🌟 Meet Carmen Mullen – Our New Oral Health Therapist! 🌟

We’re excited to welcome Carmen Mullen to our team! Carmen recently moved from Darwin to Cairns and brings with her over 12 years of experience in the dental industry. She completed her Bachelor of Oral Health in Rockhampton and also holds a Master of Dental Technology in Prosthetics from Griffith University, Gold Coast, giving her dual qualifications and a broad range of skills.

Carmen is available on some Wednesday late nights and selected Saturdays, making it easier for you to book an appointment at a time that suits you. She provides a wide range of services, including:
✅ Preventive dental care (check-ups, cleans, fluoride & fissure sealants)
✅ Gentle care for children
✅ Stainless steel crowns
✅ Prosthetic denture needs
✅ In-chair and take-home teeth whitening
✅ Oral health education and restorative treatments

🗣️ In her own words:
“My favourite part of being an Oral Health Therapist is working with children and helping people feel at ease, especially those who are anxious. I love to create a calm and welcoming environment where people feel comfortable and cared for. It’s very rewarding to see their smiles and confidence grow over time.”

Since moving to Cairns, Carmen has been enjoying hiking, exploring the region, and—most importantly—searching for the city’s best donuts 🍩!

We’re thrilled to have Carmen on board and know our patients will love her gentle, caring approach.

A special moment for us at Clifton Family Dental — Dr Casey Smith, our talented new dentist and JCU graduate, had the privilege of treating both her mother and grandmother right here at our clinic!

There’s something truly heartwarming about watching a young dentist care for the very people who helped shape her journey. From student to professional, and now giving back to her own family — it’s a beautiful full-circle moment. 💙

We’re proud to have Dr Casey on our team, bringing skill, compassion, and a deep sense of community to everything she does.

📍 You’ll find us at Clifton Village Shopping Centre, right next to the doctors.

🌟 Meet Dr. Casey – Your Friendly Dentist at Clifton Family Dental! 🌟

We’re excited to introduce Dr. Casey, a gentle and compassionate dentist who is passionate about delivering high-quality dental care in a warm, relaxed, and comfortable environment. With a caring approach and attention to detail, Dr. Casey helps patients of all ages feel at ease during their dental visits.

🦷 A proud graduate of James Cook University (JCU), Dr. Casey understands the needs of the local Cairns community and is committed to improving oral health outcomes across the region. She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, from preventive care and restorative treatments to cosmetic procedures that help bring out your best smile.

💬 Dr. Casey joined Clifton Family Dental in January, and since then, she has become a favourite among our patients thanks to her friendly nature, gentle hands, and genuine care. She takes the time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and ensure every patient feels comfortable and confident in their care.

🌴 Outside the clinic, she loves spending time with her friends and family, hiking through beautiful trails, soaking up the sun at the beach, and discovering hidden gem coffee spots around Cairns ☕️☀️

We’re so lucky to have Dr. Casey on our team — and we know you’ll love her too!
