Meet the team

Ali completed his BDS from the University of Liverpool in 2016. Soon after he was also awarded the MFDS diploma from the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh. He has had experience in delivering both private and NHS dentistry for a number of years before focusing in field of dental implants. He has a keen interest in the field of cosmetic and implant dentistry which he further honed in on by successfully completing a Masters in Clinical Implantology (MSc Merit).

He is a hardworking and driven dentist who is passionate about providing gold standard treatment in a caring and safe environment by striving to put his patient's comfort and ease at the forefront of his care.

He is also a registered provider of Invisalign and Clear Correct aligners. He is therefore able to offer patients options to help them regain that lost confidence in their smile in a relatively painless and non-invasive manner.

He has experience in treating a wide cohort of patients, ranging from different backgrounds and age groups. However, being somewhat of an ‘old soul’ he has a particular affinity for elderly patients whom he gels with a great deal and often picks up pearls of wisdom from them along the way! Whether it is building a rapport with them during routine dental check-ups or greatly improving their quality of life by restoring their smile and lost function by offering various denture options or surgical treatment, he finds this work greatly rewarding and this often forms his ‘why’.

Outside of dentistry Ali thoroughly enjoys videography and travelling. He has a large collection of gadgets which he enjoys using to capture beautiful landscape videos, particularly whilst exploring new destinations and cultures abroad.
