Dr Bal Sidhu is a specialist prosthodontist based at The Dental Surgery in the City of London. She is recognised for her expertise in advanced restorative, cosmetic and prosthodontic dentistry, with a clinical focus on restoring both function and appearance for patients with complex dental needs.

She qualified as a dentist from King’s College London and went on to complete specialist training in prosthodontics, gaining a Master’s degree in fixed and removable prosthodontics with distinction from the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. Her specialist training allows her to manage cases ranging from routine restorative care to full-mouth rehabilitation, using a structured and evidence-based approach. She works closely with other dental specialists as part of a multidisciplinary team to ensure patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

Many of the patients who seek her expertise present with symptoms such as generalised or localised tooth wear, shortening or discolouration of teeth, dental sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, cracked teeth, or difficulties with chewing and speech. She also treats patients with missing teeth due to trauma, failed previous dental work, congenital absence of teeth, or medical conditions. A significant proportion of her work involves managing tooth wear related to clenching, grinding, acid erosion and long-term functional imbalance.

Her clinical practice includes crown and bridge work, complex restorative dentistry, implant placement and restoration, denture provision, splint therapy, diagnosis and management of cracked teeth, and aesthetic dentistry for the front teeth. She provides treatments ranging from single restorations to complex, phased treatment plans involving multiple teeth, implants and bite rehabilitation. She has a particular interest in managing tooth wear cases, where both function and appearance must be carefully balanced, and in providing well-designed splints to protect teeth and relieve jaw-related symptoms.

Bal has a strong interest in aesthetic dentistry delivered with a functional focus, ensuring that cosmetic improvements are always supported by a stable bite and long-term oral health. She enjoys treating complex cases that require careful planning and precision, including implant-supported restorations and denture work for patients who are not suitable for fixed solutions. Her work is guided by the principle that dental treatment should not only look natural, but also restore confidence, comfort and quality of life.

Outside her clinical work, she values a patient-centred approach built on clear communication, realistic expectations and long-term outcomes. She is known for her calm manner and her ability to guide patients through complex decisions with clarity and reassurance, helping them regain function, comfort and confidence in their smile.
