Shivakar Mehrota
Associate Dentist
GDC no 277771
Shiv qualified from the University of Leeds in 2018 with an integrated Masters degree. He has travelled up and down the country to undergo training in Restorative dentistry. This involves repairing broken teeth or replacing lost ones to improve your smile and function.
During this time he won 1st prize for his research on the Prosthetic Rehabilitation of cleft patients at the British Society of Restorative Dentistry Conference.
Shiv has a keen interest in Endodontics. This involves delicately cleaning grubby teeth with a root canal treatment. Often, his patients comment on his warm nature and how comfortable their experience was, which is something he takes great pride in.
Outside of the dental chair, Shiv is a bit of a Geek as he is often caught reading scientific articles on the weird and wonderful discoveries in modern dentistry.
If he wasn’t a dentist, Shiv claims he could have had a successful career as a stand-up comedian, but this has yet to be verified.
