Compassionate Periodontics in the Heart of Gippsland
Dr. Akanksha Ostwal brings more than two decades of global experience in dentistry to Pacific Smiles Dental Traralgon. With a special interest in periodontics, Dr. Ostwal is passionate about supporting her patients’ gum health and helping them manage conditions that impact the foundation of their oral wellbeing.
Having completed her Bachelor and Master of Dental Surgery in Periodontics in India, Dr. Ostwal also gained valuable experience during her five years of practice in Bahrain before relocating to Australia. She obtained her qualifications from the Australian Dental Council in 2024, and has since embraced regional Victorian life for its peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and strong community values.
A Passion for Periodontal Health
Dr. Ostwal is skilled in managing a wide range of periodontal concerns, from deep scaling and gum disease to crown lengthening, bone regeneration, and stabilising mobile teeth. She provides her patients with personalised care and a calm, supportive environment, where they feel empowered to take control of their oral health.
Community-Focused and Family-Oriented
Outside the clinic, Dr. Ostwal is an active participant in her local community, organising events, celebrating cultural festivals, and volunteering in her children’s school activities. Her hobbies include cooking, painting, and enjoying time in nature — passions that reflect the caring, well-rounded professional she is.
Her Top Tip for a Healthy Smile
“Brush twice a day and don’t forget to rinse after meals. Regular check-ups every six months help catch small problems before they become big ones.”
