Dr Rajani Koirala – Dentist
Dr. Koirala chose dentistry as a profession after having a bad dental experience as a child. She completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh before undertaking further studies to obtain her master’s degree in Orthodontics.
After migrating to Australia from Nepal in 2010, Dr Koirala did further training at the Royal Dental Hospital in Melbourne.
Dr Koirala enjoys all aspects of dentistry especially when the esthetic outcome makes the patient happy.
If Dr. Koirala had not become a dentist, she would have become an accountant.
Dr. Koirala’s ideal weekend is spending time with family, watching Food Safari, and listening to Jazz or Ed Sheeran.
Dr Yohan Thomas – Consultant Specialist Prosthodontist
A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in the field of dentistry that relates to rebuilding natural teeth and restoring missing teeth with prosthetic replacements. This may involve a routine procedure such as making a crown for a damaged tooth or it could involve more complex procedures, such as full mouth reconstruction or extensively damaged dentitions involving the use of veneers, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
A Prosthodontist is responsible for executing those treatments, as well as coordinating treatment that may be required by other specialists.
Several years of specialist training and recognition by the Dental Board of Australia as a Specialist in Prosthodontics places Dr. Thomas in the optimal position to manage the more challenging cases such as those with significant functional or aesthetic problems.
If you are contemplating dental treatment that requires the use of dental implants, the extensive use of veneers as part of a ‘Smile Makeover’ and treatment that involves major changes of the dentition, seek the advice of Dr. Thomas in order to obtain the most appropriate, comprehensive and individual tailored solution to your dental needs.
