Dr Mark Nieh [Hornsby/North Sydney/Parramatta/Sydney CBD]
BDS (Otago, NZ)
Welcome to My Smile Cosmetic Dentistry, where our practice focuses on you and your smile.
Dr Mark Nieh graduated from the University of Otago, New Zealand, in 2005. He is obsessed about dentistry and its never-ending evolution, and endeavour to make your dental experience a pleasant and mutually rewarding experience.
When you sit on his dental chair, you become Mark’s number one priority. Our whole team is dedicated to your comfort and you will receive our uttermost care and the best treatments in a relaxed, modern and friendly atmosphere. Dr Nieh will only recommend dental treatments to you that he would perform on his own family. While dentally obsessed, he still believes that teeth are fixed so that you can use them, ideally not on anything that will break it again (opening a beer bottle for example).
Mark believes in the philosophy of enjoying everything in life, in moderation. He consumes coffee and tea, just like everybody else, and cannot operate without a strong cuppa in the morning. So while Mark does like you to come in with gorgeous teeth with minimal staining, he understands indulgences in life and will help you to make good of your teeth every time you come in.
Our team believes in communication. Mark will not only talk you through your treatment to keep you informed, but also to allay any fears you may have. He will also provide you with options after careful consideration of your current and future treatment needs. Mark also understands that at times people may be restricted by financial concerns. These will all come into our treatment planning and will be openly discussed with you prior to beginning of any treatment.
Dr Nieh strongly believes in continuing education in any profession. His main interest in professional development in the past few years has been with restorative dentistry involving aesthetic restorations, dental materials research, and implant restorations. He maintains an active account with several prominent overseas research
