Logeeshan Uthayakumar has bagged Asia's Best Young Entrepreneur Award

Hello, I’m Logeeshan Uthayakumar, a 19-year-old navigating my path in life.

I am deeply honored to receive the award for Asia's Youngest Entrepreneur. This recognition is a reflection of the dedication, innovation, and care that I strive to bring to my passion every day.

Born on October 19, 2005, in Sri Lanka, I've always been on a quest to discover my true self. Growing up with a father who is a dentist, I often felt the pressure to follow in his footsteps. Although I have a passion for business, I also developed an interest in dentistry. Before pursuing my dental degree, I aspired to start a business that could address gaps in the industry.

One key concern I had was the challenges faced by those without teeth, particularly when it came to enjoying meals. This prompted me to investigate the process of creating dental crowns. I learned that the nearest lab to fabricate these crowns is approximately 250 kilometers away, requiring around six hours of travel. On top of that, the entire process, including crafting the crowns, often takes over a week.

Recently, my father acquired a milling machine that allows us to produce crowns in-house, significantly reducing the turnaround time to under 24 hours. This innovation sparked an idea: why not offer patients the ability to restore their smiles within a single day?

With this vision, I founded Sun Dental, where I serve as the Managing Director. We specialize in crafting permanent teeth solutions through crowns and bridges. These are advanced dental restorations designed to replace damaged or missing teeth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. Crowns are used to cover and protect a weakened tooth or to restore its shape and size, while bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants.

The material I use for these restorations is zirconia, an extraordinary material that is 10 times stronger than natural teeth. Zirconia combines unmatched durability with a natural, lifelike appearance, ensuring that patients can chew, speak, and smile confidently for years to come. Its strength ensures longevity, while its biocompatibility makes it safe and gentle for patients.

We provide our service not only to our patients but also to other dentists across Sri Lanka.

My goal is clear: to provide permanent tooth replacements within 24 hours to patients across the island, enhancing their quality of life and restoring their confidence.

Receiving this award inspires me to continue refining my skills and pushing boundaries in dental innovation. My mission is to transform lives, one smile at a time, by delivering high-quality, lasting dental solutions. Thank you Asia's Awards for acknowledging this journey and the impact it has on my patients. Together, let’s keep building a future of healthier, brighter smiles.
