Dr. Shivani Saxena
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences |
Academic degree: | Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) |
Area of specialization: | I am Dr Shivani Saxena and my specialization is in periodontics with a strong focus on Laser and Implant Dentistry. Over the years I worked on wide range of dental problems — healing of bleeding gums, swollen gums that don’t settle with basic care, and gum recession that need regeneration. I also take up aesthetic dental work like whitening and smile designing, cause sometimes a small change in teeth appearance brings a big shift in patient’s confidence.
Hard and soft tissue procedures are another important part of my practice. That means working not just with gums but also with bone, doing grafting or regeneration where required to support teeth or prepare for implants. Laser dentistry is something I find especially rewarding, as it makes many treatments less invasive, quicker and with smoother recovery. Implant dentistry too allow patients to regain proper function after tooth loss, and watching them eat and smile freely again always feel like best reward.
My approach is simple – understand patient needs, explain them treatment choices, and use techniques that balance science with comfort. |
Achievements: | I am honored to recieve multiple academic awards through my dental training, including a merit certificate and gold medal for securing highest marks in Ramaiah University-FDS in 2019, presented by UGC Vice Chairman Dr Bhushan Patwardhan. Earlier in 2015 I was awarded a certificate by the President of Dental Council of India for 1st rank in BDS IV year. I also recieved gold medals for overall performance in BDS II, III, IV and subject toppers in Periodontics, Pedodontics, Preventive & Community Dentistry. |
I am Dr Shivani Saxena, a periodontist and laser specialist with more than 6 yrs of clinical work behind me, and I often describe myself simply as a gum specialist cause that’s where most of my interest and practice lies. My dental journey started with BDS from People’s College of Dental Sciences & RC, Bhopal, followed by MDS in Periodontology from Ramaiah Dental College, Bengaluru, which gave me a strong base to handle both routine and complex gum problems. In my daily practice I manage wide range of cases – bleeding gums, swollen gums, receding gum lines, aesthetic issues like tooth whitening, smile designing, and also procedures that involve hard and soft tissue regeneration, whether it is bone grafting or gum repair. I have developed particular focus in Laser Dentistry, cause it allows precision with less discomfort and faster healing. Alongside that I also perform Implant Dentistry, offering patients reliable long-term solutions for missing teeth. I try to keep my approach very patient-centered. Some people walk in scared, already carrying bad past experiences with dental chairs, and I know a calm explanation works better than rushing with instruments. Whether I am doing a laser procedure or a cosmetic smile correction, I make sure the patient understand the process step by step. Academically, I keep myself active by attending various state and national conferences, and my work has been published in reputed Periodontal Journals. Research for me is not about adding lines to a CV, but about sharing clinical insights that can actually improve treatment outcomes for others in the field. Dentistry for me is about balance — precision, science, compassion. Every day I work towards providing comprehensive care with dedication and honesty, and I continue to push myself to stay updated with new techniques. That mix of curiosity and responsibility is what keep me going.
