Biography

After qualifying as a dentist from a top dental school in Brazil in 2004, Dr Polidoro worked in a private practice and also undertook a year-long course in endodontics (root canal treatment). She then moved to London and registered with the General Dental Council in 2008.

At the age of eight, she suffered a traumatic dental injury and almost lost two of her top front teeth. She underwent extensive dental treatment and was one of the lucky 10% of people whose teeth can be saved following such an injury. This experience ignited Ana’s passion for dentistry and set her on the path to becoming a dentist.

Ana has an empathetic and honest approach to dentistry with a gentle ‘chairside’ manner. She is an enthusiastic oral health educator and has a special way with nervous clients, taking the time to gain their trust and watch their confidence blossom. One of her main aims is to ensure her clients fully understand their treatment plans and all available options.

Other interests

Ana loves traveling and exploring new places and cultures around the world! She also was a keen swimmer in her teens when she competed in a 2.2 km open water swimming event, but it was only in 2014 that she found her great passion for fitness and healthy living.

Had an appointment with Vanessa, the dental hygienist today. She was very gentle and session was without any pain unlike other hygienists I’ve tried before. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back to see her again.
I had my surgery done by Dr. Michel Furtado and I am extremely pleased with the care I received. He made me feel at ease straight away, and I felt confident that I was in safe and capable hands throughout. His professionalism, gentle manner, and reassurance helped make the whole experience much easier. I am very thankful for her excellent care and would happily recommend him.
I had been dealing with gum recession on my lower front teeth for quite some time, mainly due to naturally thin gum tissue, a tight frenum, and the presence of a fixed retainer. After a previous graft attempt years ago that wasn’t successful, I was understandably nervous about trying the procedure again.However, my experience with Dr. Hygino completely changed my perspective. He recommended and performed an epithelialized gingival graft, carefully explaining how this approach would provide additional support and protection to the affected area. From the very beginning, I felt I was in capable and knowledgeable hands.The surgery itself went smoothly, and I’m happy to say the results have been a great success!! The improvement is noticeable, and I feel much more confident about my gum health now.What truly stood out to me was the level of care and support during recovery. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Dr. Hygino was always quick to respond—even via WhatsApp—which made a huge difference in easing my worries.I highly recommend Dr. Hygino to anyone considering graft surgery. His expertise, approach, and patient care made all the difference in my experience!! Thank you again!!
They are very professional and caring. Highly recommended.
I have been a patient of Dr. Carine Borges at Smile Pod for many years, and I can honestly say I have the best dentist in the world. She is always honest, professional, and attentive to every detail. Dr. Carine has helped me with so many things over the years, and I have never once doubted her advice — I always felt completely confident that she would do what was truly best for me. I am so grateful to have her as my dentist and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!
Attended Magatha the hygienist today. The surgery is really nice and clean. Magatha was superb, really welcoming, professional and very thorough. Was far superior to a recent hygienist I'd seen in West London. Thank you, certainly will be back!
Dr Carolina was great, she saw me on the same day and fixed my problem. Very smooth process. I highly recommend her!
Great experience from start to finish, as always with each of my appointments. A big thank you to Dani, Dr Raj, Sara, and Rosy, as well as the rest of the team. Everyone is always so friendly, professional, and welcoming, which really puts me at ease throughout my braces journey. I’m truly grateful for the care and attention to detail, and I’m really happy with my progress so far. Highly recommend!
All the staff are very friendly and nice I would recommend anyone to go smilepod. They give you very good advice.
Patient of 2 years, staff are respectful and helpful
I’ve been going to Smilepod (Bank) for a couple of years now, and the service has always been second to none. From the warm and welcoming reception team to the dentists who consistently do an excellent job, the experience is always positive. I’m a patient of Dr Jabbal, and I’ve always received great care and professionalism. It’s a fantastic team, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Inga is an amazing professional, so careful and lovely, when it comes to teeth cleaning & polish. Highly recommend her!
