Hi ! I’m Zahra, one of Smilepod’s dentists. I’ve been working at Smilepod since 2017 but I’m a qualified dentist from Brazil since 2010. I’m a multitasking dentist who enjoys a variety of treatments!
Smilepod Holborn is great to work in – it’s such a central location and the atmosphere here is so calming and friendly. I love the control I have in my clients care. If I am seeing someone who needs more time I am able to extend their appointment so the duty of care is never compromised. I never have to rush so I always know I am always doing a good job.
I really like developing relationships with my patients. I like them to come back to see me and feel at ease. I believe that going to the dentist should be a nice experience rather than a traumatic one.
The key points for a good oral health are: cut down on sugar consumption, brush twice a day for two to three minutes, floss daily and go for regular check-ups as recommended by your dentist. Don’t postpone your check-ups because prevention is always easier – and cheaper – than treatment! And if you happen to choose me as your dentist, I’ll be here for you!

Hello! My name is Ramona and I am the manager of Holborn Smilepod and probably the first person you will see. You are very welcome here – it’s a friendly place. I’ve been at Smilepod for about 5 years and I have a great team who have all stayed a long while. It’s quite unusual in dentistry to have low staff turnover and I am really proud of my team. Customer service is so important to all of us.
I first came to London in 2011 to improve my English. I learned American style English and there are differences with the conversation. I then started working at Smilepod and took my dental nursing qualification. I always loved biology so dentistry was a really natural fit for me.
If you are nervous about visiting why not come and have a chat with me? I’ve had lots of appointments myself so I know first hand what it’s like. I had my orthodontics done here with a fixed brace for a few years and it was amazing. I love my new straight smile.
I recommend anyone who wants to smile more should come and see us. We are different from the usual dentist, there are no lectures, we are approachable easy to book and we really care about our clients. It’s all about forming trusting relationships
