Dr. Bandani
Meet Dr. Bandani
Dr. Bandani has over 30 years of experience providing thoughtful, patient-centered dental care. He began his journey in dentistry at a young age, earning his dental degree from Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital in Pune, India, in 1994 at just 22 years old. After completing a one-year residency, he moved to the United States in 1996 to continue advancing his career.
After relocating to the U.S., Dr. Bandani supported himself by working as both a dental assistant and in the restaurant industry while preparing for his dental licensing exams. Through dedication and perseverance, he successfully passed the National Dental Board examinations Parts I and II, along with the bench examination, all on his first attempt. He then began practicing dentistry in the United States, where he gained valuable experience in both patient care and dental office operations.
In 2004, Dr. Bandani co-founded the practice with Dr. Bastani, and in 2008 became the sole owner. Since then, he has continued serving the community, building lasting relationships with generations of patients and their families.
Dr. Bandani is known for his calm, gentle approach and his commitment to making patients feel comfortable. He understands that dental visits can be stressful, so he takes the time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and ensure every patient feels informed, respected, and at ease.
When Dr. Bandani was once asked, “What is your favorite dental procedure?” his answer was simple:
“Getting a patient out of pain.”
That response reflects the philosophy that has guided his career for more than three decades. While he enjoys all aspects of dentistry, nothing is more rewarding to him than helping someone find relief, restore their health, and leave the office feeling better than when they arrived.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Bandani enjoys spending time with his family and staying active through exercise, meditation, biking, swimming, and music. He believes that caring for one’s health extends beyond dentistry and that a healthy smile is an important part of living a happy, balanced life.
Our entire team shares this same commitment to thoughtful, respectful care. We strive to create a welcoming environment where every patient feels supported, valued, and treated like family.
The Story Behind Living Teethfully
After more than 20 years of serving our community, Dr. Bandani felt it was time to create an identity that reflected not only the practice, but the philosophy behind it. The vision was to build something meaningful that could grow for generations—a name and symbol that would continue to inspire long into the future.
The name Living Teethfully was inspired by an idea from Dr. Bandani’s wife. It began as a thoughtful play on the familiar phrase “living truthfully,” evolving into something uniquely its own. The name captures a simple belief: that caring for our smiles is part of living well, and that oral health contributes to our overall well-being, confidence, and quality of life.
Once the name was chosen, Dr. Bandani brought the vision to life through art. Having always enjoyed drawing and creative design, he sketched the original logo by hand, completing the concept in a single day. Every detail was created with purpose.
The smiling teeth joined hand in hand represent unity, joy, and the connection we share with one another. The heart-shaped gums symbolize that genuine care is the foundation of every healthy smile. At the center, the shining star represents light, hope, and the positive difference we can make in each other’s lives. Together, these elements remind us that a smile is more than teeth—it is a reflection of health, confidence, kindness, and human connection.
Creating the Living Teethfully brand was about more than designing a logo. It was about expressing a purpose: to encourage healthier lives, brighter smiles, and meaningful relationships while building a legacy that will continue into the future. It is especially meaningful to Dr. Bandani that his son has chosen to pursue dentistry, inspired by watching his father serve the community from a young age. The hope is that Living Teethfully will continue to represent these values for generations to come.
