Dr. Nischit Shah DDS MSD: Periodontist in Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, & Wildomar, CA
|
About meI’m Nischit Shah DDS MSD, a periodontist here at Upland Dental Implant and Orthodontics. I’ve been a periodontist since 2018, and see patients at our Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, and Wildomar offices.
Gum health is often overlooked by patients and dentists alike, and that’s a main reason I wanted to become a periodontist. Because many patients are better about caring for their teeth than caring for their gums, the perio niche is a unique place to educate patients on the oral microbiome and its relationship to one’s overall health. |
As a periodontist, my specialties are gum surgery, soft tissue grafts, bone grafts, tooth extractions, and dental implants.
Before practicing here, I had experience at my father's dental practice in Los Angeles, and I volunteered at City of Hope Hospital, provided community service for underserved populations in San Francisco, and had 3 years of experience as an associate dentist during my perio residency.
Why do my patients enjoy working with me? Besides that I am gentle and care about their comfort, they often tell me that I am detailed and thorough in my explanations of diagnosis and treatment, and in providing helpful and practical suggestions for ongoing oral hygiene.
Outside of the office, I am all about spending time with my family and friends (many of whom are also in dental and other medical fields) and exercising and fitness. If I didn’t become a periodontist, I would have been an environmental scientist, biologist, or clinical researcher - all areas I enjoy learning about in my spare time.
