Dr. Shraddha Bahirwani

Our 8-year-old autistic son needed extensive dental work but couldn't tolerate conventional treatment. Dr. Bahirwani created a sensory-friendly environment and used tell-show-do techniques adapted to his needs. She completed eight fillings over three gradual sessions without sedation - something we were told was impossible.

After a bicycle accident left me with four avulsed front teeth, I arrived at Manipal Hospital in panic. Dr. Bahirwani immediately performed replantation and splinting, then guided me through a year-long journey of root canals, implants, and finally beautiful crowns. The result is indistinguishable from natural teeth.

My 92-year-old mother with dementia developed a complex dental abscess that multiple dentists refused to treat. Dr. Bahirwani coordinated with her geriatrician, used conscious sedation, and performed the extraction in-hospital. Her compassionate approach with confused elderly patients is remarkable.

As a competitive powerlifter, my gum recession was worsening from clenching under heavy loads. Dr. Bahirwani didn't just perform connective tissue grafts; she analyzed my bite force patterns and created a protective night guard that actually improves my lifting performance while protecting my dental work.

As a professional flautist, I feared my career was over when I developed severe TMJ disorder that prevented me from performing. Dr. Bahirwani's innovative approach combining arthrocentesis with custom occlusal splint therapy not only resolved my pain but restored my ability to play. Her understanding of the precise muscular control needed for wind instruments was extraordinary.
