Dr. Harpreet Singh Manaktala stood in his clinic, 32 Shades Dental Studio, gazing at the rows of dental tools neatly arranged. But it wasn’t just the precision of these instruments that set his practice apart. It was the mission driving him, one that went beyond fixing teeth and delved into the deeper connection between oral health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
As a Prosthodontist and Implantologist with over eight years of experience, Dr. Manaktala saw the widespread confusion in the dental care industry. There were countless products on the shelves, some labeled "natural," others boasting "chemical-free" claims, but what did these terms really mean? More importantly, did they help or harm? His journey to becoming a trusted voice of reason began with a realization that many patients didn’t know what they were putting into their mouths every day.
"I didn’t write Brush With Caution to sell fear. I wrote it to sell clarity,” says Dr. Manaktala. "You shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to choose a safe toothpaste, but unfortunately, that’s what it feels like today. My job is to decode the label for you."
The heart of his mission is simple: To educate, empower, and equip patients with the knowledge to make informed choices about their oral and overall health. 32 Shades Dental Studio is not your typical dental practice. It’s a space where science meets holistic care, and patient awareness is just as vital as treatment outcomes. This is where the journey to better dental health begins, not just through the right treatment but through understanding how lifestyle, diet, and daily habits shape your smile.
The Origins of 32 Shades Dental Studio
The story behind 32 Shades Dental Studio is one of vision and a commitment to providing more than just cosmetic solutions. Dr. Manaktala, a renowned MDS Prosthodontist, founded the clinic in Mulund West, Mumbai, to fill the gap he identified in the dental industry, a gap that overlooked the interconnectedness of oral health and overall wellness.
While many dental clinics focus on short-term fixes and superficial care, Dr. Manaktala's practice looks at the whole person, not just their teeth. His approach integrates lifestyle changes, nutrition guidance, and awareness about the hidden dangers in everyday oral products. This holistic approach is one that stands apart in an industry too often focused on the quick fix.
It was this dedication to holistic care that led him to write his book Brush With Caution, a guide to understanding what’s really inside the toothpaste tubes many people use daily. The book, which has been embraced by wellness advocates and readers alike, highlights some of the ingredients found in commonly used oral care products, ingredients that have been the subject of various debates in health and wellness circles.
“I wrote Brush With Caution because there is so much confusion in the market,” Dr. Manaktala explains. “Fluoride or no fluoride isn’t the only question, patients need to ask: What else is in there? Because the truth is, many ‘natural’ toothpastes don’t always live up to their claims."
What Makes 32 Shades Dental Studio Different?
Dr. Manaktala’s philosophy is one that integrates advanced dental technology with a human-centric approach to care. While many clinics might simply treat the teeth, Dr. Manaktala treats the entire person. The result? Personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that go beyond just fixing cavities.
