Graduating with a dental degree from Indonesia in 2012, Dr. Bala further honed her skills through extensive training at the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne, culminating in the successful completion of the Australian Dental Council Examination in 2018.
With a commitment to a holistic approach to dentistry, Dr. Bala not only addresses dental issues but also endeavors to identify their root causes, preventing their recurrence. Her belief in patient education and care is unwavering, reflecting the philosophy encapsulated in the quote, “The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.”
Currently pursuing a Masters in Prosthodontics (Crowns and Bridges) at Griffith University, Dr. Bala’s enthusiasm spans various facets of dentistry. However, her true passion lies in full-mouth makeovers and smile design. She continuously hones her skills through numerous courses in Aesthetic Dentistry and Dental Sleep Medicine, aiming for perfection in her craft.

Jared Russell2026-03-24I’ve been coming here for over 4 years now and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Dr Astin Friskin has been absolutely incredible...professional, gentle, and genuinely caring. She always made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a huge difference. I now see Dr Nicole Yuen, and she has continued that same amazing level of care. She’s also incredibly open to feedback and genuinely wants to get everything right, even going out of her way to fix the smallest admin mishap. That level of care and accountability really stands out. Both dentists truly go above and beyond for their patients. What really stands out is how well they get to know you as a person. Even though you might only visit twice a year, they remember the small details about your life, which makes every appointment feel personal and welcoming. The reception team also deserves a special mention. They go out of their way to make every visit feel 5 star. It’s such a nice touch being welcomed by name by each receptionist, even those who weren’t at the desk when you first arrived. Their communication is fantastic, their care is genuine, and the whole experience is always positive. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough!Joseph Rivera2026-03-13Had my first appointment at this clinic today. The end-to-end care was spot on - clear explanations, solid action plan and really great communication. Just got a root canal done and Dr Nicole Y and she completely eased my nerves and concerns. Pain management was exceptional - she checked in the whole way through and made sure I was comfortable at every step. Top-tier patient care from start to finish - even adjusting the air temp to suit my needs. Highly recommend.Denise Goulding2026-03-07Had a great experience today. Dr Suzy was attentive and did a great job cleaning my teeth and gave me good advice. Sarah did a good job assisting and Tatiana on the reception was kind and considerate. Yeronga Park Dental great place to get your oral health taken care of.Anna Huynh2026-02-06Dr 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!Joseph Jou2026-02-05Dr Suzy is awesome.Nick Cubit2026-01-30Dr Suzy Koh was very polite, friendly and professional.
