Meet Dr. Banu Bala, a dedicated dental professional originally from Malaysia but made the move to Australia in 2018. 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.

  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!

  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 :-)
