Nagesh and Poornima have been our family Dentists for a few years now. They have always been very professional, caring and are very knowledgeable. Recently I had a difficult tooth extraction which Nagesh made it look so simple and there was absolutely no pain. Being an Emergency physician I do understand the importance of pain free procedures. Their new clinic - Positive Dental Health is very tidy with all new equipment and above all the same extreme professionalism. I am confident that this clinic will be among the best in Canberra and I wish them the very best. Dr Varma Datla, MBBS, MRCS, FACEM Specialist in Emergency Medicine

Dr. Nagesh and Poornim are very good dentists. Once our elder daughter got her front teeth broken by an accident. We were so scared and we took her to Positive Dental health without prior appointment. They fixed it immediately without any waiting time and we are so glad and respect their professional service. They are not just dentist, they treat us really well every time we visit them. My whole family now visit positive dental heath for regular checkups and we are extremely happy about their service. Dr. Poornima always has a smile on her face and always has a positive attitude.

Nagesh and Poornima are our family dentists for more than 10-12 years now. First time I got treatment from them was when I had to get my tooth pulled out very urgently due to a failed root canal. Nagesh luckily could make space for me in his appointment book that day more than 10 years back. He has the knack of making difficult procedures fairly painless. I have been recommending this husband and wife team to all my friends. We have followed them all these years to whichever clinic they practiced at. It is good to see that they now have their own clinic. I can guarantee you that you will have a positive dental experience with them.
