I Have been seeing Dr Pillay, who has been really helpful in
getting my smile back. She is a really great Dentist, Gentle
and does a great Job. Sunny Ridge Dental really seems to
care about their clients and not just trying to make a quick
buck. Their pricing is reasonable and a lot better than most
Dentists.

Roxanne Coopoo

My daughter had the best experience today, Dr
Pillay was so gentle with her, I would highly
recommend her. My daughter loved her
appointment so much that she cannot wait for her
next visit. As skeptical as I am with dentists, this
by far has been an amazing experience. Thank you
for your warmth, professionalism and
understanding.

Sabrina Lourens

Dr Pillay, thank you for your assuring
yet firm manner with me. I was
scared, my tummy goes into a knot
when I hear a drill. Yet, 20 minutes
later I walk out with two fillings & no
injections. Your experience & lovely
manner speaks volumes. I will be
back, it will be a bigger
procedure,now I know what can be
done. Thank you for your patience
with me.

Liz Steyn

We were looking for a dentist in the area, having just
moved to Sunnyridge about 6 months ago. We were
so lucky to find Dr. Pillay at Sunnyridge Dental clinic,
who was extremely courteous, professional and
thorough in her examination and explanation of what
needs to be done and what the various options were,
that was available to me. The Reception staff and the
Dental assistant were also extremely friendly and
professional and provided really great service that I
have not experienced in a long while. I highly
recommend this Dental practice – and would even
recommend the drive to Sunnyridge, even if you are
not from the area. It will be really worth your while!
