Dr lic Harris Boutique Dental

Founder/Principal dentist

Dr Lincoln Harris

Dr Linc embarked on his dentistry journey more than two decades ago when he established his dental practice. With an impressive background, he has been consistently enhancing his dentistry skills over the past 24 years.
 
Dr Linc’s academic pursuit commenced at the University of Queensland, where he earned his Bachelor of Dental Science with first-class honours. His extraordinary academic achievements led to his induction into the prestigious Golden Key International Honour Society, a testament to his relentless pursuit for excellence.
 
In addition to his practice, Dr Linc is also the CEO and Founding Director of Ripe Global, an international dental education company. He teaches dentists in over 22 countries, shaping international standards in dental care and education.
 
What sets Dr Linc apart from many in his field is his unique skill set. He is among a select few dentists who can handcraft high quality ceramic veneers in his own clinic. He possesses the ability to perform orthodontics, gum reshaping, and implantology to achieve a comprehensive result. 
 
His approach involves understanding patients’ goals, helping them navigate through fears and anxieties related to dentistry, and ultimately transforming smiles in ways that significantly enhance their confidence and quality of life.
 
Outside of his professional endeavours, Dr Linc is happily married and a proud father of four children. In his leisure time, he is often found enhancing the beauty of his garden, reflecting his commitment to creating beauty in all aspects of his life.

I have had the unique opportunity to see Dr Linc from 2 perspectives – as a patient and through working with Dr Linc as an anaesthetist.  I have always been impressed by Linc’s considered, thorough approach, the time he takes to listen to patients, and his gentle and careful clinical skills. 

As a patient I have always felt assured of excellent care and have always had a comfortable experience.  As an anaesthetist I have always seen these same qualities displayed in Dr Linc’s treatment of all patients he treats. I can confidently recommend Dr Linc for any patient who wants experienced, gentle, and excellent dental care.

The personal experience of seeing my name on the ID note was a very nice touch. I met Dr Harris who was very impressive. He did not rush me, he explained the what and why of the treatment I needed.

I felt at ease, and when I was booked out at reception it was again a very professional experience.”

Thank you.
