Introduction

Nadia is a Consultant in Rotherham General Hospital and Specialist Orthodontist in Doncaster and Sheffield, who strives to provide the best possible orthodontic treatment for her patients, and believes in making the patient journey a positive experience. She takes time to listen to her patients so she can achieve the desired outcome in simple and complex Orthodontic cases. She is always curious to explore the fantastic new developments that Orthodontics has to offer her patients to ensure they have the best possible care. She is caring and empathetic towards her patients’ needs and always puts her patients at ease.

Education

Since completing Dental School in 2007, Nadia has shown her passion for learning and developing new skills as she embarked on her path to specialise. She gained experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Radiology and Paediatric Dentistry in the early part of her hospital career. The journey to becoming a Specialist and Consultant Orthodontist took Nadia across the Midlands and Yorkshire, gaining a wide range of experience in various hospitals, which shaped her training experience.

She carried out her specialist training in Leeds and gained the Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons England in 2016, alongside undertaking research in autotransplantation of teeth, and passed her MSc with Merit from the University of Leeds. Since 2016, she has built her experience in specialist Orthodontic practice. Further training in Birmingham Dental Hospital to become a Consultant in 2018-2020 led to the Fellowship in Orthodontics. During this final part of training, she enjoyed treating patients needing multidisciplinary treatment and in particular Orthognathic surgery and hypodontia (missing teeth), as well as regularly attending Birmingham’s Children’s’ Hospital to attend cleft clinics with the multidisciplinary team in one of four craniofacial units in the UK.

Patient Reviews & Testimonials

Dr Ahmed is extremely friendly and professional. Dr Ahmed’s commitment to getting the best result possible was clear from the initial consultation. I am thrilled with my Invisalign result. I have improved self confidence with regard to my smile and I can’t believe how straight my teeth now are. Family and friends think the transformation is amazing.

- Adult Invisalign Patient

Dr Ahmed was friendly and helpful and any questions we had were answered immediately. She was always polite, professional and very helpful. It was worth every penny for my daughter not to feel conscious about her teeth.

- Dad of teenage patient who had fixed braces

I never felt any pain. I really enjoyed working with Dr Ahmed who always looked after me and made sure I had everything I needed. Being able to go out and smile in every photo and show all my teeth is making me a happier person.

Travis (adult Invisalign patient)

She used to cover her mouth when laughing. Nadia has been great all the way through. After her treatment, family who had not seen her for a while noticed a huge difference.

Parent of Daisy who had Invisalign first

I could barely notice the Invisalign after a while and I could not feel them anymore. I am happy I am not shamed of my smile and am proud of it now.

Daisy 10y old (Invisalign first)

I did my research after wanting my teeth straightened for a number of years. Nadia is a very pleasant, easy going yet professional orthodontist, She talked me through everything and the process was very very simple. I feel more confident and like I can smile without worrying about my teeth being crooked. It makes me feel happier and like I don’t have to be hidden, living life as I did before but I smile more!

Tonya (adult Invisalign patient)

For years, I had an unusual bite and was told I could only get that corrected by surgery. Nadia has been amazing throughout the whole journey, encouraging me. Invisalign was a discrete appliance and nobody really noticed I was wearing it. I feel great and getting the confidence to be relaxed in photos and in groups gives a boost.
