Dr Maryam Ghafournia - Paediatric Dental Specialist
As an overseas-trained Paediatric Dental Specialist with a wealth of experience in both public and private practice, I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages since my graduation in 2009 in Iran.
Throughout my career, I’ve combined clinical practice with teaching roles at the university level, which has allowed me to share my knowledge and passion for Paediatric Dentistry.
After relocating to Australia in 2019, I began working as an AHPRA registered General Dentist on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, before receiving my AHPRA registration as a Specialist Paediatric Dentist in 2024.
I am excited to return to my true passion caring for children’s dental needs and look forward to providing expert, compassionate care to young patients in this vibrant community.
