If you need a dentist in Gunadala, Vijayawada, GIA Clinics is on Zion High School Road, near Hyatt Place. It was the first GIA clinic, set around a green courtyard with a garden lounge, and it handles everything from a six-monthly check-up to a difficult extraction under one roof.
Who you will see
For general dental care at Gunadala, you will usually meet Dr Sreeja Lakshmi, a general dentist with 5 years of practice and a focus on root canal treatment, crowns and bridges. She sees patients from 10 AM to 8:30 PM. If your problem needs a specialist, that person works in the same building, so you are not sent across town to start again.
The specialists on site
- Dr Sai Santosh, oral and maxillofacial surgeon: 12:30 PM to 8:30 PM
- Dr Lalitya Dandamudi, paediatric and general dentist: 10 AM to 8:30 PM
- Dr Samata Avula, orthodontist: 6 PM to 8:30 PM
- Dr Naveen G, orthodontist: by appointment
What a routine visit covers
A check-up looks at your teeth, gums and bite, with X-rays when they would add something. If you need a cleaning or filling, you will be told what it involves before it starts. Small problems found early are usually simpler to treat, which is the main reason to come before anything hurts.
People also come to us here for:
- Toothache, sensitivity or a broken filling
- Bleeding gums and scaling
- Crowns, bridges and dentures
- A second opinion on a plan from elsewhere
Hygiene you can ask about
Instruments go through a three-step sterilisation process that includes a Class B autoclave, then stay in a sealed pouch until your treatment. Needles, syringes and suction tips are single-use. GIA Clinics is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
Before you come
Bring earlier X-rays, prescriptions and a list of your medicines, since they often save a repeat test.
The clinic is open Monday to Sunday, 10 AM to 8:30 PM. Booking ahead means the right doctor is free when you arrive: call or WhatsApp 090772 93949 and the front desk will confirm a time with you.
