Gulshan Murgai – Lab Owner

GDC Reg. No. 79910

Gulshan Murgai

Dr Murgai qualified in 2001 from The University of Birmingham – the oldest dental school in the UK.

In 2004 he took over the dental clinic at 18 Whippendell Road and re-created it as the high-end dental practice that it is today

With a vision for quality and excellence he had the idea of creating an on-site lab in 2012. Having acquired the premises in late 2014, after being a tenant since 2004, building began in early 2015 and production began on site in July of the same year.

Whilst regularly attending courses for continual professional development, he has also trained other dentists in the use of Digital Dentistry, Dental Implant surgery and smile makeovers.

These skills mean that anybody wanting to use this lab can also access his clinical knowledge and plan cases from both clinical and technical viewpoint.

He has created a lab primarily geared towards the discerning implant practitioner but also provides for both general and restorative practices too.

Outside of work he enjoys cars, fine dining, travel, DIY (using a different type of drill!) and spending time with his wife, and two children.

Gulshan is fluent in English, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and has a basic understanding of German, French and Arabic.
