Dr. Ganne earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree in India in 1997. Driven by a passion for advanced education, she pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at Columbia University, where she continued her training to achieve her lifelong goal of becoming an endodontist in 2003.

After gaining valuable experience practicing in Connecticut, Dr. Ganne and her family relocated to Austin, Texas, in 2005. She joined Austin Endodontics, where she currently serves as a practicing endodontist and owner-doctor at two locations: Cedar Park and Westlake.

Dr. Ganne is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Texas Dental Association (TDA), the Capital Area Dental Society, and is a founding member of the Austin Indian Dental Association (AIDA).

Dedicated to both professional growth and community engagement, Dr. Ganne is committed to lifelong learning. She regularly pursues continuing education and hosts lectures and seminars for her local dental referral network. Her guiding philosophy is simple yet powerful: to provide the highest quality dental care and help patients preserve their natural teeth.
