Fixing Smiles, one tooth at a time!

With a deep commitment to improving oral health, my journey began in India, where I earned my dental degree and practiced for five years. After moving to the USA, I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and began working as a dentist, further advancing my expertise. My focus is on promoting oral health, employing patient-centered care, innovative techniques, and collaborative treatment planning. By educating my patients and embracing comprehensive care, I aim to ensure their long-term wellness and well-being, fostering brighter smiles along the way.
