Academic degree: | DDS/DMD (Doctor of Dental Surgery / Doctor of Dental Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am really into single-sitting root canal treatments—like honestly, I kinda love the whole idea of fixing something major in one go without dragging it across multiple visits (who even has time for 3–4 sittings anymore?). If the case allows, and it’s clinically safe to do it in one session, I prefer that route every time. You come in with pain, we clean out the infection, seal the canal, and boom you're out same day, tooth saved!!
I’ve done this procedure for lots of different age groups and tooth types—molars, premolars, even the occasional tricky curved canal ones. It’s not just about speed, though, I mean you still gotta get the cleaning and sealing exactly right or the infection comes back, worse. That's why I take the extra few minutes to get the measurements right, keep checking things with apex locators and irrigating thoroughly. It’s fast, but not rushed, if that makes sense...
Most people come in panicked, expecting pain or blood (lol thanks to all those scary dentist memes). But the moment I explain we can do this in one visit, and it won’t hurt coz we use proper anesthetics, you literally see the relief on their face. That part makes me feel like—ok this is worth it.
Now it’s not like every single case can be done this way, I mean if there's swelling or pus or complicated roots we have to wait or split it up. But where I can, I try to make treatment efficient and predictable. Dental anxiety is real and I feel like one-sitting RCTs actually help build trust coz people don’t feel like they’re stuck in a long painful cycle. |
Achievements: | I am working in general & cosmetic dentistry for a little over 7 yrs now, not counting my internship days of course lol. Done more than 1000+ root canals—most single sitting—without major complaints or post-op pain. I guess ppl mostly come back coz they feel it’s “not scary” with me. Treated all kinds—tiny kids to elderly folks, even ones with health issues like diabetes or bp... I try to keep it simple, gentle, and clear.
I also attend dental workshops/conferences whenever I can. Keeps me updated!! |
I am a dental surgeon who’s kinda grown into this space over the past 7+ years—not just by doing procedures but by listening more, feeling what ppl actually fear when they walk into a dental chair. I do a lot of general dentistry, yeah, but what really keeps me going is cosmetic work and root canals that change how someone feels about their own smile. I’m mostly into single-sitting RCTs (those are tricky but kinda satisfying when they go right), smile designing, crowns & bridges, extractions when needed (not my fav but sometimes necessary), and pediatric dental care—that last one takes a diff kinda patience. My style of treatment is not just about fixing the problem, like not just drill-fill-go. I try to make sure ppl leave feeling safe and heard. I always say a dental visit shouldn’t be something you dread right? I keep the vibe clean, calm and yeah—painless as far as possible. Modern techniques, strict hygiene and solid communication matter a lot to me. I've treated all kinds of patients—kids, older ppl, nervous teenagers—each one’s taught me something different, tbh. Sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan. You think a case will be simple but it throws a curveball halfway. That’s where experience helps... you don’t panic, you adapt. I guess that’s what clinical maturity looks like? Anyway, dentistry’s still evolving and I try not to get too stuck in “my way”—I read, attend workshops when I can, try new tools and methods when they’re proven to work. More than anything I just want people to know they’re in safe hands—not perfect ones, but careful, thoughtful ones.
