Careful, unhurried dentistry.

Thankot sits at the western edge of the Kathmandu Valley, where the highway begins its climb. For years, anything beyond a basic filling meant a journey into the city — an hour each way, a day off work, and a queue at the end of it.

Sanjivani Dental Clinic exists so that journey is no longer necessary. Digital X-rays, root canal treatment, crowns, braces, extractions and implants are all done here in Thankot, by the same team, in a clinic run to the standards you would expect from a much larger hospital.

What we are not is a production line. Appointments are long enough to explain things properly. Nervous patients get extra time rather than a lecture. Children get a first visit where nothing happens except counting teeth and choosing a sticker.

If a tooth can be saved, we will tell you how. If it cannot, we will tell you that too — and we will not charge you for finding out.
