A born and bred dentist

Dentistry has always been a huge part of my life, in fact I was born and bred in the flat above our surgery in Crystal Palace where my father Lalit was practising as a dentist.

I followed him into the profession and trained at dental school at Guy’s Hospital where I was Student President, and I am one of only a few dentists in the country to complete a Master’s Degree in Dentistry at the prestigious Eastman Dental Hospital in London.

I’m extremely proud of the long-term relationships that I’ve built up with my patients over the past 25 years and the high-quality work that my team of dentists and hygienists do at our patient-centred practice in Gipsy Hill.

Outside of my own work, I act as a mentor for other dentists and am married with two grown-up children. I also love playing golf.

Helping you get a good night’s sleep

I joined the team in 2018 after having spent time working in NHS and private practices in central London, Kent and Sussex. During my time at University College Cork in Ireland, I won awards for my clinical work and research.

As well as general dentistry and cosmetic treatments, I am an Invisalign Go provider and also offer fixed braces options. I believe in preventive and minimally invasive treatments.

I also have a keen interest in sleep and airway dentistry as a myofunctional therapist, and I a member of the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine and the British Society of Myofunctional Therapy. So, if you or someone in your family snores or grinds their teeth, I can help!

I love to learn and frequently go on courses and attend study clubs to keep myself up to date with the latest techniques and treatments.

My spare time is taken up by coffee and rugby, and you may often see me running or cycling around South London.

Gipsy Hill’s resident foodie

I have been a member of the team since 2016, having graduated in 2013 from King’s College London and completed my vocational training in Northampton.

I am a proud dentist and enjoy my job, especially when making a difference to my patients’ lives so that they can smile with confidence. I know a visit to the dentist can be quite nerve-wracking for some, and I pride myself on easing those nerves for my anxious patients so that they no longer have to be afraid.

I obtained a Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties at the Royal College of Surgeons and a BSc in Biomedical Science from King’s College prior to studying dentistry.

I offer all aspects of general dental treatment and help my patients achieve the perfect smile through Invisalign treatment and other cosmetic dentistry – perfect for those selfies and virtual calls! I like to keep myself up to date with the latest developments in dentistry by regularly attend training courses.

Outside of work I’m a real ‘foodie’, and love cooking, travelling and spending time with my little family. I am fluent in English and Urdu.

I joined straight from school!

I joined the team fresh out of school in 2009, starting initially as a receptionist and then progressing my way through the ranks to become a dental nurse and oral health educator.

In 2015 I qualified from Kings College London as a dental hygienist and therapist, and was awarded a prize for clinical excellence.

I thrive on helping our patients achieve great oral health and pride myself on my friendly demeanour that can put nervous patients at ease.

Outside of work, I am a devoted mum of two children.

Striking a (yoga) pose!

Having graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2015 where I studied Oral Health Sciences, I worked in hospital and in general practice, both of which gave me great experience with advanced periodontal disease and cosmetic cases.

I believe that prevention is better than cure, and enjoy transforming the most anxious patient into a confident, healthy one for life through taking care of their smile.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, keeping fit through yoga and spending time with my family.

Always willing to help others

I have been part of the team for many years and qualified as a dental nurse in 2014.

For me the practice is like a second home and I pride myself on my friendly and approachable attitude toward my patients.

I love socialising with family and friends, and can speak English and Albanian.

A cool head on the front line

I have over 25 years’ experience in the customer service sector, but am the newest face on the Gipsy Hill reception desk.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team, as well as a calm, collective, gentle, caring and motivational nature.

I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping, and the odd cheeky glass of wine while reading novels or watching a movie!
