Future Concerns

  1. Separate space for department

We are facing difficulties as our whole department is stuck in OPD and it become difficult for patients to get treatment from our department. Thus, a separate space for our department is required to serve ailing humanity.

  1. Availability of CBCT / Digital OPG & Cephalometrics

As the radiology got digitalized, we are changing our equipment for better of patients and for ease in diagnosis.

  1. Esthetic Treatments

We are ready to take this evolutionary step towards betterment of patients towards making smiles great.

  1. Creation of posts of Dental Surgeons, Dental Nurses & Paramedics for the department
  2. Last but not least, Sheikh Zayed Dental College, Rahim Yar Khan
