MiCD (Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Dentistry) was first introduced back in 2009 by Dr. Sushil Koirala and a group of dynamic and forward-thinking clinicians and academicians with the support of SHOFU DENTAL Asia-Pacific as the official partner.

MiCD is a holistic patient-centric treatment approach that integrates minimally invasive treatment techniques with aesthetic dentistry to enhance the smile while taking into consideration the psychology, health, function and aesthetics of the patient.
