About Dr Aovana Timmerman

Dr Aovana Timmerman is a registered Specialist Endodontist at Smile Solutions, Melbourne's home of dentistry, practising from the Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street. With more than two decades of experience since graduating in 2001, she brings serious clinical depth to every consultation.

Aovana completed her Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Melbourne in 2001, then her Fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS) in 2010, followed by a Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry (DClinDent) in Endodontics, also from the University of Melbourne. Her training is thorough, and her clinical work is grounded in current evidence throughout.

In 2013, Aovana received the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Endodontics JM Booth Award, which included attendance at the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) Congress in Turkey. Her early career included delivering specialist endodontic services at Melbourne Dental Clinic, Plenty Valley Community Clinic, and the Endodontic Specialist Unit at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne, as part of her specialist training through to 2016.

Academic & Teaching

Aovana has been involved in endodontic education since 2011. In 2019 she completed a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching, and she now works as a clinical demonstrator for the Doctor of Dental Surgery Endodontic program at the University of Melbourne. She also examines dentists in the Membership (GDP) program for both RACDS and the Australian Dental Council. Her ongoing involvement in teaching and assessment means she stays close to current clinical standards - which benefits her patients directly.

Research & Publications
