Meet Your Principal Dentist: Dr. Zohal Azami

Dr Zohal Azami didn’t arrive in dentistry by accident. Before stepping into clinical practice, she taught Human Anatomy at the University of Queensland, building the deep medical foundation that now shapes how she treats every patient at Significant Smiles, her boutique Albert Street practice in the heart of the Brisbane CBD.

After completing her Bachelor of Oral Health and Graduate Diploma in Dentistry at Griffith University, Dr Zohal worked across rural Queensland, including Cherbourg, and volunteered internationally in communities with limited access to dental care. Those experiences changed how she practises dentistry. For her, treatment isn’t just technical, it’s personal.

Patients often tell us the same thing: they feel calm here. Dr Zohal has a rare ability to ease dental anxiety, taking the time to explain options clearly and tailor treatment to busy professionals who want exceptional care without stress or pressure.

She continues advanced training with global leaders in modern dentistry, ensuring patients receive contemporary, evidence-based treatment delivered with precision and genuine care.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find her with family, planning the next conference, or grabbing coffee near the water with Adora, her adorable Cavoodle.

Dental Treatment

Our Philosophy: Modern Dentistry, Human Connection

Dentistry should feel different when it’s done properly. At Significant Smiles on Albert Street, we’ve built a boutique Brisbane CBD practice designed for people who value both their health and their time.

We’re not a high-volume corporate clinic, and that’s intentional. Appointments aren’t rushed. We listen first, explain clearly, and create treatment plans that support long-term oral health while helping you feel confident in your smile at work and in life.

Technology plays a role, but it’s never the whole story. Digital scanners, 3D imaging and gentle sedation options allow us to diagnose accurately and treat comfortably, reducing uncertainty and dental anxiety along the way. The goal is simple: precise dentistry delivered in a calm, supportive environment.

Many Brisbane City professionals choose Significant Smiles because they want care that feels personal, discreet and clinically excellent. Modern dentistry shouldn’t feel clinical or impersonal; it should feel considered, reassuring, and tailored to you.
