The BOH Story    
  We are often asked why we are called BOH Dental.  The BOH name comes from the initials of the surnames of each of our founding dentists Dr Keith Francis Brain, Dr John Vincent O'Brien and Dr Richard William Holzgrefe. Originally these dentists operated solo dental practices in the Brisbane central business district.  On 1 April 1976 the dentists joined their expertise to form one of the largest dental practices in Brisbane, BOH Dental Group.  It was located on the 5th Floor of the Commonwealth Bank Building, King George Square, Brisbane.
Today BOH Dental Group is known as BOH Dental and the Practice has grown quite significantly since its inception in 1976.  We now have eight dentists, a hygienist and a significant number of nurses and auxillary staff and occupy the 12th and 11th Floors of King George Tower.
