James always looked up to his grandfather, Dr. Bryan Digges, and wanted to become a dentist from a young age. James graduated from a Bachelor of Pharmacy before completing his post-graduate degree in Dentistry from the University of Sydney. He has made several trips abroad, volunteering in Timor-Leste with the National Dental Foundation, as well as participating in their local volunteer program.
Most recently, James has completed the Graduate Diploma in Dental Implants from the University of Sydney, receiving passes with High Distinction.
James enjoys the variety of practicing general dentistry, meeting new people and getting to know his patients. He has worked to develop skills in providing wisdom tooth removal, dental implants and root canal therapy.
James has a warm and gentle manner, which helps make nervous patients more comfortable in the dental setting. He also has a good working relationship with local dentists and dental specialists, so that his patients receive the highest level of care.
When not working, James can be found swinging a golf club, or swimming laps in the ocean to keep fit. He is a devoted husband to his wife Mikaela (also a dentist) and father to his baby girl, Pia.
Highly skilled and caring staff that provides very good service

Dental Avenue is the best dental practice I have ever been too. Everything about the experience is amazing, from the lovely front reception plus the nurses and dentists.
Top tip, if you are looking for the most caring, gentle and just all round great human, Dr Edward Chin is an amazing dentist.
Myself and my two children see him and he’s so wonderful with the kids. I also had to have an intense extraction and he was the best.
1000% recommend. Bonus - There is also free parking across the road.

Dr Ed Chin and the whole team at Dental Avenue Maroubra delivers a positive dental experience for my daughter who is so scared of the dentist. Dr Chin is professional and highly skilled. He is passionate about his job and our family’s oral health has been well taken care of by the whole team at Dental Avenue Maroubra.
