“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 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!!
Response from the owner: Dear Federica,Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review!We’re delighted to hear that your experience with Dr Hygino was so positive and that you’re happy with the outcome of your treatment. It’s wonderful to know you felt well informed, supported, and reassured throughout your care and recovery.We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to Dr Hygino. It will mean a lot to him.Thank you again for your recommendation 😊Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod
