“Welcome to Smilepod Moorgate! I am Lica, the Studio Manager at Moorgate.
I have been part of Smilepod since 2020. My journey in the field of dentistry began more than 15 years ago, and I have since then worked in various roles, from dental nurse to management. My passion for dentistry and dedication to my career have led me to gain extensive experience and knowledge within both Dentistry and Cosmetics.
I am incredibly passionate about customer service. As Practice Manager, I utilize my warm and friendly approach to make all patients feel welcome and at home within Smilepod as soon as they arrive.
At Smilepod, I focus on the day-to-day operation of the clinic and ensuring that the very highest standards of patient care are maintained. I am always available to address any concerns or issues our patients may have, and I go above and beyond to make sure they are satisfied with their visit.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends.”

Hi, I’m Devi, and I hail from Nepal, the home of the majestic Mt. Everest. My journey as a Dental Nurse began in 2019, and it’s a path I’ve never looked back from. In 2023, I had the pleasure of joining the Smilepod Moorgate team, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to my profession thanks to the wonderful people I work with.
If I were to pinpoint the most fulfilling aspect of my job, it’s undoubtedly the opportunity to care for our patients and ensure they feel comfortable from the moment they step into our practice until they leave. Establishing this rapport with our dentists is another source of satisfaction, as it enables us to work seamlessly as a team and deliver the best possible experience to our patients.
Outside of my professional life, I’m an avid hiker who loves exploring the great outdoors. I also have a passion for trying out various types of cuisine and, most importantly, I relish spending quality time with my church family.
Every day, I look forward to the chance to create a positive impact and bring smiles to the faces of those I encounter.
Hi, I’m Simone, originally hailing from Brazil. I have proudly served as a Dental Nurse at Smilepod since March 2022. My journey in the world of dental nursing commenced when I was just 17, and it’s a role that resonates with me naturally.
I would describe myself as a kind, helpful, and understanding individual. Caring for our patients and addressing their needs comes as second nature to me. I take immense pride in ensuring that our patients feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed within our clinic.
My job brings me immense joy, as it means I get to work alongside a diverse team of specialists and engage with wonderful people on a daily basis. What truly warms my heart in my current role is witnessing the profound impact that dentistry can have on someone’s life, especially when restorative treatments help self-conscious patients regain their confidence.
Beyond the practice, I savour socializing and cherish moments spent with family and friends. You can often find me at church, whipping up delightful dishes in the kitchen, unwinding, or embarking on adventures to discover exciting new places.
I look forward to each day with a smile, knowing that I have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of those I meet.
