Founder Dr. Samintharaj Kumar is a Fellow and Lecturer for the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He lectures nationally and regionally on advanced implant dentistry. Dr. Kumar previously practiced in both hospital and private settings in the United Kingdom.

Dental Implantology and Restorative Care

The clinic specializes in permanent tooth replacement using conventional and zygomatic implants. Zygomatic implants anchor to the cheekbone, so they work for patients with severe bone loss. Surgeons use the All-on-4 protocol for full-arch restoration – often called "Teeth In a Day."

Dr. Samintharaj Kumar serves as a key opinion representative for Nobel Biocare. This partnership means the clinic uses widely recognized implant systems. The dental team also performs several restorative and surgical procedures:

• Guided bone regeneration (GBR)
• Sinus lifts and bone grafting
• Custom crowns, bridges, and dentures
• Full-mouth digital smile design

Restorative work includes in-house CAD/CAM milling for inlays and onlays. Surgeons use 3D printing to create surgical stents that guide precise implant placement.

Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery

Orthodontic options include traditional fixed braces and Damon braces, which use a slide mechanism. The clinic also provides Invisalign clear aligners. Specialists use intraoral scanners for digital impressions, replacing traditional physical molds.

The maxillofacial department treats functional and structural jaw issues through specialized surgeries:

• Mandibular and bimaxillary osteotomy for jaw irregularities
• Jaw cyst removal and enucleation
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery
• Wisdom tooth extraction

Specialists also provide pediatric care, including tongue-tie surgery and Myobrace therapy. This pre-orthodontic treatment helps correct poor oral habits in growing children.

Diagnostics and AI Technology

The group uses scanO air, an AI-powered oral health screening aid. This unit screens visible tooth surfaces in minutes without contact. It generates a report without radiation or placing instruments in the mouth.

Advanced diagnostic equipment supports precise treatment planning across all 10 branches:

• Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for 3D jaw imaging
• T-Scan bite analysis for functional assessment
• Panoramic (OPG) and periapical X-rays
• iTero and 3Shape intraoral digital scanners

Sedation options help nervous patients during invasive procedures. The clinic also runs an emergency dentistry service for acute pain or swelling.

Services for International Patients

Nuffield Dental treats international patients from the UK, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. A dedicated liaison team coordinates appointments and reviews diagnostics before patients arrive. The group also offers 15-minute virtual consultations for initial assessments.
