Just recently moved to the desert and was recommended by a co worker …. I had an amazing experience. I highly recommend … very organized with paperwork Dr Senthil and Yvette were professional and understanding. Yvette was competent and gentle during a deep cleaning … I almost fell asleep … no needles just an incredible gel to numb the area. Yvette loves her profession and is passionate about taking care of her patients … I’m so happy I found Dr Senthil and Yvette!

Dr. Senthil is currently offering all of the high tech tools and methodology related to her patients with a customized dental implant experience. She takes the time to thoroughly explain your options and I could give her a higher recommendation.

The great dentists are respectful, helpful and really care about their patients. I highly recommend people go there and they do the job right.
Disne Backovich
Dr Senthil was faced with the decision to repair a broken tooth which would require lab work and more expense or do a repair without lab work. Both patient and doctor made the decision to do without the lab work
The repair is excellent and I could not be any happier with my experience with Dr Senthil.

I had to have a tooth extraction and was faced with the choice of an implant or bridge. Dr. Senthi was instrumental in my choice for a bridge. The surgery was relatively painless and I am looking forward to a great smile. I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Senthi for any dental procedure. Dr. Senthi is a very talented Dental Surgeon.

Best dentist in Cathedral City and beyond
Dr. Senthil’s office provides excellent service. They are consistently kind and professional. The hygienist Yvette is the most thorough I have ever had. She is kind, compassionate and will not stop until your teeth are absolutely perfect. I have had fillings and crowns done here as well and have never been disappointed. You can’t go wrong with Dr. Senthil and associates!

Best Dentist Ever
Dr. Senthil is the most competent, compassionate and personable dentist I've ever known. I found her several years ago when I had a very painful abscessed tooth and couldn't reach my regular dentist. I left a message for her, and although it was after office hours, she called me back and fit me into her schedule within hours. She not only fixed my tooth, she literally saved it. Last year, she saved another tooth that she discovered needed a root canal. Although she specializes in tooth implants, she's an expert at general dentistry that prevents the patient from needing to have an implant. And bonus, she has a very gentle touch, resulting in a pain- free experience. Dr. Senthil is simply the best.

The service my family received from Dr. Senthill, Yvette and the girls at the front was exceptional. I had the best “mouth spa” in my cleaning experience. The staff is personable, knowledgeable and very thorough. My questions were answered with confidence and clarity. Best teeth experience in the Desert! Thank you team
Annette Castaldi
Dr. Senthil is a phenomenal Dentist. On a rating of 1 to 5, she is a five star plus. Dr. Senthil, her Assistant, Andrea, and her entire office are very caring, kind, and patient. I am not an easy patient. I have terrible gagging problems, however, she worked with me through all of that, and always had a smile on her face. She is very meticulous in her work. I walked into her office with a mess, and after completing all of my procedures for implants, I am happy to say, I now have a beautiful smile that exceeded my expectations.
Leticia Gonzalez
Dr. Senthil and her entire staff provide some of the best dental care you can ask for. They care so much and along the way enjoy educating you until you understand everything that is going on with your treatment. I have ben going her for 2 years now and would never want to go any where else.
Nica Johnson
I have had many dentists throughout my 48 years of traveling and living in various countries and cities. None have come close to the experiences I have had in the chair of Dr. Senthil! Let’s face it, no one likes being at the dentist! But if you have to be, then why not opt for a dentist that truly cares about you,, not only throughout the procedure but what you are left to look at day in and day out! I have never been proud of my smile until I found Dr. Senthil. Top notch!
Joel
If Dr. Senthil were a restaurant, I'd go back frequently. She's isn't, but she is a great oral surgeon and implant specialist, and I recommend her highly and without qualification. She is caring, gentle, exceedingly patient with patients, and extremely knowledgeable. She takes the time to discuss alternatives and the pros and cons of each. Pain free dentistry at its best. We are lucky to have her in the area.
Gary Alexander
A local dentist did a crown for me and I suffered pain for two months. I finally called Dr. Senthil's office and scheduled an appointment. After two visits I left with a perfect crown that feels like my natural tooth. I have don't have any pain now. Dr. Senthil was so professional personable and caring. She is a perfectionist, It was like night and day in comparison. I would recommend her to any one. Dr.Senthi, I can't thank you enough!
Ray Jeffers
Her expertise and professional service are the best I've ever experienced. I had throat cancer in 2013 and my jawbone and teeth were compromised from all the radiation treatments I had. I had to have oral surgery twice. Dr Senthil far exceeded my expectations for a good outcome. I also had to have a deep cleaning procedure and Yvette who works with Dr Senthil is fantastic. I would highly recommend all of these dentist. I'm very grateful for my treatment with them.
Virginia M Jones
I wish to thank Keerthi Senthil for her kindness and thoughtfulness to me. Everyone in this office is so professional and thoughtful in every way.

