Pleasanton Star Dental - Pleasanton, California

Juliet S.

My partner has been a happy patient here and when I had a dental emergency (a bridge done by another dentist completely broke off), they were able to accommodate me the same day. I was thrilled with both the speed in which I was seen and with the work that was done. Since then I have been in for a cleaning (I was overdue) and to have a few fillings replaced. Every time I come I am treated with such care and kindness by Dr. V and her staff. I highly recommend Pleasanton Star Dental!

I recently relocated to Pleasanton and, like you, needed a new dentist. After looking over several dozen Google reviews, I picked Dr Vundavalli at Pleasanton Star Dental. I was not disappointed! Dr Vundavalli is a very caring, skilled dentist. She spent a great deal of time examining my teeth and mouth and explaining what work was needed. All the work is now complete. I was very impressed with her skills and kind persona. I highly recommend her. BOB

The overall experience was great and Dr. Vundavalli herself was absolutely wonderful.
The Dr. was a very sweet witch a warm demeanor that made you feel comfortable and welcome. She was very professional and focused on finding the best course of action for my care while also providing a good conversation to get to know each other that made the experience enjoyable. I'm 24 and she talked pleasantly with me about my life and plans for the future, and just generally how I was doing, and then she gave me some information about herself as well. it was very sweet. She is super knowledgeable and patient, and welcome to answering all the questions I had- and I ask a lot of questions.

I went in for my first general cleaning after having switched dentists and having not gone in a few years, and it was not to my surprise that I had some cavities and needed fillings. She showed me pictures and came up with an efficient plan to take care of them. The teeth I was having fixed were ones previously filled by my other dentists and it was made clear very quickly the difference as she seemed surprised at the way he had handled one of my teeth and left it patchy, and explained how she would have done it differently. She definitely knew what she was talking about, but stated it in a way that wasn't arrogant or condescending towards any of my previous dental work, it was professional and focused on where to go from there.

When I came back to receive the fillings it was probably the most comfortable dental experience I've ever had, and I've been to a handful of dentists. She had no problem explaining to me what she was doing as she did it, and I felt absolutely nothing. The filling was on my last lower molar, and even with my cross bite and small mouth I didn't feel the numbing shot at all because she went slow and gentle, not even a pinch- she was in no hurry which was a great change of pace from my previous dentistry, and she held no reservations in giving me a second shot when I didn't think I was numb enough. She checked in with me frequently throughout the treatment, and I didn't feel left out of the loop

She was there to treat me as a person rather than as just another tooth case- my previous dentist made me feel like he wanted to get me out the door as fast as possible and when I was finished I felt a lot of pressure on one of my front teeth (my cross bite means my front teeth touch.)

Dr. Vundavalli took extra care to double check my bite and the surfaces of my teeth when she was done and I was actually shocked when I got home that my bite felt way better than usual; the pressure on my front tooth was gone and I can only assume her work on my back teeth and attention to how my mouth opened/closed must have helped shift my bite where my teeth collided, and it is so much more comfortable now.

She is very conscious of the comfort of the person shes working on, and is very kind and softly spoken. I'm always apprehensive when I get a new dentist because it's hard to trust a stranger to drill in your mouth, but now I'm looking forward to getting the rest of my teeth fixed because I can trust she will do a good job and that she cares.

The rest of the staff are also very polite, especially Ruth in reception.

Dr. Chandana is amazing!! Had to squeeze in a bunch of emergency appointments at very short notice and she was so accommodating in making sure I was taken care of in a timely manner. She took her time to thoroughly explain exactly what issues I was facing and why the treatment she suggested would be the best choice for me. Throughout the procedures, she was patient and ensured I was comfortable throughout. She and her staff are all warm and inviting and make going to the dentist less daunting. Dr. Chandana is absolutely a dentist who puts patients first and I definitely recommend her!!

"I've always been a little anxious about dental visits, but my experience with Dr.Vundavalli completely changed that. From the moment I walked in, the staff welcomed me warmly and took time to answer all my questions. What really stood out to me was how Dr. V took the time to explain each part of the procedure, calming my nerves along the way. They even noticed I was a bit uneasy and asked if I wanted a break, which no other dentist has ever done for me! After the cleaning, my teeth felt amazing, and I walked out with a smile on my face, grateful to have found a dentist who truly cares about their patients' comfort and well-being."I had been dealing with sensitivity in my teeth for months, and after Dr.V's treatment, it’s like a weight has been lifted. I can finally enjoy cold drinks again without wincing!I’ve already scheduled my next appointment for couple other filling's and won’t be dreading it like I used to. Highly recommend!"

My dad had an exceptional experience with Dr. Vundavalli. She was incredibly patient and took the time to explain every step of the procedure, making sure he was comfortable throughout.

Dr. Vundavalli is not only skilled and thorough but also hospitable, creating a warm and welcoming environment. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients and does outstanding work.

I am an ex-Dental Hygienist and recently had my first visit here. They are excellent. The receptionist is very friendly and welcoming.
I saw the hygienist who was very thorough, gentle and knowledgeable, followed by the dentist.
I then came back for 2 fillings and the dentist was also incredibly gentle. A lot of care was taken so that I wouldn't feel the injections and she was so thorough in ensuring all the tooth decay was removed before filling the cavities.

As an ex-hygienist I can safely say that the dentist followed the book on everything she did with my fillings, she even lined the cavity with a special material to protect the living part of my tooth which not all do.

My 4 year old daughter also had a checkup and the dentist was really great with her. She had a positive experience and will be back for her 6 month check.

I am very happy with my care here and will continue to visit Pleasanton Star Dental for all my future visits.

5 stars for Pleasanton Star. For what? Here you go;
1. First visit: Allowed me to walkin for initial checkup on a non-scheduled day as I was unable to drink water at room temp. - Hyper sensitivity of tooth n gums.
2. All paper work for dental insurance taken care by team.
3. Clearly explained me the root cause of the issue with pictures and xray, gave me the treatment plan. Gum infection and tooth decay of grinding tooth.
4. Considerate to give me quick second appointment on their packed schedule for tooth extraction.
5. The 'E' day - I was very nervous. Double assurance from doc, gentle but highly skillful hands, loads of patience and not in a rush made me feel that I am not just a patient number for the team. Clean closure and no pain for me.
The whole experience: 5 stars
Thank You for everything team (I wish I knew names of all team members).
THANK YOU!! DOCTOR CHANDANA. You are an expert in your profession and very kind human being.
