Dr Shivananda is a very frank and approachable dentist. He explains the treatment in a simple way for any layman to understand. I chose him because he showed documented proof of the similar cases like mine he had worked upon which made me get convinced that he’s the one who’s gonna rectify my smile.

I must thank, Mr. Shivanand for making my life better. I had a very bad teeth structure and had lost hopes on getting it fixed. The outcome of the treatment was so satisfactory and it's unbelievable. Dr. Shivanand is a Pro with regards to the treatment and elegant in personality.Cheers..
Had my wisdom tooth removed, Cleaned my tooth, Filled cavities. Dr Shivanand was so friendly and advised good tips. His team is also very friendly and highly appreciate their dedication to give good treatment
Dr Shivanand is the most professional dentist I've come across. This is the third time I'm going through orthodontist treatment (previous treatments didn't give lasting results), and because he's taking care of my case now, I know this will be the last time I'll have to go through this.
Make your dream smile a reality!
