Julia Vernillo is a Registered Dental Hygienist who brings a gentle, thoughtful approach to every appointment. She has worked in the dental profession since 2021 and went on to complete her Advanced Diploma of Oral Health (Dental Hygiene), building experience in periodontal therapy, preventive care and dental radiography.
Julia understands that visiting the dentist can feel daunting for some people. She takes time to listen, explain each step and help patients feel comfortable and involved in their care. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, cultural safety and treatment tailored to each person’s needs.
Her clinical interests include gum health, preventive dentistry and oral health education. Julia enjoys helping patients understand how to care for their teeth and gums between visits, and she also provides professional whitening treatments for patients looking to brighten their smile.
In 2025, Julia received TAFE SA’s Clinical Excellence Award in Patient Management and Product Knowledge, recognising her clinical care and patient communication. At Dentistry on Unley, she looks forward to building lasting relationships with patients and helping them feel confident about their oral health.
