A Dentist Who Cares

OVER 15 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Welcome to Pleasant Smiles Family Dental! I'm Dr. Vijitha Bandla, and I'm passionate about providing gentle, high-quality dental care to families in our community.

I began my dental journey in India, graduating in 2009 and opening my first private practice soon after. When life brought me to the U.S., I made the difficult decision to close that chapter and start over.I continued my education at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 2017. Now, in 2025, I'm proud to open a brand-new dental home — one that blends years of experience, global perspective, and a heart for serving families.

At our office, we strive to make dentistry as comfortable and stress-free as possible — especially for kids and families. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to create a warm, welcoming environment that puts patients of all ages at ease.When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, gardening, cooking, and finding little ways to bring peace and balance into daily life.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you smile with confidence!

Excellent care and attention!

I’ve been a patient of Doctor for over ten years. She is by far the most thorough and comprehensive dentist I’ve visited in CT, NY and PA. She is meticulous with any type of procedure, considerate to explain every step of the process and committed to a high standard of excellence.

The entire team is warm, professional, and efficient. My hygienist made the cleaning process smooth and comfortable, and the dentist always takes time to explain everything clearly.
