Dr. Lokesh Babu K T Babu Reviews

As an 82-year-old with severe dental anxiety, I was terrified of getting my dentures adjusted. Dr. Lokesh Babu spent 20 minutes just talking to me about my gardening hobby before even looking at my mouth. His gentle approach and the way he explained each step made me feel like I was with family. The Manipal Hospital staff were equally wonderful.

Our 6-year-old son needed two baby teeth extracted after a playground fall. Dr. Lokesh turned what could have been traumatic into an adventure - he called himself the 'Tooth Fairy's helper' and let our son hold the mirror to watch the 'magic.' No tears, only excitement!

I came in with a dental emergency at 8 PM - an abscess that had me in excruciating pain. Despite the late hour, Dr. Lokesh came to the hospital personally, drained the infection, and followed up with three calls over the weekend to check on me. This level of care is rare these days.

After years of hiding my smile due to crooked teeth, I underwent complex orthognathic surgery with Dr. Lokesh. The detailed 3D planning session where he showed me exactly how my jaw would be repositioned gave me complete confidence. The results have been life-changing.

My routine cleaning turned into an early oral cancer detection. Dr. Lokesh noticed a tiny patch I hadn't even seen and immediately arranged for a biopsy. His vigilance might have saved my life - early detection made all the difference in treatment.

As a professional violinist, my front tooth crown replacement had to be perfect. Dr. Lokesh understood the pressure sensitivity required for my profession and crafted a crown that feels and functions exactly like my natural tooth. He even tested my embouchure during fittings!

My mother with dementia needed multiple extractions. Dr. Lokesh modified his entire approach - using simple language, constant reassurance, and involving me in every decision. His patience with her confusion and repetition was extraordinary.

I traveled from Dubai specifically for full-mouth rehabilitation with implants. The virtual consultations beforehand, detailed treatment plan, and the way the Manipal team coordinated my overseas follow-ups made the complex process seamless.

When my dental implant failed after another dentist's work, Dr. Lokesh not only fixed the problem but explained exactly what went wrong without criticizing his colleague. His professional integrity and technical skill saved my smile.

As a pregnant patient needing urgent root canal, I was nervous about anesthesia. Dr. Lokesh consulted with my obstetrician, used pregnancy-safe protocols, and completed the procedure with exceptional care. He even adjusted the chair for my comfort.

My teenage daughter needed wisdom teeth removal but was terrified. Dr. Lokesh created a 'comfort menu' letting her choose music, blanket, and even scent during the procedure. His innovative approach to patient anxiety is remarkable.

After a car accident left me with multiple broken teeth, Dr. Lokesh coordinated with maxillofacial surgeons to create a comprehensive reconstruction plan. His attention to both function and aesthetics restored my confidence completely.

As a diabetic patient with gum disease, Dr. Lokesh's holistic approach impressed me. He consulted with my endocrinologist, adjusted my treatment timing around insulin peaks, and educated me about the diabetes-dental health connection.

I brought my special needs son for his first dental visit. Dr. Lokesh spent the first appointment just building trust - no instruments, just counting teeth with a finger and showing him each tool. By the third visit, my son willingly sat through a full cleaning.
