Dr. Tanvee Sachin Somaiya, Founder – DentAbode
Dr. Tanvee Sachin Somaiya is a dentist and a specialist in orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders and dental sleep medicine, with a practice rooted in both clinical precision and patient comfort. With advanced training from Roseman University, Smile USA Academy, Greifswald University and ILAMED, her work focuses on addressing complex pain conditions while also transforming smiles with care and empathy.
Her journey into dentistry began with a deep interest in biology and a desire to become a doctor. As a dental patient herself, she became aware of how neglected oral health is in society despite the intensity of dental pain. That realization shaped her decision to pursue dentistry with the intent of creating awareness and making a meaningful difference.
After completing her BDS from MGM Dental College, she began her career as an associate dentist, an experience that strengthened her clinical foundation and patient connection. In 2017, she established her own clinic, DentAbode, with the vision of creating a space where patients feel at ease while receiving high quality care. Over time, her curiosity led her to explore lesser known areas such as orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine, where she found her true calling. Today, she is focused on helping patients understand that chronic facial pain and even snoring are not conditions to be ignored.
Her inspiration comes from her mentor, Dr. Samidha Gandhi, whose ability to balance multiple roles left a lasting impression. As a woman, she faced challenges ranging from being underestimated due to her physical appearance to balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Each experience strengthened her resilience and sharpened her focus.
Beyond dentistry, she finds joy in writing, art, baking and continuous learning, and has authored a poetry collection titled A Bouquet of Unspoken Words; Ardent Expressions.
For Dr. Somaiya, success lies in ethics, purpose and growth. Her journey continues with a clear mission to spread awareness, relieve pain and create healthier, happier smiles. The journey has been possible with unwavering support from husband, family, friends, teachers, patients and staff!
