My name is Shi Karim and I am the Clinical Director at
Cheadle Hulme Dental and Cosmetics. I qualified at the University of Liverpool
in 2003 and since qualifying I have attended many post-graduate courses
worldwide to further my knowledge in the dental field. I have sat and passed
post graduate royal college of surgeon exams and am continually studying,
attending courses and pushing myself to further my knowledge in the dental
field.
My area of expertise is cosmetic dentistry and have helped
numerous patients achieve their dream of a new smile. This is using the most up
to date and technologically advanced treatments available. My preference is
using minimally invasive treatments such as orthodontics and aesthetic
composites but I also have a wealth of experience in placing veneers, crowns
and bridges and implants and this can be seen by the cases in my smile gallery.
I am also renowned for my treatment of nervous patients and
pride myself on good communication to help to relieve any dental phobias that
they may have. This is why I have received the recognition of being dental
phobia certified.
