Dr Danushan (Dan) Sampanthar

Principal Dentist

I’m Dr Dan and if you’ve been putting off coming to the dentist, I want you to know you’re not alone, and you’re absolutely welcome here.

I’ve been caring for patients in Geelong since 2011, having graduated from the University of Adelaide with Honours. Over nearly 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of treating whole families – watching kids grow up, helping patients who haven’t seen a dentist in years finally feel at ease, and being part of some genuinely life-changing smile transformations. That never gets old.

My philosophy is simple: prevention first, no rushing, and always treat people the way I’d want to be treated. I won’t recommend treatment you don’t need, and I’ll always take the time to explain what’s happening and why. Your comfort matters as much as the clinical result.

Clinically, I have a particular love for preventative dentistry, wisdom tooth removal, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. I’m proud that I’ve never had a patient unhappy with their composite work. Whatever you need, I’ll do it well and I’ll do it carefully.

Outside the practice, you’ll find me running or cycling around the Geelong region, cooking for friends and family, or getting out into nature. I’ve had the privilege of participating in dental missions to Cambodia and Guatemala — experiences that remind me every day why this work is worth doing.

Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit – come in. Say hello. Let’s take good care of your smile together.

Before You Book

A few things patients often want to know:

  • No judgement — ever. We see patients at every stage of dental health and our job is to help, not lecture.
  • Nervous or anxious? Tell us when you book. We’ll make sure your appointment moves at your pace.
  • We’ll always explain what we find and what your options are — no surprises, no pressure.
  • Payment plans available on the spot. We’ll work with your health fund and your budget.
  • Plenty of free parking on site — and daily emergency appointments if you’re in pain.
