Advanced Dental Centre

About Us

Meet the Team

While we strive to practice the most advanced dental techniques, it is our genuine care and personalised service that sets us apart.

Dr. Karl Scarpin (BDS)

Dr. Karl Scarpin heads the team of dental professionals at Advanced Dental Centre. An experienced Dental Surgeon, he completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1995 and is a member of the Australian Dental Association (ADA).

During the past 12 years he has worked in city and country dental surgeries and hospitals, spanning both the private and public sectors. This has given Dr. Karl Scarpin the depth and breadth of experience that far exceeds his years in dentistry.

Dr. Karl Scarpin created Advanced Dental Centre as a way to provide high quality dental care in a caring, relaxed and comfortable environment. He has a strong belief in continuous learning, always striving to enhance his knowledge and skills.

Karl, as he is known to his friends, is married to Angela and has a lovely daughter named Claire. He enjoys playing tennis and going fishing. So if you hear about his fishing trip with Agassi, you might want to take it with a pinch of salt.

Dr. Nichola Matto (BDS)

Dr. Nichola Matto completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2001, and worked in country Victoria for four years before joining Advanced Dental Centre. She is a member of the Australian Dental Association (ADA).

Her primary focus within the practice is on preventive care of the teeth and gums. She especially enjoys treating children and coaching them in effective home care.

In her spare time, Nichola loves to carve up the snowy slopes of the Victorian highlands. When not skiing, she finds peace of mind peddling across hilly terrain on her bicycle .

Karma Sara

Karma Sara has a Certificate III in Dental Assisting with four years of experience in dental assisting.

Her focus is on the patient’s comfort and care, and does all she can to assure the treatment goes smoothly and pain free.

Karma enjoys sharing lively conversation and great food and wines with her many friends. There is never a dull moment when Karma is in the room.

Kate Reid

Kate Reid started dental assisting with Advanced Dental Centre in 2006. Since then she has undertaken the Certificate III in Dental Assisting and will complete her studies in 2007.

Like Karma, Kate does everything within her power to make the patient feel comfortable, safe and totally cared for.

Kate is a self-confessed gym junkie. Her motto is train hard, play hard. She definitely plays hard in life and sport, especially softball.

Angela Scarpin

Angela Scarpin with her husband,
Dr. Karl Scarpin, created Advanced Dental Centre. Her experience as an Accountant has played an important role in the success of Advanced Dental Centre.

She balances the books with the same dedication as she does being a great mother to her young daughter Claire. And according to Karl, she is also a great cook.

Angela has a chronic case of the travel bug with Italy being her favorite place in the world. Her Italian love affair includes enjoying tiramisu and cappuccinos at the finest cafés around Adelaide. She burns those extra “tiramisu” calories by going to aerobics.
