Diven
GDC 284169
I have recently graduated from Cardiff Dental School in 2019 with Honours degree. I joined Somers Square Dental Practice last year and I am thoroughly enjoying being part of the fantastic team in Halesowen.
I strive to be the best dentist possible by enhancing my CPD and building a comprehensive skill-set in all aspects of dentistry. I particularly have an interest in cosmetic & restorative dentistry and something that drives me is the satisfaction of being able to transform a patient’s smile to bring out their self-confidence.
There are multiple courses I am keen to go on this year related to this and one of my goals is to complete a postgraduate restorative course in the near future.
Composite bonding and white restorations are one of my favourite treatments to undertake. One of my other main interests is oral surgery and I have recently taken a particular interest into implant surgery.
Patient care and building rapport is extremely important to me. My approach to patient care is being empathetic and receptive, building rapport and trust with effective communication to then provide high quality and ethical dentistry.
In my free time you will mostly find me either playing sports or taking part in group activities with friends.
