Ladd Dental Group

 There is something incredibly special about welcoming a new dentist into the LADD Dental Group family—and even more special when that dentist brings such a talented, positive, and compassionate team along with him. This month, we are thrilled to celebrate the one-month anniversary of Dr. Bala Sankuratri, DDS, MPH, BDS, and his remarkable dental team becoming part of LADD Dental Group! 🦷❤️ Dr. Bala has already made a tremendous impression on our organization, our patients, and the communities we are privileged to serve. He is currently caring for patients at our Kokomo and Peru locations , bringing an impressive combination of clinical knowledge, research experience, continuing education, and genuine compassion to every patient interaction. More Than a Dentist What has stood out most during this first month isn't simply Dr. Bala's impressive educational background—it's the way he approaches dentistry and the people around him. Dr. Bala earned his Doctor of Dental Surge...

 We couldn’t be more proud of our future doctor, Bala Sankuratri , on this incredible achievement! Bala recently graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry with Research Honors and was recognized with the Dean’s Award for Research Excellence —a testament to his dedication, curiosity, and commitment to advancing the field of dentistry . He credits much of this accomplishment to the mentorship and guidance of Drs. Aline Castilho and Grace Gomez , along with the support of his colleagues Dr. Sanjana Madarapu and Dr. Iqra Walayat throughout the journey. Bala is excited to carry this research-driven mindset and clinical excellence into private practice, and we’re confident that his patients—and our team—will benefit greatly from his passion for dentistry and patient care. Please join us in congratulating Bala on this outstanding milestone!
