When you meet Dr Angela Aristizábal Merlano, you'll immediately notice two things: her brilliant expertise and her equally brilliant smile. With over 12 years of clinical experience, she brings both technical excellence and genuine compassion to our Dental Fresh family in Bondi Junction.
Your Smile Journey with Dr Angela
Dr Angela Aristizabal Merlano believes that understanding your unique dental story is just as important as providing exceptional treatment. Her patient-centred approach means you’ll never feel rushed during appointments. Instead, you’ll experience what truly personalised dental care feels like—where your concerns are heard, your questions are welcomed, and your comfort is prioritised.
“I see each smile as unique as the person behind it,” says Dr Angela. “My greatest joy comes from helping patients transform not just their dental health, but often their confidence and wellbeing too.”
Education That Shines
Dr Angela’s academic journey reflects her commitment to excellence. After graduating with honours from Colombia’s prestigious Universidad Nacional in 2010, she pursued specialisation in Aesthetic Dental Operative in 2012. Her outstanding academic performance earned her multiple scholarships and recognition.
In 2025, the Australian Dental Council awarded Dr Angela Aristizábal Merlano full accreditation, bringing her wealth of international perspective to our Bondi Junction community.

Speaking fluent Spanish and proficient English, Dr Angela connects with families from diverse backgrounds across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
Her focus on thorough diagnosis, patient education, and preventative care aligns perfectly with the Australian Dental Association’s “S-milestone” approach, helping children reach every important oral health milestone from their first tooth through adolescence.

Beyond the Dental Chair
When she’s not transforming smiles, Dr Angela embraces life with the same enthusiasm she brings to her practice. You might spot her rollerblading through Sydney’s parks, hiking, bushwalking or enjoying a picnic with her family on beaches or in National parks, capturing moments through her camera lens, or dancing to Latin rhythms. Her fluency in Spanish, English, and basic French reflects her passion for connecting with people from all walks of life.
