About your clinician

Dr Srikanth Karumuri

A dentist who genuinely believes that everyone deserves access to comfortable dental care — no matter how long it's been since your last visit.

Dr Srikanth Karumuri

A path shaped by education and empathy

Dr Srikanth Karumuri — known to his patients as Dr Sri — began his dental career with a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in India, where he also gained specialist-level training in paediatric dentistry.

After moving to Australia in 2010, Dr Sri established himself in Canberra in 2014 and founded Dental Embassy — a practice built on the principle that good dental care should be accessible to everyone, including those who find dental visits genuinely difficult.

Recognising that many patients were avoiding necessary care due to anxiety, Dr Sri pursued further training at the University of Sydney, completing a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Conscious Sedation). This is one of Australia's most respected postgraduate qualifications in sedation, equipping him to safely administer IV sedation and nitrous oxide in the dental chair.

Today, sedation dentistry is a core part of what Dental Embassy offers — not as an afterthought, but as a genuine commitment to reaching patients who have been left behind by traditional dental practice.

Philosophy

Why sedation dentistry matters to Dr Sri

"I've seen too many patients suffer in silence — avoiding care for years because the thought of sitting in the dental chair was too overwhelming. Sedation dentistry changes that. It lets me treat people who would otherwise go untreated, and that is deeply rewarding."
