Creating Infectious Smiles!

Dr.Shibli Syed.,(B.D.S., M.D.S.) Orthodontist,Braces Specialist

Their smiles are infectious. So infectious that their patients smile with them despite theirpains!

They are Pune’s most acclaimed dental clinic, FDOC’s dentists,Dr. Shibli Syed, Dr. Shoaib Syed,&Dr.Saina Elahi Syed. And everything about them &their chain of clinics, FDOC Multi-speciality Dental Chains is worth smiling about, right from the time one enters their clinics at East Street &Kasbapeth in Pune!

It all started in the year 2010 when the 3rdtopper in BDSfrom MUHS Nashik, the young Dr.Shibli, started his single-chair practice atKasbapeth. With dedication and hard work, it grew to double-chairs in 2013. Today joined by his brother Dr.Shoaib,an endodontist &FDOC’s root-canal specialist, the clinic has crossed milestones in dentistry, with a 3-chair Clinic & a Dental Academy! Dr. Shoaib Syed,the Director of thisdental clinic located in Camp in Pune,also manages the FDOC Dental Academy.

About the thought behind the FDOC Academy, Dr.Shoaib modestly described it as an attempt to give back to the professionwhich has given them so much&describes it as a training ground for fellow practitioners wanting to hone their skills in varied dental procedures.When asked about what gives him most satisfaction in his work, Dr Shoaib repliedthat it’s the smile on his patients’ faces which till a while back wreathed in paid due to tooth decay.The change was obviously due to a successful root-canal procedure at FDOC! Besides Dr Shoaib, there is Dr.Saina, a Periodontist &Implantologist, FDOC’s gums and implantsspecialist whose happy moments are when implants give new life to a toothless mouth. Such cases are in plenty at the clinics.

Team FDOC once limited to General Dentistryis today into all the specializations in the field including basic root-canal, crowns & bridges, teeth alignment, braces, smile designing, cosmetic treatments& dental implants.Patients in the meanwhile have steadily grown in numbers from a modest handful to over 25000 today! As regards FDOC’sfocus,it is towards providing a comprehensive, integrated, and holistic treatment in dentistry which remains systematic, stable, and predictable.

On what remains the secret behind FDOCs stupendous success, Dr Shibli Syed puts it down to the team’s unwavering and unrelenting focus on cleanliness. Sterilization, be it of dental instruments, the chair or the clinic itself, remains an over-riding concern visible right from the time one enters the premises. Another area where they score over others is the diligent use of digital X-rays to minimize radiation. The practice also brings to usethe most recent advances in dentistry in the form of dental lasers,dental microscopes,loupes,whitening systems,PentaMixto mention some.

Warmth towards patients being a priority at FDOC, pains &discomfort are taken care right from the reception where soft music afriendly staff makesone feel relaxed during the appointment.From the treatment perspective,patients aren’t exposed to scary-looking instruments& needles. As regards injections, they regularly use topical anaesthesiato keep patients’ discomfort to a minimum. Post-appointment care being uppermost, the staff regularly calls up patientsto enquire about the latter’s health &views on the treatment at the clinic. FDOC has its own digital appointment management systems for smooth appointment scheduling which helps reduce waiting time at the reception.

Luck, destiny& most of all hard work have brought FDOC to where it is today. Their team of doctors &support staff, also plays an important role in keeping the practice look & feel professional. Plans are afoot to add more clinics &academies in the future. The fraternity &the trade are where they look up to when it comes to marshalling resources to turn their dreams into reality, more so concerning their training academy.

Speaking of FDOC’s milestones, the good doctor feels immensely proud, mentioning the patients overwhelming response to their PAINLESS & BLOODLESS treatment on social media platforms like Practo.He also mentions about the massive rise in ortho cases with patients opting for high end braces& aligners. There has been a corresponding rise in the dental implants and cosmetic treatment like tooth whitening.These aside,Dr.Shibli is not short of personal awards!He was awarded the ‘The Most Trusted Orthodontist of The Year’at Indian Health Professional Awards 2017 and nominated THE BEST ORTHODONTIST by FAMDENT in 2018. To this end, Dr. Shibli Syed is also associated as a Consultant with the best dental clinics in Pune & known corporate dental chains like SabkaDentist, Healthsprings, Apollo Hospitals, Rao Nursing Home & Shree Hospital to name some.

FDOC was also awarded the “Best clinic of the year “award at Indian Health Professional Awards 2017. Besides, FAMDENT nominated FDOC as THE BEST DENTAL CLINIC in the year 2018.

The best recognition, according to Dr. Shibli Syed, comes from patients who post positive feedbacksboth online and offline, besides giving online testimonials & videos. Some even shower the team with gifts to show their love and appreciation! Their reception diary these days needs to be changed ever so often for this very reason!

To round off, this remains the doctor’s Business mantra for young and aspiring dentists:

Work hard. Learn well. Give your clients the best that you can. And last but not the least, be open and sincere. Sooner than expected, success shall be at your door-step!
