Gungahlin Family Dental

I hadn't seen an Australian dentist for 14 years due to a bad experience and severe anxiety. I expressed these concerns during my consultation with Dr Bhanu Shamdasani, who took this onboard and ensured during my following appointments I was comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and ensured I was okay throughout the process. I will continue to see Dr Bhanu and strongly recommend his services.

As a new patient I was impressed with the attention to detail in the examination done by Dr Saranya.As she went, she explained what she was doing, checked in on my comfort and explained my options. Even helped release jaw tension from grinding, instead of only giving a retainer.All staff I met there were lovely and the place was calm, neat and tidy, while still welcoming. Would highly recommend.

After being completely let down by my dentist of many years, I attended this practice as an emergency patient and experienced the most relaxed and competent dentist, Dr Bhanu. Dr Bhanu performed an emergency root canal which was totally painless and stress free. He made me feel at ease with the procedure and why it was required. I have now transferred my entire family, aged 10-73, to this practice. I would 100% recommend Dr Bhanu to anyone looking for a kind and compassionate dentist.

The most welcoming dental surgery that I’ve been to. Dr Bhanu has been fantastic and my children actually want to see the dentist!Very impressed and highly recommend this practice.

Went in for a wisdom tooth removal. All went well initially staff were nice and the dentist professional. Two days after extraction a nasty infection set in. GP prescribed antibiotics but unfortunately I ended up in hospital. Results of a CT scan showed a none so small shard of tooth wasn't removed and subsequently stitched up inside the extraction. The infection caused by this required 3 days hospitalisation and emergency surgery, it will still be several months before I get full use of my jaw back. Certainly wont ever be returning or recommending this dentist. If I had the time and energy I would be fighting to get part of the over $700 it cost to have the 1 tooth partially removed.On another note; never got the follow up call as part of the after care. I did get a follow up call after notifying reception that I was going to hospital during which they stated they would touch base again soon, which has not happened.

The whole team there made me feel at home and eased me through my whole consultation. I cannot stress enough about how easily Dr. Bhanu calmed my nerves explained the situation and walked me through my treatment plan. He very patiently gave answers to all my questions and gave me detailed explanations.Highly recommend their service!

I'm scared of the dentist, however Dr Vamsi and the team were absolutely amazing! Very professional and caring of all patients needs!I've finally found a dentist I can be happy with, gentle and understanding!Going from scared of getting 2 wisdom teeth removed to being excited for the other 2 to be removed is a great feeling and goes to show the team is amazing and does wonders.Thank you all!

Tldr: An excellent dental care provider with friendly and professional staff, great location for North Canberra residents, Defence Health registered provider, and Bhanu is a great dentist 10/10Long review: After deciding to visit a dentist for the first time since university (around 7yrs), I was not sure what to expect. Thankfully, after finishing my waiting period for my private health cover, I Googled and came across Gungahlin Family Dental. I booked an initial appointment with Bhanu Shamdasani and, aside from the usual check-up and clean, he took the additional time to check all of my teeth in detail and talk me through a proposed treatment plan for a few issues.The staff were able to answer all of my questions and quote me on the gap payment for my treatment plan. What's more, during my 3rd visit, when one of my teeth required a more expensive treatment than I was initially quoted for, they offered to do it at no extra charge - extremely professional! The quality of the fillings has been great so far - Iam glad to have found them and look forward to my regular check-ups.Also, the staff are super friendly and love to have a good yarn about the day, the weekend, or common hobbies/interests.

Escorted my friend to an appointment here, and while waiting with them, witnessed severe workplace bullying by management to the receptionist on shift.This happened in front of me and other patients, she was also harassed and belittled while on the phone to another patient. Very uncomfortable, unprofessional and immature.Disgusting behaviour from the staff and management to their fellow colleagues.
