Treatments offered

Sharmila developed a special interest in implants and orthodontics during her time in Merthyr Tydfil, and she has been placing implants since 1998. Since then, Sharmila has gained ample experience and places an average of 100 implants a year.

Sharmila’s large skill base enables her to use a full range of modern orthodontic techniques including fixed, functional, and removable appliances. Sharmila is also able to treat under 18s, but only if they do not qualify for NHS requirements or their parents do not want their child to wait on the NHS waiting list. Sharmila is a Straumann implant provider and is happy to receive referrals for orthodontic and implant treatments.
