Built in everyday dentistry
A general dentist first
Monik qualified from the University of Leeds in 2003 and began his career in general practice, completing his postgraduate training alongside full-time clinical work.
He opened a brand-new practice in a high-needs area of Bolton and grew it into a thriving, busy practice, which was acquired by Bupa Dental Care in 2019. He then built Freshdental Clinic in Central London from scratch: a private practice focused on minimally invasive restorative and aesthetic dentistry, where he and his team still treat patients every day.
Teaching
Educator to more than 6,200 clinicians
Monik founded Freshdental Institute in 2016 to make postgraduate education practical, minimally invasive and enjoyable, taught by someone who works in everyday practice. Totally Composite has since run 280 times in 14 countries, and more than 900 dentists have graduated from the Totally Aesthetics diploma.
He has served on the faculty of the gIDE Institute in Los Angeles, as a visiting lecturer at the University of Geneva, and as a UK ambassador and global trainer for Invisalign. He is the author of Smile Art.
