Hi I am Gino one of your Soho dentists. I graduated in 2003 and have been part of the Smilepod team since 2012. Currently I am based 2 days a week at the Soho Studio (Poland Street). My main approach when treating a patient is to provide a friendly service, building a professional relationship dentist /client aiming to help you to have the best possible oral hygiene at home. I want my clients to feel confident and be free of decay, bleeding gums, etc. I always discuss my clients any concerns so I can identify and treat any dental issues. Once I know your teeth are healthy I would be happy to discuss cosmetic dentistry. I love helping clients to whiten their teeth and feel more confident. I have also trained in facial aesthetics so if you are interesting in anti ageing treatments get in contact. What I find most rewarding about my profession is the ability of giving someone the gift of a natural, beautiful and healthy smile.
