Dentist for Thiruvanmiyur
Thiruvanmiyur is not short of dental clinics — around the Marundeeswarar Temple, along LB Road and near the bus depot there are plenty. Patients still make the eight-kilometre drive down ECR to us, and it is nearly always for one reason: they want the work done by a prosthodontist. Dr. Priya Dharshini, MDS (Prosthodontics) has spent sixteen years on exactly the cases general practice finds hardest — missing teeth, failing crowns, worn bites and full-mouth reconstruction.

Twenty Minutes South Along ECR
From the Thiruvanmiyur bus depot or the MRTS station, join ECR where the coast road begins and continue south through Kottivakkam, Palavakkam and Neelankarai. Turn into Teachers Colony in Vettuvankeni; we are on the second floor of Velu's Tectum. It is generally fifteen to twenty minutes, and it is the pleasant direction of travel — you are heading away from the city, not into it. ECR buses stop nearby and there is parking at the building.
Treatments We See Most From Thiruvanmiyur
The cases that bring Thiruvanmiyur patients down the coast road.
Dental Implants
From one missing tooth to a full arch on four implants, planned digitally and placed with guided surgery.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Rebuilding a bite that has worn down, collapsed or been patched together over many years.
Crowns, Veneers & Smile Design
Front-tooth work where shade, shape and proportion have to be right the first time.
Braces & Clear Aligners
Orthodontic treatment for teenagers and adults, including near-invisible aligner options.
A Second Opinion Worth Having
A fair number of the Thiruvanmiyur patients we meet arrive holding a treatment plan from somewhere else, unsure whether four implants are really necessary or whether a tooth marked for extraction can be saved. We are happy to look. Bring your X-rays and the plan; you will get a straight assessment of what we would do and why, including the parts of the other plan we agree with. There is no obligation to switch clinics, and we will say so if the plan in your hand is a good one.
When a General Dentist Isn’t Quite Enough
Most dental problems sit well within the scope of a good general dentist, and it would be silly to suggest otherwise. The line tends to get crossed in a few specific situations: replacing several teeth at once, matching a single front crown to the natural tooth beside it, restoring a bite worn down over decades, or salvaging implant and crown work that has already failed once. Those need prosthodontic training, and getting them right the first time costs considerably less — in money and in teeth — than correcting them later.
