I needed to have an implant in the top front. Two implants done and the procedures were explained in detail. Post implants, advised the Do's and Don'ts and also tablets given.
I strongly recommend Dr. KR Nagaraj and Dr. Smitha Nagaraj. They are especially gentle and soft-spoken, and the overall environment at Lalitha Dental Speciality Centre is excellent.

I took an appointment to get a checkup done on the inflammation in my molar tooth. On my first visit i was seen by Dr. Akshaya Reddy who diagnosed me with inflammation/infection and also clearly explained that i needed a root canal (looking at the the x-ray images) and the extent of the damage or decay of the tooth will be known after removing the existing crown. In the next few visits Dr, Akshaya Reddy did a remarkable job of thoroughly drilling the 3 canals , cleaning and plugging them perfectly. She is very skillful, patient, very meticulous and detail oriented and put up with all my relevant questions through the whole process. This was an very good experience compared to my routine checkups in US. The outcome of the whole root canal treatment was superb. No discomfort or pain throughout and in the second visit she unplugged the canals and re-plugged them after cleaning them again. She purposely took multiple visits to make sure that the infection was completely gone and I could handle the procedure without pain. This time she plugged and sealed it and sent me home for the next visits for measurements and crown fitting.
The third visit was completely under the care of Dr Smitha Nagaraj who is also an amazing doctor very skilled, meticulous and very detail oriented and does not compromise on quality. I preferred to have a Monoblock Zirconium crown fitted. She insisted on getting the exact measurement , multiple tries and finally got what she intended. She also permanently plugged the 3 canals with GP and sealed it for good. She also sealed on top of the canals with zinc oxide composite and took measurements later.
She not only is good by herself but she goes out of her way to bring everybody in her team up to speed about the patients. This way they are aware of problems and solutions as part of ongoing collaboration and training. This is a very good practice. She completed the crown fitting the 4th visit to perfection. I am really very happy with the outcome. The crown is so well set i hardly feel the presence and there is no difference from the natural tooth. This was really neat. Thank you .

The atmosphere and the way you are received doesn't feel like visiting a doctors clinic .
Very efficient, less wait time, timely updates. All procedures are explained clearly.
Thank you Dr. Smitha
I visited Lalitha dental clinic near Nethradhama, Jayanagar on the recommendation by my sister who had got her dental issues corrected. I had a severe decay problem which needed a root candling treatment. Upon initial diagnosis by the senior doctor, Dr. Smitha nagaraj handled my case, who is the best dentist I've ever seen. Her expertise at work, patience and the way to deal with the patient was extremely great and I was super delighted. I've got my other two tooth root canalled by another famous dentist in the country. But, the approach took at Lalitha dental clinic was extremely superb with highly sophisticated equipments and world class studio who has highly skilled doctors and technicians to work.
And, this best service is provided at not at the normal cost. Both the service and cost are above par.. The complete root canaling treatment was done in for sessions and dealt with extreme care to give the precision at work..
Also, planning to take a tooth implantation and tooth shape correction. Implantation will cost around 35k per tooth. Not sure about the cost for shape correction. Upon checking the cost, will make a final decision and keep sharing my experience with Lalitha dental clinic.. If you want the best treatment in Bangalore, it's worth visiting the place from any corner of the city..

As a 54 year old Founder of an international project I have travelled the world and interacted with dentists on 3 continents. For 4 years I have been struggling with dental issues. Today Dentist Dr Smitha took an one hour to sit with me and work through various options involving possible removal of 5 molars with root canals, clearing out infections at areas where wisdom teeth were pulled, placing dentures and more.
Few things surprised me and I do not get surprised easily. First is the time she took. I have never interacted with a dentist that took 1 hour to sit with me. I felt valued and heard.
Second is her holistic approach. Dr Smitha clearly understands that the oral area, body and mind are intimately connected. Life style stresses have more impact than we know. I got great insight into life style stresses which have likely contributed to my dental problems.
Third is her commitment to the least invasive, simplest, cost effective solution possible. This truly amazes me in a time where many people are strongly influenced by monetary motivations.
I highly recommend Dr Smitha from Lalitha Dental Speciality Centre. After more than 5 decades I have found a dentist to return to. Have no doubt and experience the service for yourself.
