With over two decades of clinical experience and the highest credential in endodontics, Dr. Bathina brings a level of expertise and care that is rare in today's volume-driven dental landscape.
Dr. Bathina is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics — a distinction held by a select number of endodontists nationwide. This certification represents the highest level of competence in the specialty, earned through rigorous examination and case defense beyond the requirements of a residency.
After earning a Certificate in Endodontics from the University of Southern California (USC), one of the nation's top-ranked programs, Dr. Bathina honed skills across three continents over a career spanning more than twenty years. That global perspective informs an evidence-based approach to care — drawing on diverse techniques and the latest research to give every patient an honest assessment and the best possible outcome.
Dr. Bathina's treatment philosophy is straightforward: take whatever time the case demands, give the patient an honest prognosis, and never cut corners for the sake of speed. Every case gets a thorough evaluation — weighing the clinical evidence, updating the assessment as findings emerge, and recommending treatment based on what the tooth actually needs, not what fits a schedule.
As a faculty member at Texas A&M College of Dentistry, Dr. Bathina remains at the cutting edge of endodontic science and technique. Teaching the next generation of dentists means staying current with evolving research, materials, and technology — and bringing those advancements directly into patient care at Bathina Endodontics.

No insurance formularies limiting material choices. No double-booked schedules. No pressure to rush. Just focused, expert care — one patient at a time.
