Dr Thomas Ball
BDSc (QLD)
After over 40 years of dedicated service to the Corinda community, our much-loved dentist, Dr Thomas Ball, has retired from Corinda Dental Centre due to unforeseen health reasons. This decision has not come easily, as Dr Ball has always felt a deep connection to his patients, many of whom he has cared for across generations.
While we are saddened by his departure, we are also incredibly grateful for the trust and loyalty you have shown Dr Ball over the years. He has asked us to pass on his sincerest thanks to each of you — it has been one of his life’s greatest privileges to serve this community.
Please rest assured that your care will continue seamlessly. Our team remains committed to the same high standard of care you’ve come to expect, and we are here to support you through this transition. As such, Dr Ball’s niece, Dr Pip Bennett as well as Drs Lawrence Burke and Jungin Park will be making it their priority to ensure all of Dr Ball’s patients are feeling cared for.
