Clinical Expertise

Dr Nupur Kataria is a specialist periodontist at Collins Street Specialist Centre whose training reflects the highest standards of postgraduate dental education in Australia. She completed the Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry (DCD/DClinDent) at the University of Adelaide's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences — a three-year postgraduate programme combining intensive hands-on clinical training with substantive scholarly research, at one of the country's most respected institutions for dental specialist training.

Her clinical scope covers the full range of periodontal and peri-implant care:

• Assessment, diagnosis, and management of all stages of periodontal (gum) disease
• Non-surgical periodontal therapy, including scaling, root planing, and ongoing supportive periodontal care
• Surgical periodontal treatment, encompassing both resective and regenerative procedures
• Dental implant placement and surgical management
• Gum grafting and soft tissue management
• Crown lengthening for aesthetic and restorative purposes
• Management of peri-implant complications

Periodontal disease, from early-stage gingivitis through to advanced periodontitis, is among the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting Australian adults. For patients managing diabetes or cardiovascular disease, specialist periodontal care carries particular weight: the links between gum health and systemic health outcomes are well established, and specialist involvement can make a real difference to long-term wellbeing.

Patients seeing Dr Kataria can expect a thorough initial assessment, a clear explanation of their diagnosis in plain language, and a treatment plan tailored to their individual circumstances — whether that means non-surgical management, a surgical approach, or a combination of both.

Training Pathway

Dr Kataria completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) at the University of Adelaide, an institution with a strong tradition of producing clinically capable, intellectually grounded graduates. She then returned to Adelaide for specialist study, undertaking the Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry in Periodontics — a demanding programme that builds deep surgical expertise alongside a thorough grounding in evidence-based clinical practice.

The University of Adelaide's periodontics programme is nationally recognised for the breadth and quality of its surgical training and its commitment to an evidence-informed curriculum. Graduates are equipped to manage the full range of periodontal conditions, from early inflammatory disease through to complex implant reconstruction, with both technical precision and sound clinical reasoning.

For referring dentists, Dr Kataria's training pathway gives confidence that their patients will receive specialist-level care that is current, evidence-based, and delivered with appropriate clinical rigour.
