Dr Rashika Vijan

<p>Dr. Rashika Vijan completed her Bachelors in Dental Surgery (BDS) in 2003 from the Dr. DY Patil Dental College and Hospital in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, topping in orthodontics in the final year. She went on to finish the Post Graduate Program in Esthetic Dentistry from the State University of New York in 2005.</p>
<p>Over the last decade, she has become a dentist of repute in Mumbai, treating patients from prominent business families, Bollywood stars, and movie artists and directors. Her 1,000 sq. ft. clinic in Bandra is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and tools operated by a team of experienced doctors who are experts in specific branches of dentistry.</p>
<p>Dr. Vijan is passionate about cosmetic dentistry because she believes it can change the entire personality of a person. 'A great smile gives you immense amount of confidence. I have seen the personality of people change overnight, from being extremely introvert to laughing and cheerful,' she says. 'While ‘designing’ a smile, it is not only the teeth that are taken into account – the whole face and personality is taken into consideration, including facial symmetry, nose, and the colour of eyes and skin. It is amazing to see the transformation of one’s face after cosmetic dentistry. Most patients can’t stop smiling. It’s well worth the hard work and time that goes into crafting a perfect smile.'</p>
<p>Being counted among Mumbai’s top cosmetic dentists in just ten years is no small feat for someone who hails from a business family with no history of dentistry, and who as a child, wanted to become an architect. 'I feel very happy and proud at where I have reached in my journey as a dentist. I am my biggest critic and push myself to do better each day. Any field of knowledge needs to be constantly upgraded and dentistry is no different. The material and techniques we use need to be revised with the latest advancements. It is a very challenging but extremely interesting and fulfilling field.'</p>
