Academic degree: | Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) |
Area of specialization: | I am an implantologist, most of my work revolve around restoring missing teeth with dental implants and giving back proper function n smile to patients who lost them. Implantology is not just about placing a screw in bone, it’s about careful planning—studying bone density, angulation, prosthetic outcome—all before even touching the patient. Some cases are straight forward single tooth replacement, others are full mouth rehab where precision and patience both get tested.
I focus on making the treatment comfortable and predictable. From surgical placement of implants to final prosthetic loading, every step matter. Patients often walk in scared, worried about pain or failure, but when they see the final result, it’s usually worth the wait. I also pay close attention to maintenance, coz long-term success of implant depends as much on aftercare as on the surgery itself.
What keeps me drawn to this field is how implants change daily life—not just chewing but the confidence in social settings, the way a person smiles again without hiding. That human side of implantology is what keeps me committed. |
Achievements: | I am proud to share that I was awarded a gold medal during my postgraduation, which for me wasn’t just about the medal itself but the effort and long hours that went into it. The recognition came as a reminder that dedication to study, clinical work, and research do pay off in the end. It also pushed me to keep raising my own standards—whether in academic discussions, practical training or direct patient care. That achievement still keeps me motivated everyday!! |
I am a dental surgeon who graduated BDS in 2012 and later went on to complete my post-graduation in 2021. That kind of makes it 12 years of total experience in dentistry, spread across diff phases—early years where I was doing mostly general practice, learning through day to day patient care, and then later the more focused training during Post Grad which shaped my speciality work. Those years after BDS were important, coz you get to see almost everything in the clinic—simple fillings, extractions, root canals, prosthetic cases, pediatric patients who are scared to even open their mouth, and emergencies like dental trauma. Handling that range taught me patience and adaptability. By the time I went into Post Grad, I had already understood that dentistry isn’t just technical work—it’s also about understanding people’s fears and expectations. Completing Post Grad in 2021 was a turning point. Post-graduate training made me go deeper into advanced techniques, research, academic exposure, and refined clinical decision making. It’s not just about treating teeth but about restoring function, esthetics, and long-term oral health. Some days that means carefully planning a crown margin, other days it’s managing a complex rehabilitation case. The detail work can be tiring but honestly it’s what I enjoy most. Across these 12 years I’ve treated thousands of patients, from routine to highly challenging ones. What I try to carry into every consultation is clarity, precision, and compassion. Dentistry can look small from outside—“just teeth”—but it changes the way people eat, smile, even talk. That’s why I still double-check the smallest steps, even if it takes extra minutes. Looking back now, 2012 feels like a long time ago, but each year added something—clinical skills, academic knowledge, and more than that, a perspective that dentistry is about quality of life, not just dental procedures.
