Juili Subodh Shivde, DMD, was exposed to healthcare from a young age, inspired by her physician parents. This background ignited a passion for blending artistic creativity with science, ultimately guiding her to a career in dentistry. 

“The field’s commitment to lifelong learning, precision and patient-centered care resonates deeply with me,” Shivde said.

Less than three years after graduating from the Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry, Shivde has already racked up several professional achievements, including earning the Temple Alumni Humanitarian Award and receiving the Scientific e-Poster Award at AGD2024. 

Her practice, located in a dental workforce shortage area, focuses not only on dental care, but also on addressing the social determinants of health. 

“We’ve established strong partnerships with local organizations to connect our patients with food banks and housing assistance programs,” Shivde said, underscoring her commitment to holistic care. 

Her dedication extends to mentoring dental students, which is one of the reasons Soham Vivek Apte, DMD, nominated Shivde to this year’s 10 Dentists to Watch list.

“Through her experience observing students rotate at the clinic, she identified that while most dental students are proficient in restorative dentistry, they lack experience in raising flaps and attempting surgical extraction cases,” Apte said. “So, she encourages the scheduling of patients in a way to allow students to undertake as many extraction cases as possible and hopes to mentor them to prepare them for real-world dentistry, which will significantly boost their clinical skills.” 

Shivde is eager to shape the future of dental education through her new role as adjunct faculty at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry. She also plans to contribute to organized dentistry and continue her research, aiming to make a lasting impact on both her profession and underserved populations.
