A Sheffield-based orthodontist has won the Healthcare and Education Award at this year's Lloyds TSB Northern Asian Jewel Awards in recognition of his advances in dental care. Dr Sonil Kalia was presented with his award at the Lloyds TSB Northern Asian Jewel Awards, in Manchester. The Awards recognise inspirational high achievers from the region's Asian communities. Dr Kalia, who gained his dental degrees in Sheffield and London, has pioneered the use of cutting edge dental technology in his company Orthoscene. Working across the UK and Europe, he specialises in implantology to correct dental and jaw abnormalities. As well as running practices in the UK and Germany, Dr Kalia also teaches dentistry in Denmark on a regular basis. The Northern Asian Jewel Awards, now in their third year, form part of a nationwide search for Asian high flyers in the UK today. Other categories included Business and Commerce, Media, Arts and Sports and Lifetime Achievement. Pictured above: Dr Kalia (left) receiving the Healthcare and Education Award from Dr Mohammed Iqbal.