S. Smith
I am having a bridge and three crowns done. Everyone has been very nice and Dr. Senthil is very happy to tell you about the procedure and go the extra mile to do the job right. This is the first time I have ever had a female dentist. She is excellent, and I highly recommend her and her staff.
Sharon Zaccagnino
Just today I was fitted with my implants. It took five and half months and was worth every day. Dr. Senthil and Dr. Raj have the patience of a saint. They work with you and listen to you. And first and foremost I am more than happy. Thank you for as you say, "giving me my smile back." Thank you again, Sharon Zaccagnino

I don't go on Facebook, twitter etc. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Dr. Senthil. I look forword to my next visit for a cleaning. What a really pleasant staff. I am very happy.
L.J.
Hi! Yvette worked on me. Well she was going to work on my teeth cleaning but found so many changes from the year before. I had more than 10 deep pockets that I hadn’t had before. She felt terrible and I could feel her concern. She spoke clearly and slowly explaining that I would need two different very deep cleaning and antibiotic packing appointments. She explained that this would require a longer appointment and that my insurance would have have to be notified……that I then would have to ok what the insurance would not pay. Everything was clearly explained and I suggested and Yvette agreed we’d set up two appointments following my husband and my upcoming departure on vacation. I am so impressed with Yvette’s knowledge, attitude, care and concern. I felt safe.
Cath Porter

Awesome and caring staff. Dr Senthil is very comprehensive towards her approach to treatments for me an implant specialist!

Thank you so much Dr. Senthil for all you have done for me. I am so blessed to have had you as my dentist through all of my “extreme” dental work. Everything you have done is so perfect. You are such a skilled and caring person who obviously truly loves what you do. Thank you so much, you truly made a difference in my life.

