Dr Danny Xue earned his BDS and Master of Dentistry at Griffith University, graduated in 2022 with an award for academic excellence, and moved to Toowoomba to join the Gentle Dental team shortly after.

As part of his commitment to professional development, Danny is currently pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Clear Aligner Therapy, and he holds a Graduate Diploma of Aesthetic Orthodontics (Sequential Aligners Therapy) from City of London Dental School/Bolton's University.

Positive experiences with his childhood dentist inspired Danny to pursue dentistry and offer the same calming experience to others. With his kind and caring demeanour, Danny easily connects with his patients to create a sense of safety and trust.

Having previously resided solely on the Gold Coast, Danny appreciates the slower pace of life in Toowoomba, and loves how friendly the people are here. With that said, he’s somewhat of an adventure-seeker. Danny has travelled to over 10 countries (Canada was his favourite) and he once swam with sharks in Hawaii—without a cage!!
