Dr Girish Basavaraj, BDS, a seasoned dentist with a rich heritage in dentistry, is at the helm of Aurora Smile. As the Dentist, he brings a wealth of experience and a dedication to excellence in oral healthcare.
A graduate of the esteemed Bapuji Dental College and Hospital, India, in 2001, Dr Basavaraj furthered his education with a Master’s in Pediatric Dentistry in 2005. His journey continued as a senior lecturer in a private dental school in India before earning his General Dentist licensure in Australia through the Australian Dental Council Exams (ADC) in 2007.
With a legacy of over 50 years of dental expertise passed down through three generations, Dr Basavaraj has consistently pursued excellence. He has augmented his professional skills through continuous education in cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, clear aligners, and private practice management.
Dr Basavaraj’s commitment to staying at the forefront of dental innovation is evident in his hands-on Implant certification from Brenner Implant Institute, Sydney, in 2011. He is also certified in laser dentistry and holds accreditation for clear aligner orthodontic treatment.
A proud member of the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry (ASID), The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), and The Implant Prosthetic Section of the ICOI, Dr Basavaraj is currently pursuing a PG Cert for Dental Implantology under the Cambridge Academy of Dental Implantology in London.
Beyond his impressive professional credentials, Dr Basavaraj believes in forging lasting relationships with his patients and their families. His passion for his work shines through as he takes immense pride in helping patients smile with confidence. At Aurora Smile, Dr Girish Basavaraj leads a team dedicated to bringing joy and confidence to every smile.
Dr Andie Malawkin was born in Brisbane but grew up in Northern NSW. She moved back to Brisbane to study at The University of Queensland, where she first graduated a Bachelor of Health Sciences, and then Dentistry (with Class I Honours).
Dr Andie is passionate about all things general dentistry. She aims to create positive and comfortable experiences, with a strong focus on educating and empowering patients.
Outside of dentistry, you’ll find Dr Andie throwing pottery in her home studio, watching sports (she’s a big Arsenal fan), or out with her German Shorthaired Pointer!
