About the clinic
The clinic opened as a two-surgery practice on Ward Place in 2009. Seventeen years later it is three practices and seventeen surgeries, and the founding principle has not moved: nobody should have treatment they do not understand.
What we stand for
These are not marketing lines. They are the specific rules that shape how appointments are booked, how long they run and what happens before any treatment starts.
Every examination ends with a written, itemised plan sent to you by email. Nothing is booked, started or charged for until you have read it and agreed. If we find something unexpected mid-treatment, we stop and talk to you.
We would rather monitor a small area of wear for two years than drill it today. Where a cheaper or slower option is genuinely reasonable, we will tell you — including when the reasonable option is to do nothing at all.
Our appointment lengths are set by what the treatment actually takes, not by how many patients fit in a day. It is the main reason our patients say they do not feel rushed, and the main reason we run to time.
Continuity matters in dentistry. Our clinical team has been largely unchanged for six years, so the person who planned your treatment is almost always the person who carries it out.
Our history
The clinic has never been part of a dental group. Every decision about equipment, staffing and appointment length has been made in the building.
Dr. Amara Wijesinghe opens a two-surgery practice in Colombo 07 with a single dental nurse and a second-hand chair.
A second practice opens on High Level Road, built around evening and weekend appointments for working families.
Dr. Rohan Fernando joins as specialist orthodontist and Dr. Kavindu Silva establishes the surgical list, bringing braces, aligners and oral surgery in-house.
The Ward Place practice expands to eight surgeries with a dedicated surgical suite, CBCT imaging and a purpose-built decontamination department.
A fourth-generation building on Lewis Place is refitted as a four-surgery coastal practice with visiting specialist clinics.
Real-time online booking, automated reminders and secure reschedule links go live across the group, cutting missed appointments by a third.
Equipment
Equipment is only worth listing if it changes the treatment. Each of these does.
Three-dimensional scanning at the Colombo practice for implant planning and complex surgical assessment, at a fraction of the dose of a medical CT.
Digital impressions instead of putty trays for crowns, aligners, whitening trays and retainers. Faster, more comfortable and more accurate.
Loupes and coaxial illumination for all restorative and endodontic work, so what we are treating is actually visible.
Digital sensors throughout, using a fraction of the radiation dose of film. Images appear on screen immediately and we review them with you.
Fine-powder polishing for tea, coffee, tobacco and betel staining — far more comfortable than traditional prophylaxis paste.
Precise measurement of root canal length during endodontic treatment, which reduces both radiographs and re-treatment.
Sterilisation and safety
This is the part of a dental practice nobody sees and everybody should be able to ask about. Any patient is welcome to look at our decontamination room and our autoclave logs.
Every instrument entering a patient's mouth is single-use or is cleaned in a washer-disinfector and sterilised in a vacuum autoclave, then pouched, dated and stored. Each cycle is logged.
All autoclaves are validated annually by an external engineer, and daily and weekly test cycles are recorded in a log you are welcome to inspect.
Dental unit water lines are treated continuously and tested quarterly against microbial standards.
Needles, scalpel blades, matrix bands, prophylaxis cups, suction tips and endodontic files are single-patient use without exception.
Every surface a clinician touches is either barrier-protected or disinfected between patients, and surgeries are reset fully between appointments.
Radiograph quality, record keeping and infection control are audited internally every six months, with results reviewed by the clinical director.
Practical things
If any of this is a barrier for you, tell us when you book. We can almost always arrange something.
Consultations are available in English, Sinhala, Tamil. Tell us which you would prefer when you book and we will schedule you with a clinician who speaks it.
Written treatment plans can be provided in Sinhala or Tamil on request.
