THE TEAM

Dentistry is not just work for Dr Ali but also his passion. Dentistry combines two of his most favourite interests; human biology and basic principles of civil engineering (at a micro level). His approach with patients is to discuss all the possible treatment options and help prioritise a treatment plan to reach their oral health goals. Dr Ali dedicated a large part of his career in training and developing expertise in several specialised areas of dentistry including dental implants, smile design and cosmetic dentistry.
