01 Background
Education and Professional Background
Dr. Hrishikesh Naik pursued his dental education at Nair Hospital Dental College, one of Mumbai's respected government dental institutions, completing his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in 2007 and going on to specialize further with a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Prosthodontics and Implantology in 2011. This specialization focuses on replacing and restoring damaged or missing teeth — from a single filling to a full-mouth reconstruction — as well as the surgical placement of dental implants.
Since then, he has practiced restorative and implant dentistry for over 18 years, co-founding PlanDental together with Dr. Nisha Naik in Mahim West, where the clinic has remained at the same Guru Nanak Road address for over 18 years.
Prosthodontics and Implantology is the branch of dentistry most directly focused on rebuilding and replacing teeth — the foundation of Dr. Naik's day-to-day practice.
These are Dr. Naik's areas of focus within general dentistry — PlanDental's full range of treatments is covered by both doctors together.
04 Approach
How Dr. Naik Approaches Treatment Planning
Understand the full picture first
A thorough exam and any needed imaging come before recommending a treatment plan.
Explain the options honestly
Genuine alternatives are laid out with their trade-offs, not just a single default recommendation.
Plan for the long term
Restorative and implant work is planned with durability and future dental health in mind, not just the immediate fix.
Restorative and implant dentistry often involves decisions that affect a patient's mouth for years — Dr. Naik takes the time to walk through those trade-offs before treatment begins.
