  • Dr Nandita Kanzaria

    Dr Nandita Kanzaria

    DENTIST | GDC number 258636

    Dr Kanzaria known to our patients as Nandi, trained at King’s College London and graduated in 2015. She went on to complete further training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, prior to going into general practice in 2018.

    Having undergone several years of dental treatment herself, she believes dental health plays a huge role in a person’s overall wellbeing including functionality, aesthetics and self-confidence. She strongly favours using preventative measures where appropriate, and uses this as the basis to provide care for all her patients.

    When treating anxious patients, she takes an empathetic, gentle and well-explained approach, ensuring that patients feel at ease and as comfortable as possible through the treatment. To supplement this, she is undergoing further training to provide ‘Conscious Sedation’ to those patients who are highly anxious, which she finds is a fantastic way to alleviate patient nervousness and distress.

    Away from dentistry, Dr Kanzaria enjoys long distance running and yoga. She also loves experimenting with different cuisines and is always ready for a new adventure.
