Dr Shakil Umerji

Specialist Endodontist

Dr Shakil Umerji

I provide specialist endodontic treatment, helping to prevent and treat pain and infection that can put natural teeth at risk.

My role is to save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted. I find it incredibly rewarding to help patients preserve their natural teeth while making treatment as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2015 and have since developed my experience in private practice and hospital-based settings, including working in referral practices since 2019.

I completed a doctoral training programme in Endodontics (DDSc) at the University of Liverpool and passed the Membership in Endodontics (MEndo) examination in 2021. I am listed on the General Dental Council specialist register in Endodontics.

I divide my time between specialist practice and teaching students and specialists in training in my role as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Liverpool.

I take pride in providing a high standard of care using high-quality, evidence-based equipment and materials. All endodontic procedures are completed using a dental operating microscope.
