  I'm not a great dental patient but I got the poor teeth in my family so I spend quite a bit of time in the dentist chair. I have gone to Nicole for over 10 years now and we have built a strong relationship where she knows me, what makes me nervous, and how to help me stay calm. This has built a really strong foundation of trust in Nicole and her team for my whole family.

  Love this place!?! Best service from a dentist I’ve had in years the girls fixed my teeth up nicely. non judgemental positive environment also really went through with me and showed me the damage I had done and the next and best steps to keep my smile bright and beautiful and healthy. Was always abit scared of getting myself to the dentist would 100% go back here though.

  Dr Yuen is a lifesaver. I had been getting migraines and to think it came from my tooth. She provided emergency treatment and scheduled me back to ensure that it did not happen again.
She and her team provide holistic care for myself and my family.
My toddler was booked in and they were amazing! He was not scared at all and had so much fun in the dentist chair!
Thank you Yeronga Park!

  I saw Dr Elise for a checkup and clean, she was extremely professional and made me feel super comfortable. Would highly recommend Dr Elise for anyone who gets a little anxious when seeing the dentist!

  Dr Nicole is amazing. She is very gentle and spends the time to explain things throughly so I can understand everything that is going on during my appointment. She is calm and makes me feel at ease for being at the dentist. The practice staff are so lovely which makes such a difference to have such friendly receptionists and dental assistants. Overall a really great experience :-)
