Thorough and detailed and very pleasant, as are all the staff. I was recommend by my dentist and then several friends too. I can see why. Very happy with my result and the process.

We has been with Dr Shimanto Purkayastha for 6+ months having orthodontic treatment. Apart from the initial consultation which we get to talk to him about the treatment, we rarely see him afterward. In the 6+ months, he only dropped by twice briefly for less than 5 mins to check the brace & to talk to the dental therapist. All the treatments are performed by the dental therapists and not the orthodontics.

Before we signed up, we were told one in every 3 visits, the work will be performed by the dentist himself but in reality, he is so busy that he couldn't be bother talking to his patients.
You don't always get the same dental therapist with fixing up the braces, and their tech work/skill differs.
I really think the dentist should show more interest in his patients and take time to discuss the progress and treatment with them along the 18-24 months. In fact, the patient is paying the orthodontics rate, but in practice, the treatment is performed by dental therapist & nurse.
This hasn't been explain properly in the beginning.

Dr Shimanto is amazing. You don’t get to see him to regularly bit his staff is amazing. I have had braces for three years. I also have had an expander and springs.

Visited Dr Shimanto for a consult about orthodontic treatment as an adult after being referred by my dentist. He was very thorough in his consultation with the orthodontic side of things and picked up a couple of other issues my dentist hadn't even noticed. The staff are all very pleasant to deal with and they were very flexible catering appointments around my long work hours. Would recommend.
