In this episode, Pav talks about his time at dental school, his early career days and working as an associate. 

He goes on to explain about the extensive training he has undertaken in prosthodontics and his focus on implants that has resulted in him being referred to as ‘The Titani-Nerd’, the Chat GPT of implants and the Wikipedia of Implantology!

He explains what drew him towards this element of dentistry and shares his thoughts on how he thinks the world of implants has progressed.

He goes on to talk about his current clinical work and his role as the CEO of the Academy of Implant Excellence.  He discusses the approach the UK has taken to implants and explains about some of the common hurdles that you come up against when focussing on implants and the methodology used to manage this.
