BDS, MFDS RCS, MCLin Dent, MRD RCS
I am the founder and clinical director of Thames Dental & Facial Care, a dental and facial aesthetic practice located in Thames Ditton, Surrey.
My qualifications
I graduated from Guy’s King’s and St Thomas’ Dental School in 2002 and gained my specialty is fixed and removable prosthodontics a few years later. I have been in specialist practice since 2009, looking after general dental patients of all ages but also patients with more complex dental needs such as missing teeth or extensive tooth surface loss and sensitivity. My interest in the human body and the strong link between our face and body, lead me to train in facial aesthetics which I have incorporated in my clinical practice for more that 10 years now. I completed a certification in cosmetic dermatology which I have found very useful and I am currently going deeper into the field of nutrition and health. The link between our oral heath, skin as well as gut is so strong that my approach to dentistry but also anti-ageing and skin treatments is now very holistic, incorporating health advice as well as supplementation which is extremely beneficial.
My approach
You can understand a lot about a patient’s wellbeing by taking a thorough history and listening carefully to them but also by checking their oral health. My dental background has helped a lot in my success in aesthetic medicine and helping patients with our advice about their nutrition and general habits. In my clinical practice, I help multiple patients daily with an evidence-based approach to health and I am so happy that I am able to prevent disease and promote health across all ages. I would love to be able to make a difference to my patients’ wellbeing in the long run.
My favourite Zooki
I love all the products but I particularly like the collagen which my patients love as well, giving me great feedback on how it helps their skin within only a few days. I also like the Turmeric which has a great taste and the Vitamin C which I have also incorporated into my practice as Vitamin C is essential for our skin and oral health as well.
