Overseas-trained dentist with an MSc in Clinical Dentistry (Periodontics), postgraduate education in clinical periodontology, and extensive experience in periodontal assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and management of complex periodontal cases. Experienced in non-surgical periodontal therapy, periodontal surgical procedures, crown lengthening, soft- and hard-tissue management, implant-related periodontal care and multidisciplinary treatment planning. My clinical work has included managing patients with systemic conditions, complex oral-health needs and disability-related care requirements, working collaboratively with surgical, anaesthetic and restorative teams.

I also have substantial experience teaching dentists and mentoring clinicians in periodontal diagnosis, case selection, implant planning, risk assessment and complication management. LDS Part 3 result expected in July. Subject to successful completion, I will apply immediately for full GDC registration and am seeking a part-time private role as a Dentist with a Special Interest in Periodontics and Implant-Related Care.
