In her words
“Your smile is my passion.”
I qualified in 2009 and spent my first years working in busy clinics across Mumbai. What stayed with me from that time was how often patients arrived frightened, because nobody had explained what was going to happen, and how differently a visit went when someone took five minutes to do exactly that.
I opened i-Smile in 2012 to practise the way I would want my own family treated: examine properly, show the patient what I see, offer the options honestly, including the option of doing nothing yet, and then do the work carefully and without hurry.
Implants and aligners are the areas I have invested most in, because they change lives in ways a filling does not, and because they reward careful planning. But most of my day is still check-ups, cleanings, fillings and root canals for the same families, year after year, and I would not have it any other way.
Areas of focus
- Dental implants: Single teeth to full-arch cases, planned on digital X-rays.
- Clear aligners: Invisalign and Indian aligner systems, with honest case selection.
- Cosmetic dentistry: Veneers, whitening and smile makeovers designed with a trial smile first.
- Children's dentistry: Calm first visits and prevention-first care.
