Our Mission

“To be passionate about dentistry and enjoy the relationships we form with our team members and our patients. To cultivate a culture of respect, kindness and collaboration so that we may provide the best dental care for our valued patients.”

Our Philosophy

Multiple factors affect an individual’s position on the continuum between healthy and unhealthy and it has been proven that oral health and overall health are strongly intertwined. We believe one of our most important jobs is to educate our patients because with education comes prevention and this is better than any crown, root canal or implant out there. We hope to empower our patients so that they may have some control over their oral health and that this may have a positive effect on their overall health. The mouth is a biological system and despite one’s best efforts, cavities, trauma and periodontal disease happen. With this in mind, our patients can expect up to date comprehensive dental care and clinical excellence with our dedicated team.

Dental Missions

Dental Mission Trips

Dr. Pranata has participated in Dental Missions to provide dental care in places where it is not so accessible. She has travelled to Guatemala several times and has found her experience rewarding and is always shocked to see that people who have so little can be so generous and full of joy. Poverty and need can also be seen in our own city. At the East Side Dental Clinic, Dr. Pranata has had the opportunity to meet and treat individuals who suffer from substance use disorder or who simply need a bit of extra help. Please visit the website below if you or someone you know could benefit from free or reduced fee emergency services at the East Side Dental Clinic.

I've been a patient at Dunbar Dental Care for 20 years, and it has been my pleasure to recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for excellent dental work. My experience has been very consistent over the years: the details of appointments and billings handled efficiently with Cyndi at reception, careful dental hygiene, anticipatory dental assistance, and of course the cheerful professionalism and calm capability of the dentist, most recently Dr. Anna Pranata. The whole staff is very friendly, ensures patients are comfortable, but all the while very competently and meticulously go about the dental work with much care and skillfulness. Over the years I've had fillings, crowns, veneers, and root canals, and the outcome is always the same - healthier teeth, pleasing aesthetics, and without complication. I feel fortunate to have access to such high quality dental care. They are a delightful team who clearly work very well together for their patients' best interest.

I usually get nervous about attending the dentist. I have some bad memories, including fillings as a child and a crown installment as an adult. So when I sit down in the dentist's chair I tend to tense up and fear pain. I still do this, but with Dr. Pranata my head now tells me I shouldn't, and after 10 minutes in her chair I sit back and relax.

I’ve had a couple of fillings and four crowns from Dr. Pranata. The way I would describe her work is 'exceptionally competent.' Dr. Pranata has pain management down -- I have never felt pain (beyond the pinch of the novocaine needle) in her chair. She is also a stickler for high quality and precision work. Finally, she minimizes intervention. Every procedure she has done for me has been necessary. When I have asked about some additional 'preventative' measures, Dr. Pranata has told me she does not think they are necessary right now, or that we can watch and decide later.

I would recommend Dr. Pranata for all ages. My two children too have had good experiences with her as well.

I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Dr. Pranata by my dental surgeon a year and a half ago. I have been delighted with the dental care and services I have received since becoming a patient. Due to a medical condition I have complex dental care needs and require ongoing extensive work. Dr. Pranata’s technical and aesthetic skills are excellent and I have been extremely pleased with all the results. Her chairside manner is professional but also compassionate and caring. Her staff has also been great to deal with – again, professional and friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Pranata to anyone looking for a dentist.
