Dr. Aakriti Bhola

Associate Dentist

Dr Aakriti Bhola has been practising as a dentist for nearly thirteen years. Since graduating from the University of Adelaide, she has worked in private practices across Hobart, Melbourne and Sydney.

Being a Hobart local, she returned here after completing her degree to work for a few years. Marriage took her to Sydney for a little while, and then a baby prompted the move back home, where she joined the Dental on Gregory family!

Having worked for over a decade, she is proficient in most areas of general dentistry. She has a special interest in periodontics (gum care), Invisalign and cosmetic procedures - helping someone achieve a smile they can be proud of is what really drives her.

Being up to date with the latest dental technology is very important to her and she regularly attends professional development courses. Dr. Bhola understands that visiting the dentist can be a nerve racking experience, and her goal is to ensure that all her patients receive high quality dental treatment in a relaxed atmosphere.

Dr. Bhola has volunteered her services in Fiji- as part of a medical and dental team. She spent three weeks travelling around remote areas in Fiji, providing dental care to those needing it most.

In her leisure time, when she isn't kept busy trying to keep up with her very active toddler, Dr. Bhola enjoys trying her hand at recipes of various cuisines.

Dr. Yuen Zhu

Associate Dentist  (朱于恩醫生)(牙醫)

Dr Yuen Zhu has been a practising dentist for almost 8 years, the last 7 of which has been spent in Hobart.

Born in Shanghai, he moved to Melbourne with his family when he was only 6 years old. He spent his childhood and all his schooling years in Melbourne, ultimately graduating from the University of Melbourne in 2012. Dr Zhu has always been passionate about helping people solve problems and has a natural drive to “fix” things, which is why he decided to pursue a career in Dentistry, a career he thought would be a good hands-on mix of both.

Dr Yuen Zhu moved to Hobart in 2014, a place he now calls home.

Yuen’s approach towards dentistry is patient-focused, and about getting to the root of the problem – not just patching things up. This includes a strong emphasis on patient education, and focusing on the way our oral health is connected to our general and mental health and well-being.

In his spare time, Yuen likes to bake and play board games with close friends, and spends most weekends at the Badminton centre in South Hobart having a hit. When the Tassie weather permits, and when the water is not too cold, he has also recently been introduced to the wonders of scuba diving and fishing, and endeavours to get out to the water as often as he can
