Our staff

Dr Nicole Hocek (BDSc –UWA Hons)
Principal Dentist

Dr Nicole Hocek graduated with honours from the University of Western Australia in 2008. She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, however has a special interest in oral surgery.

Nicole has been credentialed to operate at both Kalgoorlie Regional Hospital and St John of God Midland, so she is able to perform all procedures under a general anaesthetic. She still operates a list at both hospitals regularly, so if you would like to enquire about treatment under a general anaesthetic give our clinic a call on 08 9250 8844.

Nicole also regularly performs treatment under IV Sedation in the clinic (often referred to as sleep dentistry or twilight sedation). The sedation is performed by a trained dental anaesthetist and similar to GA it is great for those who have dental phobia or anxiety.

In addition to general dentistry, Nicole has done additional training and is able to perform the following procedures:
- Wisdom teeth extractions
- Anti-wrinkle injections
- Dermal Filler treatments (Lip fillers)
- Therapeutic injectables for treatment of bruxism
- Dental Implants
Nicole has previously practiced in Mandurah, Kwinana and Kalgoorlie.
