A Note from Our Founder

Trusted Care for Little Smiles

When we started Shine Dental in 2013, we had one simple belief,  every child deserves to smile without fear.

What began as a single chair has grown into Nepal’s most inclusive pediatric dental clinic, but our heart has never changed. We see children, not just teeth. We see families who trust us on some of their most anxious days, and we take that trust seriously.

Building a space where a child with autism feels as welcome as any other, where a child in a wheelchair never has to wait outside, where a nervous four-year-old leaves with a sticker and a grin, that is the work we wake up for every day.

Nepal’s children deserve world-class care, delivered with warmth. That has always been, and will always be the Shine Way.

 – Dr. Sneedha Mainali Founder & Pediatric Dentist, The Shine Dental
