Fantastic service and professional staff. Very happy with prices for 5 plus appointments and a gold crown. I would highly recommend this dental surgery if youre looking for just a cleaning by their dedicated oral hygienist or if you need multiple treatments for any tooth decay or any other problems.
AAA+. I will be returning to have an implant in future, Dr. Gurbachan Lal is highly skilled and very good at painless dental treatments. Thank you Pialba dental for making me smile again without anxiety.

Ruby is a very experienced OHT. She did a really thorough clean and I was confident in her with my teeth! She was very professional and I will definitely be going back. Great excuse to watch some Netflix whilst getting your teeth looked after too. Service was great! 100% recommend.

Highly recommend Dr Lal. Our family of 4 is seeing him for the last 4 years. Recently travelled from Brisbane to Hervey Bay to get my wisdom tooth extracted. He handled my anxiety with calmness and gentle care. You rock Dr Lal!!

I have a massive phobia about the dentist and I can not thank these guys enough for just taking the time to make sure I was comfortable the whole way through the procedure. Can not speak highly enough of them
