A professionally managed surgery is dependent on the professionalism of its team. At Dental 206 we are privileged to enjoy the services of our experienced members.

Johan Kriek

Johan, his wife Christelle and their 3 beautiful children Stefanie, Christiaan and Karin emigrated from South Africa in June 2004. He graduated in 1986 from the University of Pretoria and did service for 4 years as a dental officer in South Africa's defense force, which entailed further studies towards a Masters Degree in Dental Science and Oral surgery. Johan commenced private practice in 1991 with an emphasis on restorative dentistry, tooth colored fillings and root canal treatments.

With 13 years of private practice experience, in 2004 after obtaining a permanent residential visa and successfully completing the Australian Dental Council exams Johan and his family made the move to Townsville. The whole family enjoys the true North Queensland lifestyle and love escaping the city to venture out by caravan. Johan loves footy and is an active Cowboys fan.
