Taz as he is well known is a humble, easy going guy who can always be seen with a smile on his face. He is always up for a chat and believes thorough communication and a great dental experience are integral for patients. As our principal dentist, Taz comes to Kapunda Dental with a treasure trove of experience in all aspects of dentistry. Ever since graduating, Taz has enjoyed being able to appreciate South Australia’s country towns providing dental care throughout the state at major rural regions including Victor Harbor,, Balaklava and central Norwood.

Taz has a laid-back demeanour, but his attention to detail is what his dental students know him for when he taught at The University of Adelaide. Extending a finer touch to his genuine areas of interest, including cosmetic and digital dentistry, surgery and dental implants and offers IV Sedation for patients who require extra care.

A family man through and through, Taz shares two handsome boys with his wife. If you can’t catch him on the phone, it is likely that he’s gone fishing if the weather is fine. If it is windy, no worries, give him a call.

Edwina is a proud part-owner of Kapunda Dental and Oral Health Therapist with ability to provide majority of dental care to patients of all ages. Edwina has always had a driven and passionate personality, so when she met and later married her farming husband back in 2019, she decided to tackle ways to improve access to dentistry in rural areas. She swapped surfing for gardening and thongs for boots. Luckily, she already knew how to drive a manual ute, which has come in handy on the farm.

Starting her career in Jamestown offered a wonderful experience, where community spirit highlighted to Edwina how wonderful country living can really be. Time in the country led to bonfires and playing tennis on weekends, she admits however she has never been able to swap the pool for the netball court and prefers to be seen at the local pool early in the morning.

Since progressing her career to the country, Edwina and her husband have welcomed two beautiful girls who provide their lives with simple unfiltered joy. Edwina hopes that women can feel successful at all areas of their lives including mum life, farm life and dental life. Although, don’t start talking teeth with her, because she may never stop.
