About Us

Why Ivorycrest?


“Ivory” signifies the elephant tooth, which is of a very high ornamental value, and “Crest” signifies the peak.

The triangle in our logo symbolizes the triad – the patient, the carer and us, working jointly to achieve optimum results.

To us, every individual is unique and important, and the approach towards providing orthodontic treatment and care is of the highest order.

We are committed to maintain superlative standards of excellence and professionalism in all aspects of our patient centric practice.

We are not only committed to offer finest orthodontic treatment, but also to make it hassle free and fun.

    Wanting to put a confident smile on every face that I meet is what drives me to do the best. I love to see that at the end of the treatment, my patient’s smile radiate through their eyes. I am passionate about my craft and the impact it has on the lives of people.

    I pursued my BDS from VYWS Dental College and Hospital, Amravati, Maharashtra and then later moved to Mangalore to pursue my MDS in Orthodontics from AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, Karnataka.

    I have been a faculty with the Department of Orthodontics in various dental colleges, and also mentored Post graduate students to become successful Orthodontists. I also have contributed to scientific forums in conventions and also authored various articles in journals of national and international repute.

    I love running, listening to music, photography, reading fiction, travelling with family and friends, catching up on latest movies. When not in office, I spend time with my kids Udayan and Saipreet.

    I believe that an amazing smile can help you feel physically and mentally upbeat. Helping kids and adults achieve that winning smile, and seeing them transform into more confident people, gives a lot of satisfaction.

    Having completed my Bachelors degree in Commerce from Mumbai university, Inter CA, and having a couple of years of experience of working in MNC’s in Mumbai, helps me play the role of the office manager, assisting my bestie, by scheduling appointments, patient co-ordination, controlling finances, imparting information to patients on oral hygiene and other aspects, to be maintained during the treatment.

    When not at work, I love reading, painting, playing songs on my Guitar and Ukulele and spending time with my mother in law and kids.
