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 have been a client of the clinic for several years: since I had my braces in 2019. Doctor Raj was the one who gifted me straight teeth and made sure to cheer me up every time I came for my visits. The pricing of the clinic was very transparent: I knew in advance how much I would be paying for the whole package, with no surprises as additional charges. The clinic gave me the supplementary materials included in the package I paid for, as well as all the instructions on what to be doing between my sessions.I also had a pleasant experience every time i went to the clinic, all thanks to the kind and considerate receptionists, who welcomed me warmly and made me feel comfortable while I was waiting. I would meet Agneszka most of the time, so in a matter of several visits, I felt like I was visiting a familiar face. Which felt pleasant.After the experience with the braces, I became a client for my regular hygiene cleaning. I loved the gentle and caring approach by Inga Lankelyte. She made the sessions so seamless and stress-free. Since my first ever visit to her, I felt I was in good hands. Moreover, Inga would give me an honest and unbiased opinion on the condition of my teeth, making sure I don’t overdo it with treatments or try to fix what actually is in a good state. For which I am grateful.Thank you SmilePod team for the consistent service! Hope you grow and make more visitors happy with the service you offer!
Response from the owner: Dear DariaThank you so much for your lovely review and for being such a loyal client over the years! We’re so happy to hear about your great experiences with our team.Dr Raj will be thrilled to know he made your braces journey a success and kept you smiling during your visits. We’re also glad that our pricing and care felt clear and stress-free throughout the process.It’s wonderful to hear that our reception team and I made you feel so welcome. It’s really important to us that every visit feels friendly and comfortable.We’re also delighted that Inga has made your hygiene appointments so smooth and reassuring. Her gentle and honest approach is something we’re very proud of, and we’re so glad she’s been able to help you feel confident in your dental care.Thank you for your kind words and support.

I am writing this jointly with my friend Alfredo Cinti, who was in urgent need of dentures. The care he received throughout the process from Dr Ilze Van Der Merwe (and also from the nurse who assisted her) has been truly exceptional, with an outcome beyond expectations. She listened to Alfredo patiently, and was able to fulfil all his wishes with patience and kindness.I have also always received excellent hygienist care from the practice.Highly recommended!
Response from the owner: Dear Panayotis,Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that Alfredo had such a positive experience with Dr Ilze Van Der Merwe and her assistant, and that his treatment exceeded expectations. It's great to know you've also received excellent care from our hygienists. Your recommendation means a lot to us!Best regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod
I can't say enough great things about Dr Stephen Nkansah and his wonderful assistant at Smilepod Soho.Over the course of my treatment, Dr Stephen has not only significantly improved the health of my teeth but also the appearance of my smile. From my first appointment, Dr Stephen took the time to carefully explain my treatment plan, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. He is an incredibly skilled professional and very patient. During my Invisalign treatment, I had a special request to remove my attachments for an upcoming event. Dr Stephen was incredibly understanding and supportive. Not only did they accommodate my request, but they also made sure to replace the attachments afterward without any hesitation. I gladly recommend Dr Stephen and the Soho Smilepod team to colleagues and friends.
Response from the owner: Dear Liyana,Thank you so much for your glowing review and kind words about Dr Stephen Nkansah and our Smilepod Soho team! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience and that Dr Stephen not only improved the health of your teeth but also enhanced your smile.We’re so glad he was able to accommodate your special request during your Invisalign treatment.
