Dr Sushma Penugonda is a dentist based in Harrison, in Canberra, ACT. Her practice is at Unit 97, 11 Wimmera Street, Harrison ACT 2914. If you’re looking for straightforward, everyday dental care, this is the kind of clinic where you can expect calm, practical help.
Dr Penugonda works with adults and children who need routine dental check-ups and cleanings. In many cases, people come in because of tooth pain, sensitivity, or worries about how their teeth are looking. Other times it’s just time for a proper review, especially if you haven’t been to the dentist for a while.
Teeth cleaning is a big part of the work, along with dental check-ups to see how teeth and gums are doing. Dental X-rays are also used when they’re needed, so problems can be spotted early, even if you can’t feel anything yet. If you’ve got a cavity or a spot that needs repair, Dr Penugonda provides fillings, aiming to make things feel comfortable and get you back to normal eating and talking.
Appointments are usually about more than just the treatment. There’s time to talk through what’s going on, what the dentist is seeing, and what options might make sense. At times, dental visits can feel stressful for people, so keeping things simple helps. The focus stays on clear steps, good hygiene habits, and getting you out with a plan you understand.
Dr Penugonda has completed the standard dental training required to work as a dentist, and keeps learning as new tools and methods come along. That matters because dental care changes a bit over time, and it’s helpful to stay up to date with practical, day-to-day improvements.
For most patients, the goal is long-term dental health, not quick fixes. Whether it’s a routine check-up, a cleaning, or getting a filling done, Dr Penugonda looks after the common stuff that helps teeth last. Clinical trial work isn’t something that’s listed for this practice, but the care offered covers the everyday treatments people rely on.
