Grant grew up in Grange and went to St. Columba’s Primary School at Wilston as a young boy. He has played soccer for Newmarket Soccer Club and Grange Thistle Soccer Club. He lives in the area and his parents still live in the house he grew up in! His memories of growing up in Grange were always going to bring him back so that he can serve this community.
He graduated from the University of Queensland in 2009 with his Bachelor of Dental Science and believed he would be able to not only fix teeth and gums, but that he would be able help to prevent oral health problems in the first place.
After 8 years of working in various private dental practices, he realised that he was fixing plenty of teeth, but not solving the problems that he thought he would. So, Jasmine (Grant’s lovely wife) and Grant established Method Dental to not only provide dental care but to prevent developing dental problems by increasing the awareness about oral health and prevention strategies.
Grant visits local schools and kindergartens to educate the kids about oral health, he is passionate about producing videos, blogs and any type of content that helps people and he’s on a mission to change the way that we view dentistry and oral health.
Meet the person who is most likely to greet you at the door or answer your phone call! Jasmine is Co-founder of Method Dental, along with Grant, as well as the Receptionist, Practice Manager and our very own in-house Pharmacist!
She has worked as a pharmacist at various pharmacies across Brisbane and Toowoomba since graduating in 2011 from the University of Queensland. As a pharmacist, Jasmine is able to help a lot of people with their health. But the environment of Method Dental offers the chance to affect more personal and meaningful changes.
Jasmine completed her Certificate IV in Practice Management in 2017 and has embraced her role in both managing the clinic and in welcoming and calming our patients! The best part of her job is getting to know and learning all about our awesome patients, playing with the kiddies at the kids corner and making everyone feel warm and welcomed.
Justin studied dentistry at the University of Queensland and actually met Grant while studying! He graduated with first class honours in 2010 and he is welcomed with open arms into the Method Dental family, in part because he is already family! Justin is Jasmine’s brother and Grant’s brother-in-law and he is the perfect addition to our team.
When it comes to modern dental care, Justin believes that trust is always earned. His empathetic manner and ability to slow down and understand the issues our patients face, helps to break down the barrier that stands between an anxious patient and the dental care they require.
He works hard to make lasting impressions on children during their dental visits to ensure that they have a healthy relationship with oral health and dentistry as they grow up. One of the greatest rewards of the job is seeing his patients, both children and adults, gradually forget their fear of the dentist. In addition to general and children’s dentistry, Justin also has special interests in dental implants and aesthetic dentistry.
Justin also speaks more than five languages (English, Chinese, Malay, French, Spanish and a little bit of Italian) which means being able to communicate with and help more members of the community! When not drawing or engaging in photography, he is most likely busying himself cooking everything from scratch or potentially learning more languages.
Ashleigh grew up in New Zealand and moved to Australia 4 years ago. She has worked in the Dental industry for 9 years as a Dental Technician and Dental Assistant.
After working with Method Dental since the beginning, we’ve found her approach to patient care simply amazing! Patients feel at ease with her and can instantly feel confident in not only her skills and knowledge, but in her calming manner.
In her spare time, Ash loves to bake specialty cakes and cupcakes for friends and family, as well as spend time at the beach with her Miniature Dachshund, Monty.
Macey assists our dentists on Saturdays and loves to make our weekends at Method Dental fun! She enjoys dental assisting and she is always curious about the procedures and intricacies of modern dentistry.
One of her favourite things to do is to welcome kids into the world of dentistry and help them to feel at ease when visiting Method Dental.
She is currently studying at University and we are all in her corner, hoping that she achieves all of her goals in her studies!
