About Us

From living with excruciating neck pain for 20 odd years to now being completely rid of it, I have started to believe that 'miracles do happen' ! The pain was such that it would start at my neck and radiate to the top of my head. I have been to countless doctors but no one was able to figure out the root cause. Dr Ashwin promptly diagnosed the problem to be a misaligned jaw and prescribed an Orthotic which I have been using for the last 3 months. It's only when the pain in my neck went away, that I even realised how much I was suffering from it. And this has had such a huge impact on so many aspects of my life such as my sleep, yoga practise, running, work and meditation. Eternally grateful to Dr. Ashwin for what he's done for me. This feeling of relief is priceless!

I had the best experience at the clinic.

My conditions have gotten much better than before. Dr.Ashwin explains about the details of the problems the patient is suffering from and pays attention to every minute thing.

Dr. Ashwin is a fine dentist with vast knowledge and passion in his field.

His attention to detail is fantastic, goes the extra mile every time and invests time in his patients, and cares enough to ask the tiniest detail. These things alone make him stand head and shoulders over the rest of the crowd.

I cannot think of going anywhere else for my dental work. Though I live in Bangalore, I would rather go to him that anyone else. If you want a good dentist who will examine you with patience and empathy, look no further than Dr. Ashwin Ramakrishnan.

My word on it.

Dr. Ashwin is, without a doubt, the best doctor I've ever encountered. His dedication to his work is truly exceptional.

Unlike my previous experiences with other doctors who simply recommended a dental crown for my jaw pain, whereas Dr. Ashwin took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and after performing some important tests, he explained the underlying issues causing my discomfort.

Not only did my tooth-related problems vanish, but he also addressed other related issues that had been plaguing me. Thanks to him, I'm now free from any kind of dental issues. I Highly recommend him to anyone seeking relief from dental and jaw-related issues.

In April 2023, I visited Dr. Ashwin for a root canal check-up. Upon examination, Dr. Ashwin diagnosed another issue with my teeth. My jaws were shivering when I opened and closed my mouth. He also noticed some alignment problems with my teeth. He performed a digital bite scan (T-Scan) and discovered imbalances in my bite.

I regularly experienced pain in my temples, neck, and headaches, which I had attributed to the cold weather in the UK. It had even been misdiagnosed as sinus related. I never thought that teeth misalignment could be the cause of these problems!

After a thorough examination, X-ray, and T-Scan, Dr. Ashwin suggested DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) therapy. Following the DTR and TENS therapy sessions, and without the need for any medication, I found relief from the pain in my temples, neck, and headaches. I also used to gasp while talking or walking fast,but now I have stopped doing that. It's now so much easier to chew my food; previously, I was only using the right side of my mouth to chew.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Ashwin and his team for providing the correct diagnosis and offering a solution to my ailment.

Headache, tense and clicking jaw joints, neck pain, restless sleep.. These had been troubling me for years until I happened to talk to Dr. Ashwin during a visit to his clinic. He gave me a dental orthotic which I wore for a month.

What convinced me to go ahead with the treatment was the hours I spent sleeping during the first few days of using the orthotic. Full eight-hour nights, along with a couple of hours during the day. I’d never felt so rested in years, with considerably reduced headache and relaxed muscles around my jaw and neck!

I was also surprised to see how much easier it became to chew my food.

Needless to say, I’m extremely happy that I got treated, and would recommend a checkup with Dr. Ashwin to anyone with similar symptoms.

Waking up with tightness in my neck almost seemed routine. It was not something I paid a lot of attention to as I attributed this to my exercising sometimes excessively.

It was a chance meeting with Dr.Ashwin that gave me an inkling that this was a bite problem, one that could easily be corrected with a non-invasive procedure.

My treatment complete, I now wake up with rarely any soreness in my neck. Even the tension in my jaw that I used to feel often has disappeared. The memory is so blurry, it’s like these days never existed.

My Husband Dr.Kumar Alva, a dentist himself, had vertigo and migraine for years. He had a severe episode last year when he was bedridden for a few days. He was unable to drive and play football, which were among his favourite activities.

Dr. Ashwin diagnosed it as symptoms of TMD. He suggested treatment using a custom orthotic followed by correcting his bite. His incorrect bite being the root cause of this problem, he was able to address it right at the source of pain.

I was amazed to see the total change in him. Not only was he back at his clinic in perfect health, but he was also back to playing football and driving which he always loved to do.

The conversation with Dr. Ashwin started with my complaint of snoring and subsequent sleep apnoea. Of waking up tired each day and not knowing why my sleep was not restful as all other health parameters were normal.

A visit to his clinic and a quick and yet thorough check with his sensors and gadgets pointed out that my teeth and bite were not properly aligned. Therefore, my mouth was not closing right., because of which my facial muscles were tensed and probably led to the breathing issues.

After a thorough and painless clinical diagnosis session with Dr. Ashwin, he was immediately able to identify and rectify the problem. Enough said, I now have been sleeping sound and throughout the night. My breathing too has become easier and deeper.

I would recommend a TMD assessment for anyone with similar sleep issues. In most cases a simple corrective measure will solve a huge problem and, in all probability improve your overall wellness and quality of life.

