What Our Customers Say About Dental Cure

Good experience with the dental cure team.The Dental Cute has specialists for each dental treatment. Pain-free treatment and less appointments are the now additional reasons I have been coming to the clinic.Got fillings,RCT,braces done in last one-year. If anyone is looking for good dentist and clean clinic,the dental cure is one for sure

I rate Dr Pooja Yadav and her team highly. Very professional in her approach yet so warm. Got surgery done for the wisdom tooth removal. The Surgeon took half an hour and very smoothly removed the tooth ..3/4 stitches were given and had no pain during the treatment. Experience was really good. Minor swelling and pain after removal but satisfied by the follow-ups and care after the removal.

Dr. Pooja is probably the best dentist in Gurgaon. First I actually went somewhere else with my mother in phase 2 a day before we saw her and we realized that she is so humble and extremely good in her profession. she made us understand the about the problems with thorough examination and told us the different ways to deal with it and the expenses required rather than jumping into the expensive treatment this is something you do not expect from a doctor these days. I strongly recommend her and vouch for her expertise, knowledge and professionalism

A word of thank you shall not suffice your contribution during Covid pandemic..I was in a lot of pain.I was terrified to move out of the house.Dr Pooja Yadav treatment gave a lot of relief and in minimal appointments finished my whole dental treatment. The staff’s wonderful care and clean sterile clinic gave me a lot of Confidence. I appreciate your courtesies for giving me first appointment both days.Thank you Doctor

Dr Pooja has done an amazing job of diagnosing and solving my dental problems. She has been extremely thorough with her explanations since the beginning. The fact that she has stayed punctual, patient and professional has allowed me to have full confidence in her advice and treatment. I would highly recommend Dental Cure clinic to anyone who is looking for a sincere and friendly team of dentists.
