About Us

Dr Heena Harsora

Principal Dentist

Greetings, I’m Heena, a seasoned general dental practitioner with over a decade of professional experience. My journey in the dental profession commenced in 2007 upon graduating from Dental School, encompassing various facets of dental practice, alongside my role as a clinical demonstrator for final year DDS and OHT students in Melbourne.

After over 12 fulfilling years in Melbourne, I embarked on a new chapter in Brisbane, captivated by the tranquility and simplicity that Wynnum offered. Dentistry has always been my unwavering passion, and I continue to evolve in this field with each passing day. Building genuine connections with my patients is what drives me, guiding them through an array of treatment options and empowering them to make informed decisions for superior oral health and the radiant smiles they’ve envisioned.

While I hold a profound appreciation for all aspects of dentistry, my expertise truly shines in preventive care, restorative procedures, and the art of crafting new smiles through techniques like veneers, crowns, and bridges.

Beyond the dental chair, I find joy in spending quality time with my family, expressing my artistic side through Bollywood dancing, unwinding on the beach, and losing myself in the soothing melodies of ocean waves. If you ever hear a faint hum while I’m focused, know that it’s just me in my element.

Kudos to you for upholding high standards for your oral health!

Dr Raghed Bashour

I find many small things add to a great sum which makes Dentistry unique and enjoyable. Dentistry is becoming more and more fascinating as digital technologies and equipment revolution gives us new tools and innovations. These new aspects of dentistry allow us to create amazing aesthetics and functional long-lasting results. It is truly becoming an art discipline.”

“It’s the eyes and the smile that speak to us,” says Dr Bashour. “When we smile, they both light up, and that’s why I enjoy doing a smile and mouth rehabilitation using modern technology like Digital Smile Design, lasers, 3D x-rays, and digital scans. These treatments can be done with veneers, crowns or implants to restore the function and aesthetic appearance of the teeth,” he says

Growing up in Dubai, Raghed graduated as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2010, and continued taking educational courses in many fields, especially Dental Implants, Aesthetic Dentistry and Laser Dentistry. He completed his implant training with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) in 2013, and continued the Academy examinations to become an Associate Fellow in 2016.

Dentistry has the ability to change someone’s life and helping to achieve these results with his patients is something Dr Bashour enjoys most. The journey also allows for professional relationships to be built and Dr Bashour thoroughly enjoys getting to know his patients.
