Expertise with a calm, human approach.
Joburg Dental’s current team combines specialist periodontal care, oral hygiene, treatment coordination, clinical support and infection control.
Dr Rakesh Chandran
Undergraduate dental training at MGR Medical University in 2001, followed by postgraduate study across dental public health, oral pathology, oral implantology and specialist periodontics.
High-level training without losing the patient conversation.
Dr Chandran’s published approach centres on professionalism, continuing education, current technology and helping patients understand their condition and treatment choices.
That means the specialist credentials are not separate from the patient journey — they support clearer diagnosis, treatment planning and decision-making.
