Saqib Safdar

Dr Saqib Safdar is listed at Nuffield Dental as a specialist focused on oral and maxillofacial surgery with sedation and restorative support. His Nuffield profile includes a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Birmingham in 2012 and Foundation Year training in the Northern Postgraduate Deanery in the UK. He also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Conscious Sedation from Newcastle University in 2016 and is accredited and certified in Invisalign.

Within Nuffield Dental’s TMJ pathway content, jaw joint arthrocentesis is described as a procedure where X-rays and CBCT scans are taken at consultation, and the arthrocentesis procedure typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes with IV sedation or general anaesthesia. This aligns with Dr Saqib Safdar’s clinical positioning in the clinic’s TMJ treatment materials. For patients who need both surgical intervention and comfort-focused sedation planning, this combination can be valuable.
