About the clinic
Dentistry that treats the person, not just the tooth
Sumukha Dental Clinic And Orthodontic Center has looked after Ashok Nagar and the wider Tumakuru district for more than two decades.

Patient stories
Rated 4.7/5 by 1000+ patients
Reviews from people who walked in nervous and walked out glad they came.
I was nervous about braces at 32. Dr. Vadiraj showed me a simulation of the result on the very first visit, and eighteen months later my smile looks exactly like it. Every appointment ran on time.
Lakshmi N.
Braces · Ashok Nagar, Tumakuru
I came in at nine at night with unbearable pain. They saw me immediately, finished the root canal in one sitting, and I slept properly for the first time in three days.
Manjunath G.
Root canal · Batawadi, Tumakuru
The clinic is spotless and the instruments were opened in front of me. My teeth have not looked this clean in years, and the cost was exactly what they quoted.
Priya Shankar
Cleaning & whitening · Shira Gate, Tumakuru
I lost a molar two years ago and kept postponing it. The implant was painless, and I genuinely cannot tell which tooth is the replacement when I eat.
Rajesh Kumar
Dental implant · SS Puram, Tumakuru
My six-year-old asks when we are going back to the dentist. That tells you everything about how they handle children here.
Deepa Bhat
Children's dentistry · Kyathsandra, Tumakuru
Two zirconia crowns, done in two visits, colour-matched so well that my family did not notice. I only wish the evening slots were easier to get.
Suresh Babu
Crowns · Jayanagar, Tumakuru
They planned the whole thing digitally and let me see it before touching a single tooth. I felt in control the entire time.
Anjali M.
Smile makeover · Gandhi Nagar, Tumakuru
Impacted wisdom tooth out in under an hour, and barely any swelling afterwards. The aftercare sheet they gave me answered every question I had.

Questions
Things patients ask us
If your question is not here, call the clinic — we would rather answer it before your appointment than during it.
The pain you arrive with is caused by the infection, not the treatment. Under local anaesthesia a root canal feels much like having a filling placed, and most patients are surprised by how uneventful it is. Mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards is normal and settles with ordinary painkillers.
Book a visit
Reserve your chair
Pick a treatment, a dentist and a time that suits you. Slots are checked against the clinic calendar as you choose.

No obligation
