Dr. Tia Bai

I became a dentist because of the flexibility it offers and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. Dentistry is a balance of technical skill and personalised care, which allows me to help patients achieve healthy, functional smiles. 

What I love most about being a dentist is creating solutions that fit each patient’s unique circumstances while maintaining a work-life balance that allows me to spend quality time with my family. I focus on delivering care that prioritises both comfort and effectiveness, ensuring every patient feels valued and cared for. 

Dentistry isn’t just about fixing teeth—it’s about fostering trust and supporting patients in their journey to maintain lifelong oral health. My approach is simple yet impactful: do no harm, provide practical solutions, and take things one step at a time to ensure the best possible outcomes. 

How I stay healthy and happy 
I stay active with Pilates and regular walks, which help me recharge and stay energised. Spending quality time with my family and taking holidays are also essential to maintaining my happiness and balance.

How I maintain healthy teeth and gums 
Consistency is key! I brush and floss daily and make sure my oral hygiene routine is thorough and effective.

Essential tip to keep your teeth healthy 
Brushing and flossing are essential, but don’t forget regular dental check-ups to catch any potential issues early and keep your teeth in top condition.
