Dr Aram Navai is an Endodontist with over 10 years of experience in general practice and complex hospital dentistry. He takes pride in enhancing the lives of his patients and uses a state-of-the-art microscope and materials to carry out root canal treatments at Orthosmile.

Being able to use specialist techniques and cutting-edge technology to relieve patients from pain (and allow them to keep teeth they would otherwise lose) is such a rewarding process. He is grateful that so many dentists continue to refer complex and challenging cases to him.

Aram originally qualified from the King’s College London Dental Institute in 2009 and was awarded membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2011.

His previous positions include a year as a Senior House Officer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in London, where he gained experience in complex surgeries including management of facial lacerations, wisdom tooth surgery and assisting in major cancer and trauma surgeries.

Aram is one of the very few dentists who was awarded a specialist training position in Endodontics at the prestigious Guy’s and King’s College Dental Institute where he successfully completed four years of advanced training and passed all examinations with distinction.

Aram was also awarded the ‘Membership in Endodontics’ by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, which is recognised as the highest qualification in the field.

Dr Navai is now a part-time Specialist Clinical Teacher and lecturer in Endodontology at Guy’s Hospital and King’s College London where he teaches and supervises both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

He accepts referrals for a range of endodontic procedures including cases with complex anatomy and those which have been previously treated and failed.

A note to referring colleagues:

“I believe endodontics and restorative dentistry are not separate from one another. The best time to place a core restoration is straight after root canal treatment in order to provide an optimal postoperative seal in aseptic conditions. Unless otherwise instructed, I will always place a bonded core before returning your patient to you for the definitive cuspal coverage restoration”.
