Dr. Malavika Prasanna, DDS

Dr. Prasanna is known for combining precise restorative dentistry with clear communication and strong patient collaboration. She works with patients to understand their dental goals, improve oral health, and build treatment plans that feel personal rather than generic. Her approach is relationship-driven, with every patient treated as someone whose comfort, confidence, and trust matter.

Education & Training

Dr. Prasanna began her dental studies at Government Dental College in Bangalore, India, where she was the top dental student in Prosthodontics. That early recognition reflects the restorative foundation that continues to shape her work today, especially in dentistry that rebuilds function, improves appearance, and supports long-term oral health.

After moving to the United States, Dr. Prasanna continued her dental education at New York University College of Dentistry. Her training in India and the U.S. gives her a broad clinical perspective and a deep respect for individualized care. It also helped lead her to Redmond, where she found a dental home and a community where she could build lasting patient relationships.

Why Dentistry

Dr. Prasanna’s commitment to dentistry centers on helping patients move from uncertainty to confidence. Restorative dentistry gives her the opportunity to solve real problems, whether a patient needs to repair a damaged tooth, rebuild chewing function, or feel better about their smile. She values the partnership that develops when patients understand their options and take an active role in their care.

That collaborative style has become one of the defining parts of her practice. Dr. Prasanna listens first, explains clearly, and builds recommendations around the patient’s goals as well as their oral health needs. For her, excellent dentistry is built on trust over time.

Philosophy of Care

"Each patient becomes a part of my family."

That philosophy guides the way Dr. Prasanna practices at Redmond Way Dentistry. She takes a personal interest in each patient’s experience, from the first conversation to the final restoration. Her goal is to provide high-quality general dentistry through a relationship that feels respectful, steady, and sincere.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

A first visit with Dr. Prasanna is unhurried and focused on understanding both dental health and smile goals. New patients receive a comprehensive dental exam, digital X-rays when needed, periodontal screening, oral cancer screening, and a review of current concerns. Dr. Prasanna explains findings in clear language and discusses treatment options with attention to prevention, restoration, comfort, and long-term stability. Patients leave with a practical plan and a clear understanding of the next steps.

Outside the Office

Outside the office, Dr. Prasanna is a loyal Seahawks fan and enjoys the local Seattle art and music scene. Most importantly, she loves spending time with her two children and family. Her life in the Redmond and greater Seattle community reflects the same warmth and connection she brings to patient care.
