The Educational Supervisors: Hardeep Matharu qualified from Guys Hospital in 1997 and completed his Vocational Training in 1998 through the Oxford Deanery. In order to meet the demands of patients he decided to embark on a course to improve his dental knowledge and skills which led to him gaining Master in Clinical Dentistry (Prosthodontics) in 2008 from GKT. As Hardeep's dental interests have broadened he has continued his personal development by completing PGCert in Implant Dentistry and PGCert in Dental Education. The latter qualification allows an appreciation of how to delivery effective training in this valuable year. Away from dentistry Hardeep enjoys spending quality time with my family whether it be through sporting or leisure activities or simply eating out.
The Practice: Maple Dental Clinic is looking forward to another anniversary this year, but the practice has been running for over 30 years. Some patient records date back to the early 1970's! However, we are a modern dental clinic with five treatment rooms, separate decontamination room, pleasant surroundings, car parking and up to date equipment including computerised administration, digital radiographs and intraoral cameras. All the dentists have complete clinical freedom to treat patients as required and have the support of each other if treatment plans are more complex. .We are also a referral centre for minor oral surgery services which allows local practitioners to refer their difficult cases to our visiting Specialist Oral Surgeon The Clinic runs efficiently with a Practice Manager and a mix of qualified as well experienced dental nurses.
The Area: Maple Dental Clinic is located in the center of Luton town; minutes from the Arndale shopping centre, M1 and train station. Luton is a hugely diverse town with a population which reflects all cultural and social economic backgrounds; providing a tremendous range of patients. Luton will therefore present any prospective dentist with a steep learning curve to enhance their dental education and skills.
