Career history?
“After qualifying from St Bartholomews and The Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry with a Distinction, I began working in the general dental sector and also at a Harley Street Cosmetic Surgery, where I continued to develop my cosmetic and restorative dentistry. I then decided to pursue international studies in the US, Brazil and France. Following this, I became one of the first UK dentists to be a specialist in dental implants from a prestigious Sao Paulo university. I founded The Smile Studios, where I maintain and develop our high standards of dental services. I lecture at international events, my studies have been published in international journals and more recently, I’ve been elected as Philips’ Sonicare Ambassador. This involves lecturing dentists and the public up and down the country. I recently lectured on behalf of the British Dental Association, which was really enjoyable.”
How many specialists are at The Smile Studios?
“My specialist interests are in cosmetics and dental implants, although I perform general dentistry as well. Dr. Hardip Dhatt offers orthodontic treatments, such as the revolutionary Six Month Smile. We can also arrange visiting specialists if the need is required.”
What makes The Smile Studios better than other
Dental Spas?
“We were in fact one of the first establishments to coin the term ‘Dental Spa!’ Our services are great quality and affordable, plus our team is internationally trained to a very high degree.”
Care to demystify any dentistry myths?
“Don’t scrub your teeth! It wears the enamel down. Invest in the right toothbrush. Philips’ Sonicare brushes are the best on the market as they won’t damage your pearly whites. Another handy hint is to chew sugar-free gum after a meal, as it’ll increase saliva flow, while picking up debris – leaving you with a lovely clean mouth!”
What do you do in your spare time?
“My schedule gets quite busy as I’m also a visiting surgeon, so travel around the UK performing difficult treatments on patients, which some practices are unable to perform. When I do get some free time, I devote a lot of it to charity work. I’ve been involved in fundraising abroad, in places such as Asia and South America. I also like to catch a Harlequins match when I can.”
