The Adentica story
After working in Caloundra for five years, Ashley established Adentica Family Dentists in December 2010 as a single-dentist practice. Adentica has continued to grow through word of mouth and is now a well-known and respected practice in the Caloundra community. In 2025 the practice was extended to four surgeries while keeping the personal feel of Adentica.
A lifelong passion
Ashley always wanted to be a dentist. When you arrive at Adentica, you can see his early passion for teeth in the picture book he wrote and illustrated at age 11, “Johnny Junkfood’s Ugly Teeth”. This childhood dream has grown into a career dedicated to helping patients maintain healthy, confident smiles.

Chairside approach
Ashley has a gentle and caring chairside manner, and takes care in presenting and explaining treatment plan alternatives in detail across all areas of modern dentistry. His patients appreciate his thorough explanations and his commitment to making sure they understand every part of their care.
Beyond dentistry
Outside of dentistry, Ashley’s passions are first and foremost spending time with his family, gardening and travel. As a father to Ryan and Adalyn, he understands the dental care concerns of parents firsthand and brings this perspective to his work with families.
Please note: Ashley’s books are currently closed for new patients.
