Prema Dental Clinic & Dental Lab

Prema Dental Clinic & Dental Lab is a busy little place in Gokarn, near Kumta Taluk. We don’t just see patients for checkups; we actually have the lab right here where we make the dentures and crowns ourselves. It’s a lot of dusty work in the back with the grinders and the plaster. In the front, it’s all about the patients who come in from Gokarn and the surrounding villages. Sometimes they come from quite a distance near Kumta. The salt air from the coast can be tough on some of our metal tools, so we have to be careful about maintenance. We’ve been here for a while and most people know to find us near the main parts of town. The dental lab side of things keeps us busy even when there aren't patients in the chairs. We spend a lot of time looking at molds and trying to get the fit just right. It’s not a job for someone who doesn’t like small details. The clinic can get quite warm during the middle of the day, but we keep the fans going. People come in with toothaches or wanting a new smile, and we just do what we can with what we have. It’s a practical business, and we take pride in the fact that we do the lab work ourselves instead of sending it away to some big city lab. We like being part of Kumta Taluk.
