DR JACK RAVAL

PRINCIPAL DENTIST & OWNER

Dr. Jack Raval is an experienced and caring dentist who graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2007. He began his career working in various locations across Queensland, where he gained valuable experience in all aspects of dentistry and patient care.

Since relocating to the Illawarra region, Dr. Raval has been proudly serving the local community. Over the years, he has further specialised in crown and bridge work, root canal therapy, surgical extractions, cosmetic dentistry, and implant surgery.

Outside of dentistry, Jack enjoys outdoor activities—particularly playing polo, horse riding, and staying active at the gym. He also has a passion for music and spends his downtime playing the piano and developing his musical skills.

Dr. Raval is committed to pain-free, gentle dentistry. He always prioritises his patients’ well-being and takes the time to explore treatment options that best suit each individual’s comfort and care needs.
