A Personal Note From Pratik....
My Background & Experience
I graduated in Dentistry with First Class Honours from Cardiff University in 2009 before completing Senior House Officer jobs in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Frenchay Hospital (Bristol) and Paediatric Dentistry at the prestigious Eastman Dental Hospital (London).
During this time, I was awarded Membership to the Joint Dental Faculties by the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Since 2012, I have worked in general dental practice whilst focusing my postgraduate training in Implant Dentistry.
I passed my Masters in Dental Implantology with Distinction from Bristol University and am qualified to provide Conscious Sedation. Even for the most anxious patients, offering sedation makes dentistry simple and comfortable. I have completed further postgraduate Aesthetic and Restorative Training with Basil Mizrahi, a world-renowned dentist, to offer more advanced and comprehensive prosthetic dentistry and a certificate in complex gum treatments.
I enjoy teaching and mentoring colleagues in the field of implant dentistry. This is primarily as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer for the Bristol University Masters in Dental Implantology but also through my role as an International Team for Implantology (ITI) Fellow, where I serve as a Study Club Director and Nurse Coordinator to help teach my colleagues new to implantology.
