SPECIALIST PROFILE

Meet Dr. Shalini Mohan, BDS, DMD, FICOI

I have always been fascinated by medicine and knew from an early age that I wanted a career in healthcare. I also loved working with my hands, and dentistry offered the perfect combination of science, artistry, and meaningful relationships with patients. It gave me the opportunity to improve people's health while making a lasting difference in their confidence and quality of life.

My dental journey began in India, where I earned my Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree in 1998. After moving to the United States to join my husband, I was determined to continue my passion for dentistry. I returned to dental school and earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2004.

In July 2004, I began practicing at what is now Downtown Dental & Implants of Oswego, and I've had the privilege of serving the Fox Valley community ever since. More than 22 years later, one of the greatest joys of my career is caring for multiple generations of families. Many of my patients have trusted me with their dental care for decades, and I am truly grateful for the relationships we've built together.

I believe my patients deserve the very best that dentistry has to offer. That's why I am passionate about continuing education and regularly pursue advanced training to stay at the forefront of modern dentistry. Our office has invested in leading-edge technology, including CEREC CAD/CAM same-day crown technology, digital intraoral scanners, a 3D printer, digital X-rays, and CBCT imaging for guided implant planning and placement.

I am proud to be a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and enjoy helping patients with dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, full-mouth rehabilitation, and oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea.

Our office has been honored to be voted Best Dentist in Kendall County for multiple consecutive years. I share that recognition with our exceptional all-women team and our wonderful patients, whose trust and support have made this achievement possible.

Giving back to our community has always been an important part of who I am. Every year, our team hosts Give a Veteran a Smile, providing complimentary dental care to local veterans, and we proudly support the Kendall County Food Pantry and other community organizations throughout the year.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our son, who is in college, our daughter, who is a high school senior, and our beloved cat. As my children grow older, I cherish every opportunity we have together.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family's healthcare. It is truly an honor to serve the Fox Valley community, and I look forward to helping you and your family enjoy healthy, confident smiles for many years to come.

You can schedule a consultation by calling our office at (630) 554-1855 or by using the online booking link on this page. Our team will help find a time that works for you and your family, and new patients are always welcome. Dr. Mohan personally reviews each new patient's history before the visit so your first appointment is as efficient and comfortable as possible.

What is Dr. Mohan's training and background?

Dr. Mohan earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree in India in 1998 and later her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2004. She is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and regularly completes advanced continuing education to keep her skills current. She has practiced at Downtown Dental & Implants of Oswego since July 2004.

Does Dr. Mohan place and plan dental implants?

Yes. As a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Dr. Mohan enjoys helping patients with dental implants as part of a broader focus that includes cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation. Our office uses CBCT imaging for guided implant planning and placement, which allows for precise, carefully mapped treatment. This technology helps her plan each case with a high degree of accuracy before any procedure begins.

What technology does the office use for crowns and restorations?

The practice has invested in CEREC CAD/CAM same-day crown technology, digital intraoral scanners, a 3D printer, digital X-rays, and CBCT imaging. This means many crowns can be designed and placed in a single visit, without the need for messy impressions or a temporary restoration. Dr. Mohan believes this kind of leading-edge equipment helps her deliver the standard of care she wants for every patient.

Can Dr. Mohan help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Yes, Dr. Mohan provides oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea as one of her clinical focuses. A custom-fitted oral appliance can be a comfortable alternative for patients who have trouble with traditional CPAP therapy. During your consultation, she will discuss whether this option is appropriate for your specific situation and work with you to find the right fit.

Does Dr. Mohan treat multiple generations of the same family?

She does, and it is one of the aspects of her work she values most. Many families have trusted her with their dental care for decades, with parents, children, and even grandchildren all seeing her over the years. Dr. Mohan is grateful for these long-standing relationships and the trust each generation places in her and the team.

How is the practice involved in the local community?

Every year, the team hosts "Give a Veteran a Smile," which provides complimentary dental care to local veterans as a way of saying thank you for their service. The practice also proudly supports the Kendall County Food Pantry along with other community organizations throughout the year. Dr. Mohan sees this community involvement as a meaningful part of being a long-term part of the Fox Valley area.

What should I expect at my first visit with Dr. Mohan?

Your first visit will typically include a thorough exam, digital X-rays or CBCT imaging if needed, and a conversation with Dr. Mohan about your dental history and any concerns you have. She takes time to listen before recommending any treatment, so you will have a clear understanding of your options and next steps. Our all-women team is here to make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.
