About

I think the greatest way to deal with life's challenges is head-on; with the right amount of comprehension, a dash of crazy, and a good portion of your heart. While skill may be acquired, empathy and intuition are innate qualities. In my specialty, there are probably many talented surgeons in the world, but human understanding is lacking. My main desire is to bring my talent to the operating table, augmented with scientific knowledge and human understanding. In my opinion, the secret to a successful surgical endeavour resides not only in the actual operation or the training received, but also in the patient's drive and motivation. I'm a driven, inquisitive, and compassionate oral and maxillofacial surgeon with expertise in the diagnosis, surgical, and non-surgical treatment of conditions affecting the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, jaws, face, and neck; consulting with patients regarding both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the head and neck region. Sincerity combined with empathy is a lethal combination, and I want to incorporate it into my work. I have aided and carried out numerous minor and major surgical procedures during my training period. Skills: - Advanced surgical skills in oral and maxillofacial procedures - Gained hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating various dental and facial conditions. - Proficient in performing minor oral surgical procedures independently, such as - surgical extractions, biopsies, cyst enucleation, dental implants etc - Proficient in performing major oral surgical procedures independently, such as - facial trauma, maxillofacial infection, oral pathology etc - Assisted in a wide range of surgeries, including facial trauma, orthognathic surgeries, oral pathology, maxillofacial infection, cleft lip and palate, oral cancer, reconstructive surgeries and TMJ surgeries - Knowledgeable in the use of advanced imaging technologies for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning - Excellent communication and patient interaction skills - Strong attention to detail and meticulous surgical technique - Ability to collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary healthcare teams - Commitment to staying updated with the latest advancements and techniques in the field - Emphasis on patient safety & ethics - Experienced in working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as those who suffer from dental anxiety or are medically compromised With each new day, I'm working to improve my productivity and learning curve. A keen explorer of science and nature; also an epicure at heart and a wine enthusiast.

    Today, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Dentistry are filled with misleading marketing and misinformation, making it difficult for patients to find genuine, high-quality care. Many unknowingly receive subpar treatments, leading to chronic pain, irreversible damage, and even systemic health issues. At CURAVI – Dental & Maxillofacial Centre, I am committed to changing that. As an MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon with over eight years of experience, I prioritize transparency, affordability, and patient-centered care. Too often, people avoid dental treatment due to fear of high costs, unnecessary procedures, or painful experiences. My mission is to restore trust in dentistry through ethical practice, advanced techniques, and compassionate care. At CURAVI, we provide a full spectrum of dental and maxillofacial services, from routine check-ups and implants to complex facial surgeries. Every treatment plan is tailored to ensure the best outcomes for both health and confidence. Let’s redefine what OMFS & dentistry should be. Ethical, patient-focused, and driven by excellence.
