When asked what sets Clear Smiles dental practice apart from all other dentists, Dr Chetan said: "Think of our team as a carefully assembled family; each member has been handpicked for their unique attributes and skills.

"From our conscientious cleaners to our perpetually cheerful front-of-house staff, and of course, our exceptionally skilled dentists, everyone fits into their role like a puzzle piece, completing the picture of unparalleled patient care.

"In the end, it's all about the patients, and it brings me immense joy to say that we've assembled not just a team but a harmonious community dedicated to offering the best possible patient experience.

"My best friend and co-owner of Clear Smiles, Adjay Southi, has been instrumental in assembling this extraordinary group. A great team needs a great leader, and Adjay fills this role to perfection.

"While I'm engrossed in surgery, he acts as the adhesive that keeps everyone working in harmony. Like clockwork, we all sync up under his guidance, with a shared commitment to exceptional patient care.

"Patient-focused attention is his mantra, and we as a team mirror this dedication.

"To ensure our days run seamlessly, we gather every morning for huddles, aligning our energies and focus for the well-being of our patients.

"At Clear Smiles, you won't find the typical imposing reception desks. Instead, our cheerful front-of-house team greets you from a sleek concierge pod, ensuring not just a seamless check-in, but also a genuine inquiry into your day.

"To sum it up, we go above and beyond, and in building the practice, we have taken everything into account, to the finest detail, and so, we have worked tirelessly to ensure every single element of the patient experience is one of luxury, relaxation and a pleasure."

Clear Smiles, opened its doors on August 7.

As a ‘Dental Phobia Certified’ Dentist, Dr Sharma is recognised to have experience treating phobic patients, making them feel at ease when in the dentist chair.

The practice specialises in cosmetic dental work and provides a treatment called Invisalign, which is a smile transformation treatment, where patients wear a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth.

Dr Sharma continued: "We, at Clear Smiles, go above and beyond any healthcare establishment we know in caring for our patients.

"They are truly at the heart of everything we do.

"Understanding the invaluable nature of trust between dentist and patient, we take the time to foster these bonds. We delicately inquire about patients' favourite musicians, ensuring that their preferred melodies accompany them during consultations and treatments.

"Our attentive nature means we remember the little things – celebrating birthdays with cake, marking special moments with coffee or flowers. It's never merely a job for us.

"Our dedication is such that we've even escorted patients to the train station and responded to their queries at all hours.

"At Clear Smiles, we pride ourselves on pioneering innovative approaches. One such unique investment was our 360 video booth, aptly named 'Smiles 360'. A first for UK dentistry, it offers a dynamic and engaging way to showcase our patients' stunning smile transformations. The experience is not just interactive but deeply loved by our patients, leading to a flurry of shares and buzz across the digital landscape."
