Built by dentists, for dentists

Chairsyde was built to change the way that we, as dentists, communicate with our patients. To go beyond paternalistic care, unlocking trust through shared decision making and better communication. Discover our story.

Our mission

The beginning
Teaching a nation’s war-orphaned children about the basics of oral health is no easy task.

But that’s the job best friends Loven Ganeswaren and Kiri Sivanandan faced when visiting their homeland, Sri Lanka, in 2011, just as the country was just beginning to recover from decades of civil war.

But it wasn’t just about brushing and flossing. It was about helping them understand why it mattered.

In the end, it wasn’t hours in the classroom or complex demonstrations that resonated with the youngsters, but a simple nursery rhyme written on the fly in a few minutes.
Beginning of Chairsyde
The breakthrough
When Loven and Kiri returned to Sri Lanka years later, they were greeted with smiles, hugs, and everywhere singing the song they wrote all those years ago.

It had taken on a life of its own… 

But this wasn’t just a heart warmer, it was also a lightbulb moment that highlighted the importance and potential of simple messaging.

That moment changed everything.
Breakthrough of Chairsyde
The vision
Inspired by this, Loven and Kiri started thinking...
1
How can dentists better engage the 65% of patients who are visual learners?
2
What if everyone could easily grasp treatments without needing a degree?
3
And how can we make dentistry less confusing and more compelling for patients?
Vision of Chairsyde
The future
It turns out, simple, clear communication isn’t just better for patients. It’s better for your practice too.

Patients rarely say no to treatment because they don't care. They say no because they don't understand. That’s the communication gap Chairsyde was built to solve.

By combining on-screen animations, personalised follow-ups, and easy-to-grasp explanations, Chairsyde helps patients truly see their options,  not just hear about them.

The result? Patients feel informed, empowered, and confident to say "yes."

Today, Chairsyde isn’t just improving patient satisfaction, it’s helping practices unlock real, measurable growth, by turning every consultation into a two-way conversation.
