DR MIRANDA SAGEMAN

Dentist & Practice Owner / Principal

With a tendency to shy away from the limelight and play down her strengths, Miranda is a steady and experienced hand in our practice.

Miranda completed her studies at the University of Sydney in 1990.

DR JESSE GREEN

Dentist & Practice Owner / Principal

Qualifying as a dentist in 1994, Dr Jesse is Bespoke Dental’s co-founder. It is no understatement to say Jesse is a details man. Talk about sweating the small stuff, Jesse has microscopic vision for anything he thinks will make Bespoke Dental better.

Known for his single-minded preoccupation with the finessing of details, he’s deftly balances this with communication skills known to exceed any expectation you may ever have about a dentist. He listens to what you say; he hears what you don’t say.

His greatest joy in dental practice? Formulating a treatment plan that will deliver to his patient exactly what they need. He works from the premise that sound advice helps people make wise decisions.

A genuine cricket tragic (a fact made all the more heartbreaking due to his acute lack of talent),Dr Jesse is also known for his ability to turn every process into a model and his keen desire to see others become the best version of themselves.

Understanding dental anxiety is something I can personally relate to, particularly since I was afraid of the dentist as a child. Now that I think about it, it’s a little bit funny that I ended up in this profession!” ~Pete
