Business News Oct 11, 2025 Add to Reading List

In the sunlit lanes of Panjim, where vibrant culture meets tranquil coastal charm, there’s a dental clinic that’s quickly become synonymous with excellence, warmth, and trust — Billion Dollar Smile Dental Clinic. Run by the husband-and-wife duo Dr. Atif Shaikh and Dr. Saniya Shaikh, this clinic is redefining how people in Goa see dentistry: not as a chore or a necessity, but as a pathway to greater confidence, comfort, and wellness.

The Vision Behind the Clinic

For Drs. Atif and Saniya, their journey in dentistry has always been more than teeth and gums. They believe a smile is often the first impression, the bridge between people, and a subtle but powerful tool for self-esteem. When they decided to open a clinic together in Panjim, their goal was clear: create a space where every patient feels cared for — clinically and compassionately.

“We wanted a clinic that feels like home,” says Dr. Saniya, whose gentle demeanour immediately puts even nervous patients at ease. Dr. Atif, an accomplished orthodontist, adds: “We combine advanced techniques with a human touch. Dentistry should not be intimidating; it should be transformational.”

Meet the Founders

Dr. Atif Shaikh
With an MDS in Orthodontics and extensive experience in aligning smiles, Dr. Atif is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge orthodontic solutions to Goa. His clinical precision, combined with a patient-first philosophy, has earned him an outstanding reputation among peers and patients alike.
Dr. Saniya Shaikh
Dr. Saniya is a holistic and aesthetic dentist with a sensitive approach to care. Her training and interest in cosmetic dentistry enable her to enhance smiles not just functionally, but beautifully. As she often says, “Dental health and aesthetics go hand in hand.”

Together, they lead a team that values continuous learning, patient education, and transparency.

Services That Set Them Apart

At Billion Dollar Smile, patients can expect a full suite of dental services including:

Orthodontics (braces, aligners)
Cosmetic dentistry (veneers, whitening, smile do-overs)
Restorative treatments (crowns, bridges, implants)
Preventive care (cleaning, scaling, gingival health)
Pediatric and general dentistry

What distinguishes them, however, is not just what they do — but how they do it. Each treatment follows a patient-specific plan, backed by digital diagnostics, 3D imaging, and open communication. Before any procedure, every patient is walked through the steps, risks, costs, alternatives, and postoperative care.

A Caring Environment

From the moment one steps in, the ambience at Billion Dollar Smile is soothing. Soft lighting, relaxing music, and warm smiles from staff help ease the anxiety many feel at a dental clinic. Children, in particular, are welcomed with patience and gentle explanations.

Drs. Atif and Saniya also emphasize camera-on sessions in virtual consultations, detailed pre-treatment consultations, and follow-up care. “We want to build trust even before the first drill touches the tooth,” Dr.Saniya explains.

Community Commitment & Patient Stories

Billion Dollar Smile doesn’t just serve paying clients — they reach out through awareness drives, free screening camps, and school programs in Goa. Their philosophy is that oral health is foundational to overall well-being, and they treat every outreach as part of their mission.

Patients frequently praise the clinic’s blend of professionalism and empathy. One local recounts, “I came in with severe fear of root canal treatment; Dr. Saniya walked me through every step and reassured me. Today, I smile freely again.”

Another sharing her orthodontic journey says, “Dr. Atif’s precision with braces was excellent. He monitored progress weekly, made adjustments, and never made me feel rushed.”

Why Panjim Chose Billion Dollar Smile

In Goa’s evolving healthcare landscape, patients in Panjim and nearby areas have recognized the difference: modern infrastructure, high safety standards, transparent pricing, and — above all — a caring approach. The clinic’s location in the heart of Goa ensures accessibility, and their hours accommodate busy professionals and families.

Because this is a husband-and-wife practice, many clients feel an extra personal touch — the sense that the people behind the clinic truly care about their well-being beyond a single appointment.