With my previous dental background, it can be difficult to trust a dental team.
I just had my maintenance cleaning and know I am in good hands.
Jabeen M.
I'm pleased with Dr. Senthil and her staff. They were all very professional and friendly. Dr. Senthil takes the time to explain everything about the treatment, and they have all the latest technology and state-of-the-art facility.
I highly recommend Implants Guru for all my dental needs!!!
Mitchell A.
I'm having the snap on dentures and Dr Raj has been very good so far. I'm a hard person to please dental wise cause of my fear of them . Dr Raj makes me feel confident as I am of him.
Doug M.
I have been going to Implants Guru for over five years now. I'm extremely satisfied with the level of care that I have received. I feel my dental health has improved from the previous dentist that I have been going to for probably 20 years. They are very detail minded and thorough in their work. I highly recommend!
Nora O.
I have been a patient of Dr. Senthil for approximately 5 years and I am very satisfied with the way she treats her patients, she is honest and perfectionist in her work. Her staff is very efficient, friendly and her dental hygienist Yvette is the best, she takes her time to explain the state of your gums and oral health and is very kind and gentle. I couldn't recommend a better Dentist and dental hygienist than them. Thank you Dr. Senthil!
Clarissa W.
We were extremely happy with this office from the first phone call through walking out the door after the procedure was finished. My boyfriend cracked a molar while here in the Palm Springs area on vacation from out of state. It was too broken to eat and we had no idea if he would be able to get an appointment anywhere to fix it. Our out of state insurance company was also making it extremely difficult to find an office who may accept our plan.
I reached out to several offices trying to get it sorted out and none of the others were nearly as friendly and helpful as Myra at the front desk at Implants Guru. She had to make more than one call to our insurance company for information and she remained kind and patient throughout the process. We decided based on her attitude that we would go to Implants Guru regardless of insurance coverage.
We made the appointment for a little later in the afternoon but got a call from another lovely employee, Raquel, and were offered an appointment 2 hours earlier!
They sent the link to their easy to complete new patient forms through a text and when we got to the office we were all signed in and ready to go. We were given a quote showing detailed patient responsibility amounts if an extraction was required before we even saw the doctor.
Both Dr. Raj Swamidass and the technician were also very friendly, understanding, and willing to answer all of our questions. Dr. Raj was also able to give us a temporary fix to get us through the end of our trip so that we can deal with the painful extraction process after arriving back home instead of badly impacting the rest of our fun time here. And after everything the cost was very reasonable!
I am a medical office manager back at home and this office is a model of how a good medical office should run! I would hire every staff member we encountered to work at my office. We really wish we could transplant the whole office and staff back to Oregon with us to use their dental services!
Massimiliano B.
The Best Dentist I have ever been to.She and her whole stuff are amazing!!!Everything was explained from start to finish.Very professional,warm and friendly.Always with a smile on her face.1000% recommended.
Fred S.
I can't express in words how ecstatic I am to have not only a new, good set of choppers in my mouth that allow me to eat all the foods I had to pass on before due to the deterioration of my teeth, but I am no longer afraid to laugh and talk in public because I have my smile back again! Dr. Senthil is not only THE most qualified implant dentist in the area, but she actually CARES about each of her patients and is very active in insuring that you end up similar to me: completely satisfied beyond any words. My procedure was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic (hit right after I had my extractions done and implants were healing), so there was a great deal of frustration on my part with the delay (which was not Dr. Senthil's fault nor anything she could control), but Dr. Senthil personally was involved in easing those frustrations and getting me to where I am now: completely satisfied and back to living my life without worry of what people are thinking when they see my poor oral health or having to miss by out on eating something because it would hurt to do so or couldn't eat it because of missing teeth or infected gums. From the initial consultation, when Dr. Sentheil presented me with several different options, to the final outcome, Dr. Senthil has shown that she not only know her "stuff", but also cares about your well being and wants this not only to be a successful dental procedure but a life-enhancing experience - she is a true implant "guru" and you can't find anyone better.
Jonathan G.
I visited Dr. Senthill last week in order to have an existing veneer cemented back to one of my teeth Dr. Senthill is polite and was deliberate to ensure that before I left, my veneer was correctly re-attached and my ability to correctly floss to care for my teeth was restored, Other dentists had failed to remove excess cement. I appreciated that this dentist's office talked openly and respectfully about costs. The hygienist was polite and professional, and friendly. I highly recommend this Dr. Senthill, a dentist who takes the time to ensure quality work, provides a clear understanding of reasonable costs, where you can anticipate being treated nicely. The office is attractive and well-located. Every expectation of mine from a good dentist, was surpassed.
Kathy R.
Dr. Senthil and her staff are awesome. They are professional, compassionate, and the outcome of my procedures was better than I could have ever imagined.
I went in for two dental implants in my upper jaw, including bone grafts for those teeth, along with 5 additional crowns. I am a self-professed coward and intensely dislike going to the dentist. After my consultation with Dr. Senthil, who patiently explained every part of the procedure to me, answered all of my many questions, and basically calmed my fears, I was ready to begin treatment. I finished yesterday and can not believe the transformation. My smile looks wonderful and I feel like a new, improved me.
She has all the latest technology, and I especially like that she not only surgically installs the implant posts, but she also does everything related to that, including ordering and placing the crowns. I had only to go to one office for all my visits. What a relief!
It is so important to me to not only get excellent dental care, but to also feel comfortable while there. Dr. Senthil is not only a great implant specialist, she is also super nice. She has also chosen her staff well. I know that often times I act like a three year old when I'm at the dentist, but her staff were so patient and kind to me and never acted like I was a bother. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So if you are looking for a dentist who is excellent at what she does, is kind, professional, patient, and at who's office you are well treated, look no further than Dr. Senthil. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and her staff. Highly recommend!
I will be back for more.
Tracy S.
I received wonderful service from Dr.Raj at Keerthi Senthil office.they were concerned and want to make sure that I was not in any kind of pain doing my procedure. I'm having dentures done and so far I am please with the step by step process. They encourage me to come back weekly to make sure I'm healing properly. I truly feel that they are concerned about my well-being. I look forward to my next appointment and my new dentures. I am truly pleased with the professionalism their patients and the peace that I have when I'm at the dental office. I would like to thank my doctor and staff for my pleasant experience.

