About Dr Andrew Bachour

Biography

A curious, holistic approach to health

Dr Andrew Bachour is a compassionate dentist with a special interest in airway health, craniofacial pain, TMJ disorders and sleep-related breathing disorders, with a focus on understanding the deeper connections between breathing, growth and development, pain and overall health.

Andrew graduated from Dentistry with Honours in 2006 and holds master's degrees in both Sleep Medicine and in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics. A passionate lifelong learner, he is committed to a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to healthcare and is currently undertaking two additional master's degrees in Acupuncture and in Orofacial Pain. He has been awarded a Fellowship in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, and is a Fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy and the International Academy for Dental-Facial Esthetics.

Andrew is focused on holistic patient care, recognising that every system forms part of a much larger whole. He aims to address the underlying cause of problems rather than taking a symptom-focused approach. To support this, he has undertaken diverse training, including certification from the Australian Medical Acupuncture College, certification in the Buteyko Breathing Method and qualifications in hypnotherapy.

Andrew is grateful for the opportunity to give back what he has learnt through teaching. Beyond dentistry, he has a deep curiosity about the natural world and the universe, and holds a Master's degree with Distinction in Astrophysics, reflecting his belief that the pursuit of knowledge across disciplines enriches both science and healthcare.
