Ms Ellie Vatandoust

DEN0001222225 – Registered Dental Hygienist, General Registration | Oral Health Therapist & Dental Hygienist | BOH, Master Oral Health NewCastle

Ellie has been an integral part of our dental team for more than a decade, bringing warmth, professionalism, and dedication to every patient she treats. Her career in dentistry began in 2000, when she was awarded a dental nursing scholarship. This early introduction to the field ignited her passion for oral health and patient care, setting the foundation for a career that has spanned over two decades.

Ellie spent seven rewarding years at Westmead Oral Health Centre, where she worked as a surgical assistant in maxillofacial and implant procedures. During this time, she gained invaluable experience in advanced surgical care and developed a deep appreciation for the life-changing impact dentistry can have on patients. While she greatly valued this work, Ellie felt drawn to prevention and early intervention — helping patients maintain their oral health before complex treatments became necessary. She went on to qualify as both a Dental Hygienist and Oral Health Therapist, and later completed a master’s degree in Oral Health at the University of Newcastle, further strengthening her expertise in evidence-based preventive care and comprehensive patient management.

Over the years, Ellie has worked in diverse clinical settings across Australia. She dedicated four years to serving patients in Tasmania, as well as on Christmas Island and the Cocos Islands, experiences which gave her unique insight into the oral health challenges faced by different communities and reinforced her commitment to accessible, high-quality care.

Today, Ellie is deeply committed to preventive and periodontal care, children’s dentistry, and patient education. She has a special interest in tailoring oral health strategies to individual lifestyles and needs, empowering patients to take charge of their long-term wellbeing. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, gentle touch, and compassionate manner, Ellie has built lasting relationships with patients who trust her not only for her clinical expertise but also for her genuine care and encouragement.
Outside of dentistry, Ellie enjoys spending quality time with her family, keeping active through regular exercise, and immersing herself in Sydney’s vibrant food and cultural scene.
