Moseley
Dentist, Birmingham

Often referred to as ‘the other Dr Parmar’, Dipesh is making his own, and most considerable, impact in the world of dentistry. Having qualified from the University of Birmingham, banking prizes in Restorative, Prosthetic, Conservative and Aesthetic dentistry, Dipesh has committed to the pursuit of excellence and is now often invited to speak and educate at some of the worlds most prestigious dental conferences.

With a principle interest in cosmetic, advanced restorative and orthodontic dentistry, Dipesh has won on multiple occasions at the UK Aesthetic Dentistry Awards and lectures internationally (Toronto, New Zealand, Poland, Middle East, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago) on minimally invasive smile enhancement techniques and makeovers. He has co-authored several peer-reviewed dental articles and is currently completing his Masters degrees in both Restorative Dentistry and Orthodontic Dentistry.

Seen by the team, and many of the patients, as the heart of the practice, Nisha is very much a ‘people’s person’ and loves nothing more than discovering what it is that makes us tick, where the strengths are, and how to create a team that will uphold the values and philosophies central to creating a warm welcome for every patient.

With a Bachelors in Business Nisha is brilliantly qualified as Practice Manager. Although she recognises the need for qualifications, she is far more concerned with the attitude of each team member, explaining “we hire on attitude as skills can be taught”.

Outside of the surgery Nisha is Mother to two small children, and like all Mums of young children has the organisational skills of a battalion officer, enjoys the delights of Pixar and Walt Disney movies, is word perfect with the songs from Frozen, and is delighted by their refreshingly uncomplicated view on life. In the increasingly rare moments of free-time Nisha loves feel-good movies, inspirational autobiographies, and her fierce joy – singing in the band with husband Manoj, and brother-in-law Dipesh.

Chirag or “Chiggs” as he is commonly known, graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2014. As a student he won an array of awards related to his interests in dentistry which restores a patient’s ability to eat, whilst looking aesthetically beautiful.

Realising the positive impact he could have on his community through artistry, education and quality dentistry, Chiggs sought additional training from the very best mentors in the UK. After completing his foundation year in Heswall, he moved back to his family home in Wolverhampton for his mum’s good food, and to work as a Senior House Officer at Birmingham community services and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Here, he diversified his skills, assisting patients with additional needs, anxiety, trauma and cancer.

His love for the city of Liverpool meant that very soon, he was back in the North-west, where he perfected the art of creating confident smiles. Chiggs has worked in high-level private practice ever since and has completed hundreds of smile-makeovers using techniques which mean as much natural tooth-tissue is preserved.

Chiggs achieves confident smiles in a minimally-invasive way using treatments such as tooth-straightening, whitening, composite bonding and porcelain veneers. Often he talks about his “ABC” technique which means “Alignment, Bleach and Composite bond”.

His dedication to his community and quality craftmanship was recognised at the Private Dentistry Awards, where he won “Best Young Dentist Northwest 2022”. He loved the recognition he received on the night, but says he loved the pride on his parent’s face, and dancing so much more. He has now moved back to the midlands to be closer to his parents, and to share the knowledge and skills he has crafted over the last 10 years.

Chiggs ensures he stays on top of the very latest techniques to improve the quality of the care he provides his patients, and is currently in his final year of a Master’s degree at the King’s College London studying Smile rehabilitation using Crowns, Bridges, Veneers, Composite, Implants and Dentures.

Outside of dentistry Chiggs has a passion for cooking and wishes to write a cookbook in honour of his Mum’s recipes some day. You can learn more about Chiggs on Instagram @dr.chiggs (his instagram reels are always showing F1, travel, teeth, kittens, food and photography!).
