My name is Dr. Gagan Sandhu. I did my dentistry back in India in 2002. Then I migrated to the US; took my boards. I got trained at the University of Pacific, UCLA and Duggan Study Institute (Loma Linda). And after that, I took my state boards, and I got my DDS.

He completed certification in Dental Implants in 2002. Dr Sandhu immigrated to the USA in2003.

The most rewarding part of being a dentist is basically as I was saying, whoever has experienced dental pain, it is really a bad pain. And most of the time for some reason, we have seen patients who have pain to that degree that they arent able to sleep, they have had these problems for a while. And its like when the camels back has to break, and most of the times weve seen its in the night. So as the night approaches, the pain starts to shoot. I had a patient, if you ask me what was the most rewarding part of being a dentist this poor gentleman started having pain during the middle of the night, we do take emergency calls so I took his call, we got him in in the morning, he had a very bad, severe infection in one of his mandibular molars, which needed a root canal. So we had to put him on some strong antibiotics, give him some strong pain medicine, drain the tooth out and get the infection out, and he was feeling much better right on the chair itself. So, I would say that was when I felt really good about being a dentist, that the person who was in so much pain, I could get him out of the pain. He of course thanked me, and he came later on and we did his root canal and crown.
Dr. Madani received his DMD and post graduate degree in Periodontics from the University of Pennsylvania. He has training in dental implants, bone grafting, pocket reduction, gingival grafting, gum grafting, and crown lengthening. He enjoys nature, soccer, traveling with his family and giving his patients the best smile possible.
She obtained her DDS from the University of California at San Francisco. The reason I got into dentistry, when I was growing up in India, my grandmother had a pair of dentures made and they didnt fit her that well. So that got me thinking, I wish I could help her, and I thought if I were a dentist I would have probably done a better job, made her more comfortable. So thats when my interest peaked into dentistry.
The first thing that we do with patients when they come to us for new patient visits are, instead of just x-rays we do a complete mouth examination. And before we proceed with anything we first ask the patient what brings them here, and depending on what the chief complaint is, we give them a detailed synopsis of what we found, what we found in the mouth, how the teeth are doing, what they can do to make them better. And when the patient feels comfortable and decides what they want to do, thats how we procede with them. Thats how the treatment plan proceeds from there. Its what the patient wants and whats best for the patient.

Excellent service. My mom's implant denture had come off and although we had never been to the dental clinic before, Dr. Sandhu & team scheduled us right away to accommodate the emergency. Dr. Sandhu is very friendly and makes sure the patient is onboard with the procedure. Thanks for fixing the dentures!
