To Sabrina, the most fulfilling part of being a dentist is meeting new people and forming genuine connections with her patients. A great supportive listener, she strives to fully understand each individual’s concerns and expectations, ensuring each treatment plan meets their specific needs. With her calming and empathetic nature, she works to create a safe, positive space, helping patients feel at ease as she works to keep their pearly whites gleaming.

Before pursuing dentistry, Dr Sujak Bakir worked as a firefighter. His time in emergency services strengthened his ability to communicate clearly under pressure, perform with precision, and provide compassionate support in challenging situations. Dentistry offered the opportunity to bring these qualities into a career that combines clinical skill, preventive healthcare and the chance to build meaningful long-term relationships with patients.
Dr Sujak Bakir is motivated by the opportunity to improve both oral health and overall wellbeing, and to help patients get out of pain and move forward with confidence. What he values most is continuity of care. He takes genuine satisfaction in seeing patients over many years, being present for the different milestones in their lives and remaining a consistent part of their dental journey.
He brings clear communication, meticulous attention to detail and a patient-centred approach to every appointment. His goal is to build lasting relationships based on trust, and to create a relaxed and supportive environment where patients feel comfortable raising their concerns and confident in their treatment decisions.
Shika understands there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to dentistry. She spends plenty of time hearing each patient’s concerns, creating a judgement-free space for each individual to ask questions and share their past experiences. Shika finds it especially rewarding to work with those who are anxious about their dental appointments, and her gentle and calming nature makes her a natural at helping people feel at ease.
When she’s not at the clinic, Shika cherishes the time she spends with her three daughters. She also loves exploring new places, and is an avid traveller and hiker.
Today, with a decade of dentistry experience spanning public health, private practice and mobile dentistry, Shugufa understands that each person has unique needs. To this end, she rejects a one-size-fits-all approach, working hard to meet individual needs whether in Pashtu or English. With her warm, bubbly nature, she strives to help each patient feel at ease, always creating a non-judgmental environment. Nothing warms Shugufa’s heart like seeing her patients smile, knowing that she can be part of their oral health journeys.
In her own time, Shugufa is a self-proclaimed baking enthusiast, and loves to spend time in the kitchen cooking up a storm. When she’s out and about, she’s usually fuelling her love of coffee and exploring Melbourne's vibrant café scene.
