Amanda Chili is an Oral Hygienist at Redefine Dental in Durban.

For as long as she can remember, Amanda has been fascinated by dentistry. Her passion for both people and dentistry led her to pursue an Oral Hygienist degree at the University of Kwazulu Natal.

Amanda has a special interest in periodontics and primary health care. She feels a great sense of satisfaction when she helps a patient get back to having healthy gums and teeth. She firmly believes that oral hygiene can be achieved by using the right techniques and treatments, and offering more comprehensive oral hygiene instructions.

Amanda realises that visiting the dental office can be a daunting experience, which is why she performs pain-free dentistry at all times. For her, achieving 100% patient satisfaction and always having the best interests of patients is at the core of Dentistry.

Amanda makes an effort to create a personalised rapport with each patient to put them at ease and help them relax. She also believes in taking her time during treatment and being gentle on patients. To this end, she follows the practices of Slow Dentistry.

The science and the technological advancements in Dentistry is something that intrigues Amanda, and she makes sure to incorporate these into all her hygiene procedures.
