About Us
Our dental practice has been caring for the dental needs of the Mt Barker hills community since 1952 and our dedicated staff pride themselves on delivering high quality dental care to you and your family.
Dr Ingrid White
Ingrid has an academic background with postgraduate qualifications, is very thorough and likes to provide high quality dentistry and work with patients to achieve their dental goals.
She has many nervous patients who now attend regularly and
comfortably. Her interests are tooth-coloured fillings, preventive dentistry (particularly for children, the elderly, and those with multiple dental problems), dentures, crowns and bridges.
She has many years of experience in public dentistry, university teaching, and private practice and has a soft spot for those in need. Ingrid loves travelling, animals, nature and art, and took up scuba diving to keep her partner happy.
Dr Ashley White
Ashley is caring and very experienced. He takes the time to review past dental history, listens carefully and has the experience and skills to deal with complex problems.
He has many years of experience in rural dental practice which has given him skills beyond that of
most city dentists. He has an interest in minor oral surgery and endodontics (root canal treatment), and enjoys seeing his long-term regular patients and their families and often the next generation, to help them with their dental needs.
He likes scuba diving, adventurous travelling, swimming in his lap pool, and is a fan of sports such as soccer, AFL and cricket.
Dr Andrew Scott
Andrew brings a wealth of experience to the team at Dentalcare Mount Barker. He graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Sydney University, and since then has worked across private and public practice in Queensland, before moving to South Australia.
Andrew is well known for his relaxed and friendly approach and efficient delivery of service, which helps him to put even the most nervous patient at ease!
​
He is an adept ‘all-rounder’ and his extensive experience across all aspects of modern dentistry means he can resolve the most complex dental issues with a minimum of fuss.
Andrew co-owned and operated his own accredited practice in Brisbane for many years before making a tree-change to the beautiful Adelaide Hills in 2020. His work in the public sector—for Queensland Health—saw him practice in the Moreton Bay region and rural and remote parts of Queensland. He has also been a FIFO dentist servicing the mining sector of Central Queensland.
Outside of work Dr Andrew is a proud and experienced Weekend Warrior and likes nothing better than getting his hands dirty in the garden. He is a known ‘repeat offender’ renovator and thoroughly enjoys demolishing things and then rebuilding them—much to his wife’s amusement.
Dr Jakeya Ahmed
Dr Jakeya has a particular interest in aligner therapy and enhancing smile aesthetics, recognising the transformative impact a beautiful smile can have on a person's confidence and overall well-being.
Dr Jakeya is a proud Adelaide local and is passionate about giving back to the community that supported her. She speaks Bangla fluently and also has conversational proficiency in Urdu and Hindi, allowing her to connect with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Outside of work, Dr Jakeya enjoys hiking, exploring new landcapes, baking and crafting macramé pieces.
Dr Jakeya Ahmed is a passionate and experienced dentist who is dedicated to providing exceptional care to patients of all ages and backgrounds. She holds a Bachelor of Medical Science and a Bachelor of Dental Health Science, along with a Master of Dentistry, all achieved with academic excellence.
