Fantastic experience: I had a really positive experience here. The receptionist, Mabel, was so lovely and welcoming, which made me feel at ease straight away. Dr Karandeep was fantastic – she took the time to carefully shape and perfect my front tooth after a filling, and I really appreciate the attention to detail. Great service from start to finish!

Fantastic experience: After years of delaying a dental checkup, I decided to finally look for a dentist nearby and ended up booking an appointment with Dr Aksheep Gill. From the moment you sit in her chair, she makes you feel as if you're right at home as she has a very gentle and caring nature. Dr Aksheep is very precise and efficient with her tooth fillings, as I felt minimal discomfort during the multiple visits. Dr Ash did my fillings so well, I ended up booking more appointments to fix up another area of my teeth with composite veneers in which she did an even better job on. The reception staff are always warm and welcoming, especially Sergie on each visit. Would highly recommend Dr Aksheep Gill if you need any dental work done in Moonee Ponds.

Fantastic experience: I came in for a wisdom tooth extraction I have quite severe anxiety and so was really nervous before the procedure but the team at the dental suite took really good care of me particularly Dr Paladugu. She was amazing and made me feel relaxed and sure I knew how to take care of the wound afterwards. I was allowed to use headphones and bring my partner in with me as well which was great. If you need this procedure done I would highly recommend this practice as I don’t think it would be so easy without their help

Fantastic experience: We visited Dr Karan after my 2.5 year old daughter had a fall and hit her mouth. The doctor was incredibly patient and took utmost care to carefully check her teeth while keeping her calm and comfortable throughout. It is not easy to examine a toddler, especially after a scary experience but she made it feel very effortless. My daughter has ever since always been comfortable with her on our subsequent visits. She truly cares about her patients. Would highly recommend her.

Negative experience: I booked for a check up for my daughter and they added extra on the bill that I did not ask for .....they did not even ask if I wanted a clean they just did it and charged me. They just wanted to squeeze as much money in the frist visit as possible. They charge me $200 for a 15min of not much work just talking and a clean i did not ask for. Never going there again. Rip off.

Fantastic experience: I visited Dr. Karan at Primary Dental in Moone Ponds last month for a filling, and I have to say that it was a great experience. As someone who typically gets nervous at the dentist, I appreciated how professional and friendly Dr. Karan was. She had a calming presence and was very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the procedure. Her attention to detail and gentle approach made me feel at ease throughout the entire visit. And the best part? The filling has been perfect ever since! I'm really happy with the outcome and the quality of care I received at Primary Dental. If you're in the Moone Ponds area and looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Karan and her team at Primary Dental.

Fantastic experience: Just went in for the first time today, and I am pleased to say they exceeded my expectations. I thought I would go in for a chat, and have to rebook. But they had a look, took into account my financial situatiob and the fact that I am currently seeking employment and took action (even just a temp fix). The whole team was helpful and made me very comfortable!!!

Mark Campbell 8 years ago

Negative experience: This place is terrible. We booked an appointment for a child on an $89.00 special that included check up, clean and x-rays. Child was in the chair for less than 10 mins, no x-rays and they tried to charge $189. Finally convinced them that we booked under a special and they just took what Medibank Private would pay ($86.80). Avoid!!
