Dr Anju Kumar

Periodontist

GDC: 83479

Hi, I’m Anju and I am Smilepod’s Specialist Periodontist. You can find me at any of our Bank, Canary Wharf or Holborn locations.

I was drawn to Periodontology, which is the study of the gums, because of the way it brings together our general health with conditions that affect the gums.

I absolutely love what I do and even after all these years I’m still amazed at the ability of the gums to repair and heal.

I have a particular interest in treating the more advanced cases of gum disease and failing implants. It’s hard to believe that gum disease that may have affected somebody’s life for many years can be treated effectively with just several short appointments.

To be healthy you don’t want inflammation in any part of your body, including your gums. So if you want to live a truly healthy lifestyle, then you must focus on the gums.

Dr Raj Jabbal

Specialist Orthodontist

GDC: 170889

“My interests focus on adult orthodontics and attaining the balance between speed, efficiency and stability of treatment and aesthetics during the procedure. “

My name is Raj, I’m your friendly neighbourhood orthodontist! I studied orthodontics at Kings College London and have a Membership in Orthodontics with the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. My interests focus on adult orthodontics and attaining the balance between speed, efficiency and stability of treatment and aesthetics during the procedure.

I love orthodontics and it is more than a career! It harnesses both the functional aspects of the oral environment and the beauty of the human condition. Patients contemplating orthodontics should take the step to have a consultation. The decision can only be made once all the information has been considered as contemporary options have revolutionised the aesthetics and efficiency of modern orthodontics.

Dr Ana Polidoro

Dentist

GDC: 156003

“I see lots of nervous clients and whenever you ask why they are scared. 90% of the time it’s due to a bad experience as a child. It’s a matter of taking the chance on us and we can give you a positive experience. Dentistry has changed so much over the years so it won’t be as bad as you think.”

Hi, I’m Ana one of Smilepod’s dentists. I’ve worked for Smilepod for five years although I did some cover dentistry for a different location ten years ago. I began my career working in Brazil then moved to London about 13 years ago.

I’ve been fascinated by dentistry since I was 10 years old and had an accident and broke my teeth. At the time I had to go back and forth to the dentists’ lots of time and they thought it was unlikely I would be able to keep my teeth. It sounds scary, but I was really interested in how things worked in dentistry and teeth. Due to the skill of the dentist, I was able to keep my teeth so my dentist inspired me to go down this path.

I am especially interested in educating clients on prevention. Prevention is so much better than cure. Most dental problems don’t cause symptoms. As a dentist, I can see these problems and stop them in their tracks. That’s why attending your check-ups is so important to the health of your teeth.

I had an appointment with Rayna, and she was absolutely amazing! My teeth were perfectly cleaned with zero hassle and pain. She was also very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely book again. I’m extremely grateful for the great and professional service!

We look forward to welcoming you back for your next appointment here at Smilepod Soho!Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod

It's great to know that you’re happy with the results and felt well taken care of. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you again! 😊👌Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod
What can you expect from Brazilian dentists? They are the best. I’ve been going to this clinic for over three years, and unfortunately, I can't go anywhere else because their work is fantastic. The service is top-notch, they are honest, and they keep my smile perfect
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are truly honoured by your kind words and thrilled to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience with our clinic over the past three years. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that you trust us to take care of your smile, and that our Smilepod Holborn team’s dedication to honesty and top-notch service has made such a lasting impression.
I would really like to extend my thanks to the Smilepod team at Moorgate, where I have had two surgeries in the past year with Dr Karin Sisti to remove my wisdom teeth.Just for context, on my local NHS in Lincolnshire I was told it would be 12 months just for an initial scan in a hospital 30 miles away. Due to repeated problems with my wisdom teeth resulting in almost 10 rounds of antibiotics in less than a year I couldn't wait that long.Smilepod where I normally have my teeth cleaned came to the rescue. They were able to arrange all of the scans and appointments very quickly, while also offering a specialist opinion I could actually trust.I had a lot of nerves and anxiety during both surgeries, but Dr Sisti and her assistant were extremely kind and understanding.On the second surgery, they were also able to offer new laser technology which also really sped up my healing.Let's face it, nobody likes going to the dentist especially when it involves surgery. But when you can benefit from specialists who really know their craft, it is well worth the investment for your health.I now feel relieved everything is done and two weeks on already notice how much easier it is to eat and clean my teeth compared with before my surgeries.If you are a patient in a similar situation to me, you are absolutely in the best hands at Smilepod.
It's like the advert: "Inga reaches places that other hygienists can't reach". Great service & a job well done as always.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and that our service met your expectations. We’ll be sure to keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing you again!Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod

Had a consultation with Ana and it was an excellent experience. Ana is very friendly and professional! I required a filling which I then had done with her a few days later. Ana and her assistant were great! Not only that but the receptionist is very friendly and kind. Perfect experience all around!

I'm afraid of Dentists, but coming back here regularly during more the 5 years... Thanks to Dr. Ilze and Dr. Daiva :)
Been a patient at Smilepod for 10 years or so. They’ve been kind, gentle and caring through routine and emergency dental care. Would thoroughly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Smilepod. Our team works to provide the best possible experience for our customers, and it's incredibly rewarding to know we met your expectations.
Booked and attended a hygienist appointment and what can I say! You get more than what you paid for! After seeing all the good review for Rodrigo, I booked in an appointment with him. The cleaning was extremely detailed and thorough and the result is amazing! Rodrigo is very patient and cleaned my teeth very carefully, there were minimal discomfort compared to many other dentist/hygienist I have ever used. Highly recommend Rodrigo if you are going for a clean up!
Magatha did an amazing job...Seeing an hygienist for somebody who likes coffee, red wine and cigarettes always leads to the same result.. a few stains between the front teeth will not go away and you leave the dentist with the same feeling of a mission not accomplished...Magatha took her time and scrupulous attitude to make sure " no stain will be left unturned" and the result is simply amazing... thank you!!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your positive review!Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and we are delighted that you left our clinic with a smile.
