Principle Dentist Information

Dr Nick Dhaliwal has worked for the NHS England and Scotland in a variety of roles for over a decade, helping the most vulnerable and dentally neglected patients. I have also been an educational supervisor with the Oxford Deanery, mentoring newly qualified dentist starting their careers in dentistry.
I take pride in helping patients achieve natural looking smiles and helping them gain a renewed sense of confidence in their smile. This has been from subtle changes to full mouth rehabilitation cases. In order to provide this level of care I have had and still am undertaking continual postgraduate study and training from the best dentists from around the world.
