BDS (USyd)
Dr Briana Fang is a general dentist with special interest in Paediatrics and Orthodontics. She is a University of Sydney graduate (1998) and was awarded the medalist in Paediatrics.
Briana has worked rather extensively in various organizations and private practices in Sydney, as well as a short period of time in the UK. Her desire to provide up-to-date comprehensive care to her patients, especially the children she adores, brings her to many various courses & conferences over the years to continuously improve her understanding and clinical skills.
Outside of dentistry, Briana enjoys spreading her time over a wide range of interest -- travelling, reading, dancing, going for live performances or a good art/craft exhibition, a little bit of hiking and camping etc. She believes that variety is the key to spice up one's life. And if anyone ever wonders...her husband begged her not to change her surname after they got married, as her maiden name is the perfect name for a devoted dentist :-)
BDent(Hons) (USyd)

Outside of dentistry Jaime is a busy mother of two and enjoys spending time with her family. Jaime is originally from Myanmar (Burma), but she calls Australia home as she has lived here for most of her life.

BDS (USyd)
Dr Rachel Wong studied at the University of Sydney and received her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) with honours in 2003.
After graduation, Rachel worked as a dental officer at Westmead Dental Hospital for 5 years, which allowed her to practise a range of dentistry within the public health system. In this time she gained some unique experience in Special Needs Dentistry, visiting schools and aged care facilities, as well as in community dental clinics in Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Katoomba, Lithgow, Narooma and Marouya.
In 2010, she joined Twinkle Family Dental as an associate dentist, a place which has since become her “dental home”. In her practice of dentistry, she is interested in preventative treatment, minimal intervention dentistry, and restorative dentistry and treats patients of all ages, from children to elderly patients. She likes to spend the time to listen and explain, to be thorough but gentle, and to ensure that her patients are comfortable in the dental chair. She is committed to help them maintain their teeth for life and build a long-term dental relationship with a trusted dentist and team.
Rachel is originally from Hong Kong but has spent most of her life in Sydney. Outside of dentistry, she enjoys spending time with her two young children and going to the gym. She loves a good novel, sewing, and playing the keyboard and acoustic guitar.
BDS (Rand), PDD ClinDent
Dr Theresa Leong was born in South Africa, where she obtained her Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1997. With a keen interest to further her education, she later obtained a postgraduate diploma in advanced clinical dentistry at the University of Stellenbosch.
She has an enthusiasm for dentistry and has a reputation for having a very caring and gentle approach. She enjoys all aspects of clinical dentistry and has worked for practices in both South Africa and in the United Kingdom for thirteen years. During this period she has gained extensive experience in preventative and conservative dentistry, crown and bridgework and cosmetic dentistry.
In her spare time she enjoys travel, music, drawing and cooking. However, over the last few years, she devotes most of her time to entertaining her two beautiful daughters.
Mary has been working with us as a Dental Assistant at Twinkle Dental since 2012, and often helps out on Reception when needed.
She is a very hard worker and always greets patients and colleagues with a smile and happy to help wherever she can.
When she is not at work, Mary enjoys time out with her husband in exploring Australia, trying local cuisines or simply just working in her garden, looking after her favourite succulents.
Cathy started working with us in 2010 and is a veteran in the dental field. She has been working as a dental nurse and/or receptionist for a very very long time, taking time off only because of the family... helping in a family business, as well as raising 2 beautiful children. She is a people person and enjoys her work immensely because it gives her the opportunity to help people, and to get to know all our regular patients.
Cathy loves working with kids. You can tell easily simply by talking to her, or looking at her impressive history – prior to joining our practice, she spent 10 years in Private General Practice, 3 years in the Paediatric Dentistry Department of Westmead Centre for Oral Health (aka Westmead Dental Hospital) and another 2.5 years in Private Specialist Paediatric Dental Practice. Her broad scale of experience covers general dentistry, special needs dentistry, orthodontics and dental treatment under general anaesthesia, oral sedation and inhalation sedation ("Happy Gas").
Without doubt, family is where her utmost passion lies. Photography, gardening and going to the gym are some of the other things she enjoys when she gets the time.
Jane started working with us in 2019 as our part time receptionist. She enjoys administrative work, worked as an administrator and receptionist in other industries for almost 8 years prior to joining us, and is quite a fast learner. Since joining the Twinkle family, her enthusiasm led her to starting, and completing, her Dental Assisting course, so don't be surprised to see her assisting chairside these days as well.
Jane loves seeing people smile and is always with a smile herself. To have a happy patient at the end of each visit gives her a thrill. She is also fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, which is quite handy at times.
In her spare time, Jane spends most of her time with her husband and dotting over their young daughter, going to parks or visiting friends, and taking short family trips on Sundays. Food, baking and photography are her other favourite activities.
