Celehte started her career in dentistry over 17 years ago and worked for her first 6 years to complete, with honours, an additional qualification of Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry. As is typical of her inquisitive nature and thirst for knowledge, her passion to further enhance her joy and skill in dentistry took her to a private practice in London. Celehte’s personal interests run deep and by far her greatest passion is Scuba diving. Being a qualified Divemaster, Rescue diver, Technical and Cave diver, she could be mistaken for a fish. For the past 8 years she has a running column as the “Diving Dentist” in their magazine, Tanked up (formerly the London Diver) and is their ‘go-to’ person for consulting with patients who contact the dive chamber on all things tooth / diving related, an area known as Barodontology. Celehte has also acted as lead clinician and mentor to establish and grow a private practice in Australia. Her clinical skill, depth of knowledge and care for her patients, combined with her warm personality quickly spread amongst the community and the practice successfully established itself within a short period of time. Patients remark on Celehte to be professional, warm, knowledgeable, thorough, perfectionist, easy to communicate with, very good at putting patients’ fears at rest, reassuring and friendly! In London she worked within a multidisciplinary team alongside another dentist, hygienist and Specialists in the fields of Orthodontics (braces), Periodontics (dealing with gum disease) and Implantology (replacement of missing teeth with titanium dental implants). Combining in-house training with an array of hands-on and continuing professional development courses, she worked alongside these world leaders in their fields; she honed her skills and enhanced her knowledge in these disciplines.
