Dr Anthony McNaught graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Dental Science in 1988. Anthony worked in general practice in Australia and the United Kingdom for nine years where he developed an interest in Endodontics and caring for people in pain and often distress. In 1997, he commenced a Masters of Science and a Certificate of Endodontics at Baylor College of Dentistry, Dallas, Texas (United States) under the supervision of Emeritus Professor James Gutmann, a pre-eminent educator in the field of Endodontics, and graduated in 2000. He then passed the US National Board Exams and Texas Clinical Board Exam and practiced in Dallas for three years before moving back to Brisbane with his young family. He set up Endodontics West in 2003 and, since then, has cared for over 10,000 patients.

When Anthony isn't doing root canal treatments he enjoys playing golf, making excellent coffee and spending time with his family and Murphy, the family dog.

Dr Konna Chakravarty grew up in South East Queensland, completing her schooling here

before moving to Victoria where she graduated from La Trobe University with a dual

Bachelor of Health Sciences in Dentistry and Masters of Dentistry in 2019. Following

graduation, she gained broad clinical experience as a hospital dentist in Rockhampton

before transitioning into private practice on the Gold Coast.

Konna completed her specialist training in Endodontics through the Doctor of Clinical

Dentistry program at the University of Queensland. Her research focuses on biocompatible

endodontic materials used during root canal treatment and in particular, looking at the

interface between tooth structure and root canal sealing materials with micro x-ray

diffraction. She remains actively involved in academia and currently teaches both

undergraduate and postgraduate dentistry students at the University of Queensland.

Dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate patient care, Konna has a strong interest in

managing complex endodontic cases, trauma and applying contemporary non-surgical and

microsurgical techniques to preserve patients’ natural teeth.

Outside of dentistry, Konna can be found spending time with her family (and dog) or on her

bike. She is an enthusiastic triathlete and recently represented Australia as an age-group

athlete at the Triathlon World Championships in Wollongong 2025.
