Dental Studio – Glasgow Croftfoot Dental Surgery

Dr Sheraz Shafiq graduated from Glasgow Dental Hospital in 2003. This was followed on by General Professional Training (GPT) as a Senior House Officer in Oral Surgery at Glasgow Dental Hospital where I developed superb surgical skills, and a Senior House Officer at Maxillo Facial Department in Southern General Hospital. I was also a Community Dentist for Lanarkshire where I underwent Sedation Training along with working with people who have special needs. I completed my membership exam in 2005 for Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow. I then undertook a 2 year course in Restorative Dentistry at Royal College of Surgeons England. I have since gone on to complete The Ultimate Implant Year Course and have travelled to different countries to gain further knowledge in Implant Dentistry including an Advance Implant Course in South Africa and several Advanced Implant Aesthetic Courses in London to mention a few. I have worked and trained with a few of Scotland’s excellent Implantologists. I have become a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Glasgow (RCPSG), Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP), British Dental Association (BDA) and Association of Dental Implantology UK (ADI).  I have a special interest in Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry. I have also completed my Certification in CFAST and Fast Braces course allowing me to provide a 6 months smile technique to patient looking to straightening their teeth, quickly and efficiently with great results. With the great results many of my associates have completed this course and have completed many cases. I have recently been involved in the revolutionary DSD (Digital Smile Design), blending digital techniques with conventional smile designs. I undertook this training course in New York City, allowing me to design perfect smiles which are in harmony with the patient’s facial profile. I provide a warm, friendly welcome to all patients and work colleagues at the practice all of whom are impressed by the amazing results I achieve throughout.

My name is Dr Peter J Loughran, I graduated fro­m Dundee Dental Hosp­ital and School in 20­12, which was then the Number 1 Dental School in the UK. I completed my­ Vocational Training ­in a busy Town Centre Practice in East Kilbride, there I was performin­g a full range of NHS­ Dental Treatments and learning from 2 Senior Dentists with 60 years’ experience between them who train students in Glasgow Dental School in Dentures and Braces. After vo­cational training I spent the next 2years between 2 large Practices in Glasgow and in Falkirk learning from a large number of very experienced Dentists and building a great knowledge of all aspects of the needs of patients from the routine to anxious patients, from full mouth reconstructions for those who have long avoided treatment to aesthetic crowns, bridges and veneers. Outside of the surgery I can be found enjoying the outdoors, at live music events or working towards my Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
