Meet the team caring for your smile in Wellingborough

I am a one of the partners of Wellingborough Dental & Implant Clinic and a general and cosmetic dentist.

‍

Following qualifiying from the University of Manchester in 2009, I worked as an associate dentist for a number of years in private practices around the Midlands. My husband and I took over, what is now, Kettering Dental & Implant Clinic in 2019, with a vision to provide a high standard of dentistry to Kettering. We wanted to create a clinic that focussed on our patients and provided a friendly, comfortable environment.

‍

I have attended numerous postgraduate courses in cosmetic dentistry and have a keen interest in Orthodontics. I am currently completing a post-graduate Diploma in Orthodontics, to allow me to be able to treat adults, children and more complex cases with fixed and removable braces as well as Invisalign.

‍

I have a passion for creating beautiful and healthy smiles using minimally invasive dentistry, including porcelain veneers and composite bonding.

‍

In addition to teeth, I have a particular interest in facial aesthetics and have been trained by the leading aesthetic practitioners on Harley Street. I am constantly updating my knowledge and techniques in this field to be able to produce natural results safely. I particularly enjoy treating nervous patients and enjoy getting to know my patients.

‍

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy travelling, eating out and spending time with family and friends, especially my 2 cheeky daughters.

Dr Shiv is one of the general dentists at Wellingborough Dental and Implant Clinic and is interested in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry. After graduating from Birmingham in 2022, he undertook further training in clear aligners and composite bonding in 2024 and completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Minimally Invasive and Aesthetic Dentistry in 2025.

‍

He takes the time to explain every step of the treatment process, helping patients feel informed, confident, and fully involved in their care. This ensures patients feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe, as he understands that visiting the dentist can be an anxious experience. With a calm, patient-focused approach, Dr Shiv blends precision with empathy to deliver consistently outstanding outcomes.

‍

He believes in constantly staying up to date with the latest techniques and materials in modern, gold-standard dentistry. He consistently attends courses both locally and abroad to help further train in Implant dentistry, with his ultimate goal to help care for and treat complex patients involving severe tooth wear who have lost healthy function to restore them back to health.

‍

When not working, Shiv enjoys spending time with his friends and family, exploring new food spots, and travelling to new countries to cross off his bucket list!

Hi, I’m Sana and one of the Associate Dentists at Wellingborough Dental. I graduated from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.

‍

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and I am involved in continuing my professional development. I place great importance in making my patients feel at ease, especially helping nervous patients overcome their fear of attending the dentist. I have a keen interest in restorative dentistry such as fillings, crowns, and root canal treatments. I make sure I give patients a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their individual needs. Further training has helped me to keep up to date with all the new techniques to ensure painless, quality dentistry.

‍

I have since trained in facial aesthetics and I am advancing my skills in Endodontics (Root Canal Treatments) by doing a certification course with Simply Endo.

Generally I love to cook and bake. I am really good at making special Kurdish/Arabian sweets, such as baklava. I also like to take long walks and travel!
