Dr. Khushy Athwal
Beecroft’s Trusted Dentist for a Brighter Smile
Hello! I’m Dr. Khushy Athwal, a dedicated dentist with a genuine passion for helping patients achieve both optimal oral health and beautiful, confident smiles. Dentistry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, while other kids relaxed after school, I found myself in my study experimenting with makeshift dental tools, fascinated by the art and science behind a healthy smile. That early curiosity has grown into the career I love today.
Professional Journey
My early clinical years were spent on the Sunshine Coast, where I managed a wide variety of complex cases, including full mouth rehabilitations. These experiences developed my confidence across all aspects of restorative and preventative dentistry. I also have advanced skills in splint therapy for patients dealing with bruxism, clenching, and sleep apnea. And yes, working with children has always been one of my strengths and joys.
Qualifications & Holistic Approach
I have completed a Bachelors of Science and Masters in Philosophy of Medicine before starting the Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2015 at The University of Sydney. During this time I undertook research in Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) under Dr Greg Murray from the Orofacial Pain Department. This sparked a strong interest in TMJ dysfunction and orofacial pain, an area I continued to pursue while working with TMJ specialists Dr Anthony Au and Dr Stephen Stratis.
I also committed to continuous learning, completing further training in:
- Endodontics
- Sleep medicine
- Bruxism and splint therapy
I am currently completing further qualifications in Implant Dentistry at university of Sydney, allowing me to deliver comprehensive cosmetic and restorative treatment options for my patients.
To me, dentistry is a unique blend of art, science, and genuine human connection. It’s how an engineer approaches design, how an artist approaches creativity, and how a scientist approaches innovation. With this philosophy, I’ve worked abroad, volunteered in underserved communities, and stayed immersed in global dental trends to better serve my patients.
Community Connection
Giving back has always been important to me. Whether it’s volunteering at dental clinics, participating in children’s health programs, or raising awareness about TMJ disorders, I’m passionate about using my skills to make a positive difference within the community.
Interests & Hobbies
When I’m not treating patients, you’ll likely find me outdoors or on the move. I’m a competitive and social hockey player, and I also enjoy basketball and tennis. I love hiking and discovering new places. I’m also a lifelong learner, podcasts and videos on psychology, neuroscience, and human behaviour are my go-to sources of inspiration.
