Originally from Cardiff, Wales, Dr. Roy Gamma qualified from Dental School at Newcastle Upon Tyne University, England in 1989. Following a year working at the same Dental Hospital and a few locum jobs in England, Wales and Australia he permanently relocated to Australia in 1993.

Roy worked in Wollongong and the Central Coast, before establishing his own dental practice in Drummoyne, Sydney in 1995. During his time there, he provided general dental care to his loyal patients for over 11 years, before moving with his family to the Northern Rivers region to successfully achieve a better work-life balance.

Roy joined Marcus O’Meara in 2007 at Brunswick Holistic Dental Centre,
where they formed a close working relationship before Marcus set up O’Meara Dental at Habitat, Byron Bay in 2019**. Roy continued on at Brunswick Heads providing dental care to that community for a continuous 17 years until the practice was unfortunately closed down by the corporate owners.

It was a natural progression for Roy to re-join with Marcus at O’Meara Dental and both are delighted to rekindle their working relationship in providing the best possible dental care to the community at large.

Roy offers a wide range of high quality general dental services for all ages including affordable aesthetic solutions.

In his leisure time, Roy enjoys practicing yoga and playing golf, although he no longer takes the latter too seriously these days. He lives with his partner in Currumbin QLD, and has two grown up children who live in Sydney, that he enjoys nothing more to reconnect with during his busy schedule.

Since graduating in 1985, I have enjoyed helping patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles through thoughtful, conservative dental care. My approach is centred on preserving natural teeth wherever possible and providing treatment that is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual’s needs.

I have a particular interest in all aspects of restorative dentistry, endodontics, and preventive care. Whether you’re attending for routine maintenance or require more complex treatment, my goal is to ensure you understand your options. I believe that demystifying dentistry and explaining treatment in clear, straightforward language helps patients feel informed, confident, and comfortable in making decisions about their oral health.

I understand that visiting the dentist can be daunting for some people, so I aim to create a relaxed, friendly environment where questions are always welcome and there is never any pressure.

Outside the practice, I enjoy spending time on the golf course, surfing whenever I can, keeping fit at the gym, listening to music, and reading.
I am proud to call Northern Rivers home and look forward to welcoming both new and existing patients and working together to help you enjoy a healthy smile for years to come

Shari began her dental career as a trainee nurse in Brunswick Holistic Dental Centre in June 2004. Like a duck to water, Shari excelled in her new role and quickly became the practice principals nurse, then head nurse. However her ability to multi task, the care and affection she shows towards patients (and staff), her attention to detail and her infectious, magnetic personality meant it wasn’t long before she was running the place!

I was an associate dentist in BHDC at the time and was lucky enough to witness the rising star and decided there and then that whatever I did in dental, it was critical to have Shari involved! I am lucky enough to have worked with Shari ever since.

As well as running the business behind the scenes, Shari is especially in her element front of house, liaising with patients and staff, ensuring everyone is happy and well looked after. The beating heart of the practice, her deep sense of community and her passion for the job is evident in the warmth and affection she shows towards everyone.

Outside of work Shari is super social, maintaining strong connections with friends and family, plays (and coaches) hockey and touch footy, and enjoys spending time with her family.
