Meet the Team at Brunswick Dental Group

Dr. Jim Yannopoulos earned his Bachelor of Dental Science from the University of Melbourne in 1987. He began his career at Brunswick Dental Group and has remained there ever since, becoming the owner in 1991. 

Dr. Yannopoulos particularly enjoys treating his orthodontic patients with either braces or Invisalign as he gets to go on the journey of transforming his patients smiles and building a long-lasting relationship with them and the Brunswick community. Committed to ongoing education, Dr. Yannopoulos is a member of the Australian Dental Association, the Australian Osseointegration Society, the Australian Endodontic Society, and the Melbourne Seattle Study Club. 

Family is central to his life. His eldest daughter, Katherine, followed in his footsteps, joining Brunswick Dental Group as a dentist in 2022. His younger daughter, Anastasia, is a lawyer based in Cambridge, England, like her mother.

Outside of dentistry, Jim is a passionate Collingwood supporter, a devoted Led Zeppelin fan, and enjoys live theatre and music with his wife. He also loves walking their Cavoodle, Ziggy.

Since graduating from Sydney, Daniel has worked in various dental environments, including public, corporate, and private dentistry. He has worked in a hospital setting, supervised students, worked as an associate in group practices in Australia and the UK, and as a principal dentist for a corporation in the UK.

Daniel takes pride in his dentistry and strongly believes in continuing education. He has completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 implant accreditation with the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry. He has also completed an Implantology Fellowship at the University of Miami. Daniel has also completed a long course in Orthodontics and can straighten your teeth with conventional braces or Invisalign. He is also a Fellow at the International College of Continuing Dental Education.

In the little spare time he has between raising two boys (and two cats) and helping patients, Daniel loves a nice meal out (especially omakase) and travels when he can. To stay sane, he hits the gym and practises drumming and archery.

Dr Eden Ambrose relocated to Melbourne in 2019 after working in Hobart, Tasmania, for just over 2 years. With experience in both private and public dentistry Eden has strong ethical values and is motivated to deliver patient centred care to the highest standard, attending ongoing professional development to maintain the most up to date clinical practice.

In 2017, Eden was invited to present his research at the 14th National Rural Health Conference on oral health literacy and preventative dentistry – an area of dentistry he is very passionate about. While enjoying all aspects of general dentistry, Eden is particularly interested in aesthetic restorative dentistry for the skill and artistry involved as well as the positive impact it can have on a patient’s quality of life.

Dr Jun Hyun Kim graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science degree from the University of Melbourne in 2007. He has a strong passion for dentistry and particularly enjoys Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry and Oral Surgery. He continues to receive professional training to gain further up-to-date dental knowledge and skills. Dr Jun provides high quality treatment as his first priority and greatly enjoys seeing patients of all nationalities, both the old and the young. He treats them with care and patience, and provides thorough explanations, in order to ensure his patients’ needs and comfort.

Dr. Katherine Yannopoulos graduated from the University of Melbourne with a postgraduate Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and a Bachelor of Biomedicine degree. Upon graduating, Katherine worked in regional Victoria before returning to Melbourne to join her family’s business. Katherine has a warm and gentle approach to her dentistry, and prides herself on providing patient-centred care. Katherine understands that patients can be apprehensive, and it brings her joy to be told that she has put someone at ease for the first time in the dental chair. Katherine enjoys all areas of general dentistry, in particular preventative, paediatric and restorative care. Outside of the clinic, Katherine spends her time trying new restaurants, attending reformer pilates classes and playing piano. She also dotes on her two spoiled cats – Gatsby and Zelda.
