Dr. Georgia Hogg
General Dentist
BOH (D.Sc), Grad.Dip.Dent (Griffith)
Dr Georgia Hogg graduated from Griffith University School of Dentistry in 2013. Her principal goal is to provide empathetic and gentle treatment, especially for those patients who are anxious about visiting the dental practice. Dr Georgia has always been interested in the link between periodontal health and a patient’s general health and quality of life.
Through working at Benowa Mansions for over a decade, Dr Georgia has observed the general health and functional outcomes of periodontal and dental implant treatment in her returning patients. This has inspired Dr Georgia to undertake professional courses in periodontics, restoration of dental implants, and more recently to explore a collaborative approach with patients’ medical practitioner(s) to deal with sleep apnoea and snoring disorders.
Dr Georgia takes pride in building relationships with patients to make them feel more comfortable with all procedures and acknowledges that her role as a dentist is collaborative with Dr Latcham, Dr Poon, the patient’s referring general dentist, and in terms of sleep disorder appliance therapy, the patient’s medical practitioner. In all cases where the patient has a referring dentist, Dr Georgia’s work is confined to the scope of the referral.
Having lived between Brisbane and the Gold Coast for majority of her life, Dr Georgia is now settled on the Gold Coast and in her spare time will always be on the water- surfing, boating, swimming and sometimes even catching a fish.
