Geography

I have been associated with Chrysalis Dental Practice, Formerly Putnoe Dental Practice since 1997. Prior to graduating with my Dental Qualification, I graduated with A Bsc(hons)from Sunderland University. After graduatin From Kings College Dental School, I undertook my vocational training year with Dr Patel I stayed with him until 2004, and also decided to become a vocational trainer, helping newly qualified dentists to become confident in Dentistry.

I decided to return to London in 2004 to open up my own practice, which I completely renovated and continued my work as a vocational trainer with the London Deanery.  The Practice grew rapidly and I managed to continue with my professional development undertaking courses in implant placement which included a 2 week residency in Brazil, and courses in smile design and smile lifts.

Prior to Purchasing my own practice I was involved in running and setting up a sedation clinic for anxious /nervous patients at a private practice in Cheam Surrey.

Having a good understanding of the physiological mechanisms of the body helps in negotiating the best treatment plans in dentistry and how prescribing certain drugs may be contraindicated for specific individuals.

A good knowledge in dental law allows one to avoid major pitfalls in Dentistry and maintain an ethical standard of treatment for all patients.

I am currently studying for an Msc in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry which will hopefully provide a good framework for current theories and practical knowledge in treating and managing all of my patients.
