The Educational Supervisor: I completed my BDS from India in 2004 and then went on to do a Master's programme in Prosthodontics which i completed in 2008. I have been in practice since then. I was a Professor teaching Prosthodontics to undergraduate and postgraduate students in India before moving to the UK.
I am a "Fellow" of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, USA and also a Diplomate of the Indian Board of Prosthodontics.
I have special interest in Prosthodontics, Esthetics and Implants. I am also an Invisalign provider.
I have delivered countless smiles over the years with the help of veneers, bridges, dental implants, dentures & restorations and would like to pass my knowledge and experience onto fresh young minds.
Outside of dentistry I like to spend time with my family and enjoy playing Cricket, Table Tennis and Tennis.
