Our Team

I qualified in 2000 with distinction and honors  from Mangalore University, India and worked for few years in general practice. I completed the Statutory Examination ORE by General Dental Council UK in 2008 and attained post graduate qualifications Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery(MFDS) of Royal College Glasgow in 2010 and MCGDent of Royal College England in 2011.

I worked as an associate in various practices during which period I gained wealth of experience in general dental practice dealing with patients of all ages and different treatment needs.

I realised my dream of owning my practice in 2012 when I bought well established dental practice on 63 Causeyside Street, Paisley and renamed it as Finesse Dental Care. I enjoy my role as owner of the practice as this has given me a wonderful opportunity not just to broaden my clinical skills but to develop the administration and business skills of dentistry. Having owned the practice for nearly 12 years I feel that I have been part of my patient's dental journey for a considerable time. My aim is to provide excellent dental care to our patients and we are dedicated to providing highest degree of patient comfort. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry but have to admit my special interests are minimally invasive dentistry, endodontics and cosmetic dentistry. I regularly attend post graduate courses to keep up with the constantly evolving techniques and materials in dentistry.  I have recently completed Indirect Posterior teeth restorations course by David Gerdolle where I learnt principles of inlay and onlay preparation which is more conservative of tooth structure. I am very eager to apply the newly acquired skills into practice. I have also attended Oral surgery course by Tamer Theodossy where we were taught the art of dealing with complex extraction cases. Having attended Restorative courses by renowned dentists such as Jason Smithson and Attiq Rahman I have managed to enhance my technique for placing composite and metal free Emax and Zirconia restorations.

I strongly believe and advocate preventive dentistry as it is the cornerstone for good oral health.

Outwith dentistry, I like cooking for my family and friends, travelling abroad and exploring new places with my husband and our two daughters.

BDS, MMedSci Rest Dent University of Sheffield 1999

I graduated in 1993 from India and obtained Masters in Restorative Dentistry [MMedSci] from University of Sheffield in 1999.  After a short career span in Bahrain, I moved to England in 2005. The same year I obtained Membership [MFDS] with Royal College of Surgeon, Edinburgh. After 15 years  of NHS and  private general  dental practice in England, I relocated to Scotland in 2019. In 2022, I completed a Certificate in Facilitating  Learning in Healthcare practice from University of Central Lancashire [UCLan] due to my interest in teaching. 

Clinically, I have a special interest in cosmetic dentistry. I believe in educating my patients so they have a complete understanding of their dental needs and the treatment they receive. I enjoy providing a high standard of general dentistry to my patients with a focus on prevention. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling with my family, photography and music.

I qualified as a Dental Therapist/Hygienist in 2020 and came to Finesse Dental Care in April 2023. I am here every Tuesday doing a mixture of hygiene and restorative work. I love helping patients get on top of their oral health. I worked in Australia as a dental nurse before coming back to Scotland to complete my degree.

I enjoy going on trips around Scotland in my tent box with my dogs-even if the weather isn't great!
