The Dentalfacelift course (13th June) is for dentists only but the Oralift course (14th June)
is open to members of other professions who wish to provide Oralift treatment.
In 1996 Nick Mohindra's first paper was published in the British Dental Journal showing that vertical dimension (lower facial height) could be increased by 20mm at a time in some cases. The thinking hitherto had been that vertical dimension could not be increased by more than 1 - 3mm. A subsequent paper was published in 2002 with JS Bullman Emeritus Reader in Public Health at the Eastman Dental Institute and University College London, entitled "The effect of increasing vertical dimension on facial aesthetics".
From their research of 96 patients with a 72% response rate, Dr. Mohindra and Mr. Bullman discovered that 80% of those patients whose vertical dimension had been increased permanently looked between 5 and 20 years younger. The amount of increase in vertical dimension was determined by using the pivot appliance. These views were supported by an independent panel, which consisted of a dentist, a dermatologist, a health and beauty journalist, an artist and a patient who considered before and after photographs of the patients.
Nick calls the above procedure The Dentalfacelift.
Subsequent to this research and as a continuation of this work, Dr. Mohindra developed the Oralift appliance, which is a device which fits over the lower teeth. The appliance separates the teeth to a degree greater than the original space between the upper and lower teeth (the "freeway space") and the muscles adapt by creating a new resting length and freeway space. The majority of patients fitted with the appliance have reported benefits and improvements to their skin and facial features.
Nick Mohindra qualified as a dentist from Edinburgh in 1969. After gaining general dental experience at a number of practices in London he became principal of practices in South Wales and Kent, where he was appointed a vocational trainer over a nine year period. Nick lectured to various postgraduate and BDA groups.
In the 1990's he developed an interest in TMD syndrome, which led him to working with and researching difficulties faced by edentulous patients, which in turn led to an interest in facial aesthetics.
In 1999 Nick decided to leave general practice to concentrate his work in this field and to set up Added Dimension Dentistry in London where he continues his work.

"Excellent, informative course. The case examples show what can be done. A good mixture of theory and practical demonstration. Will definitely be using the appliances."- Harry Sarai
“This fascinating course is of interest to any dentist wishing to help their patients look better. Dr Mohindra gives an overview of facial aesthetics and how we age. Through an appreciation of dental techniques, particularly his Ora-lift appliance, he demonstrates how we can bring about a radical improvement in muscle tone and facial appearance. After listening to him you can never again look at patients without thinking what improvements could be made both inside and outside the mouth.“- Pam Coates
Seminar information:-
In these seminars Dr. Nick Mohindra will cover how to recognize the signs of facial ageing and how to assess which patients might benefit from facial rejuvenation through dentistry. He will consider the aesthetic problems faced by many denture patients and those patients with tooth wear, who are unhappy with their teeth. He will illustrate these with case histories. He will also show how dentists can deliver facial transformations by examining a number of case studies he has treated over a number of years with his Dentalfacelift technique for both edentulous and dentate patients. Some of these cases will show how patients for whom previously the only treatment option was maxillo facial or cosmetic surgery have found another option with Dentalfacelift and Oralift facial rejuvenation.
He will look at the principles of smile design and show dentists how the smile window can be changed.
Dr. Mohindra will illustrate the use of the Oralift appliance, which is about to undergo clinical trials. The majority of patients using this appliance have reported benefits and improvements to their skin and facial features. Dr. Mohindra will show how other dentists interested in facial rejuvenation can introduce Oralift and the Dentalfacelift procedures to their practices.
After the seminar, you will learn which patients to treat and which to refer for treatment.
