About the Practice The cornerstone of our practice is providing our patients with a different dental experience. We do this by ensuring that our patients are the centre of our focus in all aspects of our care.

Naturally we are al about the outcomes as well, providing you with the best possible treatment, through the latest techniques, keeping up to date with the latest technologies, not for technology sake but in order to provide you with the best possible outcomes and strict hygiene and infection control protcols. Coupled with our emphasis on patient communication (including listening) we aim to provide conservative dental care with a focus on retaining your natural teeth for as long as possible.

We also strive to support those in need and the vulnerable both locally and internationally. Tassie Smiles Dental are proud supporters of Pathways Tasmania, Global Care Africa and Destiny Rescue. We are also aligned with the Australian Dental Health Foundation providing important and transformative dental care to victims of domestic violence.

Tassie Smiles Dental thanks all of our patients for enabling us to support those in need.

About Our Clinic
Tassie Smiles Dental is based on offering a caring, relaxed dental care environment. Our belief is that the best dentistry is non-invasive dentistry and that preventative care is the foundation of my dental practice. At Tassie Smiles, early treatment, executed well is a cornerstone of our care offerings.

Dr. Michelle Forsyth and Dr. Ava Hafezi look forward to welcoming you to Tassie Smiles Dental.
Tassie Smiles Dental opened in July 2013. It was started by myself, Dr. Michelle Forsyth and my husband, Cameron. It has been a long time dream of ours to own our own dental practice together. I built up a successful practice in Durban, South Africa before immigrating to Bundaberg, Queensland in 2009. It was a difficult decision to leave the practice, friends and family behind, however together with my husband and two children it was a “no-brainer” and we left in search of a better life in Australia.

After four years in Bundaberg, serving both in the public service and in private practice our family decided to relocate to the magnificent state of Tasmania.
