengthen your teeth against bacteria and decay.

If we think you could benefit from a dental treatment to correct or prevent an oral health problem, or if you want a cosmetic treatment such as laser teeth whitening, we'll discuss all the options with you so you can make an informed choice. We'll then develop your personalised treatment plan.

If it's been over six months since your last check-up or you've had a dental emergency, get in touch with Bupa Dental Paddington today. We're open from Monday to Friday, with free on-site parking.

Open Saturday by appointment only.

Meet our staff Dr Niels Kirsten was born and raised in Townsville. In 2010, he graduated in Bachelor Nursing Science at James Cook University and worked in rural communities in far North Queensland as a registered nurse. Dr Kirsten went on to study Bachelor of Dental Surgery at JCU, following in his father’s footsteps as a dentist.



Growing up in a dental practice and observing his father, Niels had developed a strong interest in dentistry early in life. Since graduating as a dentist in 2015, Dr Niels has completed his Graduate Diploma in Implantology.



Outside of work Dr Niels enjoys spending quality time with his son and catching up with his family.
Shimal qualified in 2010 at Kings College, London, and emigrated to Australia in 2015. Whilst here Shimal has continued to develop her interests in surgical and restorative dental treatment under general anaesthetic, as well as restorative implant treatment and complex extractions.

She is a loyal and committed person who has a true passion for dentistry. Shimal aims to create a fantastic rapport with patients whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. Shimal is always keen to learn from others and continuously strives to acquire new skills and loves being a well-involved member of the Bupa Dental team.

Shimal is a very sociable person and enjoys taking part in a variety of leisure activities, mostly eating out! Since moving to Australia, she has played for a local soccer club and has been learning how to water-ski, wakeboard and surf. Shimal enjoys snow skiing and swimming but also likes to relax by reading and baking. She has also acquired her boat and jet ski licence.
Dr Zachary Taylor began his professional career working as a registered pharmacist, after completing a Bachelor of Pharmacy from Queensland University of Technology. Left wanting a more personalised relationship with his patients he perused a career in dentistry. Dr Taylor moved to regional NSW after being offered a position to undertake a Bachelor of Dental Science at Charles Sturt University.

While Dr Taylor has a large base of patients whom he looks after for general dentistry, he has a passion for cosmetic dentistry. He is committed to staying up to date with the best dental practices and invests in continuing education allowing him to stay at the forefront of new techniques and technologies.

Away from the dental clinic, Dr Taylor spends his time with family and friends, talking life, love, sports and politics.
Having worked as a dentist for over 20 years, Dr Christine Cheah has extensive experience in the areas of surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth, implant surgery restorations and crowns.



Growing up Christine was afraid of dentists and had absolutely no idea of the importance of oral health. It’s for this reason she chose dentistry, to truly make a difference to people like herself. With her calming and gentle nature, she always aims to prioritise the comfort of her patients.



In her spare time, she has a range of interests including snorkelling and diving, playing guitar, and trying out the latest cafes in the neighbourhood.
While growing up, Dr Fiona Ma always had positive experiences at the dentist. This inspired her to pursue a career in dentistry, so she could help others love their dental visits just as much as she did. Today, Fiona offers services in both English and Cantonese, and is particularly passionate about orthodontics, veneers and crowns.



Fiona loves seeing the profound impact dentistry can have on someone’s lives, whether through improvements to self-confidence or oral health. Caring and gentle by nature, she’s great with anxious patients, and works to create a safe environment to help patients feel respected and valued in her care. She listens to her patients openly and with genuine empathy, and tailors treatments based on each individual’s goals, concerns and unique needs.



Fiona’s a huge foodie, so when she’s not working, she spends plenty of time discovering new cuisines and restaurants with her loved ones.
Since she was little, Dr Ashleigh Pham always loved helping others and dreamed of working in healthcare, so it’s no surprise dentistry was a great fit for her. While volunteering in rural Vietnam, she found renewed inspiration in witnessing how dentistry can improve lives. Helping others continues to be Ashleigh’s favourite part of being a dentist, and she’s particularly passionate about children’s dentistry, orthodontics and endodontics (root canals).



Ashleigh makes it her priority to create a supportive, judgment-free zone for all patients. Gentle and empathetic by nature, she strives to help children and anxious patients of all ages feel at ease during their appointments. Ashleigh finds joy in motivating others, and loves helping patients envision and achieve a future with healthier teeth.



When she’s not looking into people’s mouths, Ashleigh enjoys going on long hikes just as much as she enjoys unwinding in front of the piano. With her natural curiosity, she gets excited by professional development opportunities, and works hard to bring her best self to her patients.
