Our Clinical Team

Skilled clinicians. Attentive listeners.

We believe high clinical capability is only half of great dentistry. The other half is empathy, patience, and treating you like an intelligent partner in your own health.

Founder & Lead Clinician

Dr. Ananya Rao, MDS

Specialist in Conservative Dentistry & Restorative Dental Surgery

Dr. Ananya completed her Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, followed by extensive training in biomimetic adhesive restorations and dental phobia management.

She established Luma Dental House after observing how often clinical dental care creates unnecessary fear and stress. Her practice ethos centers on preserving natural enamel, utilizing quiet electric instruments, and instituting an unbending pause-on-demand hand-signal protocol for nervous patients.

"Dental fear is completely understandable. When a patient sits in my chair, my first responsibility isn't to look at their teeth — it's to listen to their story, understand their anxieties, and make sure they feel completely safe."

Orthodontics & Clear Aligners

Dr. Karthik Subramanian, MDS

Specialist in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics

With over a decade of clinical orthodontic experience, Dr. Karthik focuses on digitally guided clear aligner systems and adult cosmetic alignment. He views orthodontics not merely as straightening teeth, but as balancing facial harmony, airway function, and long-term joint health.

Dr. Karthik spends considerable time during consultations walking patients through 3D simulations of their treatment steps. He believes patients should clearly see how each tooth will move before making any financial or lifestyle commitment.

"A great smile should look like it belongs to you naturally — never cookie-cutter or artificially flared. Modern 3D digital planning allows us to craft that balance with utmost gentleness."

Pediatric & Preventive Care

Dr. Meera Nambiar, MDS

Specialist in Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry

Dr. Meera holds an MDS in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry and has dedicated her career to helping children, toddlers, and young teens experience dental health with joy and confidence.

Her gentle demeanor and expertise in positive behavior guidance transform dental visits from stressful encounters into fun, educational milestones. She works closely with Chennai parents on nutritional habit counselling, fissure sealants, and early interception of breathing or bite imbalances.

"Children don't fear the dentist naturally — they fear the unexpected. By showing them tools, letting them touch the water spray, and counting teeth together, fear is replaced with wonder."
