Dr Joachim Peermamode, or JP as he prefers to go by, graduated with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Western Australia in 2021, after completing a Batchelor of Science degree.

He also happened to be nursing for his brother, Adam, who also works for us as a dentist.

JP enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, with a particular interest in oral surgery. He is committed to continuous professional development, regularly engaging in further education to enhance his skills and provide the best possible care for his patients.
