Dr Rahul Kalia qualified as a dentist with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Birmingham in 2019. He also intercalated at King’s College London to graduate with a first class Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Health Care Management. Rahul joined us at Crook Log Dental Practice in 2021.…
He has gained extra postgraduate training in general, restorative and aesthetic dentistry, taught by world-renowned Dr Christopher Orr. Rahul has special skills in treating even the most nervous of patients who haven’t been to a dentist in many years. He provides Invisalign treatment to straighten teeth. As an early adopter of digital dentistry, he uses photography and his Trios digital scanner to take 3D digital scans of his patients’ teeth. These can be used as a visual tool to communicate with his patients, monitor changes over time and saves needing to take uncomfortable traditional moulds of the teeth.
In Aesthetic dentistry, Rahul has carried out extra training to be able to provide best results for composite edge bonding and composite veneers. He is also mentored personally by Dr Sam Jethwa – President-elect of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, one of UK’s leading cosmetic dentists and provider of porcelain veneers. Rahul enjoys providing aesthetic results in a minimally-invasive, natural-looking, functionally-best way to provide long-lasting results. He ensures he is not just thinking about your teeth now but how they will be in decades to come. He is completing a postgraduate Diploma in Occlusion and Porcelain Veneers to pursue this passion and be able to offer the best aesthetic results possible to his patients.
Over the last few years, Rahul has published multiple articles in renowned journals, including the British Dental Journal. He has presented at conferences, including at the University of Melbourne. He has also been a representative of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Rahul was awarded the NHS Edward Jenner Award in Leadership Foundation in 2020.
Outside of dentistry, Rahul enjoys exploring new places with his camera and reading. You can view some of his photography shots on Instagram at @rahul.pixels. Cricket, tennis and Formula 1 are his favourite sports. Rahul has engaged in many volunteering programmes, both local and abroad. Running, meditation, yoga and going to the gym allows him to maintain his own wellbeing.
