Negombo, Sri Lanka · Since 2020
Calm, honest dentistry
on St. Joseph's Street.
Aster Dental Studio is a small modern clinic for families, children and visitors to Negombo. Message us on WhatsApp and you'll usually have a reply in under thirty minutes.
What we do differently
If nothing needs doing,
we tell you — and we
don't charge you for it.
Most people don't come to a dentist worried about the dentistry. They come worried about the bill they'll be handed at the end, for work they had no way of judging. So we took that question off the table.
01
You see what we see
Every finding goes up on the screen next to your chair, tooth by tooth. You get told what needs doing now, what can be watched, and what can safely be left alone.
02
The price is the price
Everything we do is listed further down this page with its cost. That's the figure we confirm with you before we start, and the figure you pay at the counter.
03
Your appointment time is yours
You're given a time, and we keep it. No waiting room with ten other people all booked for nine o'clock, and no being rushed once you're in the chair.

Services and prices
Eight things,
done properly.
We deliberately keep the list short. These are the treatments we do often enough to do well, and every one of them has its price printed here rather than quoted at the counter.
Where a range is shown, the figure depends on the tooth and how much work it actually needs. We confirm the exact amount with you before anything starts.

Check up and clean
Start here
A full look at everything, a proper clean, and a straight answer about what — if anything — needs doing next.
Rs 6,500
-
Kids check up
Unhurried, and at their pace. A nervous first-timer can spend the whole visit just sitting in the chair and looking around.
Rs 4,000
-
Tooth coloured filling
Matched to the tooth, so it doesn't announce itself.
Rs 6,000–12,000
-
Extraction
A routine removal, under local anaesthetic.
Rs 4,500–8,000
-
Wisdom tooth (surgical)
For teeth that can't be lifted out simply, and need a surgical approach.
Rs 22,000–45,000
-
Root canal
Usually two visits. Most people who need one arrive in pain, and this is the treatment that ends it.
Rs 25,000–55,000
-
Crown (zirconia)
For a tooth that needs rebuilding rather than filling.
Rs 55,000–85,000
-
Teeth whitening
One appointment, under ninety minutes, nothing to come back for.
Rs 42,000
Rs 42,000 · Under 90 minutes
Whitening, in a single sitting.
One appointment, one price, and nothing to come back for afterwards. Popular before a wedding, and with visitors who'd rather have it done here than at home.

The five things
we get asked most.
-
Rs 6,500 for an adult check up and clean, and Rs 4,000 for a child's check up. That's the whole visit — the examination, the clean, and a clear answer about what happens next.
-
Please book. It's the reason we can give you a real appointment time and keep it, instead of a room full of people all waiting on the same hour. Message us on WhatsApp and you'll usually hear back within thirty minutes during clinic hours.
If something has broken or you're in pain, say so in the message — we'll do what we can to see you the same day.
-
A check up and clean doesn't need an injection. Anything beyond that — a filling, an extraction, a root canal — is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb before we begin. We'll tell you exactly what we're about to do, before we do it.
“Treatment itself was painless, didn't even feel the injection.”
Nuwan Perera, patient review -
Very. If a child is frightened, the first visit doesn't have to include any treatment at all — they can sit in the chair, look at everything, and go home. The second visit is almost always easier because of it.
“Dr Nayomi let him sit on the chair first and just look around, no treatment on the first day. Second visit he opened his mouth without any problem.”
Shanika P., patient review -
No, and nobody here will make you feel bad about it. We start from today. If there's a lot to do, we'll tell you what's urgent, what can wait, and split it across visits so it's manageable.
“I had not gone to a dentist in almost 7 years because I was embarrassed. Nobody made me feel bad about it. She just said we start from today.”

Patient reviews
In their words,
not ours.
Took my 6 year old son here after a bad experience at another place where he cried the whole time. Dr Nayomi let him sit on the chair first and just look around, no treatment on the first day. Second visit he opened his mouth without any problem. Cannot explain how relieved I am.
Shanika P.
Went in expecting to be told I need 4 or 5 fillings like the last clinic said. Doctor showed me each tooth on the screen and said only one needed doing now, rest can be watched. Saved me around 30,000. Honesty is rare these days.
Mohamed R.
On holiday from the UK and cracked a molar on the second day. Messaged on WhatsApp in the morning and they saw me at 2pm same day. Clean clinic, modern equipment, and the price was a fraction of what I would pay at home. Handled the crown before I flew back.
Emma T.
Very good service and the doctor explains everything properly. Only issue is parking on that road is difficult in the evening. Treatment itself was painless, didn't even feel the injection.
Nuwan Perera
I had not gone to a dentist in almost 7 years because I was embarrassed. Nobody made me feel bad about it. She just said we start from today. Did the cleaning in two sittings and now I go every 6 months. Whole family goes there now.
Dilrukshi F.
The thing I appreciate is you get a proper appointment time and they actually keep it. No sitting for one hour with 10 other people. Prices were exactly what was on the website, no extra charges at the counter.

Meet the dentist
Dr Nayomi
Aster Dental Studio has had the same dentist since it opened in 2020. When you book, she's who you see — at the first visit, and at every one after it.
“I want people to be treated like a person, not like someone to make money from.”
Dr Nayomi
That shows up in small, unglamorous ways: explaining a finding twice if it didn't land the first time, letting a frightened six-year-old do nothing at all on their first visit, and saying this can wait when it can wait.
The clinic
A small room, kept quiet and kept clean.
