Deciding on the Dental Path

An Early Calling and Lifelong Passion for Dentistry

For Sydney CBD Dentist Dr Tony Goswell, dentistry isn’t just a career; it’s a calling that’s shaped his entire life. Surrounded by dentists in his family from a young age, he discovered early on how rewarding it could be to work closely with others, combining technical skill with a desire to help. As a child, he was always building models—mostly planes, rockets and spacecraft, anything intricate and hands-on. That same focus and attention to detail now guide his clinical work every single day.

After more than four decades in his chosen profession, this blend of precision and patient focus continues to drive his work.

A Career Built on Education, Skill and Integrity

Dr Tony completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Sydney in 1980, graduating with second-class honours. Never one to coast, he earned a Fellowship by examination with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 1987; a significant milestone reflecting years of disciplined effort and sharp clinical thinking.

He believes that staying sharp means always learning, which is why he continues to take continuing education courses and served as an examiner in general dentistry for the College. His approach is thoughtful, up-to-date, and always geared towards patient-first care.

Ahead of the Curve—From Fibre Optics to AI Diagnostics

Innovation isn’t just a buzzword at CDC Dental, it’s part of the everyday workflow. From adopting fibre optic tools in the 1980s to integrating digital X-rays and AI-powered tools like Pearl Second Opinion®, Dr Tony has consistently looked for ways to improve accuracy and patient communication.

He likens it to his love of space exploration – always looking forward, always asking what’s next. “To me, tech isn’t about flash,” he says. “It’s about making things clearer for patients and giving them confidence in what we’re doing together.”

Down-to-Earth Care With a Personal Touch

Even after 45 years, it’s the relationships that matter most to Dr Tony. Whether he’s helping someone understand their X-ray or catching up about their family or hobbies, he brings empathy, humour, and a calm presence to every appointment.

Outside the practice, you’ll find him staying active with his wife Prue – swimming, running, tennis – or spending time with their five grown-up kids. That same warmth and connection show up in every conversation at the clinic.
