Dr Dip Malde is a UK-based dentist whose practice is limited to periodontal and peri-implant health, with a passion for education and empowerment-led care.

Dip began his dental education in 2006 at King’s College London. Through his clinical journey in general and implant dentistry, he went on to complete an MSc in Periodontology, developing a deeper understanding of what it takes to create lasting improvements in oral health.

Dip recognised that successful periodontal care goes beyond what happens in the dental practice. The foundation for long-term oral health comes from how well patients understand their condition and how confident and capable they feel in managing their own health.

This experience has shaped his work today. Alongside his clinical practice, Dip is dedicated to educating and empowering dental hygienists and therapists, helping them translate periodontal knowledge into confident, consistent clinical practice.

His mission is to inspire, educate and empower dental professionals and, ultimately, enhance oral health on a wider scale for humanity as a whole.
