Patient Experience
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.
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.
Our family of five all see Dr. Bahirwani - from our teenager's wisdom teeth extraction to my husband's full-mouth rehabilitation. She remembers each of our unique needs and fears, creating individualized treatment plans that respect our different pain thresholds and recovery patterns.
I traveled from Dubai specifically for Dr. Bahirwani's expertise in treating radiation-induced xerostomia and osteoradionecrosis. Her multidisciplinary approach involving hyperbaric oxygen therapy and specialized prosthetic solutions gave me back the ability to eat comfortably after oral cancer treatment.
When my daughter's shark tooth situation (adult teeth growing behind baby teeth) caused orthodontic concerns, Dr. Bahirwani used laser technology for precise extractions without damaging adjacent teeth. The procedure was so quick and painless my 7-year-old asked if she could come back tomorrow.
As a photographer with metal allergies, I needed all amalgam replacements and new crowns that wouldn't cause reactions. Dr. Bahirwani sourced specialized zirconia materials and developed an allergy-testing protocol to ensure compatibility. My before-and-after smile photos now feature in her practice.
After years of hiding my smile due to genetic enamel hypoplasia, Dr. Bahirwani performed a full-mouth rehabilitation using minimal-prep veneers. She preserved maximum tooth structure while completely transforming my appearance. The digital smile design process made me an active participant in the transformation.
My husband's snoring was actually due to sleep apnea caused by mandibular retrognathia. Dr. Bahirwani collaborated with sleep specialists to create a custom mandibular advancement device that eliminated his apnea without CPAP. Our marriage saved by better sleep!
As a professional wine taster, my dental erosion was affecting my career. Dr. Bahirwani developed a comprehensive prevention and restoration plan using materials resistant to acid erosion. She even consulted with sommeliers to understand the specific challenges of my profession.
When my identical twin daughters both needed orthognathic surgery for severe malocclusion, Dr. Bahirwani performed the procedures six months apart, refining her technique based on the first sister's recovery. Their results are perfectly matched yet individually optimized.
After a failed root canal from another dentist left me with chronic pain, Dr. Bahirwani performed apicoectomy using ultrasonic technology and 3D-guided navigation. Her meticulous approach finally ended three years of suffering that multiple dentists had dismissed as psychological.
