Dr. K A Mohan: 47 Years of Trusted Dental Care in Bangalore
With a city like Bangalore constantly on the fast track to progress and change, it is difficult to find a healthcare professional with the skill and integrity to deliver first-class care. However, for the last twenty-five years Dr. K A Mohan has been a name synonymous with dental care for the community of Indiranagar and Koramangala — and with good reason!
For over 47 years of continuous practice in dentistry and orthodontics, Dr. Mohan’s work is based on clinical integrity and expertise, a grounded patient first philosophy and continuing professional development. Let's take a closer look at his background, practice and what his approach to dental care features amid so many other options available in the field.
A Lifetime of Experience
When Dr. K A Mohan started his dental career in 1969 after completing his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) at Govt. Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore, few people could imagine this success journey. He went on to finish his Master’s in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics in 1977, again at the same institution.
"I've treated three generations of some families," Dr. Mohan once said to a colleague, "and every patient is still teaching me something."
His almost fifty years of clinical practice demonstrates a quiet and unwavering consistency, and based on skill and confidence, not simply familiarity. It is this continuity that has led him to be respected not only by his patients but also as a member of the dental community of Karnataka.
Specialization
Dr. Mohan specializes in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics - this specialized field helps to align teeth and has the potential to correct jaws and facial structure. To practice Orthodontics, both precision and foresight are required. Over the years, Dr. Mohan has developed a reputation for consistency and uses conservative, evidence-based options to facilitate treatment decisions. Most of Dr. Mohan's patients report they feel heard and part of the treatment decision-making process - this is not easy to come by in clinical practices.
Offered Services
Dr. Mohan works with Dental DeCare, his current practice with locations in Indiranagar and Koramangala 3rd Block, which customizes and provides a full service dental experience under one roof, including:
- Orthodontic treatment (braces and aligners for all ages)
- Preventative dentistry (regular check-ups and cleanings)
- Restorative procedures (crowns, bridges, fillings)

Dr. Mohan is also well known for advising parents in determining when their child may benefit from early orthodontic treatment. He believes in treating at the right time rather than rushing treatment.

Karnataka State Dental Council

Indian Dental Association
Memberships show a dedication to staying current with changing standards and contributing to the larger network of practitioners in India.
Clinic Atmosphere and Beliefs
Patients consistently describe Dental DeCare as “unpretentious, efficient, and quiet.” It is not luxurious, but it is functional — built for purpose over appearance. Dr. Mohan seeks patient comfort, avoids unnecessary treatments, and takes the time to provide patients simple explanations.
“Patients do not need to be wowed, they need to be cared for and told the truth” he has been noted to say.
An important reason for his high patient retention (many for decades) is his matter of fact nature and truthfulness. His return and referral are mainly via word of mouth.
Endurance and Active Practice -
Dr. Mohan spends more than 40 years practicing dentistry, and he is still engaged in practicing. That in itself is telling. Rather than retire, he continues to actively practice at both the Indiranagar and Koramangala branches. His staying power is not about creating an empire. It is about serving his community and maintaining his skills as a practitioner. In an era where many dental practices are becoming increasingly commercialization driven, Dr. Mohan's approach is refreshingly human.
Patients Trust Dr. Mohan Because:
- Consistency--he has demonstrated his fidelity to clinical work over the years and never pursued management or franchise.
- Transparency--he clearly articulates treatment plans without jargon and without pushing patients one way or the other.
- Workability--Dr. Mohan listens and speaks less than the majority of patients; he listens very well, which builds patient trust.
- Stability--he brings years of experience that lend to a sense of calm confidence while consulting with patients.
