Dr Meredith Metin
Principal Dentist
I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Dental Science in 1996 and have since dedicated my career to providing high-quality, comprehensive, and personalised care that reflects both my professional expertise and my commitment to doing what is right for each patient. I enjoy every aspect of general and cosmetic dentistry, but I also have a special interest in helping people with jaw muscle pain and TMJ issues, as well as in dento-facial aesthetics. Whether it’s relieving discomfort or helping someone feel more confident in their appearance, I always focus on achieving natural, gentle, and positive results—with your wellbeing at the heart of everything I do. Outside of the clinic, I’m proud to call Hobsons Bay home. I live here with my husband and two boys, and when I’m not at work, you’ll often find me out walking my cheeky Shihtzu, Lenny, along the Strand ...
Hi, I’m Dr Meredith Metin, and I’ve been looking after smiles for more than 25 years. Dentistry, to me, is about so much more than teeth—it’s about caring for people. Guided by honesty, empathy, and respect, I take a gentle approach that helps my patients feel safe, understood, and supported throughout their dental journey.
Dr Amisha Hindocha
Dentist
She obtained her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2013 from King’s College London Dental Institute (UK) and continued her post-graduate study in the field of Orthodontics and Orthopaedics in Sydney at the International Academy of Advanced Dentistry (IAADENT). In 2021 she obtained her Diploma of Sleep Medicine and TMJD (jaw joint disorders) from the University of Jaume, Spain.
She specialises in designing smiles using minimally invasive techniques, blending cosmetic smile design with orthodontic solutions such as Invisalign. Dr. Amisha provides personalised care to patients of all ages, with a particular emphasis on holistic health principles, ensuring each smile is unique and beautiful.
Dedicated to ongoing postgraduate training she has studied:
- Orthopaedics – focusing on early intervention strategies to reduce the need and where possible prevent tooth extractions in developing children.
- Orthodontics – levelling and aligning teeth with both fixed braces and Invisalign.
- Sleep Medicine – addressing issues such as sleep-disordered breathing, sleep apnea, and snoring in adults and children.
Dr Cindy Lay
Dentist
Hi, I’m Dr Cindy Lay, and I take pride in providing gentle and comfortable dentistry for our community. As a true local, it’s important to me that my patients feel supported and cared for every step of the way.
I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne and believe dentistry should always be patient-centred. I love helping people understand their oral health and feel confident about their smiles. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is supporting anxious patients and helping them see dentistry in a new light—where it feels stress-free and positive.
I find real fulfilment in restorative, paediatric, and preventative dentistry, and I’m committed to staying up to date through continuing education so I can always provide the best care possible.
Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me at pilates, catching up with family and friends, tending to my growing collection of plants, or spending time with my new puppy.
