Over 20+ years of experience

After completing her degree at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002, she spent her early years in service to the public; working in both hospital and community practices in rural South Africa as well as in private practice before migrating to the UK. With a passion for prevention, she has received recognition in both these countries for instituting dental health education workshops in underprivileged and lower socio-economic areas.

In 2007 she migrated to Australia and Dr Shahana became passionate about giving back; she does everything possible to motivate towards the understanding of prevention, and a better standard of dental health. It is this passion for dentistry that lead her to teaching; she has taught dental students at Universities in South Africa, the UK and is currently teaching dental students at Griffith University on the Gold Coast.

  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 :-)
