Routine care led by experienced dentists · MDS specialists a corridor away

Preventive Dental Specialists in Coimbatore Meet the preventive dentistry team at Arasu Dental Care

The cheapest dental problem is the one we find while it is still small. At Arasu Dental Care, your routine dental care — checkups, professional cleaning, fluoride protection and early fillings — is led by dentists who do this every day, at both our RS Puram and Saibaba Colony branches, seven days a week. A 2024 review covering more than 33,000 people found that 42.8% of Tamil Nadu's population has dental caries — most of it silent until it hurts. Our preventive team exists to catch it before that point.

If you are looking for a dentist to take long-term charge of your family's oral health — not just fix one tooth — this page introduces the doctors who will actually see you.

The Discipline

What does a preventive dental specialist actually do?

Preventive dentistry is the discipline of keeping teeth out of trouble: structured examinations, digital X-rays only when they are indicated, scaling and polishing, fluoride application, sealants, tooth-coloured fillings while cavities are still shallow, and a recall schedule matched to your actual risk rather than a blanket rule.

An honest note on the word “specialist”: in India, adult preventive dentistry is not a separate MDS degree — prevention is led by experienced general dentists, with recognised specialists behind them for anything they find. That is exactly how we have structured it. Your preventive care at Arasu Dental Care is led by our general dentistry team, and when an examination turns up something deeper — gum disease, a tooth that needs root canal treatment, a bite problem — you are handed to the in-house MDS specialist for that field the same week, often the same day. You do not get referred out of the building.

How to read ‘preventive specialist’ honestly: the right doctor for routine care is an experienced general dentist — and the real advantage of a multispecialty clinic is the qualified bench behind them. You get both here, under one roof.

The dentists who lead your preventive care

These are the doctors who will actually see you for checkups, cleaning, fluoride and early fillings — supported by a full multispecialty bench for anything an examination turns up.

General Dentist · 9 years in clinical practice

Routine & family dentistry

Dr. Neela brings nine years of clinical practice to routine and family dentistry at Arasu Dental Care. Her approach is gentle and deliberately conservative: she is committed to ethical, quality care that looks at your overall wellbeing, not just the tooth in front of her — which in preventive dentistry mostly means telling you honestly when something can simply be watched rather than treated.

Under One Roof

The specialist bench behind them

What makes preventive care at a multispecialty clinic different is what happens when a checkup finds something. At Arasu Dental Care, the escalation path is in the same building — not a referral letter away.

Gum findings → Periodontics

Bleeding on probing, deep pockets or recession go to , who holds an Associate Fellowship in Laser Dentistry from the World Clinical Laser Institute (WCLI), USA.

Deep cavity → Endodontics

A cavity that has reached the pulp goes to Dr. L.S. Priyanka, backed by more than 1,000 root canal procedures completed at our practice.

Bite & alignment → Orthodontics

Bite, alignment and jaw-joint findings go to our founder Dr. P.S. Sree Cumar, MDS Orthodontics, Fellow of the World Federation of Orthodontists (USA) and Dentist of the Year – South Region at the ET Healthcare Awards 2023.

Children → Pediatric dentistry

First visits, cleanings, sealants and habit guidance are handled by our pediatric dentistry team in a child-friendly setup designed to make the first visit a good memory.

Prevention led by general dentists, specialists on the same corridor — that is the whole point of a multispecialty clinic. Browse the full team on our doctors page.

Your First Visit

What your preventive visit looks like

A first preventive visit at either branch takes around 30–45 minutes. Here is what happens, step by step.

1

A full examination

Your dentist examines every tooth surface and your gums, and takes an IOPA X-ray or OPG only if something needs confirming — not by default.

2

Explained in plain language

You are walked through what was found in plain language, with photographs where it helps, so you can see exactly what your dentist sees.

3

Cleaning & a clear plan

If a professional cleaning is due, scaling and polishing is usually completed the same sitting. You leave with a written note and an honest recall interval.

You leave with a written note of anything being watched, anything that needs treating, and an honest recall interval — six months for most people, shorter only if your risk genuinely calls for it.

Research puts dental caries prevalence at around 62% among Indian adults, and most of those cavities began as small, cheap-to-fix lesions. The entire economics of preventive dentistry rests on that fact: a checkup and an early filling cost a fraction of the root canal and crown the same tooth needs two years later.

When a preventive dentist is not what you need: if you already have persistent gum bleeding, a tooth that aches at night, or a long-standing bite problem, book the relevant specialist directly rather than a routine checkup — you will save a visit. We will route you honestly either way.
For active gum disease, start with our periodontics team; for a painful or previously root-canal-treated tooth, our endodontic team; for children, the pediatric dentists. Everything else — checkups, cleaning, fluoride, early fillings — starts right here. See the dental checkup page for what a full examination covers.

Why Arasu

Why families choose Arasu Dental Care for preventive dentistry

Since 2017, we have built the clinic around one idea: you should never feel sold a treatment. Our preventive dentists work with no procedure targets, the fee schedule is transparent, and every finding is explained before anything is recommended. Behind the preventive team sits a genuine multispecialty bench — orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics and implantology under one roof — so the day a checkup finds something, the right specialist is a corridor away, not a referral letter away.

We are open every day of the week, 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM, because prevention only works if the visit fits your life. Choose whichever branch is closer:

  • RS Puram: 129, W Sambandam Road, R.S. Puram, Coimbatore 641002 · +91 88380 22157
  • Saibaba Colony: 160, NSR Road, Saibaba Colony, Coimbatore 641011 · +91 74491 88777
Individual results vary based on oral hygiene, diet, existing dental history and how consistently recall visits are kept. A consultation with our dentists is the only reliable way to know what your mouth actually needs.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

A general dentist is the right doctor for routine preventive care — that is the discipline they practise daily. At Arasu Dental Care your checkup is led by our general dentistry team, and if anything needs specialist attention, the in-house MDS specialist for that field takes over without an outside referral.

For most adults, once every six months keeps plaque and tartar from establishing. If you have a history of gum problems, build tartar quickly, or smoke, your dentist may honestly recommend a shorter interval — the recall is set to your risk, not a fixed rule.

A dental consultation at either branch is ₹300–₹500. X-rays, if needed, are ₹200–₹300 for a single-tooth IOPA and ₹400–₹600 for a full-mouth OPG. Fees are confirmed with you before anything is done.

No — this is the most common myth we correct. Scaling removes hardened tartar sitting on the tooth and under the gum line. Teeth can feel slightly more exposed for a few days because the deposit that was covering them is gone, but the enamel itself is not cut or thinned by professional cleaning.

Children are seen by our dedicated pediatric dentistry team, in a setup designed around a positive first visit — cleanings, fluoride, sealants and habit guidance included. Booking the family together on the same day is common and easy since we are open all week.

Both branches — RS Puram (+91 88380 22157) and Saibaba Colony (+91 74491 88777) — offer the full preventive service range with the same fee schedule, every day from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Pick whichever is closer.

Yes, and the arithmetic is simple: a consultation plus an early filling costs a small fraction of the root canal and crown the same tooth needs once decay reaches the pulp. With studies showing dental caries in around 62% of Indian adults, the odds that a checkup catches something worth catching are genuinely high.
