Why He Was Nominated:

After six years as a restorative general dentist, Dr. Shenoy chose to specialize in endo­dontics. He now works at one of the most respected endodontic specialty practices in the Texas capital.

Tool He Can’t Live Without:

The operating Microscope, CBCT and the Gentlewave procedure. “I use the Microscope from start to finish on all root-canal treatments and even for consultations. The CBCT has changed the way we practice. We diagnose teeth extremely effectively and provide patients better outcomes. It’s a great educational tool. The Gentlewave employs multisonic technology to disinfect the inside of the tooth, getting irrigating solutions into areas we previously couldn’t reach.”

Impact of the Pandemic:

“We are at about 70 percent of normal [patient volume]. We worked through most of the shutdown, seeing emergency patients only.”

Something People Don’t Know:

“When I retire, I want to work at Costco giving out samples. The good samples, not the healthy ones.”
