For patients across Port Macquarie, Laurieton and the wider Hastings region, the team at Wauchope Dental is led by someone who has spent his entire working life around dentistry. Dr David has been a practising dentist for over 10 years, and before that he spent close to 10 years as a dental assistant. That depth of experience shapes the culture, the values and the standard of care patients feel from the moment they walk in.
A Career Built on Learning From the Best
Two Decades in Dentistry
Few dentists arrive at the chair after a decade of dental assisting. Dr David did, and he credits those years with teaching him how the very best clinicians work, and just as importantly, how he never wants himself or his team to operate. It is a perspective that runs through every part of the practice.
A Podcaster and Lifelong Student
Dr David is so passionate about dentistry that he hosts his own podcast, interviewing leading specialists and general dentists from across the country. The conversations have shaped his clinical thinking and reinforced the values that guide the practice today: integrity, connection, patient centred decisions, and giving back.
Special Interest in Implants and Rehabilitation
Dr David is currently completing a diploma in implants, an extended long form qualification chosen deliberately to ensure the work is done well, done right, and done once. He has a particular passion for full smile rehabilitation through our SmileRenew process, helping patients restore chewing function, comfort and confidence with phased, considered care. For many patients, this includes dental implants as part of a longer journey.
Care That Is Genuinely Connected
What patients often mention in their reviews is not the technology or the surgery itself. It is the way they feel looked after. That is no accident. The team and the values are an extension of Dr David’s own, refined over two decades of watching, learning and leading.
