Dr Manuka, dentist at Buderim Family Dental — dental clinic in Buderim, QLD

Dr Manuka

Dentist — general & restorative dentistry

Dr Manuka is the newest member of the Buderim Family Dental team. He graduated from the University of Adelaide with a passion for comprehensive, patient-centred care, and brings a calm, considered approach to every appointment — routine check-up or complex restorative case.

He takes the time to make sure you're comfortable throughout your visit, explaining every treatment option clearly so you can decide with confidence. From nervous first-timers to long-standing patients, the goal is the same: to make your dental experience as positive as possible.

With a particular interest in restorative and general dentistry, Dr Manuka is committed to helping patients maintain healthy, functional smiles for life, and stays current with evidence-based techniques.

Outside of work he enjoys climbing, surfing and music — you'll usually catch him soaking up the sun on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane.
