Dr. Rohit Kumar Chikoti
Experience: | 9 years |
Education: | Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | DDS/DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery / Doctor of Dental Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, which means I work on teeth that just won’t sit right—crooked, crowded, twisted, or even jaws that don’t line up properly. Whether it’s an overbite, crossbite, or someone whose smile just never felt quite balanced, that’s where I step in. I use braces, clear aligners (yeah, the invisible kind), and sometimes jaw correction techniques to set things back on track. It’s not just about looking good honestly, a right bite means less strain, fewer dental probs later and better overall health.
I see both kids and adults—early checks are ideal sure, but it’s never too late to fix things that bug you everyday in the mirror. I’m big on Smile Designing too...like reshaping teeth, adjusting gums, even whitening when needed. But the idea isn’t to just ‘perfect’ a smile, I try to make sure it fits the person’s face, vibe, personality.
My general dentistry background—like root canals, cleaning, basic fixes—makes the whole process smoother since I can take care of multiple needs together without referring patients around all the time. That helps a lot, esp for ppl who want full mouth work done or just don’t wanna bounce between clinics. I like planning stuff clear, no-rush and based on what patients are comfy with. |
Achievements: | I am super detail-focused when it comes to treatment planning in ortho, and somewhere that kinda paid off! At ROAR 2022—this big national-level orthodontic planning comp under the Indian Orthodontic Society—I actually got 1st prize which still feels kinda unreal tbh. It was intense, but getting that recognition made me believe more in how much planning really matters in giving patients good long-term results. Makes all the late nights worth it really. |
I am someone who's been into dentistry for over 13 years now, and honestly it still surprises me how much there's to learn with every smile I see. My core area is Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics—really got drawn to how aligning teeth could change someone’s confidence, sometimes their whole vibe. For the past 5 years, I’ve dived deep into ortho work—braces, clear aligners, even tricky jaw cases that need extra planning. It's like solving puzzles but on real ppl, which makes it kinda thrilling but also heavy 'cause you wanna get it just right. Before that, for about 8 yrs, I was practicing general dentistry full-time—cleanings, fillings, RCTs, smile makeovers, that sorta thing. I still enjoy those, esp when patients come back feeling less scared of the chair or dental stuff in general. I try to keep things chill, talk through options, explain why something matters (like yeah that gum issue might look small but it won’t stay small if ignored??), and make sure everyone feels seen. Most patients just want to feel okay when they smile or eat or talk. My job’s to get them there, whether it means aligning a crooked bite, doing preventive care, or walking someone through their 1st root canal without them panicking (which, yeah, happens a lot). I do a lot of smile designing too—adjusting shape, proportion, color, but also making sure it fits the face and doesn’t just look “done”. And I’m super careful with hygiene stuff—no point fixing teeth if we don’t protect them after. Anyway, I believe every smile tells a story and sometimes ppl just need a little nudge or help to tell it better. I’m here for that, really. Whether it's a kid with crowding, a teen starting aligners, or an adult who's finally ready to fix what’s been bugging them for yrs... I want them to walk out feelin' more themselves.
