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!
