General dentist and principal of the practice. Close to ten years of Hunter smiles, a steady hand with surgery, and a sense of humour that does half the work.

Dr Nish has spent close to ten years in dentistry across both public and private practice in the Hunter, most of it in Newcastle. That mix matters: public work throws everything at you, and it teaches you to stay calm and work out what actually needs doing first.
He has a special interest in veneers, wisdom teeth surgery, dentures and full-mouth rehabilitation — the kinds of treatment where the planning is as important as the procedure. He’s active in local study groups and continuing education, which is his way of making sure the practice keeps up rather than settles.
Patients tend to mention two things about him: that he explains what’s happening before he does it, and that he’s funny. Both help more than you’d expect if you’re nervous in a dental chair. Outside work he’s a cricket obsessive and a father of two.
