Dr. Karunesh Chakote
Dr. Chakote was born and raised in Long Island, New York. He started his professional journey into dentistry after personally experiencing its impact through corrective jaw surgery and orthodontics that bettered his smile and confidence. He attended University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, where he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. He then pursued a one-year surgical internship at The Ohio State University, where he trained in numerous intraoral surgical procedures. He concluded his residency training at Georgia School of Orthodontics, where he had broad exposure to all aspects of orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Chakote is board-certified and a diplomate of the America Board of Orthodontics (ABO). He is an active member of numerous dental and orthodontic organizations, including: American Dental Association (ADA), Georgia Dental Association (GDA), American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), and American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
Dr. Chakote resides in Atlanta with his wife, Sruthi, and two children. Outside of Orthodontics, his interests are reading and enjoying all things related to his kids, including exploring parks and playgrounds, eating all over Atlanta, and traveling.
Compassion, communication, and integrity are tenets of his philosophy to patient care. He is excited to treat with these values - deserved by all patients – at Smile Ortho and to serve the patients of Atlanta.

Supporting Education & Inclusivity
At Smile Ortho, we believe in creating captivating smiles and building a stronger, more inclusive community. That’s why we’re proud to provide proceeds from auctioned-off orthodontic care and directly donate to Paideia, a local K-12 school dedicated to fostering connection, accessibility, and belonging for every student. These contribute to Paideia’s financial aid program, helping families access the school’s inclusive, values-driven education.
Paideia’s mission—celebrating diversity, nurturing empathy, and empowering young minds—aligns perfectly with our own values of compassionate, patient-centered care. We are so happy to have contributed to a cause that helps children thrive in an environment rooted in kindness, curiosity, and community.
