Overview
Dr Abhishek Shetty is a Consultant Endodontist and Restorative Dentist in Whitefield, Bengaluru, with over 18 years of clinical experience in root canal treatment, conservative dentistry, and aesthetic restorations. Patients who have been told they need a root canal, are dealing with tooth pain, or have a cracked or damaged tooth that needs proper restoration, will find in him a specialist who brings both technical precision and genuine patience to every procedure.
He completed his BDS from SDM College of Dental Sciences, Dharwad, under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in 2006, and his MDS in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics from AECS Maaruti College of Dental Sciences and Research Center, Bangalore, in 2012. Before his postgraduate studies, he trained under Dr Sunil Rao, a noted speaker on FKG Rotary File systems.
At RxDx, patients can consult Dr Abhishek Shetty for assessment of tooth pain, evaluation of teeth that may need root canal treatment, cracked or broken teeth requiring restoration, and cosmetic concerns such as discoloured or chipped teeth. A particular strength he brings is his approach to single-sitting root canal treatment, which he performs routinely, reducing the number of appointments a patient needs and making the process considerably less disruptive. He is also trained in microscopic endodontics and re-treatment under a microscope, which allows precise management of teeth where previous treatment has failed.
Patient reviews consistently highlight a calm doctor who communicates clearly before starting and ensures patients are comfortable throughout. He has been described as the right doctor for complex or anxiety-provoking root canal cases, including difficult presentations like hot tooth syndrome where standard anaesthesia does not work.
At RxDx Clinics, Whitefield, Bengaluru, patients with tooth pain, a failing tooth, or a restoration that needs replacing can get an honest specialist assessment and, where needed, root canal treatment or an aesthetic restoration without being sent to a large dental hospital.
