(Bachelor of Dental Surgery - Peninsula Dental School, Restorative Dental Practice (MSc) - Eastman Dental Institute, UCL (Current)
Hello, my name is Dhilan.
I qualified from Peninsula Dental School in 2021, completing my training across Devon and Cornwall. During my undergraduate studies, I was involved in several community-based projects, working closely with Derriford Dental Hospital, as well as local schools and care homes. This gave me valuable experience treating a wide range of patients with varying dental needs.
After graduating, I began my dental career at Alton Dental, where I completed my foundation training. Following this, I was invited to join the team at Market Square as an associate. Working alongside a talented and compassionate group of clinicians allows us to provide high-quality, comprehensive care for all of our patients.
My main clinical interests are Restorative Dentistry and Oral Surgery, with a strong focus on maintaining natural teeth wherever possible and providing conservative solutions to restore function, aesthetics, and long-term oral health. In 2024, I was accepted onto the Postgraduate Diploma in Restorative Dentistry at the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute, UCL. Over the two-year programme, I received extensive theoretical and clinical training from world-renowned specialists, which has enabled me to manage more complex dental cases with confidence in clinical practice. I completed the course in December 2025, achieving a distinction in both years and being awarded the academic prize for Clinical Excellence for the highest overall grade.
I am highly motivated to provide a high standard of holistic care and believe that everyone should feel confident in their smile and overall dental health.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy visiting new restaurants in and around London, where I grew up, watching Formula 1, and travelling to experience different cultures.
