Dr Nilesh graduated from the University of Manchester in 2006 and co-founded Pearl Smile alongside Dr Jassi in 2010.

An accredited Invisalign provider since 2015, Nilesh has become a trusted provider of Invisalign in Manchester and Cheshire, helping patients achieve straighter, healthier, and more confident smiles. He is experienced in managing orthodontic cases of varying complexity and combines orthodontic treatment with a range of cosmetic and restorative procedures to create natural-looking results.

He has a particular interest in minimally prepared veneers and composite bonding, using modern techniques to enhance smiles while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

In 2016, Pearl Smile was recognised as a Regional Centre of Excellence for Enlighten Whitening, reflecting the practice’s commitment to delivering high-quality cosmetic dental care.
