Alexandra Forbes
Full Adult Scope Oral Health Therapist
Alex Forbes is a dedicated oral health therapist with a passion for enhancing smiles and promoting overall well-being. After all, the mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body. Alex aims to support and enhance your oral health through compassionate care and expert advice.
She has a deep passion for preventative dentistry, which drives her to help patients maintain optimal oral hygiene and avoid more complex issues down the road. She believes that a proactive approach to dental care is key to ensuring long-term health and vitality for your smile. Alex's approach combines the latest in dental technology with a warm, patient-centred touch, ensuring that everyone who walks through the door feels valued and well-cared for.
One of her favourite aspects of dentistry is teeth whitening — finding it incredibly rewarding seeing the transformation in patients' confidence and happiness when they achieve a brighter, more radiant smile. Alex also has experience in Invisalign Aligners and works alongside our dentists to provide orthodontic care.
Outside the clinic, Alex enjoys long, leisurely lunches with friends. These gatherings are not only a joy but also a chance to unwind, share stories, and enjoy good food in great company. When she's not at work or enjoying a meal with friends, you can usually find her at the beach with her beloved cavoodle, Poppy. Either running along the shoreline or simply soaking up the sun, those moments with Poppy are some of her happiest.
Alex has full adult scope registration as an Oral Health Therapist, with a degree from Central Queensland University, and is available on Mondays and Tuesdays by appointment from 7am.

About Preventive Dentistry.
At Brisbane Smile Boutique, a preventive dental appointment starts with a warm welcome and review of your dental and medical history by Alex Forbes, the Oral Health Therapist. Alex carries out a comprehensive examination, often alongside Dr Leila Haywood or Dr Sabrina Ali, including dental x‑rays, assessment of your gums and bone levels, checks for decay, cracks, or issues with existing restorations, plus an oral cancer screening.
A professional clean follows—removing plaque, tartar (both above and below the gumline), polishing teeth, and addressing any surface stains. Throughout the appointment, Alex works with the dentists to discuss your home care routines, dietary habits, and risk factors like gum disease or cavities, then together they develop a tailored preventive plan. Finally, they schedule follow‑ups and maintenance visits to ensure your smile stays healthy and problems are caught early.
Refresh your smile with a professional scale and clean at Brisbane Smile Boutique. Our skilled team gently removes built-up plaque, tartar, and surface stains to restore a smooth, polished feel and help protect your long-term oral health.
Following your clean, you'll notice an immediate difference—not just in how your teeth look, but how fresh your whole mouth feels. It’s a simple, effective way to maintain your healthiest smile between check-ups.
