Biography

Dr Kumar qualified from the University of Birmingham in 2004, and followed this with a year working at Guy’s, Kings and St Thomas’ Dental Institute.

She then spent several years in general practice whilst also working as a clinical teacher in dental radiography and radiology at Guy’s Hospital.

In 2009, she embarked on a specialist training program in Periodontology at King’s College London based at Guy’s Hospital. She is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, European Federation of Periodontology and the British Society of Periodontology.

Anju has a wealth of experience treating complex cases and has a particular interest in the management of severe gum problems and overgrowth in younger people. She also has experience in managing failing implants.

If your gums are receding, bleeding, swollen or uncomfortable or you’ve been told you have gum disease then Dr Anju can help.

In addition to managing gum disease around teeth and dental implants, Anju also offers solutions to address gum recession. She is one of the few dentists in the UK to be performing Pinhole gum rejuvenation following training in the USA. This is a non-surgical alternative to gum grafting.

She has a passion for what she does and uses the latest research and advances to lead with a minimally invasive approach thus reducing the need for complex surgery. 

She welcomes anxious patients and strives to provide a relaxing environment during treatment. Dr Anju works in three Central London locations and offers early morning and evening appointments.

In her spare time Anju loves travelling and exploring new places and cultures. She enjoys reading about the history of art and is currently working her way through a list of art works to visit!

Before smilepod, I was the kind of patient who visited a dentist once every ten years. Then I found smilepod and everything changed. Online appointment bookings, easy to understand upfront costs with no surprises, a range of treatment options and really lovely dentists - I haven't looked back! My dentist, Dr Carine is excellent. Patient, kind and happy to explain everything, she makes me feel at ease and I know I'm in safe hands. With locations all over London, despite the fact that I've moved house and changed jobs countless times since I became a smilepod patient, I've never had to change my dentist.
Roshni helped resolve my gum bleeding issue and performed a gentle gum cleaning. She patiently answered all my questions. This was my third dental cleaning in London, and it was by far the best. Thank you, Roshni!
Response from the owner: Dear Xiang,Thank you for your kind words! We're glad Roshni could help with your gum bleeding and that you had a great experience at Smilepod Bank. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit!Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod
