During the residency Dr. Gandhi became proficient in implant placement and restoration, IV conscious sedation, wisdom teeth extractions, and treating medically complex patients. He also served as the Chief Resident during his second year in the residency program, leading his colleagues and also developing a love for teaching dentistry.

Dr. Gandhi stays active in giving back to the profession and is a part-time clinical instructor at the Dental College of Georgia in Augusta.

Focusing on complete health dentistry, Dr. Gandhi spends many hours outside the office continuing his dental training with the Spear Education continuum in his local study club, as well as workshops and seminars located in Scottsdale, Arizona. His latest concentration has been helping patients with facial & neck pain through different treatment options including splint therapy and/or Botox injections, with a keen focus on sleep dentistry, which addresses patient’s ability to breathe and their airway as a potential underlying cause of dental problems.
