With more than two decades of experience since graduating in 2001, she brings serious clinical depth to every consultation.\n\nAovana 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.\n\nIn 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.\n\n## Qualifications\n\n- Bachelor of Dental Science, University of Melbourne (2001)\n- Fellowship, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS) (2010)\n- Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry (DClinDent) in Endodontics, University of Melbourne\n- Graduate Certificate in Clinical Teaching (2019)\n- JM Booth Award, Australian and New Zealand Academy of Endodontics (2013)\n\n## Academic & Teaching\n\nAovana has been involved in endodontic education since 2011.
