About Anala Panchumarti, DMD
Dr. Anala Panchumarti was raised around medicine. Her father was a physician, so she grew up witnessing the joy and comfort he brought to his patients. From a young age, she felt a call to the medical field. Dentistry combines her interests in science and medicine with her desire to help people feel comfortable and healthy, and her strong aesthetic sense. As a dentist, she brings a uniquely calming demeanor to her work—something her patients have noticed over the years, and a major part of the reason they keep coming back for more care. She's originally from India, but studied dentistry at the renowned Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating, she moved to Texas to provide care for medically underserved communities at a community health center. A few years later, she moved to Tampa to begin practicing as a general and cosmetic dentist, where she still maintains volunteer work whenever she has time. In 2012, after several years working as an associate with a fellow dentist, she was thrilled to open Sunshine Creative Smiles. Dr. Panchumarti is committed to comprehensive care for every patient and specializes in preventative care, education for at-home maintenance, restorative treatments, and cosmetic dentistry for patients in pursuit of that perfect smile. She’s attentive to detail, as well as the needs and concerns of every patient. She enjoys putting nervous patients at ease by offering nitrous oxide and other anti-anxiety medications in extreme cases. When it comes time for treatment, she employs a “Show and Tell” method, presenting patients with x-rays, models, charts, discussion, and anything else they might need to understand their condition and the available treatments. Her goal is to make sure each is comfortable, fully informed, and happy with her care.
