Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Dr Ruchi and the team at The Tooth Affair enough. I’m genuinely terrified of going to the dentist, but they were so kind and supportive and made me feel completely comfortable throughout my visit. The very best!!

Sam Pearsons 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: The best dentist in Albury/Wodonga. Dr Ruchi and her team are an absolute delight. Dr Ruchi is extremely patient and non judgmental and makes you feel like you are heard and mattered and is evident that she enjoys her line of work and really cares for her patients. Im someone who suffers from really bad dental phobia and had to get a wisdom tooth removed, the whole process was super simple and her skill is unmatched and Dr Ruchi made the entire thing less stressful and truly made me realise I was worrying for nothing. I couldn't recommend it more, thanks again guys!

Fantastic experience: Dr Ruchi is amazing!! Our son saw Dr Ruchi after breaking his teeth in a biking accident while we were on holiday - she approached his treatment with such care and kindness, immediately dispelling any previous dentist anxiety he had!! She was so knowledgeable and informative, and we left feeling very confident in the care our son received. What a gem! Thank you Dr Ruchi

Fantastic experience: Dr Ruchi takes such care to make any appointment as comfortable and stress free as possible. My husband says best dentist ever and a professional who genuinely cares about her patients.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ruchi at The Tooth Affair is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel truly welcome and completely at ease. Her kind and calming nature instantly puts you in a comfortable state, which is such a relief—especially if you’re usually nervous about dental visits. What sets Dr. Ruchi apart is her ability to clearly explain what she’s doing and why, every step of the way. That kind of transparency gives you real peace of mind and builds trust right away. Whether you’re dealing with dental issues or just in for a routine check-up, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Ruchi more highly. You’ll be in excellent hands at The Tooth Affair!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter broke her tooth on a Sunday night on a long weekend, the tooth affair were the emergency on call dentist for that time and I'm so glad that they were, my daughter is autistic and struggles in clinical settings but the dentist was magical, put her favourite YouTube channel on for her and was very attentive to her needs and what we needed done with the situation, I couldn't fault her. Fantastic service!

Fantastic experience: We came in today as my 5 year old needed some cavities filled. Was very uncertain how this would go as my son has never had dental work like this done before. The team at the tooth affair were amazing and made my son feel so comfortable and calm. The care and compassion shown to him was incredible. We have certainly found the right dentist and will not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I chose The Tooth Affair because of the positive reviews on their website and am so pleased I did. Everything about my experience was very positive. Ruchi kept me informed every step. She is a smiling, happy person whose attitude is infectious. It is not only Ruchi, however, but her staff as well. All so very well presented and so great to deal with from the wonderful Bernadette on reception to the lovely Letitia who was the dental nurse for most of my visits. If you are looking for a positive, calm, professional dental experience then look no further.

janelle Cowin 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Ruchi Chandra and her team - I was in need of some urgent dental work and the Community recommended The Tooth Affair as I have an irrational and debilitating fear of dentists. Once I met Ruchi and her wonderful staff, my fears to completely put to rest and she was able to help me. The whole experience and the outcome was so wonderful, I cannot say enough 'thank yous' - so highly recommended. Thank you so very much for taking care of me.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 At 57 years of age, Dr Ruchi actually listened to me and heard me. Dr Ruchi and the staff have been flexible, supportive, friendly, funny, compassionate - I just can't speak of them more highly. Conquering fear and coming out the other side with new teeth - improved confidence and feeling so much better within myself - thank you doesn't seem enough

Christine Hall 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ruchi is the most informative dentist I have ever had. I have had extractions, cleans, and referals to other specialists for specific jaw issues. She is the first dentist to notice and point out certain jaw issues that then helped me seek out solutions for my long term TMJ symptoms. Ruchi is open and honest, explains all procedures and is not quick to treat unecessarily. Genuinely from the heart and I never feel rushed.

Community an Families 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: From my initial consult, through extensive root canal treatment, Dr Ruchi, is so gentle, kind, calming and professional.

She explains the process and makes the procedure as comfortable as possible. I am extremely grateful for her very proficient skill and kind and considerate manner. Thank you so much !
