Biography
Dr Niru Azim is a GDC-registered dental surgeon (No. 170811) and aesthetic practitioner based in Appledore, Kent. She qualified with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from MAHE University, Manipal in 2005, and has practised as a dental surgeon in the UK since passing the GDC statutory examination in 2008.
Over the past decade, Dr Niru has specialised in cosmetic and facial aesthetic treatments alongside her general and cosmetic dental work, combining surgical-level anatomical knowledge with an artistic, conservative aesthetic approach. She is a certified Invisalign provider and an experienced injector across the non-surgical aesthetic range — anti-wrinkle treatment, dermal fillers, lip fillers, Profhilo bio-remodelling, skin boosters and the Obagi Nu-Derm medical-grade skincare system.
She is preparing to open The Azim Clinic, a clinician-led private aesthetic practice at Sunset Lodge in Appledore, Kent, in August 2026, alongside continuing roles at Providence Dental (Folkestone) and ConfiDent Surgeries (Faversham). Her clinical philosophy is summarised on the clinic strapline: Subtle. Safe. You.
