Meet Sunie
Sunie graduated from Bart’s and the London Dental school in 2017, achieving distinction in years 1, 2, 3 & 5, as well as being awarded the prestigious Human Health & Disease Prize.
Sunie thoroughly enjoyed his time studying in the heart of London and regularly keeps up to date with the latest advancements within the world of dentistry, with a view to providing the most streamlined treatment for his patients.
Sunie has worked as an associate dentist for many years and has undertaken a hospital post as a Senior House Officer in oral & maxillofacial surgery. He has gained extensive experience in the provision of high-quality general dental care, surgical dentistry, management of complex dental emergencies and oral diseases.
Sunie completed his specialty training in Prosthodontics at Guy’s Hospital in London, for which he is now working as a speciality dentist. He provides complex multi-disciplinary restorative care for patients there. He has gained membership in Prosthodontics with the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and is a GDC registered specialist in Prosthodontics.
He is known by his patients for having a meticulous, gentle, and caring approach to their care. Sunie prides himself in providing evidence-based, high-quality, and ethical dental care with his patient’s best interests as his top priority.
Outside of work, Sunie enjoys swimming, cross-fit, cooking, and undertaking regular voluntary work, including a period where he spent 6 weeks at a local dental hospital in Tanzania.
Sunie joined the Pallant team in May 2024, and is very keen to start taking prosthodontic and restorative referrals from both patients and dentists directly.
1) Implants
If you are looking for a permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants could be the answer. At Pallant Orthodontics, we provide durable implants to help you restore your smile to its former glory. If you have a missing tooth or need to have a tooth pulled, a dental implant could be a good option for you. You simply need to have the proper jaw bone density and gum health to support your new implant.
During your consultation, we will let you know if an implant is the best solution for your smile.
Dental implants are used to permanently replace missing or damaged teeth. Instead of attaching to neighbouring teeth like a dental bridge, implants are fused directly into your jawbone for a sturdy, long-lasting fit.
As easy as 1,2,3…
1. Placement
During your first implant appointment, we will place you under anaesthesia so we can surgically insert a metal implant into your jawbone. This process is very quick, and you won’t need any downtime. You’ll just need to give your jaw some time to heal and stabilise the implant.
2. Abutment Installation
Once the implant has fully healed (usually after 3 to 6 months), we will schedule another appointment to install a post called an abutment into your implant.
3. Restoration
At your final appointment, we will secure your custom crown to your implant so that you will have a beautiful, full smile again!
2) Dental Bridges
A dental bridge uses crowns or filler teeth to fill in the gap left by one or more missing teeth. If you don’t use a dental bridge, your nearby teeth can move into the empty space left by your missing ones and create bite problems.
3) Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is custom-made for your smile. The crown is placed over a tooth to strengthen it or to enhance its colour or shape.
4) Dentures
Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth and can be used for example, to replace two or three teeth which are sat side by side, or they can also be used as a full denture, designed to replace the entire upper or lower row of teeth.
Dentures are made of metal or plastic acrylic, and can be carefully coloured to match your existing teeth. Dentures are custom-fit to ensure functionality. Dentures have the added benefit in that they offer replacement support to cheeks, lips, and tongue which restores the wearer’s former appearance and aids in clear speech.
