Dr Nick Mohindra first became interested in this field when he
was treating patients who were suffering from what is known as TMD
syndrome. This is a group of symptoms including sore facial muscles,
tense neck and shoulders, or back and head pains, often caused by
jaw relationship problems. It occurred to him that the technique he
was using to treat these patients could also benefit denture
patients. This lead to the Added Dimension Denture™ technique, which
is based on restoring the lower facial height lost by denture
wearers.
Dr Mohindra was encouraged to publish his findings in a
scientific paper and this was published in the British Dental
Journal in 1996. Since then he has treated hundreds of patients with
the technique and recently made the decision to give up general
dentistry - Dr Mohindra was previously principal of a four-man
practice in Kent - in order to devote all his time to Added
Dimension Dentistry. He plans to teach other Dentists the technique
at his Added Dimension Dentistry Clinic in central London.
Dr Mohindra has been under pressure from both his peers and his
patients to provide a similar solution for people with their own
teeth. Further research has resulted in the development of the
Oralift Facial Rejuvenation®: a stretch
and exercise device for the face. This is designed to be used as
an anti-aging technique for our younger patients (30+) and to address
the signs of aging for our more mature patients.
