Dentistry is my life
I completed a surgical degree in 1961 and my postgraduate qualification in dental radiology in 1964, both back ‘home’ in India. I moved to the UK in October 1966 and qualified here as a dental surgeon and earned the Amalgamated Dental Award from the Faculty of Dental Surgery, Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1985.
Dentistry is my life, it’s my hobby, my vocation, and my passion. I’ve owned the practice for 48 years and during that time many patients have become friends — they always come first.
Outside of work I enjoy photography and live in Dulwich.

A born and bred dentist
Dentistry has always been a huge part of my life, in fact I was born and bred in the flat above our surgery in Crystal Palace where my father Lalit was practising as a dentist.
I followed him into the profession and trained at dental school at Guy’s Hospital where I was Student President, and I am one of only a few dentists in the country to complete a Master’s Degree in Dentistry at the prestigious Eastman Dental Hospital in London.
I’m extremely proud of the long-term relationships that I’ve built up with my patients over the past 25 years and the high-quality work that my team of dentists and hygienists do at our patient-centred practice in Gipsy Hill.
Outside of my own work, I act as a mentor for other dentists and am married with two grown-up children. I also love playing golf.

Making your perfect smile as easy as ABC
I qualified from Kings College London in 2011 and since then have developed a great interest in aesthetic dentistry. Having completed one of the most prestigious aesthetic courses in the country — led by Dr Basil Mizrahi in 2018 — I carried out many different types of cosmetic cases such as composite build ups (reshaping the teeth with white fillings) veneers, bridges and crowns.
I’m also a certified Invisalign Go provider, which means I am able to offer my patients the confident smile that they deserve through minimally invasive dentistry, something we call ‘the famous ABC’: aligning the teeth straight, bleach them to make them white and bond them with composite fillings to beautify the teeth.
I’m always enhancing my skills and knowledge, and the latest step in my journey is to take a course in sedation so my anxious patients can receive treatment in their most relaxed state.
When I’m not at work my two children keep me very busy, but I do also try to find time to bake and read. I am also bilingual and speak English and Chinese.
