Dr Dupika Gunasekera
BDS (University of Sydney)
Dentist
Dupes has been practicing dentistry since 1991 after graduating from the University of Sydney. She moved to the Central Coast with her husband Phil in 2003 and has enjoyed the coastal change.
Being a mum herself, she is happy to provide a child-friendly dental environment as well as providing a full range of services for adults.
Phil and Dupes have created a preventatively oriented practice, that focuses on their patients maintaining oral health for life.
She is proud to offer high quality clinical care and service in an independent family practice; unaffiliated with any corporation.
Outside the practice, Dupes enjoys spending time with her family, trying to keep healthy, cooking, yoga and dining out.
Mr Phillip Campbell

Hygienist
Phil is passionate about dental health and getting to know his patients.
He has a reputation for being a gentle, caring, and thorough dental hygienist. He works in conjunction with Dupes and Cathleen, focusing on the prevention of dental disease associated with teeth and gums.
As gum disease (Periodontal Disease) impacts a large portion of the population, and can be associated with other general health problems, Phil concentrates on prevention and educating his patients.
Phil has a passion for cycling and fine wine, and quality family time.
