Following graduation, Yasmin immediately became a member of the prestigious Faculty of Dental Surgery, an elite group of dental professionals who are recognised as leaders in their field. She also earned a Postgraduate Certificate in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry, which has helped her to develop outstanding expertise in the art of creating beautiful smiles.

Yasmin is passionate about providing the highest quality dental care to her patients and has particular interest in cosmetic dentistry. She is highly skilled in a range of treatments, including Invisalign, composite bonding, veneers, and smile makeovers.

In addition to clinical work, Yasmin is a respected authority in the field of cosmetic dentistry.

Chirag or "Chiggs" as he is commonly known, graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2014. As a student he won an array of awards related to his interests in dentistry which restores a patient's ability to eat, whilst looking aesthetically beautiful.

Realising the positive impact he could have on his community through artistry, education and quality dentistry, Chiggs sought additional training from the very best mentors in the UK. After completing his foundation year in Heswall, he moved back to his family home in Wolverhampton for his mum's good food, and to work as a Senior House Officer at Birmingham community services and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Here, he diversified his skills, assisting patients with additional needs, anxiety, trauma and cancer.

His love for the city of Liverpool meant that very soon, he was back in the North-west, where he perfected the art of creating confident smiles. Chiggs has worked in high-level private practice ever since and has completed hundreds of smile-makeovers using techniques which mean as much natural tooth-tissue is preserved.

Chiggs achieves confident smiles in a minimally-invasive way using treatments such as tooth-straightening, whitening, composite bonding and porcelain veneers. Often he talks about his "ABC" technique which means "Alignment, Bleach and Composite bond".

His dedication to his community and quality craftmanship was recognised at the Private Dentistry Awards, where he won "Best Young Dentist Northwest 2022". He loved the recognition he received on the night, but says he loved the pride on his parent's face, and dancing so much more. He has now moved back to the midlands to be closer to his parents, and to share the knowledge and skills he has crafted over the last 10 years.

Chiggs ensures he stays on top of the very latest techniques to improve the quality of the care he provides his patients, and is currently in his final year of a Master's degree at the King's College London studying Smile rehabilitation using Crowns, Bridges, Veneers, Composite, Implants and Dentures.

Outside of dentistry Chiggs has a passion for cooking and wishes to write a cookbook in honour of his Mum's recipes someday. You can learn more about Chiggs on Instagram @dr.chiggs (his instagram reels are always showing F1, travel, teeth, kittens, food and photography!).
