Centre of Dental Excellence

I went, as a high school student to Lallit Rajpal's clinic in Tawa in the early 1980s. Youth dental care was government supported at the time. He neglected to give me necessary treatment, bright and breezily said everything was fine, and I emerged into my late teens with my teeth full of cavities... I do NOT recommend this dentist.

Been looked after here for the last 2 and half years now, since Johnsonville Family Dentists relocated to this practice and branch. Very friendly, professional, understanding, accommodating, and nice dentist's, hygienist and dental assistant. Fair pricing and well treated. Thank you for looking after such a nervous patient such as myself.

I went to the Centre of Dental Excellence during the early two thousands. Around 2002 I began experiencing intense pain in my left ear and jaw. I saw Dr Rajpal, to try and resolve the problem. He took x-rays of my mouth, but did not seem concerned with the results. On looking at them myself, I suggested that my top left molar which was impacted at a 90° angle to my other teeth looked like it could be the source of the problem. Dr Rajpal disagreed and so I put up with the intense pain for another 2 years. I went back to see him again in 2004 at which time he suggested that the same problem which I had recognised 2 years previously looked extremely bad and I was now going to have to go and see an oral surgeon to have it resolved. I also found the dentist to be somewhat lax at other times. For example: he fitted me with a filling and then failed to grind it down which caused me to have pain in my jaw, I had to go back and ask him to grind it down. In recent times I have been using Symes de Silva and found them to be very good.
