Dr Senthil Thiagarajan is principal dentist at Smile Suffolk in Ipswich, and has a special interest in dental implants and dental lasers. Dr Thiagarajan recently completed the Advanced Horizontal & Vertical Augmentation course presented by Dr S. Balaji, and the Soft Tissue Management Around Teeth & Implants course led by Professor G. Zucchelli and Dr S. Balaji. He discusses his motivation to enrol on both of these courses, and why he chose The Academy of Soft and Hard Tissue Augmentation (ASHA) Club to further his education:

“My motivation to enrol in the Advanced Horizontal & Vertical Augmentation and Soft Tissue Management courses stemmed from my desire to deepen my understanding and enhance my skills in dental implantology. The reputation of ASHA and the expertise of Dr Selvaraj Balaji and Professor G. Zucchelli were key factors in my decision.

“The course has significantly improved my comprehension of the biological foundations and principles behind hard and soft tissue grafting. Dr Balaji and Professor G. Zucchelli’s teachings have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate processes involved, enabling me to approach my practice with greater precision and confidence.”

Support and mentoring from ASHA Club

When you take part in a course with ASHA Club, you unlock access to an exclusive WhatsApp Group and mentoring, to receive ongoing support from colleagues and experts. Dr Thiagarajan describes his experience of this:

“The WhatsApp group discussions and case selection guidance have been immensely beneficial. They offer a platform for continuous learning and peer support, allowing me to discuss real-life cases and gain insights from experienced colleagues. This collaborative environment has been invaluable in refining my decision-making and surgical techniques.

“Dr Balaji’s mentorship has been transformative for my surgical skills and professional growth. His personalised guidance on specific cases has elevated my technical abilities and enhanced my confidence in performing complex procedures. His mentorship has been a pivotal factor in my journey towards becoming a more skilled and knowledgeable practitioner.”

Zucchelli are unparalleled. These courses have not only advanced my technical abilities but also enriched my overall approach to dental implantology.

“Enrolling in the Advanced Horizontal & Vertical Augmentation and Soft Tissue Management courses at ASHA has been a life-changing experience. The expertise of Dr. Selvaraj Balaji and Professor G.
