Dr Rahul Pankhaniya

Principal Dentist

Having always wanted to enter the medical field, Dr Rahul chose to be a dentist after seeing how it not only improved people’s health, but it also improved their quality of life.

A Rewarding Career

For Dr Rahul, one of the most fulfilling parts of being a dentist is getting patients out of pain and seeing them leave the practice happy. Dr Rahul also enjoys completing cosmetic treatment on patients who are unhappy with the way their smile looks, then seeing that treatment boost their self-confidence.

Dr Rahul is on his way to becoming a member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. He is also interested in endodontics and restorative dentistry. Dr Rahul is a member of the Australian Society of Endodontics and has spent some time teaching local university graduates in clinical procedures.

Outside the Office

Away from the office, Dr Rahul spends most of his time playing cricket, although you might also find him in a game of badminton or reading a book. He also actively volunteers with the Red Cross and various child welfare charities.
