I graduated from UMDS (Guys Hospital) in 1997 and completed my Vocational Training in Berkshire through the Oxford Scheme, subsequently continuing as an Associate.

My interest in training dental nurses, combined with my ongoing commitment to further education, motivated me to apply for the Education Supervisor (ES) role. I have been serving as an ES since 2011. The expertise I gained through my prosthodontic training, along with my mentoring roles—both as a single and joint ES—have enabled me to create a safe and supportive learning environment for Foundation Dentists.

This includes a Master’s degree in Dental Implantology, a Certificate in Restorative Dental Practice from the Eastman Dental Institute, and further qualifications in Minor Oral Surgery, Dental Law and Ethics, and Dental Education.

My clinical interests lie particularly in cosmetic and implant dentistry, with a strong focus on crown and bridge work. In addition to my clinical role, I have a long-standing commitment to dental education and have been an Educational Supervisor (ES) since 2010. I’ve mentored numerous foundation dentists over the years, drawing on my experience in both setting up new practices and revitalising established ones to provide valuable insights to those at the start of their careers.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active, travelling, and spending quality time with my family.

What Our past FDs say about our practice: "My time as an FD at Poynters Road Dental Practice allowed me to make a smooth transition from an undergraduate to associate. The staff, who regularly work with the FD, were very experienced and were familiar with the trials and tribulations for a newly qualified dentist. I was able to hone my skills on a number of procedures due to the wide patient base that attended during my time. With ample clinical freedom, general dentistry became second nature and towards the end of the year I was able to experience formulating larger treatment plans. Samir provided me with all the support I needed for this and much more, and it was a pleasure to complete my training at this practice."

I qualified as a dentist in 2014 and have since developed my career across a range of clinical and educational roles within dentistry. Following completion of Foundation Training, I worked as a Dental Core Trainee before progressing into General Dental Practice. I later worked as a Dental Officer and currently hold the position of Senior Dental Officer, providing care for a diverse range of patients with varying clinical and additional support needs.

Throughout my career, I have developed extensive experience in patient management, communication, multidisciplinary working, and clinical leadership. Working across different healthcare settings has enabled me to gain a broad understanding of both primary and community dental care, strengthening my ability to support and mentor junior colleagues and trainees. I routinely undertake intravenous (IV) sedation, inhalation sedation (IHS), dental treatment under general anaesthetic (GA), and domiciliary dental care (DOMS). I have also undertaken additional training and developed enhanced skills in sedation and oral surgery through completion of my Diploma in Oral Surgery and Sedation (Dip OS and Sedation). These roles and qualifications have further developed my clinical judgement, patient communication skills, and ability to manage anxious and medically complex patients.

My involvement in postgraduate dental education began formally when I became a Foundation Dentist Trainer from 2018–2020. Since 2020, I have continued supporting Dental Core Trainees (DCTs) through mentorship, clinical supervision, case discussions, and professional development support. I am currently the Educational Supervisor for two Joint Dental Foundation/Core Trainees (JDFCTs), providing structured educational supervision, workplace-based assessments, feedback, and pastoral support.

In addition to my clinical and supervisory roles, I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Education, which has enhanced my knowledge of educational theory, assessment, reflective practice, and trainee-centred learning. I have a keen interest in dental education and am passionate about supporting trainees in developing into confident, safe, and reflective practitioners. I believe my breadth of clinical experience and approachable leadership style enable me to provide effective educational supervision.

I am involved with the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry, contributing to epidemiological research through children’s oral health assessments carried out in schools. This work has strengthened my appreciation of preventive dentistry and public health initiatives.

I have a particular interest in supporting anxious patients and those who benefit from a calm, empathetic approach. Building trust and creating a calm environment are central to my practice, and I actively encourage these values within the wider dental team.

I qualified from Kings College London in 2009 with merit. Since then i did my DFT over 2 years, split between general practice and as an Senior House officer (SHO) at Guys Hospital within the Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine and Paediatric dentistry departments.
Following this, i went to Leeds General Infirmary and did another SHO post within Oral surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery. I found working within the hospital setting to be extremely rewarding exposing me to the more complex, advanced treatment needs. This also gave me the opportunity to be actively involved with teaching and supervising the final year dental students.

From 2012, i have exclusively worked in general practice within both private and NHS settings. I have really enjoyed working in practice, and feel very passionately about being able to see the same patients grow alongside me as i progress though my dental career. I have a particular interest in restorative treatments eg. crown work and root canal treatments and am fully supportive of furthering one's skillset through post graduate courses. I have completed the year long Aspire Restorative Course and Advanced Endodontic course led by Richard, Raheem and Vishal, as well as more recently doing the Attiq Rahman Crown course, and the Mini Smile Makeover with Dipesh Palmer. These have been a wonderful way to consolidate and upskill my existing clinical skills and stay up to date with the latest techniques/materials.

Outside of clinical work, i am really passionate about teaching. I have really enjoyed working as a tutor/examiner for the ORE OSCE exams at the Royal College of Surgeons for the last few years. This has involved not only demonstrating the practical skills involved in general practice but also leading small group tutorials whereby we can discuss cases/topics to help prepare for the ORE exams. It's been a really fulfilling experience being able to mentor the foreign dentists as they try to kickstart their dental career in the UK.

When i am not working, i love spending time and socialising with my friends and family. My 3 children help me to stay active and fit, and I have most recently found a new love for Padel!

Kiran Jutla BDS
GDC Number: 85539

I qualified from Birmingham Dental School in 2005 and kicked off my career with Foundation Training right here at De-ientes. I loved my time so much that I never left! I stayed on as an associate and, by 2011, took on the role of joint Educational Supervisor—a journey that’s been rewarding ever since. While I enjoy many aspects of dentistry, I have a particular passion for crowns, veneers, composite restorations, and teeth whitening. One of the most fulfilling parts of my work is helping nervous patients feel comfortable and confident in the chair. No two days at De-ientes are ever the same, and that’s what makes it exciting—the fantastic team and wonderful patients create a positive and dynamic environment that I genuinely love.

Beyond dentistry, I keep busy with charity work, traveling, and sometimes even combining the two. I have a knack for exploring new interests, which led me to earn a certificate in Interior Design. When I’m unwinding, you’ll find me spending time with friends or diving into creative pursuits like baking or painting.
