I had a really positive experience at Yarralumla Dental Care. I went in to get my separators put in and a teeth cleaning, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The staff were welcoming and professional, and they made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. They explained each step clearly and were gentle but effective throughout the appointment.
This experience made me feel very comfortable in trusting Dr. Vidhi Patel with my braces process, and I’m looking forward to continuing my treatment here. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful and smooth experience with my dental checkups with Dr. Natasha and staff. Dr. Natasha was very thorough and went over and beyond to identify potential issues with my teeth and possible short term, long term solutions. The subsequent tooth fillings were done meticulously and smoothly.

We had a wonderful experience at Yarralumla Dental with Dr. Vidhi Patel. My wife and I both had tooth removals, and the entire process was smooth, painless, and well explained. Dr. Patel was very gentle, professional, and caring, which made us feel comfortable and confident.

Our daughter also had a general check-up, and she was treated with great patience and kindness. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very supportive.

The clinic is clean, modern, and well-organised. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend Dr. Vidhi Patel and the team at Yarralumla Dental to anyone looking for quality dental care.

I visited Yarralumla Dental Clinic for my molar crown re-joining and had a great experience.
Dr. Vidhi Patel was excellent-she explained everything clearly, was very gentle, and made me feel comfortable throughout the treatment. I really appreciated how thoroughly she took the time to explain each step.

The receptionist Kay was also very helpful and kind, especially with assisting me to make the best use of my private health insurance.

Very happy with the treatment and overall service. Highly recommend this clinic.

I needed to see a Dentist ASAP. I was recommended to contact the Yarralumla Dental Care. I was welcomed into brand new facilities with warm smiles by the Reception staff. I had my consultation with Dr Vidhi Patel. She was so reassuring, comforting and extremely knowledgable. The procedure was able to be attended to immediately and it was conducted in a calming, supportive and caring approach. Her follow-up the next day was also very caring. I have a major anxiety-phobia towards going to the Dentist, yet with her approach and calming demeanor my anxiety of having to go to the Dentist has been appeased. During our discussion, I could tell that Dr Patel has a passion for Dentistry and puts her patients needs first. I was so impressed I have booked an appointment for my annual checkup and clean. I recommended my adult son to see her, which he did and has echoed my experience. I found her fees to be very reasonable. Highly recommend. Yarralumla Dental Care ticks all the boxes.

After trying many dentists across Canberra, I have finally found a dentist that I trust. Dr. Natasha was very professional and respectful as she went through the various issues with my teeth offering both short term and long term options. Sensing my general reluctance to dental intervention, she prioritized the high risk issues and suggested a wait and watch approach to the others. I would easily recommend her to anybody looking for a dentist in the Yarralumla area.

Yarralumla Dental Care starts from a place of excellence and then gets even better!! I'm so thankful I found this dental team.
Dr Vidhi Patel and her staff are welcoming, caring, non-judgmental and gentle. They understand patients' nervousness around dental visits and they have created an environment that overcomes this. From the moment you walk in, you feel a sense of calm and security. Dr Patel is engaging and she pays close attention to how you are feeling throughout your treatment to ensure you are comfortable.
Previously, I've postponed dental visits due to a bit of anxiety, which, of course, makes future visits more stressful and costly...but not anymore.
I never thought I'd say this but dental visits are cool and nothing to fear. What a miracle, there is a God!!

Thank you Yarralumla Dental Care.

We attended this new clinic in Nov, and are more than happy with our choice. Dr Patel was very caring and reassuring for my 12 yr old when he needed a baby tooth extraction that he had been dreading, as part of a long term plan. She had the tooth out before he knew it (apart from the numb face).
The atmosphere of the clinic is also very welcoming, with soft and warm colour scheme and decor, and new fixtures. The clock in the waiting area is fascinating!

Congratulations Yarralumla Dental Care, and thank you - we will be back!
