About Navya
A small studio, on purpose.
Navya opened in 2016 with one idea: dentistry feels better when nobody is in a hurry. We’ve kept the studio small, with three chairs and two specialists, so every patient still gets that time.
Our story
Built around the appointment, not the queue
Most of us have sat in a dental waiting room for forty minutes, then been seen in ten. Navya was set up to do the opposite: fewer appointments a day, longer first visits, and time to explain what we see before we suggest anything.
It also means being straightforward about money. You get a written estimate before treatment starts, and that’s the price you pay.
The team
Specialists you’ll see every visit
You’ll see the same dentist at every visit of your treatment, never a rotating roster.
Dr. Ananya Rao
BDS, MDS (Prosthodontics)
Founder · Implants & smile design
After eight years in a busy hospital department, Ananya wanted a practice where appointments could take as long as they needed. She founded Navya in 2016 and still sees most new patients herself. Her work focuses on replacing and restoring teeth so they look natural and last.
- Focus
- Dental implants · Crowns and bridges · Smile design · Root canal treatment
- Speaks
- English, Kannada and Hindi
Dr. Karthik Menon
BDS, MDS (Orthodontics)
Orthodontist · Aligners & braces
Karthik joined Navya in 2019 to lead its orthodontic work. He treats teenagers and adults with clear aligners and braces, and is known for explaining every stage on screen before anything starts. Check-ins are kept short, so treatment fits around work and school.
- Focus
- Clear aligners · Braces · Bite problems · Retainers
- Speaks
- English, Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi
Dr. Nisha Varghese
BDS, MDS (Paediatric Dentistry)
Visiting paediatric dentist · Saturdays
Nisha sees children every Saturday, from first teeth to teenage check-ups. Her visits are short, playful and paced by the child, which is why many of our youngest patients look forward to them.
Sterilisation
Clean, and you can check
Every instrument goes through the same five steps after every patient. Each autoclave cycle is logged, and you’re welcome to see the log.
Clean
Instruments are scrubbed and run through an ultrasonic cleaner.
Inspect and pouch
Each is checked, then sealed in a dated sterilisation pouch.
Sterilise
A Class B autoclave uses steam under pressure and vacuum cycles to sterilise inside and out.
Log
Every cycle is recorded and verified with indicator strips.
Open in front of you
Pouches are opened at your chair, so you can see they’re sealed.
Technology
Modern equipment, used when it helps
- Digital X-rays
- Instant, sharp images at a fraction of the radiation of film, taken only when there’s a reason to.
- 3D intraoral scanner
- A quick digital scan replaces messy impressions for crowns, implants and aligners.
- Intraoral camera
- Close-up photos on a screen beside you, so you see exactly what we see.
- Magnification
- Dental loupes for precise, conservative work during root canals and fillings.
