Dr Faiyaj Chowdhury (Dentist)
Dr Faiyaj brings a warm, people-focused approach to dentistry that helps every patient feel welcomed from the moment they arrive. Originally from Adelaide, he completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Adelaide, where he thrived in the busy clinical environment and discovered his passion for working in a collaborative setting to support healthier smiles.
He valued the opportunity to work with a large team and enjoyed the variety of patient experiences, which shaped his professional path.
A People-First Philosophy
What Dr Faiyaj enjoys most about dentistry is meeting new people each day. “Every person who comes into the clinic is a new face to get to know.” While technical knowledge is crucial, of course, he believes the real difference comes from building genuine relationships. His thoughtful manner and ability to create a calm environment often help patients feel more relaxed, even during longer or more complex visits.
For him, dentistry isn’t just about caring for teeth but about supporting the overall wellbeing of the person sitting in the chair.
The Path to Dentistry
Dr Faiyaj’s path to dentistry wasn’t a straight line. He first studied engineering but soon realised it lacked the human interaction he valued most. Dentistry provided the ideal balance: the opportunity to connect with people while using his hands in meaningful ways.
This background shapes how he approaches care, with the focus always on the individual and their unique needs. He enjoys the variety each day brings and the chance to learn something new from every patient.
Beyond the Dental Chair
Outside the clinic, Dr Faiyaj enjoys fishing, hiking, and exploring new destinations. He makes regular trips back to Adelaide to spend time with his parents and brother, often sharing meals together or playing tennis on weekends.
