STHIRA is led by a specialist surgeon rather than by a rota. For
treatment that sits outside his own field, a consultant in that speciality attends the
clinic and treats you here, instead of you being sent somewhere else and starting again
with a stranger.

Consultants who attend the clinic
Six consultants see patients at
STHIRA in their own speciality: paediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, endodontics,
orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology, and oral medicine and radiology.
They are not resident staff, and we say so plainly. They attend, on the days your
treatment needs them.
Dr. Manish Khazane
MDS, MFD RCS (Edinburgh, UK) · Endodontist
Microscope-assisted root canal treatment, with a particular interest in keeping teeth with a poor outlook wherever possible.
Ulcers, white or red patches, swellings and mucosal changes

How it works in practice
One clinic, the right specialist
Routine check-ups, cleaning and fillings are done by Dr. Manasa Bandi. If
your treatment needs another speciality, Dr Kuchu arranges for that consultant to see you
here, and he stays responsible for the plan as a whole.
It means you are not handed a referral slip and left to organise the
rest yourself, and it means nobody is doing work outside what they trained for.
