How cheeky came to be

We’re Dr Michelle and Renee – we’ve known each other for more than a decade and we’ve been banging-on about the concept of ‘Cheeky’ for just as long.

In 2024 we did it – we executed our vision to create a clinic that is literally not like any other (despite what they alllllll say).

Our brief basically was: going to the dentist shouldn’t be stressful or boring – so let’s make a clinic that is everything a dentist should be – but make it FUN!
(We obvs. fleshed this out a little bit more in the biz plan, don’t worry.)

The cheeky team

FYI – we’ve written each other’s bios. Jeffrey didn’t contribute though. Slack.

Dr Michelle Pinto
Co-founder and Principal Dentist

Dentistry isn’t just about the way you look, it’s also about how you feel. Dr Michelle has always believed this, and is here to help you feel good about your smile. Originally hailing from Brazil – smiling is essential to their culture – she loves dancing, meeting new people and just enjoying life. She brings the great vibes always, and a beautiful smile, 24/7.

Renee Phillips
Co-founder and other non-clinical things

A dental stalwart (who hates the word stalwart - ick) who’s been in ‘the biz’ for more than 30 years. Working across all areas in the dental industry from dental technician to sales and marketing, it’s always been Renee’s dream to open a clinic that’s ‘for the people’, implementing all the good stuff she’s seen over her (many, many… - alright, c’mon!) years, and leaving out the bad.

Gabi Catuzzo
Dental Assistant extraordinaire

The ying to Dr Michelle’s yang. Gabi’s experience, care for her patients and ability to put up with Dr Michelle’s jokes, day-in-day-out, make her indispensable. Gabi’s been with us from day dot, and we couldn’t do without her (or her excellent cooking).

Jeffrey
Renee’s dog

Contributes absolutely nothing to the running of the day-to-day business and likes it that way. Not even able to be our therapy dog because he’s a super anxious rescue (who actually has therapy). We support the Sydney Dog & Cats home by regularly contributing funds (and adopting the dogs nobody else will).

Alright Five Dock –
come sit with us!

The chair is super comfy, and the good vibes are waiting.
