City Dental

As soon as you meet Dr. Gakhal all your dental anxieties will be put at ease, his relaxed and informal manner have gained him a reputation in the Leeds area for being the dentist for nervous patients. Both adults and children alike have praised his gentle manner and the large number of new patients that come to City Dental through word of mouth is a testament to his level of care and high quality dentistry. He will listen to your needs and concerns, understand what you want and then give you a professional opinion advising you on all the possible treatment options.

Dr. Gakhal continually strives for perfection and has undertaken extensive postgraduate studies in dental implantology, restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. His ongoing post-graduate education ensures that he is up to date with the latest advances in dental techniques, materials and technology. More recently Dr. Gakhal completed a year long course in implantology at Trafford Hospital, Manchester enabling him to carry out more advanced implant procedures. In recent years Dr Gakhal has undertaken extensive training in cosmetic orthodontic treatments.

After graduating from Ain Shams University in Egypt in 2000 with an honours degree, restorative dentistry has been my area of interest as I enjoy root canal treatments and cosmetic dentistry including crowns, bridges, veneers and tooth whitening.

By completing one-years training in different dental hospitals in Egypt, I decided to move to Denmark where I gained lots of experience through working in different practices throughout the country. During my stay in Denmark I attended several courses to keep myself updated with any new techniques in cosmetic dentistry.

In 2005 I moved to the UK seeking knowledge and professional experience. Having worked here for more than three years, I enjoy treating patients with different levels of anxiety and from different cultural backgrounds. I have been praised both by my professors and patients for my ability to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere to relieve any nervousness.

In order to always achieve my goal in providing the best treatment based upon the best knowledge and experience; I’m currently undertaking the Diploma of Membership of The Joint Dental Faculties of The Royal College of Surgeons in England (MJDF RCS).

Moreover, I completed a one year course in Implant Dentistry at The Eastman Dental Institute in London and I am now fully qualified to place and restore dental implants.

I joined City Dental as a part time associate in September 2008. For the rest of the week I am attending intensive training at Leeds Dental Institute in order to complete a masters degree in restorative dentistry. This will help me to deliver more reliable evidence based treatments to my patients.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and going to the gym.

Hi, I’m Kirsty. I am a qualified dental nurse with 5 years experience. I really enjoy my job and working with patients. I always have a hand to hold if you are nervous. I have a special interest in orthodontics and am starting a post qualification course in this area in May.

Out of work love walking my dog and spending time with my friends and family.
