Meet your dentist
Dr. Pournami, BDS
Clinical Director & Lead Dentist at Bright Dental Solutions Varkala
Most days, Dr. Pournami is the dentist you will actually see. Patients write about the same three things afterwards: that she did not rush them, that she showed them the problem on the screen before treating it, and that she said plainly what needed doing and what could wait.

Know more about Dr. PournamiYou watch it on the screen
A 3D intraoral pen goes in and the inside of your mouth appears live on the TV beside the chair — so you see the problem yourself, not just hear about it.
Five minutes from the cliff
Kurakkanni, in north-west Varkala. Any auto-rickshaw driver knows it, and there’s no town traffic to sit in.
English and Malayalam
Every option and every step explained in whichever of the two you’d rather have it.
You leave with your records
A written summary and any X-rays we took, so your dentist at home can pick up exactly where we left off.
For Visitors
Why choose Varkala?
You came for the cliff, the surf and the backwaters. The tooth you have been postponing at home fits around all of it: a morning in the water, an unhurried appointment in a cool room five minutes up the road, and you are back out by evening. In English, at your own pace.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Where exactly will I find you?
We’re at Kurakkanni, Borniyamukku, Varkala, Kerala 695541 — in the north-west of Varkala, about 3.3 km from the town centre — around eight minutes by road, or five from the cliff and beach. Any auto-rickshaw driver will know Kurakkanni.
When are you open?
Monday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. We’re closed on Sundays, though we do keep slots free during the week for emergencies.
I’m visiting Varkala — can I book with you?
Yes, and plenty of visitors do. Consultations are in English, and we plan treatment around your travel dates. Message us before you fly and we’ll have a plan ready when you land.
What’s the fastest way to get an appointment?
WhatsApp is quickest — you’ll usually hear back within the hour during clinic times. You can also call us on +91 77361 71428 or use the contact page.
How many visits will it take?
You are told at the consultation, before anything starts. A cleaning or a filling is one visit; crowns, aligners and implants are staged over several, and we will say honestly which yours is rather than discovering it as we go.
I’m nervous about dentists. Is that a problem?
Not at all — it’s more common than you’d think, and it’s never judged here. Tell us when you arrive and we’ll go at your pace, explain each step before it happens, and stop whenever you need us to.
Book a visit
Call the clinic or send us a WhatsApp. We’ll find you a time, and you’ll know what to expect before you come in.
