I visited Tankard Dental for a few issues and was so pleased with the care Dr. Silvia provided. She listened to my concerns and addressed each one with exceptional knowledge and professionalism. She has a very kind demeanor that makes her patient feel comfortable and heard. The team gives quotes of any work they suggest so you will know all costs upfront and they really help to make informed decisions for the best services. Not being from Mildura and only living here temporarily, I was worried about which dentist to choose but I cannot recommend Tankard Dental and Dr. Silvia enough!

Great experience over the past 12 months. Dr Davinda Singh was fantastic. So friendly, caring, informative and helpful. He made my unpleasant experience pleasant. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thankyou Tankard Dental for all your help.

Had teeth cleaned today, overpriced for those without health insurance. $130 for a 5 minute clean and didnt even include a brush, polish or fluoride afterwards. Was kicked out immediately with not even 30 seconds to sit up and compose myself. Felt like a number not a customer
Until.... Daniel Tankard rang me himself to speak to me about my experience. Thanks so much for caring enough to read through my review and then taking action/responsibility in rectifying my issues, will be giving you and your team another try for sure

Tankard have been amazing with being able to fit me in last minute (During COVID-19 mind you) to have work done on my teeth, I needed quite some work done and they were very accommodating throughout the entire time. After not being able to afford work for quite some time, it has been a massive relief to be able to get work done and be able to afford a payment plan. These guys are all very professional and have been nothing short of amazing. I have been seeing Dr Davinder, him and his assistants are absolutely incredible, very comforting and informative during the whole process. I could not recommend
