Raj qualified from Sheffield Dental School with Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in 1992. He then completed his Vocational Training in General Dental Practice.

On completion of his Vocational Training, Raj continued to develop his skills by working in both NHS and Private General Dental Practice. Over the years Raj’s experience in General Dentistry instigated his interest in full mouth restoration and reconstruction, leading him to later develop skills in Orthodontics (braces), Dental Occlusion (how teeth bite together), Dental Implant Surgery and Cosmetic Dental Surgery.

To advance his surgical skills Raj worked in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Dundee Dental Hospital; where he gained his Fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (FDSRCS) in 1998 from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. This involved working in the Accident and Emergency Department, treating complex facial injuries, in-patient management of trauma cases and complex facial surgery and cosmetic surgery. Surgical extractions under local anaesthesia, with or without intra-venous sedation, and under general anaesthesia were also undertaken, with regular clinics in out-patient general anaesthesia for extractions for children. There was also an element of teaching the under graduate clinics in minor oral surgery.

After leaving Dundee, to broadened his dental knowledge, Raj worked at a Specialist Orthodontic Practice in Northampton from 1998-2001 to gain experience in orthodontics. Raj then worked in a Specialist Orthodontic Practice in Leicester for over 5years and has accrued over 15years of orthodontic experience using conventional and cosmetic fixed/removable orthodontic appliances, functional appliances, lingual appliances (Incognito) and Invisalign.

He also worked at The Dental Implant Centre at Lavender Road Dental Practice, which gave him the opportunity to work in their specialist implant centre. Raj has been placing dental implants since 2004 and gained experience in all aspects of dental implant surgery from simple placement to complex grafting cases involving block bone grafts, sinus lifts, immediate placement and loading of full arch cases and using techniques such as ridge expansion/distraction in low bone volume cases. Raj completed his training in the UK, USA, and Europe.

Raj has extensive experience in oral surgery and has also been providing dental treatment under sedation since 1998 both in a hospital and a practice environment.

Raj was involved as a trainer at the Implant Education Centre in Leicester from 2009-2011. In 2012 Raj completed a certificate course in Dental Mentoring with the FGDP and is now involved in training and mentoring fellow dentists in Advanced Dentistry with emphasis on Dental Implants. To date he has been involved in training over 20 dentists on a one to one basis and is currently a visiting trainer to over 12 practices. He is an approved mentor for sedation and implant surgery.

His continued focus on full mouth reconstruction and restoration which means that patients interested in implant surgery, can take comfort in the fact that a full array of options will be presented to them alongside implant surgery to gain the best possible results.
