Dr. Vinny Ankaran graduated in 1994 from Birmingham University in England, obtaining his licence in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in the same year. 

He has completed extensive postgraduate training and successfully completed a 5-year Masters degree in Clinical Restorative Cosmetic Dentistry in 2010. 

In 2009, Dr Ankaran was shortlisted in the inter-disciplinary category for one of the UK’s top cosmetic awards, the UK SMILE Awards (now called the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards). These awards recognise clinical excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and Vinny was only one of 15 dentists/specialists in the UK to be recognised in this category. 

He has lectured at the Academy of Clinical Excellence in Wakefield, UK, and the International Centre of Excellence in Dentistry in Birmingham, UK. 

Throughout his career, Vinny has owned two dental practices and worked in several multidisciplinary specialist practices, providing Endodontic and Cosmetic Dental treatments. 

Vinny is committed to providing the highest quality of care to each of his patients and does so in a warm, down-to-earth, and approachable manner. He has a special interest in root canal treatments and cosmetic cases and enthusiastically approaches every case, wishing for perfection. 

He moved to Australia in 2011 and calls the Sunshine Coast home. When he’s not hard at work, you’ll find Vinny at the local gym or engrossed in the latest film or good book.
