Dr. Riddhi Chakraborty
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | West Bengal University of Health and Sciences |
Academic degree: | DDS/DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery / Doctor of Dental Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I focus primarily on Orthodontics, Oral Medicine & Radiology, and Sports Dentistry, but my base in general dental procedures is something I really rely on daily. My work spans across tooth extractions, root canal therapy (RCT), restorations, and prosthetic solutions like crowns, bridges, and full or partial dentures.I’ve always felt that conversations with patients should be straightforward—no heavy medical words, just honest, down-to-earth talk that makes sense. I’d rather explain a procedure in plain language than leave someone confused. Whether I’m dealing with something tricky like an oral lesion or just helping someone feel good about their smile again, I give each case the same focus. I care deeply about prevention too; it’s not just about fixing what’s wrong, but helping people understand how to stay healthy for the long run. |
Achievements: | For over four years now, I’ve been running my own little dental setup—handling all sorts of cases, from basic fillings to the tougher stuff that takes time and patience. Honestly, it’s not about collecting degrees or certificates for me. What really means something is when a patient comes back... or sends a friend. That quiet trust? That’s what makes this all feel worth it, every single day. |
I’m a practicing dental surgeon with several years of grounded, hands-on experience across some of Kolkata’s top-tier institutions. My clinical roots were planted at IPGMER–SSKM Hospital, where I started out in the Department of Dentistry. Those early days gave me a strong hold on general procedures and patient handling—lessons I still carry forward every single day. Later on, I spent a full year at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College & Hospital, rotating through Orthodontia and Oral Medicine & Radiology. That time really deepened my understanding of dental structure and oral diagnostics, especially in complex cases. I learned not just how to treat, but how to see a patient’s concern in full context, which I think is key to quality dental care. Since 2022, I’ve been working as a visiting general dental surgeon with the Indian Red Cross Society. That role really opened my eyes to the bigger picture—public health, access, and the gaps many people face in basic care. On the other side of things, I’ve been running my own private dental setup in Baranagar for over four years now. It’s been a slow, steady journey built on trust, real conversations, and just being present enough to actually listen to what folks need. I hold a Diploma in Sports Dentistry from ISST, Pune—which opened up a whole new side of the profession for me. Athletes deal with unique challenges like orofacial trauma and performance-related stress injuries. Whether it’s designing a mouthguard or preventing chronic wear from high-impact sports, I enjoy being part of their support system. It’s like being in a pit crew—you make sure they’re protected and at their best. I believe in care that’s clear, compassionate, and built around the patient’s reality—not just textbooks. Every case is personal, and every smile matters. That’s pretty much the heart of how I work.
