I am a Prosthodontist, Implantologist, and Senior Lecturer with over four years of experience in clinical dentistry, digital dentistry, and dental education. I currently work at Yenepoya Dental College, Mangalore, where I provide comprehensive prosthodontic and implant rehabilitation while mentoring undergraduate and fellowship students.
My passion lies in combining clinical excellence with technology. I routinely work with intraoral scanners, Exocad, 3Shape Dental & Implant Studio, CAD/CAM technologies, and digital workflows to deliver precise, patient-centered care. I also enjoy teaching digital dentistry and helping future dental professionals embrace modern technologies.
Beyond treating patients, I strongly believe that patient education is the foundation of quality healthcare. One of my personal missions is to remove the fear associated with dentistry and help people understand that dentistry itself is not expensive-delaying treatment is. When patients understand the value of preventive care and the rationale behind a treatment plan, they are empowered to make informed decisions and develop lasting trust in their dentist.
Building meaningful relationships with my patients has always been at the heart of my practice. I don't believe in selling treatments; I believe in communicating their value. My goal is to ensure that every patient feels heard, respected, and confident in the care they receive.
Alongside clinical practice, I have a keen interest in healthcare innovation, digital transformation, artificial intelligence in dentistry, and research. I enjoy exploring how technology can improve patient outcomes, streamline workflows, and make quality oral healthcare more accessible.
I believe the future of dentistry lies at the intersection of clinical expertise, digital innovation, and compassionate patient care, and I am committed to contributing to that future every day.
