AMINA AFIFI ARAFA (GDC: 302609)

London

Summary

I graduated with a BDS from the University of Birmingham in 2022 and completed my foundation training in Shropshire, where I gained extensive experience across all aspects of primary care dentistry. I am now practising as an associate in a busy mixed NHS/private, multi-specialist practice in London, where I provide comprehensive care to a diverse and high-needs patient base. This role has enabled me to manage a wide variety of complex clinical situations with confidence and to strengthen my skills across the full scope of general dentistry.

I have developed a particular interest in endodontics and recently commenced an MSc in Endodontics at the University of Birmingham. I am committed to continuous professional development, having successfully completed Part 1 of the MFDS. During my foundation training, I was also selected as the West Midlands representative in the regional Milestone Three case competition.

I am now seeking to transition into private dentistry, where I can dedicate more time to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and further develop my skills within a practice committed to clinical excellence.
