Dr. Pratiek Gupta is a remarkable name who has followed his passions and reached a certain state that helps thousands of people to gain their lost smiles again and to have a better life filled with joy and happiness. He is an exceptional dentist who works in an unusual way and his first and foremost aim is to help people regain their beautiful smiling faces. He is an “aesthetic dentist” who with the touch of aestheticism, brings about a remarkable change in his patients’ life.
“We can actually show the patients their smile much before we touch their teeth and all this digitally on a computer screen and using the patient’s own photos and videos.”
There are thousands and lakhs of dentists out there but the common thing which goes missing is the personal touch that Dr. Gupta provides. He is an active practitioner at DentArtz – Laser Dental Clinic, Attapur, Hyderabad (www.dentartzhyd.com). He has been practicing dentistry in India for 8 consecutive years and the primary objective that led him to pursue this as his career is the beautification of people with a smile on their faces. He decided to become a “smile designer” who would not only help people with their dental problems but would help them have a better life as well in terms of their physical and psychological spheres.
The dental clinic works towards treating all kinds of dental problems including tooth pain, surgical extractions and “smile designing including braces all under one roof.”
“from childhood I was fascinated by people’s smiles and loved the fact that by the art of dentistry I could give people their deserved smiles back”
Since his early childhood days, he has had a keen fascination towards people’s smiles and how beautiful and happy they look when they smile. He realised this profession would not only give him a chance to full fill his goals but would also help him gather the respectable tag of being a doctor. He realised the gravity of the profession, which, unlike many other professions has the ability to save people from their pain and sufferings while also providing them with a beautiful opportunity to smile again. With all the growing digital advancements in the field of dentistry, dentists are now being able to digitally do most of their job.
“With Digital Smile Design (DSD) we can actually show the patients their smile much before we touch their teeth and all this digitally on a computer screen and using the patient’s own photos and videos” he said.
Dr. Gupta has been inspired by a few people in his life to move forward towards his passion. These people are Dr. Rajiv Verma who taught me the art of smile designing and was instrumental along with Dr. Christian Coachman to train me in the DSD principles. Apart from that Dr. David Clark has also inspired to a great extent.
He realised the backwardness of how dentistry was being practiced in India compared to the western countries and has been working since to make people understand how important it is to think beyond the conventional set of norms and regulations and that dentistry is beyond just “tooth removal” and “caps”.
He has a different approach to treating his patients and he understands perfectly the painful situations of his patients, which is one of the most remarkable aspects. This personal touch that he offers is what helps him stand out amidst the crowd.
