About Dr. Prashanth Kanakamedala

A Family Dentist Who Puts People First

For me, dentistry has never been just about teeth.

It's about helping people feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. Over the years, I've had the privilege of looking after patients at different stages of life, from young children attending their first dental appointment to adults and seniors maintaining their oral health for years to come.

What matters most to me is building trust. Every patient deserves to feel heard, understood, and involved in decisions about their dental care.

That's why I believe in listening first, explaining clearly, and recommending treatment based on individual needs rather than assumptions.

My Journey

I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the University of Liverpool and have spent more than 28 years practising dentistry across the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore.

Since moving to Singapore in 2013, I have enjoyed caring for a diverse community of local and international patients. Working across different healthcare systems has taught me that while techniques and technologies evolve, the foundations of good dental care remain the same: trust, communication, and consistency.
