Noor Sharif Dental Surgeon & Facial Aesthetic Practitioner GDC No. 265554

Dr Noor Sharif BDS (Hons) MFDS RCS (Ed) graduated from Barts& The London School of Medicine and Dentistry with 10 prestigious awards for outstanding clinical and academic achievement . She then went on to be nominated for the esteemed University of London Gold Medal Award. Subsequently, Dr Noor went on to gain a place on the highly competitive North Central London Scheme attached to world renowned Eastman Dental Institute to complete her training. She completed further postgraduate studies and successfully gained accreditation form the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Dr Noor has comprehensive experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has worked at several prestigious institutes including St George’s Hospital. She is accomplished in undertaking complex surgical extractions including wisdom teeth and managing patients presenting with complex medical conditions. Her hospital background has allowed her to be highly trained in managing patients with facial pain conditions ( trigeminal neuralgia, burning mouth syndrome, TMJD) , oral medicine disorders ( recurrent oral ulcers, dry mouth and lichen planus) and those presenting with oral cancer and pre cancerous lesions. Her efforts to continually improve patient care through Audits have been credited at National Conferences and published in the International Journal of Surgery (IJS).

Dr Noor is a highly experienced sedation (a treatment similar to being put to sleep) qualified dentist and gained her sedation qualifications working in Special Care Dentistry for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. In this role she routinely treated patients with the most severe dental anxieties and phobias. She believes the most important thing is to “listen to patients, never to make them feel ashamed or embarrassed, dental phobias are often beyond the control of the patient and it is our job to present them with all of their options and treat them in the most gentle and caring manner”. In this role she managed both children and adults presenting with very complex medical conditions, special needs and severe dental phobias. She also worked at the world renowed John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where she used to provide treatment under general anaesthetic.

Dr Noor is a well known name in the world of dentistry for having achieved such a high standard of clinical dentistry at such an early age. She prides herself on being a general dentist but having completed thousands of hours of additional postgraduate training. This is what enables her to provide a wide range of dental treatments to a very high standards whether it be fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures, Invisalign ( invisible brace teeth straightening) , composite bonding or dental implants. Her favourite cases are the complex full mouth reconstruction/ cosmetic cases and she is one of the small number of dentists in UK expert enough to be able to complete such cases.

“Dentistry is not a job for me, it’s my passion and hobby. Those that know me personally know that I work day and night , whether it be providing care to my patients or keeping myself up to date with the newest and latest courses or journals. I often say to my patients – once I do this treatment on you , we are married. Meaning I will always be available to care for you. That’s what makes Abi Dental so different , we don’t just see you once and that’s it, our patients become part of a big family that we see and catchup with regularly. I pride myself on being thorough and 100% focussed on my patient , if you do come to see me you’ll notice I sometimes run 5-10 minutes late , it’s just because I am so focussed and in the moment with the patient in my chair and I promise to do the same for you.“

Facial Aesthetics

Dr Noor is our clinical lead for facial aesthetics in the practice and has her own brand ‘ Natural by Dr Noor’.

She was trained by the world renowed Dr Rikin Parekh in Harley Street, London.

“I have a special interest in the treating patients aged 40 and above or younger patients looking for a natural/ harmonious rejuvenation.

I am very passionate that facial aesthetic treatments are medical procedures , my previous experience working in head and neck surgery departments in hospitalshas allowed me to gain a sophisticated understanding of facial anatomy as well as how to manage patients with very complex medical histories. For me safety comes above all and I always try to educate my patients that as a priority they should be receiving these treatments from a competent medical professional.

I have a special interest in the ‘ mathematics ‘ of beauty and have studied the ‘golden proportions of beauty’ – these are the proportions that make up the faces that humans universally identify as beautiful. My treatments do not result in patients looking frozen , the aim is to look relaxed, natural and rejuvenated. Nor do I provide any treatments that make patients look overfilled/ puffy e.g the commonly seen ‘ duck’ lips , when you understand anatomy and facial proportion you can provide beautiful, subtle enhancements without anyone being able to tell the patient has had any work done. Expert work should look seamless.

My philosophy is natural, balanced and harmonious results. I treat a wide range of conditions using facial injectables and lasers including forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet, sagging cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds , under developed jaws/ chins. An initial consultation is always required for appropriate treatment planning – I do not believe in a 1 size fits all approach but in treating human beings and individuals.

To complement the above treatments, I have worked closely with dermatologists and am a leading prescriber of obagi medical skincare. I create tailored skincare plans for my patients to address many problems such as lines/ wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation/ sun damage, acne/ acne scarring, rosacea and sensitive/ eczema prone skin. In treating my patients and seeing their results I truly do believe prescription grade skincare provided by an appropriate prescriber is the only way of driving results, over the counter products may feel great as they are putting a layer on top of the skin but do very little to actually change the skin from within.
