CATEGORY 114 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST SURGERY DESIGN & FITOUTS Dr Aodhan Docherty is no ordinary dentist. His journey into the world of dentistry was deeply rooted in personal experiences and a lifelong passion for the field. He fondly reminisces about his inspiration, the late John McGowan, a cherished family friend who also happened to be an exceptional dentist. Dr Docherty’s fascination with dentistry began at a tender age, and from that point forward, he aspired to follow in the footsteps of his esteemed mentor. Dr Docherty’s academic journey was marked by dedication and excellence. He pursued his dental education at the prestigious University of Sydney, investing a total of 8.5 years in honing his expertise. His educational odyssey encompassed a Medical Science Undergraduate program, a Bachelor of Dentistry with Honors, and a Graduate Diploma in Oral Implants. With these qualifications in hand, Dr Docherty embarked on his professional journey, which has now spanned 8 years of dedicated dental practice. Teaming up with his business partner, Dr Christopher Ho, Dr Docherty embarked on a mission to elevate the standards of patient care and dental work in Sydney, joining a group of dental practices across the city, driven by a shared commitment to excellence. Their latest venture, About Smiles at Circular Quay, is uniquely focused on delivering transformative cosmetic smile solutions. The vision for About Smiles was clear from the outset. Dr Docherty and Dr Ho envisioned a dental practice that would be the epitome of style, chicness, and highend simplicity. The objective was to create an environment where patients could experience dentistry in a space that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also conducive to their comfort and well-being. In a unique collaboration, Dr Docherty and Dr Christopher Ho reached out to a talented Portuguese designer to infuse About Smiles with the essence of Portuguese aesthetics. This designer’s expertise brought a touch of European charm to the project, setting the stage for a design solution that transcended borders and cultures. Medifit collaborated with the original designer to ensure the concept design complied with Australian standards in what was a difficult site. Upon completion, it’s evident that these objectives have been flawlessly met.