I have had extensive dental work due to an accident. I am not a fan of the dentist, however Dr. Senthil is amazing. Her knowledge, professionalism and gentle touch made this experience a breeze. I don't fear appts as I have in the past. Thank you Dr Senthil and your wonderful staff!!
Nazie N.
Dr. Senthil is excellent. She is highly skilled, friendly and takes time to answer all your concerns. She truly cares about her patients. I highly recommend her!!
V K.
Dentist - phobic beyond reason! Broke a tooth Friday night , lower incisor! All ready crowned and sits right in front of difficult to work with bony tori mandibles. After a weekend of googling, Yelp reviews and phone calls, I needed a 3D imaging machine, lab on premise, TLC , implant :one stop. I'm not one to go to dentists at all! Dr Senthils office called Monday am, got me in ASAP. I left with a temporary tooth that day and today was the Day! Terrified as I was, she and her staff are wonderful! Empathetic, skilled and approached this expertly and with every consideration to every thing I had told them, from cost I needed to fear. No upselling, no shaming, constant awareness of my comfort. She had to shave off a bit of the bony tori unexpectedly but gave me a mild cortisone shot to prevent swelling, which is source of post op pain. I cannot say enough good! Clean, upscale, kind, and thorough. Explained every step of the way! I'm so happy with her. Highly recommend!Pricey but I'm limited to best by nature 5k total.
Tom R.
It is so nice to find such a great dentist! We moved here recently from OC and the thought of giving up our dentist (after many, many years) was not appealing. Dr. Senthil made all of those fears disappear! Super professional, state of the art equipment, and really clear in explaining what was needed. She does regular dentistry in addition to implants (that thankfully I don't need).
Peter A.
This is my first implant experience and thus far I am very impressed with Dr Senthil and her staff. She is very professional, quite knowledgeable and most calming. It's been almost one year since the process of bone graft and implant began and I will be receiving my tooth by end of month. She has taken great care all along the way to insure me that all procedures would go well and they have. I would highly recommend her practice.
Karen W
Dr. Senthil is so kind and such a good dentist. She explains things very clearly and comes up with different options when possible. Wouldn't go anywhere else for a dentist. All of her office staff are also wonderful. Been going there for 10 years now.
Gillean B
After visiting some of the best NY and NJ dentists, I wondered if I would find the same care when I moved to CA., I did my research and visited Dr. Keerthi Senthil. I am still searching for the proper adjectives to describe the proposed treatment I received from her. Her calm demeanor and remarkable expertise transcend the scope of dentistry for me. After two implants, a crown, and a filling, I can say she is the BEST second to none. My only remorse, I wish I'd met her sooner. Her staff Liz, Myra, and Yvette are also exceptional individuals. Visiting the dentist won't be a terrifying experience anymore if you plan on visiting Dr. Senthil.
Gerry G.
Dr. Senthil is the greatest. Not only was she very sensitive to my special needs, she's also a superb dentist. She knows how to problem solve for the best result.
I had a 6-teeth implant which required teeth to be pulled, bone to be replaced and many other adjustments. It was a large gap that would have required a removable denture. But she converted this awful withered gap into beautiful teeth. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
Thank you Dr. Senthil,
Gerry Guy
Cassandra K
WOW! Thank you Dr. Senthil for my amazing new smile. You and your staff have been truly wonderful and professional. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants quality work and a terrific experience to go see Dr. Senthil.
Frances G
Hi I'm Fran ,if I could this page would be covered in stars.The whole staff are so caring.I was born with extra small teeth ,all my friends had nice teeth I was so envious.well I'm almost 50 and my dream is coming true.I am so lucky I have the best team on my side.im almost done with the final procedure.my life what I have left of it is going to change for ever.I guess I should say what procedure I had done.12 teeth pulled a couple of grafts and post inserted at once.its almost time for me to pick color of new teeth and insertion of implants!!!!!foods I have missed.thank you for all the care you have giving me.
Vic C.
I can not say enough good things about this office. From the front office staff, Myra to Yvette- who cleans and educates me on dental hygiene for older teeth, and then Dr. Senthil. She has a caring attitude and takes the time to explain the process and procedure. I am not a fan of going to the dentist and this office makes it a pleasure.... did I say that??... YEP, a pleasure. She does not jump to the most expensive and invasive solution, but gave me a stair-step approach to getting the positive result we all strive for.
Joel R.
Dr. Senthil is outstanding, from start to finish. She offers top-drawer implant surgery and dental care, providing clear descriptions of options in advance, along with a step-by-step explanation along the way during procedures. No question is too bothersome for her, and she takes her time with each patient.
Dr. Senthil's dentistry is pain-free and cosmetically pleasing. Her "chair side manner" is extremely patient-centric, and her followup is exemplary. Dr. Sethil's entire staff is oriented toward patient comfort and convenience, and for those who are less than thrilled to need oral surgery to begin with, she provides a sensitive and caring practice that is hard to beat.
I recommend her highly.
Kerry B.
What became a nightmare after six months ended up a blessing when I met Dr. Keerthi Senthil. Short story: I had gone to another dentist (19 visits) infected implants, one requiring removal and bone graft. The pain, suffering, time, and money spent ending up in a disaster. That's when I went to Dr. Senthil, to undue the mess I was in. What a difference, 180 degrees, her calm, compassionate, sensitive, professional demeanor made for a delightful experience. Having to undo the problems that my previous dentist creator was no easy challenge and she made it a "walk in the park". I can't express my appreciation enough for her expertise and professional staff. I WISH I HAD COME TO HER FIRST. Had complete upper appliance done to perfection. Highly recommended!!
Scott F.
No pain and got me in and out
I highly recommend Dr. Senthil

Great experience Friendly Dentist and a great receptionist
T T.
What a great experience I had with Dr. Senthil. I was apprehensive about some work my front teeth and was assured the results would be to my liking. After I left the office I asked myself why had I not done this earlier. The results far exceeded my expectations. A true 5 star office. Yvette is the best hygienist I have had. I am a patient for life.
THANK YOU!!!
