Since completing the MSc program in 2001 Daljit has taught as a clinical teacher at GKT and in 2005 limited her practice to Periodontics. For the last 20 years she has worked at several referral practices in central London and the southeast accepting referrals in the field of periodontics. Daljit has continued to lecture to dentists and hygienists over the years. She has a wide range of experience treating complex periodontal cases including crown lengthening, ridge augmentation, root coverage procedures, guided bone regeneration, socket preservation and multidisciplinary treatment planning. She keeps up to date with developments in the field by attending national and international courses and conferences.
