Meet the team
Smile Symphony Dental features an expert team consisting of Principal Dentists Dr. Pooneh Shahab and Dr. Behzad Fazlali, along with Dr. Sunesha Pradhan, who together provide comprehensive, aesthetic, and advanced implant dentistry.
Dr. Behzad Fazlali is a Principal Dentist at Smile Symphony Dental, a comprehensive dental practice in Gladesville, Sydney. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, he provides personalised dental care across general, restorative and implant dentistry.
Dr. Fazlali is skilled in all aspects of general dentistry, with a particular clinical interest in advanced dental implant procedures and the replacement of missing teeth. His approach is centred on careful diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning and delivering ethical, high-quality, patient-focused care.
For patients requiring dental implant treatment, Dr. Fazlali considers each case individually, taking into account oral health, bone volume, surrounding anatomical structures, function and the patient’s overall treatment goals. Where clinically appropriate, advanced planning and modern diagnostic technology may be used to support precise and individualised treatment.
Dr. Fazlali has undertaken specialised training through Nobel Biocare and completed advanced training in implant dentistry and regeneration through the Advanced Implant & Regeneration course in Los Angeles. His ongoing professional development and advanced training support his clinical interest in dental implants, implant surgery and regenerative procedures.
In addition to implant dentistry, Dr. Fazlali provides comprehensive general dental care and treatment for a wide range of dental concerns. He believes that successful dentistry should not focus on treating a problem in isolation, but should consider the overall health, function and long-term needs of the patient.
At Smile Symphony Dental, Dr. Fazlali is committed to ethical and patient-centred dentistry. He believes in open communication and takes the time to understand each patient’s concerns, expectations and treatment goals. By explaining treatment options clearly and developing personalised treatment plans, he aims to help patients make informed decisions about their oral health and dental care.
Patient comfort and trust are central to his approach. Whether a patient is attending for routine dental care, restorative treatment or advanced implant procedures, Dr. Fazlali aims to provide a professional, supportive and comfortable experience from consultation through to treatment.
His professional goal is to help patients achieve and maintain healthy, functional and confident smiles through comprehensive, personalised dental care. At Smile Symphony Dental, his approach combines clinical experience, ongoing education and a commitment to high-quality care tailored to the individual.
Beyond Dentistry
Outside the dental clinic, Dr. Fazlali values ongoing learning, professional development and personal growth. His commitment to continuous education reflects the same dedication and attention to detail that he brings to his clinical practice and the care of his patients.
Dr. Pooneh Shahab is the Principal Dentist at Smile Symphony Dental, a comprehensive dental practice in Gladesville, Sydney. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, she provides personalised dental care across general, restorative and aesthetic dentistry.
Her clinical experience includes comprehensive general dentistry, tooth-coloured restorations, root canal treatment and retreatment, teeth whitening, dental implants and restorative care. For more than a decade, her clinical focus has included aesthetic dentistry, smile design, composite and porcelain veneers, crowns, severe tooth wear and complex full-mouth rehabilitation.
Dr. Shahab approaches dentistry by considering the whole picture. Rather than focusing on a single tooth in isolation, she considers how oral health, tooth structure, function, bite, facial features, lip dynamics, dental proportions and individual character work together.
Her approach combines minimally invasive, adhesive and biomimetic restorative principles with facially driven aesthetic treatment planning. Wherever clinically appropriate, her aim is to preserve healthy natural tooth structure while creating restorations and smiles that are functional, comfortable, natural and harmonious with each individual patient.
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual. Where tooth preparation is required, it is planned according to the specific clinical needs of the case. Restorative materials are carefully selected to support function, natural aesthetics and long-term comfort.
In complex restorative and tooth-wear cases, Dr. Shahab assesses factors including tooth wear, vertical dimension, jaw position and bite stability to develop a systematic treatment plan. Where clinically appropriate, centric relation may be used as a stable and reproducible reference to help establish occlusal harmony and guide restorative treatment.
Her ongoing advanced education includes aesthetic dentistry, fixed prosthodontics, biomimetic restorative dentistry, implant therapy and bone grafting. Her clinical portfolio includes the rehabilitation of severely worn and compromised dentitions, with an emphasis on preserving natural teeth wherever clinically appropriate, alongside documented multi-year follow-up of selected crown, veneer and complex restorative cases.
At Smile Symphony Dental, Dr. Shahab’s philosophy is centred on thoughtful, individualised dentistry. Her goal is to help patients maintain healthy, functional and naturally beautiful smiles through careful diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning and personalised care.
Beyond Dentistry
Outside dentistry, Dr. Shahab enjoys hand-painting footwear and clothing and exploring fashion design. These creative pursuits reflect her appreciation for colour, proportion, balance and individual expression qualities that also influence her approach to aesthetic dentistry and smile design.
Dr. Sunesha Pradhan is an AHPRA-registered General Dentist at Smile Symphony Dental, a comprehensive dental practice in Gladesville, Sydney. With more than seven years of clinical experience, she provides personalised dental care across all areas of general and family dentistry.
Dr. Pradhan enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, with particular clinical interests in preventive and restorative dentistry, tooth-coloured restorations, root canal treatment, crowns and bridges, tooth extractions and ongoing oral health care.
Her approach is centred on prevention, early diagnosis and preserving healthy natural tooth structure wherever clinically appropriate. She believes that maintaining good oral health through regular dental care and preventive treatment plays an important role in helping patients protect their teeth and maintain healthy smiles over the long term.
Dr. Pradhan is known for her gentle, compassionate and patient-centred approach. She understands that visiting the dentist can sometimes feel overwhelming and takes the time to listen to each patient’s concerns, understand their individual needs and clearly explain their treatment options.
Whether a patient is visiting for a routine dental check-up, preventive care, restorative treatment or treatment for a specific dental concern, Dr. Pradhan aims to create a comfortable and welcoming experience. Her goal is to help patients feel informed and confident about their dental care while receiving high-quality treatment tailored to their individual needs.
She particularly enjoys building lasting relationships with her patients and caring for individuals and families at different stages of life. Through open communication and personalised care, she aims to create a positive and supportive dental experience for patients of all ages.
At Smile Symphony Dental, Dr. Pradhan is committed to helping patients achieve and maintain healthy, functional and confident smiles. Her approach combines gentle care, thoughtful treatment planning and a focus on long-term oral health, ensuring that each patient feels supported throughout their dental journey.
