Dr Ivan Young joined Dr Paul Blatch and his associates in 1975 in a dental practice founded by Dr McGovern. The practice offered quality dental services to families of many generations in this region, mainly at Kembla Street, and later established its Woonona branch in the early 1980s.
Dr Beena Kurian and Mr Shinu Joseph took over the ownership and management of Dr Ivan Young’s share in these practices and formed Woonona Dentists in November 2014.
Dr Natasha Khushalani, Dr Abha Verma and Dr Chin Valsan joined the practice to continue the tradition of high quality dental care when Dr Ivan Young retired in 2016.
We strive to continue the tradition of caring for the dental health of several generations of patients, with over 50 years of dental care in the region.
Our Approach
Our approach begins with listening. Our dentists take the time to understand your concerns, examine your oral health and explain what they find in clear, straightforward language.
Where treatment is needed, we talk through your options, alternatives, likely fees and anything else that matters before you decide. Call us for current fees.

At Woonona Dentists we follow documented infection-control procedures. We use equipment that tracks and sterilises instruments. We are a QIP accredited dental practice, which means an independent organisation assesses how we work.
We select dental materials and equipment with quality and suitability for your treatment in mind. Your dentist can explain the materials recommended for your care, how to look after your restoration and any laboratory terms that apply.
Three Clear Principles
Three simple principles guide how we communicate, plan care and support each patient.
01
We explain dental findings and treatment options in straightforward language and encourage patients to ask questions about their care.
02
Your oral health, concerns, preferences and individual treatment needs help guide the recommendations and treatment options we discuss with you.
03
From your first appointment through treatment and ongoing preventive care, our team is available to answer questions and help you understand what comes next.
Our Services
Our team offers dental services for children, adults and families, from check-ups and cleans through to more involved treatment.
Our Values
Our values shape how we communicate, provide care and carry out our professional responsibilities.
We listen to your concerns and questions. You have a say in decisions about your dental care.
We explain your treatment choices, what to consider and likely fees so you can decide what is right for you.
We keep learning and reviewing how we work so we can improve the care we give you.
Whether you're due for a routine check-up or would like to talk about a dental concern, our Woonona team can help.
