Astra Dental

I love my dentist. Dr. McMaster treats me like a real person, listens to me and clearly answers any questions I have. She’s a pleasure to talk to any time I go in for a checkup. I mean, she does need me to stop talking periodically so she can do the actual dental work at hand here. I don’t want anyone to think that there’s some sort of wizardry going on where I get my teeth worked on while talking.
The entire staff is very patient and respectful of my comfort and needs, and they go out of their way to work with my insurance company. They greet me with a smile and send me home with a better smile each time.
My wife and I both swear by Astra for our dental needs.

By far the very best Dental experience I have ever had! Explanations galore and the Dentist spent all the time necessary to explain and answer all questions.

Having found out it was a miscommunication, and having seen Astra Dental’s response to my issue, I’ve entirely changed my rating. When we all figured out what had happened, they made sure that I paid what I was quoted.
Very good news for me, because I very much enjoyed their practice. Dr L is extremely nice and I found Vanessa at the front desk extremely helpful with the insurance issue. Very rare to see a dentist office that took a vested interest in making sure everyhing was fair for the customer, but they definitely did that for me.

I called them because I had a problem with a tooth ache. The minute I walked in I felt relieved Dr L is amazing she first accessed the problem looked at my teeth and found out I had root canal infection on a crown that I had done 6 years ago. She went in drained my tooth I did not even feel it, I had a negative experience last year with a dentist that did a root canal on wrong tooth i was suffering for 3 weeks because of that Can’t wait see her again. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere, i’m telling all my friends and family… SYMPLY THE BEST

BEST DENTIST IN TOWN!
I LOOOVE Dr. L she is sooo patient, before coming to Astra Dental I’ve had some pretty horrible experiences with the dentist in the past. I had this huge phobia when it came to the dentist.
I mentioned to Dr. L I rather have another baby without drugs than to have someones hands in my mouth, yeah my phobia was pretty intense. She made sure I was very comfortable and whenever I wasn’t she stopped to make sure I was okay.
When I had to get my wisdom teeth (4 total) removed back in Nov 2012, I was beyond terrified! I mean some crazy thoughts were running through my head, but Dr. L help put those worries aside.
Three days post surgery I had pain and it was over the weekend I had called Dr. L, left a message, she returned my call in less that 10 minutes, talked to me and calmed my worries and this was after hours. She was even willing to come in.
My experience at Astra Dental has changed my entire attitude towards the dentist. Now I am excited to go to my appointment and I can’t wait to get my Invisalign next month!
Oh and the staff is amazing, can’t forget them!!! Brenda and Vanessa they’re super nice!

My family and I have been going to Astra Dentals for many years and have nothing but the best experiences. Dr. Lohithakshan is very professional and makes everyone feels very comfortable. My family has been going to Dr. L for everything from regular cleanings to getting fillings. She was great in helping my sibling on getting their invisalign. My family and I can’t imagine going to anyone else when it comes to our dental work.
If you ever need a great dentist, Dr. L and Astra Dental is the place to go!

Dr. Lohitakshan is a consummate professional. My husband complained of tooth pain for weeks before going to see Dr. L. She has a background in oral surgery and went the extra mile to figure out what was going on. Lo and behold, it was a bone spicule underneath his gum. She promptly removed it and cleaned out the area, and he was on his way.
He said she was professional, caring and incredibly thorough. He’s normally terrified of the dentist but we heard great things about Dr. L from a friend and decided to try out Astra Dental. I’m so glad we did! It’s rare to find that kind of thorough attentional to detail and great beside manner. We’ll be going back!

First of all, I am very upset that Unilocal removed my original review from public view. I have very good things to say about Astra Dental in that review!
Anyways, This place is amazing and Dr L is an amazing dentist. She has been my dentist for over 3 year now and counting. High quality work with two wisdom teeth extractions that were removed perfectly! They also did my Invisalign braces which I am still wearing and everything is going very well…

We have been with Astra Dental for over 3 years and are very happy there. In particular my kids love their dentist, Dr. Lohitakshan, and the attention they get there, which makes up for the lack of fancy audio-​visual equipment and toys found in most pediatric dental offices. As this is not a pediatric office per se, we are continually surprised by how Dr. L accommdates our family’s schedule including opening her office early do that my then 4-​year old could have his fillings done before breakfast. I also appreciate that she used laughing gas instead of a general, and took very good care of him (and us). She and her staff explain everything with a great deal of patience and in particular display an understanding of my questions regarding «nice to have» versus «must have» dental treatments. I really appreciate them and highly recommend Astra Dental.
