Dr Christine Brzezniak graduated from Adelaide University in 2010 and since then she has worked in various private practices in Adelaide. In late 2015 she met Dr Anthony Hoimes, and after speaking to him she realised that they shared the same passion for dentistry and running a dental practice. By 2016 her biggest dreams came to fruition when she was able to purchase the practice from Dr Hoimes and become the principal dentist and leader of the team.

She enjoys all aspects of dentistry with particular interest in root canal therapy, dental implants, Invisalign and full mouth rehabilitation. She strongly believes that all dental problems are preventable and dental care should be affordable and simple; therefore, her focus is on preventive care, applying a minimally invasive approach to her treatments, and tailoring the best treatment plan for her patients. She is very knowledgeable, efficient, gentle and her enthusiastic personality will make your visit pleasant and enjoyable.

Christine has been attending continuing professional education courses since graduating. She obtained her Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Implantology (PGCert (Dent Imp)), from the California Implant Institute in America and has been working closely with implant specialists in Adelaide, aiming to deliver the best results for her patients. She also gained valuable knowledge of full mouth rehabilitation, also known as Smile Makeover, from a mini-residency of prosthodontics, provided by one of the most well-known teaching centres at CEO Dental Brisbane. She is excited to see how having a new smile can change someone’s life. In addition, Christine has been an Invisalign certified provider since 2012. Her passion for dentistry constantly drives her to explore new aspects in the dental field and in providing new opportunities for her patients.

Parallel with Christine’s passion for dentistry, she has a huge interest in cosmetic injectables and facial aesthetics. This includes, but is not limited to, muscle relaxant injections, e.g., Botox, cosmetic fillers and growth factor concentrated blood micro needling. She is looking forward to expanding her knowledge and experience for other parts of cosmetic injectables, such as thread lift, fat reduction injection and more.

As the principal dentist at Cross Road Dental Care serving Plympton, Christine is actively involved in mentoring young dentists in the clinic and ensuring that all services provided meet high standards.
