A natural approach
Dr Jagmail Basrai, known as Dave to his patients, combines education, experience and a gentle touch. He qualified at the London Hospital Medical College and also holds a BSc in Chemistry.
He has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, smile makeovers and non-surgical facial rejuvenation, and has trained in smile design with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He has also trained with the British Society of Occlusal Studies in how the teeth and jaws work together.
His approach is conservative: the ABC of Dentistry, Alignment, Bleaching and Composite bonding, before anything more invasive.
In Dave’s words
“Starting my practice from ground zero and building these relationships with all my patients has been a dream come true for me personally. I am an artist at heart, and cosmetic dentistry is the perfect blend of art and science.”
“When I meet new patients, I ask myself: if this were me or my family member, what would be the right solution and how would I want to be treated?”
He believes in constant and never-ending improvement, and in lifelong learning through continuing professional development.
Putting nervous patients at ease
Visiting the dentist can feel intimidating. Dr Basrai has trained in human psychology and behaviour to help ease those fears. He will first establish trust and make sure you know your comfort is the priority.
Dr Jasmin Basrai also works at the practice as a dentist.
