Meet your dentist in Mackay

At Walkerston Dental in Walkerston GP Superclinic, Queensland, we have three dentists on our team. Between them they cover a wide range of treatments and approaches, so we believe that we have something for everyone. While some dental practices focus on one or two fields of dentistry, here we offer many. From preventive to children’s dentistry, from cosmetic work to braces and dental implants, there’s something for all ages.

Here’s a bit more about each dentist in Mackay who works at our surgery.

Dr Prathap Kripakaran

Dr Kripakaran, or Dr PK as he is known around the practice, is our principal dentist. He’s worked as a dentist in Australia for 15 years and upholds our surgery ideals of preventive dentistry with excellent patient care, using the best technology available, with high standards of safety.

He practices general dentistry with a focus on oral surgery. Dr PK also strongly believes in dentists continually updating their skills and knowledge to make sure they are offering patients the most up-to-date treatment possible. He is also known as a compassionate and understanding dentist in Mackay who works well with our nervous patients.

Dr Simi Jacob

Simi has been a dentist in Mackay for 8 years. She is an experienced and dedicated general dentist who loves working with children. She aims to help our young patients have a positive experience of dentistry that they can carry through into adulthood, hopefully avoiding any associations of fear and anxiety with visiting the dentist.

She is also passionate about creating beautiful smiles through her cosmetic work. This includes fitting clear aligners, transparent braces that fit neatly into a patient’s lifestyle.
