About Dr. Dr. Ananya Sharma

Dr. Ananya Sharma is a General Dentist with 14 years of clinical experience and a focused postgraduate qualification in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry. She completed her BDS from Manipal College of Dental Sciences in 2008 and subsequently trained in aesthetic dentistry through the Indian Board of Aesthetic Dentistry, Mumbai. She has been practicing at SmileCraft Dental Studio in JP Nagar since 2013.

Her clinical scope covers the full breadth of general dentistry — root canal treatment, dental crowns, composite fillings, tooth extraction, and preventive care — alongside cosmetic procedures including teeth whitening, composite veneers, and smile makeover planning. She is particularly known for her conservative approach: consistently recommending the least invasive option that achieves the clinical outcome, rather than up-tiering to expensive procedures.

Dr. Sharma is a member of the Karnataka State Dental Council, the Indian Dental Association, and the Indian Academy of Aesthetic & Cosmetic Dentistry. She conducts regular patient education sessions at the clinic on cavity prevention and dietary habits — an unusual investment of time that her patients consistently cite in reviews.

Composite Veneers★★★★★
I wanted porcelain veneers for my front 6 teeth. Dr. Sharma explained I didn't need enamel removal — composite veneers in a single visit achieved a nearly identical result, saving me ₹60,000 and preserving my tooth structure.

Teeth Whitening★★★★☆
Very thorough initial consultation — she assessed whether whitening was appropriate before starting (flagged internal staining upfront). In-office whitening result was good and the clinic is well-organised.

JP Nagar, Bangalore · Root Canal + Crown

Completed Treatment

“I came in convinced I needed a root canal based on what another clinic told me. Dr. Sharma reviewed my X-ray and explained that the decay hadn't reached the pulp — a deep filling would work. She was right. No root canal needed. That honesty saved me ₹7,000 and a lot of anxiety. The filling has been perfect for 6 months now.”

“I wanted porcelain veneers for my front 6 teeth. Dr. Sharma took the time to explain that my teeth didn't need enamel removal — she could achieve nearly the same result with direct composite veneers in a single visit, saving me ₹60,000 and preserving my tooth structure. The result looks completely natural. I'm genuinely grateful for her conservative approach.”

“Very thorough initial consultation — she assessed whether whitening was even appropriate for my teeth before starting (I had some internal staining she flagged upfront). The in-office whitening result was good. Clinic is well-organised and she explains everything clearly. Minor wait time on my second visit, hence 4 stars.”

Capcane Independent Assessment

Capcane's Assessment: Dr. Ananya Sharma

Dr. Sharma stands out among Bangalore's general dentists for one consistent pattern: she recommends down, not up. Multiple Capcane users who visited her for second opinions on costly treatment plans — crown replacements, veneer packages, unnecessary root canals — have reported that she identified a more conservative path that achieved the same clinical outcome. Her postgraduate training in aesthetic dentistry makes her a strong choice for patients who want both function and cosmetic improvement handled by a single dentist, without being referred unnecessarily to specialists. For routine to mid-complexity general dentistry in South Bangalore, she is among the dentists Capcane recommends most consistently.

Good for

  • Second opinions on root canal vs filling decisions — she reads X-rays conservatively
  • Cosmetic work where you want honest advice on composite vs porcelain options
  • Families — she sees adults and older children at the same practice
  • Patients in JP Nagar and Bannerghatta Road corridor wanting a full-service general dentist
  • Smile makeover planning without being pushed toward unnecessary specialist referrals

Keep in mind

  • Does not place implants herself — refers to a trusted oral surgeon for surgical placement
  • Waiting time can be 10–20 minutes during peak hours (evenings especially)
  • Cosmetic cases that need complex porcelain lab work take 10–14 days for final restoration
  • Not a paediatric specialist — for children under 6 with specific needs, a dedicated paediatric dentist may be better
