Katie Mateja

Dental Hygienist

Katie is from Brisbane and earned her Bachelor of Applied Health Science (Oral Health) in 2009 at the University of Queensland. She was awarded the Dean’s Academic Commendation for Academic Excellence. Katie has worked in dentistry since 2010 at both private at corporate practices before she started with Edward St Dental in 2022.

“My favourite part about my job is interacting with patients and building a trusting rapport with them. Seeing patients comfortable with me and happy to rebook to see me so I can take care of their dental hygiene needs and health is very rewarding. I have a keen preventative focus, perform preventative scaling and polishing procedures, take radiographic images, and especially enjoy Zoom Whitening and see the before and after results for my patients. I like to make my patients feel comfortable at all times and feel like they are coming in to see a friend who is dedicated to educating them and helping them with their oral health needs.”

When Katie is away from the dental clinic, she spends plenty of time with her young son and husband, Jeremy. She is also dedicated to dance, training three times per week and participating in six yearly competitions State Championships held every October, and the National Championships held every year in Sydney in November.
