Experience: | 9 years |
Education: | Mamata Dental College |
Academic degree: | Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly into LASER gum surgeries n dental implants—like that’s really where most of my focus goes, though I do handle all other dental procedures too, kinda depends on the day really. I got really interested in LASER treatments coz they’re way less invasive, patients don’t freak out as much, n healing’s smoother most of the time. Whether it's flap surgery, depigmentation or treating gum pockets, lasers kinda changed how I approach perio stuff overall.
Implants are another big part of what I do. From single missing teeth to full arch rehab—each case throws its own mix of challenges. Bone density, sinus lifts, angulation—nothing’s ever exactly routine. I like planning those steps carefully, but you also learn to adjust when things don’t go textbook, right? Some patients just want quick fixes, but I try to keep it real... explain what'll actually last. Oh, and yeah—I do the basics too. Root canals, fillings, crowns, smile design... not every case is complex but every smile matters. |
Achievements: | I am currently working as a professor with around 9 years of teaching n clinical experience, mostly in periodontics. I’ve guided both BDS & MDS students through all the highs n lows of theory, preclinicals, case work, thesis drama—basically the whole deal!! Some days I’m deep into lectures, other times stuck reviewing presentations or sorting out doubts that even make *me* think twice lol. Watching them grow into confident clinicians kinda makes the chaos worth it tbh. |
I am working right now as a professor in the department of periodontics and implantology, which honestly keeps me on my toes most days. Teaching's great—ya get to see students grow and sometimes challenge what you think you already knew. I mean, it’s not just theory or techniques, it’s real-time learning coz every batch brings diff kinda energy, questions, even doubts I hadn’t thought of in years. Keeps things fresh, even if a bit hectic at times. At the same time, I run my own clinical practice which I’ve been doing for the past 9 years now. That’s the other side of my day—hands-on work, real patients, no shortcuts. From basic gum treatments to complex implant cases, I’ve kinda grown into this rhythm where academics and clinical practice balance each other out. Like, some days are smoother than others, yeah, but overall it's satisfying to help ppl regain not just their teeth but also confidence in their smile. You know? I’ve seen all kinds of cases walk in, from early-stage gingivitis to full-blown periodontitis where we really had to think hard about how much could be saved vs replaced. And with implants—there’s no “one size fits all” kinda solution. Bone quality, patient habits, systemic issues... a lot goes into getting long-term success. Not to mention convincing anxious patients that needles aren’t the end of the world 😅 Not every case turns out perfect, and sometimes you learn more from the complications than from the straightforward ones. I do try to stay updated too—whether through small workshops, journal articles, or even just peer chats. But honestly, after 9 years of practice, I still feel like there’s always more to refine, more to improve. Dentistry’s like that—very precise but always evolving. And I guess that’s why I still look forward to both my classes *and* my clinic hours.
