Our Dentists
Dr Nikhil Sharma
Principal Dentist
BDS (Glasgow)
Principal dentist at Ferry Smile Studios, with a special interest in dental implants, All-on-4 full-arch treatment, Invisalign and composite bonding.
Nikhil is the principal dentist at Ferry Smile Studios. He places the practice's dental implants, from a single missing tooth to a full arch on four implants, and plans and provides Invisalign, composite bonding, veneers and facial aesthetics.
Every implant case starts on the practice's own CT scanner, and the implants go in through a 3D-printed surgical guide made from that plan. Before any smile treatment, patients see what's proposed first, on a digital scan or a trial smile.
