Dr Nicola Hulme-Peake, BDS

Dentist

Toowoomba family dentist Dr Nicola has over 30 years of experience in dentistry. In 1991, she graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Dundee Dental School at Dundee University in Scotland. Her unrivalled passion for dentistry led her to graduate at the top of her class. 

From a very young age, Dr Nicola was fascinated with dentistry and strongly desired to provide as much care to others as possible. Thus, it came as no surprise that she embarked on a career in this industry. Dentistry even allowed Dr Nicola to pursue her additional love of travel, bringing her all the way from Scotland to Australia, a country she has been proud to call home since 1995.

Dr Nicola is committed to continuing postgraduate education and completed her Fellowship of the International College of Continuing Dental Education in 2014. She is always looking for ways to improve herself and her practice so that she can give her patients the best dental care she can offer. 

A Holistic Approach to Dental Care

Tired of the ‘walk-in-walk-out’ nature of some dental practices, Dr Nicola takes a holistic approach to dental care, placing the utmost importance on prevention and whole-mouth health. At Pure Dental Toowoomba, she takes a genuine interest in her patients and communicates effectively with them to develop a personalised treatment plan that suits their needs.

Concentrating on a patient's long-term health not only leads to better health and well-being but also lowers the risk of emergency treatment in the future.

Her Favourite Thing About Being a Dentist

Dr Nicola’s most rewarding aspect of being a family dentist is the noticeable difference she makes to her patient’s lives. She loves helping her patients achieve a smile they’re confident with, as well as the positive effect this has on their lives, improving their overall health and well-being.

For Dr Nicola, dentistry is more than just an occupation. “I love what I do and am passionate about providing high-quality dentistry in a caring environment.”

Outside of Work

Family is everything to Dr Nicola and both her overseas and Australian families know how loved they are. This does, however, sometimes means there are crazy short trips back to the UK for a loved one’s birthday, etc!

Dr Nicola is well known and respected within our Toowoomba community and has a wide circle of friends from all walks of life. 

As most of her patients and staff know, exercise is essential for Dr Nicola as it impacts her physical and mental health, combating the stress of her career and business ownership. This allows her to keep healthy with an optimistic approach to life, which she brings to work, positively impacting her staff and patients. One of Dr Nicola’s goals this year is to learn to play the piano, something she has longed to do since she was ten years old!
