IN HIS OWN WORDS
Dr. Dhanesh Pore
If you hear someone singing or humming at the office, there's a good chance it's me.
Dentistry has always been fun for me. It doesn't feel like a chore. I chose it because I wanted to build lifelong relationships with my patients, get to know their families, and watch their children grow up. Those relationships are still the part of my work I enjoy most.
If you're nervous in the chair, we can talk about your family, or I might sing a little. I explain things in simple words. Sometimes a familiar conversation helps a dental visit feel a little less unfamiliar. Patients often tell me how gentle I am, and that means a lot to me.
My patients know me for being happy, singing, and remembering the details about them and their families. I enjoy knowing what's happening in their lives, beyond the reason for today's visit.
I graduated from Government Dental College, Gujarat, in 1991 and have practiced in Temecula since 2001. I speak English, Hindi, and Gujarati.
IN HER OWN WORDS
Dr. Sherry Sandhu
I was born and raised in Canada, graduated from the University of Saskatchewan, and have been practicing dentistry since 2008. For the past 10 years, the Temecula Valley has been home.
What I love most about dentistry is helping people feel more confident in their smiles. But honestly, the relationships are what make it special. I love getting to know my patients, watching families grow, and seeing familiar faces year after year.
My approach is gentle, meticulous, and thoughtful. I'm a big believer in explaining the "why" and "how" behind your treatment, so you know your options and feel good about the decisions we make together. I also love continuing education, so I'm always learning the latest techniques.
Away from the office, I'm usually with my husband, our two kids, and our Goldendoodle. I try to squeeze in at least one international adventure every year, and I'm always up for somewhere new, especially if there's great food and good coffee involved. Got a favorite destination or restaurant? Tell me about it at your next visit!
