Tatiana graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Health Sciences from the University of Otago (NZ). In 2008, she earned a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and later pursued a Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry in Periodontics. During her time in university, she was the recipient of multiple awards for clinical and academic excellence.

She has published numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals and has written several book reviews. She is passionate about continuing education and regularly attends a wide range of courses both domestically and internationally.

Tatiana is a reviewer for the New Zealand Dental Journal and a Review Editor for Frontiers, a member of the Australian Dental Association Queensland advisory panel, and former vice president of the Australian Society of Periodontology Queensland. She is a member of the International Team of Implantology, Australian Dental Association, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, and the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Periodontists, and a fellow of the International College of Continuing Dental Education.

Her involvement in clinical research and continuing education ensures she stays up-to-date on the latest advancements in periodontology and implantology. She is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment (surgical and non-surgical) of periodontal, peri-implant and mucogingival conditions, as well as in bone and soft tissue grafting.

“I love helping patients to regain their confidence by restoring the aesthetics and function of their teeth through periodontal/implant treatment. Seeing patients overcome their fears and being able to create a positive dental experience is incredibly rewarding.”

When she’s not working, studying or mentoring, Tatiana enjoys spending time with family, reading, pilates, and traveling.