For more than a year, I had recurrent episodes of severe headaches, and I am guilty of taking Voveran, Sibelium and a sleeping pill just to get rid of my pain. There have been days when I also had neck and shoulder pain, along with giddiness. All this kept snowballing and I finally broke down when I was in constant pain for more than a week.

I even soaked local anaesthesia in a cotton roll to numb my face just so I can eat.That is when I was put through to Dr. Ashwin. You don’t really expect your dentist to ask you details regarding your sleep etc, but Dr. Ashwin knew exactly what I was going through. This was an absolute relief.

Right after my first session of TENS and DTR, I have been completely pain free, without any medication. I have been able to eat properly without fear of pain, so much so that I’ve gained weight. Now I can sleep properly and never had a single episode of headache since then. Now people keep asking me “where was this girl all this time?” They too noticed that my face is now relaxed.

I am truly grateful to Dr. Ashwin from the bottom of my heart for treating the root cause of my pain, and most importantly for giving me back myself.

"For years, I had severe neck aches after long drives, headaches on and off, and a slight earache sometimes. I always thought these aches were related to the stresses of daily life. With a quick assessment of my dental structure & BITE during a vacation in Calicut, Dr. Ashwin was able to tell me that my dental alignment may have been the cause of the problem, as it was a little off.

He made a few minor adjustments to my teeth. In the weeks that followed, I found myself much more comfortable with simple things like eating and sleeping. Also, the headaches and neck aches went away. I'm so happy I got my bite corrected, which improved my overall wellbeing so significantly."

On 3rd January ’22 I experienced the worst pain ever. It started as discomfort in my left ear, and eventually spread to the entire side of my face. This was initially misdiagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgia. I also had migraine, neck and shoulder pain, vertigo, and sleep disturbances.

I was then referred to Dr.Ashwin to check for TMD. He did a thorough examination and advised diagnostic records such as a digital bite scan and X rays to confirm the same. With the use of a custom orthotic, TENS and physiotherapy, I was pain free in a months’ time. Five months later, Dr.Ashwin did DTR therapy (T scan guided bite force correction).

Now I am the happiest person as I am completely pain free and sleep well. I also have a clear understanding of why I had these issues.

My intention is to spread awareness about this treatment modality to as many people as possible. This testimony is for Dr.Ashwin who gave me back my happiness, without medication.

"I’m happy to have consulted with Dr.Ashwin, who was able to understand the real reasons for my health issues. I really appreciate the way he took the time to explain my health condition (TMD) and its treatment options with me.

Earlier, every day I used to wake up too tired and with a severe headache. My Jaws were in constant pain, along with my neck, shoulders, arms and back.

After I was treated for TMD by Dr.Ashwin, I experienced a huge difference in me. I sleep well now without any headache, and wake up fresh in the morning. My other pains have reduced as well. I also noticed a drastic change in my behavior. Earlier I was constantly irritated, but now I am much more relaxed.

I am thankful to Dr.Ashwin and his staff for their excellent treatment and care."

I had been having a gnawing pain in my head and neck for almost a year. Sometimes it got so intense that I would be forced to take a break from my work schedule. After a series of visits to various specialists, a battery of tests and scans and two months of medication for stress induced migraine, these headaches were still an” unpleasant” part of my life.

It was a friend who suggested Dr Ashwin. In spite of hearing about the bite correction procedure, I was not convinced since I never thought dental corrections could cure headaches. To my surprise right after the procedure, my headaches reduced. It did take almost 5 sittings to complete the whole process.

Now after a year, I am headache free. Besides being a diligent person, Dr Ashwin was very patient with all my queries and concerns. I knew my teeth were in safe hands because he gave so much attention even to the minutest details. I wish I had done this earlier and spared myself of all the pain and discomfort I had to go through!

Ever felt that you're drowning from a cause that you can't identify?

From difficulty falling asleep, anxiety, hyperexcitability and lethargy, I was tired of all this and on top of it I had 2 impacted teeth. That's when I met Dr. Ashwin, in a plea to fix my teeth up so that at least I had one problem sorted.

Within 5 minutes of checking me he identified all my problems, and he suggested I get treated for TMD. That journey was about 2 months long with him, and here I am a year later setting PRs in the gym and on the football field without even a strain of anxiety or lethargy.

My issue with TMD was well handled by Dr. Ashwin and I'm very grateful to him for helping me get my life back. Thank you Dr.Ashwin.

About five years back I had the worst headache I ever experienced. I felt tired even though I slept the previous night.

Like most people I relied on paracetamol for relief. And it usually worked but for only a very short period... And so started my friendship with migraine tablets. With all the frustration of not getting better, I felt it hard even to manage my daily normal routine. Luckily I happened to meet Dr Ashwin at a social gathering. In our conversation I mentioned my problems.

To my surprise he said I might have a dental problem. He added it may be a problem with my teeth & jaw alignment. At first I thought it was a joke. The very next day I went to his clinic. In three visits magically the pain disappeared. To me Dr Ashwin is a magician. With his top class act he made vanish an agony I had for years. its been years and still the pain has never relapsed.

We have specialists for every part of our body. From my experience I understood that the problem is not always at the place that we think it is. With no doubt Dr Ashwin Ramkrishnan is the best expert in town for an issue like this. His passion and dedication is commendable. From the bottom of my heart I am thankful for the treatment I received from him.
