“My individual vision is to leave a legacy of change in the dental industry, helping to eradicate dental phobia and alleviate dental anxiety and patients’ fears. As principal dentist and owner of Integrated Dental Canberra, and more broadly in the community, my goal is to help develop and encourage the use of specific tools for dentists and patients to empower themselves.
“My practice vision is to help heal and empower with exceptional dentistry in a calming nurturing environment.” (Dr. Henriette)
Dr Henriette graduated with a Bachelor of Dentistry from The University of Sydney in 1999. She has practiced at Sydney’s Holistic Dental Care Centre, Windsor, Gosford and in the Blue Mountains and has performed volunteer work overseas, including in Tonga and Bali.

In all of her work, she has committed to ensuring to the extent possible that patients have a calming and relaxing dental experience.
She chooses her team carefully and provides relaxation therapies and a “comfort menu” not common in the dental industry. “Education, empathy and a holistic approach are key, along with exceptional service. Our focus is oral health and the latest in innovative treatment and pain relief, but also on the whole person.”
For her ground-breaking work, Dr Henriette was awarded a prestigious “Altitude Award” in 2021 for revolutionary achievement in the dental industry and a “Pioneering Achievement Award” in 2023 for more than 10 years’ service specialising in the expert and gentle treatment of patients with dental anxiety.

Outside of work, she loves the snow, skiing, hiking and climbing in the mountains, meditation and yoga. And in her remaining spare time, she loves to read and write poetry!
