I graduated dentistry from Baghdad, Iraq in 1996. I then immigrated to the UK and finished my International qualifying exams (IQE) in 2006 so I could practice dentistry here. I have always been passionate and ambitious about my career in dentistry and so continued to take further exams to increase my knowledge.  In 2010 I completed further exams to become a member of the faculty of dental surgeons (MFDS) from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. Following this I also completed a post graduate diploma from Cardiff University, which has also helped me to develop and expand my knowledge as a practitioner. During this time, I have found my passion lies within implant dentistry and am looking to complete a masters in implantology to build on the learning I have already completed in this field. I am happily married and have 4 children, three girls and a boy, so not only are my hands full at work – we are quite a busy household too! Not to mention out-numbered by the ladies in my life! I wouldn’t have it any other way. I often get involved in charity work, be it taking part in charity runs or helping at refugee camps, such as the one in Calais, and am humbled by the support of colleagues who have often taken part and helped me with this. We spend more time at work than we do at home, but when you love what you do it doesn’t feel like a job. Helping my patients is what I love and being able to put smiles on their faces brings me great joy.

He has taught oral surgery at the Bristol Dental Hospital and now helps train dentists to restore and place dental implants, so they can provide predictable results for their clients. Paul says, ‘knowledge and the use of up-to-date clinical techniques that are based on predictable results mean great outcomes for our clients, which will stand the test of time’.

I was born in Bucharest, Romania. At the age of 14 I moved to the United States with my family. While in the United States I focused on my education. I received a Bs in Cognitive Science from University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). I then went on to receive an Ms in Biomedical Sciences from Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. I did part of my dental training at one of the best dental schools in the United States, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in Pennsylvania. I then completed my dental degree in the fall of 2010 at one of the best dental schools in Romania, University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila”, Bucharest. This is where I also met my lovely wife, Lorena, who specialised in Oral Surgery.
Throughout my career I have been privileged to work alongside dentists with great experience and I was able to learn from them and implement their teachings in my treatment plans. I enjoy restorative and aesthetic dentistry. I constantly attend postgraduate courses and conferences, which has allowed me to improve my knowledge and skills and meet experts in different fields of dentistry from all over the world.
I always put patients’ needs first. I try to put patients at ease by listening to their concerns and discussing all possible options so that they can make an informed decision regarding the treatment that is right for them. Where appropriate, I strongly believe in conservative and minimally invasive dentistry. This ties in perfectly with Invisalign because the natural dentition can be preserved without any irreversible changes to the teeth. For this reason, I decided to pursue orthodontic training and I became an Invisalign Provider in 2016.
I am very passionate about my work and at the end of the day, I would like all my patients to have a healthy and beautiful smile for life.

I have more than 10 years’ experience in the dental industry. The roots of my career in dentistry can be traced back to Latvia, where I acquired my first education in dentistry and studied in a general medicine programme as well and gained practical skills. Couple of years ago matters of the heart brought me to England, and this place and people charmed me. I really love the UK and I want to continue to grow professionally in this wonderful country.
Constant growth and development is important to me personally and currently I am continuing my studies through Cambridge Academy of Dental Implantology for Msc. In my free time I love to explore new places and culture in the beautiful UK and all around the globe. Spending quality time with my family and friends is very essential for me and it gives me an extra boost in energy for lasting success in my studies and work.

Since then he finished his postgraduate studies also in Budapest and entered a Hungarian specialist register as a Conservative dentist and Prosthodontist in 2017. Miklos completed a postgraduate diploma in dental implantology at Cambridge in 2021. Being passionate about designing and creating highly aesthetic and functional smiles, he soon realised that it is almost impossible to achieve nice natural looking teeth with a stable long term result, without using dental implants. He became interested in dental implantology as a supportive tool to his primer restorative work early in his career, and did his first implantology course in Hungary in 2011. In 2019 he decided to deepen his knowledge in this field and started his studies in Cambridge academy of dental implantology, which he finished with diploma in dental implantology in 2021. Now he is mainly focused on providing dental implants in multiple practices around the country utilizing the comprehensive prosthetic approach from his past restorative experience.
