Meet the team caring for your smile in Kettering

Having studied Dentistry at the University Of Wales College Of Medicine I qualified in January 1994. Later that year I joined Dental Care in Kettering for a years’ Vocational Training and have been an Associate here since 1995.

‍

I enjoy carrying out all aspects of Dentistry and feel honoured to be caring for the children of patients who I first saw when they were young themselves.Outside of dentistry, I enjoy singing in a choir, playing the piano badly, reading, walking in the countryside with my wife and kids, and serving as Treasurer to a local church.

I graduated from Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2016.Ever since graduation I have strived to achieve the best that I can for my patients.

‍

Working as an associate, I have gained a broad range of experience of treating patients with a wide range of dental needs with my friendly, calm, and trusting natureHaving a passion for creating beautiful smiles, I have completed a year long course in Advanced Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry by Aspire Academy in London where I learned new skills with the latest techniques, which ultimately benefits the care I can provide to my patients.

‍

I relish the challenges of complex restorative cases including missing and worn-down teeth and I am currently in my second year of Prosthodontic (crown, bridges, dentures, and implants) Speciality Training with King’s College London which will lead to me being a registered Specialist Prosthodontist.

‍

I love spending time with family and friends and the food that comes with it!! I loves watching football, cricket, snooker, and tennis and I keep fit by going to the gym.

Since qualifying from Charles University in Prague in 2016, I have been proud to be part of the team here at Kettering Dental. One of my proudest achievements during my studies was being able to communicate with patients in Czech while training in Dentistry. However, I am equally proud of how I’ve continued to grow and adapt within the dynamic team environment at Kettering Dental.

‍

I’m known for being friendly, outgoing, and approachable. Patients often comment on my calm and reassuring chairside manner, especially when they arrive in pain. It’s incredibly rewarding to see them leave more comfortable, confident, and smiling.

‍

I’m passionate about my career and driven to continuously improve. I embrace new challenges and remain committed to becoming the best clinician I can be.

I am a one of the partners of Kettering Dental & Implant Clinic and a general and cosmetic dentist.

Following qualifiying from the University of Manchester in 2009, I worked as an associate dentist for a number of years in private practices around the Midlands. My husband and I took over, what is now, Kettering Dental & Implant Clinic in 2019, with a vision to provide a high standard of dentistry to Kettering. We wanted to create a clinic that focussed on our patients and provided a friendly, comfortable environment.

I have attended numerous postgraduate courses in cosmetic dentistry and have a keen interest in Orthodontics. I am currently completing a post-graduate Diploma in Orthodontics, to allow me to be able to treat adults, children and more complex cases with fixed and removable braces as well as Invisalign.

‍

I have a passion for creating beautiful and healthy smiles using minimally invasive dentistry, including porcelain veneers and composite bonding.

‍

In addition to teeth, I have a particular interest in facial aesthetics and have been trained by the leading aesthetic practitioners on Harley Street. I am constantly updating my knowledge and techniques in this field to be able to produce natural results safely. I particularly enjoy treating nervous patients and enjoy getting to know my patients.

‍

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy travelling, eating out and spending time with family and friends, especially my 2 cheeky daughters.

Hi, I’m Sana and one of the Associate Dentists at Kettering Dental. I graduated from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and I am involved in continuing my professional development. I place great importance in making my patients feel at ease, especially helping nervous patients overcome their fear of attending the dentist. I have a keen interest in restorative dentistry such as fillings, crowns, and root canal treatments. I make sure I give patients a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their individual needs. Further training has helped me to keep up to date with all the new techniques to ensure painless, quality dentistry.
