Unique, Caring and Charismatic
I graduated from King’s College London. As well as my position at The Harley Street Dental Studio, I also underwent my dental core training at The Eastman Dental Hospital, UCL Hospital and The Great Ormond Street hospital in Oral and maxillofacial surgery.
One of my passions is mentoring young dentists for their life after university especially interviews and core professional development. Shivana has written the only dental book of its kind published in this field. I also love giving back to all students and have taken an honorary lecturer role at the Dental Institute of Guys, King’s & St Thomas’ in London.
Treatments for Patients
General Dentistry
→ Want Whiter Teeth?
Tooth whitening lightens teeth in a safe and predictable way. Coffee, Tea and red wine stains are those guilty pleasures that can leave your teeth looking stained and worn. With a proper insight to what you would like to achieve from your teeth we can remove old stains and lighten your teeth either in surgery or even at home with a custom-made individual care plan.
→ Need to Repair or Replace your Teeth?
Replacement of old, rusty fillings are a quick and simple way to rejuvenate your smile line. With a tailored individual care plan we can create the perfect look for you. The first place to start is with a full and comprehensive discussion on what you want, what your expectations are and how I can help!
→ Do you have Tooth Pain?
I am a big advocate for prevention and keeping healthcare optimum. To avoid awful toothaches and stocking up on pain medication or antibiotics it is always best to schedule dental visits in advance preferably every six months. This can help avoid those horrible toothaches that can affect your daily routine. If you have tooth pain ensure you have a dentist do a full assessment and help you in your time of year and better yet plan together for the future to ensure you do not experience this pain again.
→ Do you have Bleeding Gums?
Do not be shy of bleeding gums! Share this information with your dentist and be specific! Make a note of when it occurs, how it occurs and what tools you have put into place to help revitalise your gum strength. Bleeding gums is more common than you think and very manageable to treat. Bleeding gums can be a sign of a greater gum issue so it is a very important sign to pick up upon. The main cause of bleeding gum is the buildup of plaque at the gum line. This will lead to a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums. Plaque that is not removed will harden into tartar. Make sure you and your dentist tackle this together before it leads onto a more irreversible process.
Children’s Dentistry
Let us make dentistry fun again! Trips to the dentist is a huge milestone for our younger generation.
Offering basic oral health education, early detection of decay risk, prevention advice on diet and toothpaste products can really enhance the quality and outlook children have towards their teeth. Tips and tricks on how to maintain an overall healthy mouth can prove to impact children’s lives ensuring they are less anxious of dentistry and cope better at their dental visits.
Facial Aesthetics
Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers are a non-invasive way to rejuvenate your facial features in a safe, preventative and practical way. Contouring your facial features to enhance beautiful smiles is so important so ensure a full facial assessment is undergone by a dentist who can create a natural aesthetic result for you.

Mentoring Aspiring Dental Professionals
Jey’s Story
Jey was a DF1 student not knowing her potential and wanting to choose the best career path for her, wanting to study at the Eastman. Shivana helped Jey achieve a place at Eastman and her advice together helped Jey rank within the top 10% of applicants.
“The advice Shivana has given me has been invaluable. She has put in a great deal of time and effort in helping me determine, which path to follow after my foundation year. Her help during my dental core training interview achieved me a hospital placement at The Eastman Dental Hospital. Her honesty, selflessness and commitment is admirable. I cannot thank her enough.” – Jey Aziz
Testimonials from Dentistry
It was a great pleasure to have taught Shivana. Her enthusiasm and love of dentistry was evident very early on. She was keen to help her colleagues and was adored by her patients. Professionalism was always at the core of all her actions. She always placed her patients interests first and acted as a perfect role model for her peers. Since graduating Shivana has demonstrated a huge commitment to her profession. She has written several articles and a Text Book alongside myself to help undergraduates prepare for Dental Foundation Training. She is an avid attender of conferences and courses. Her energy knows no limits and her resilience will ensure her rapid success.
Shivana is an inspiration to her peers, and clear winner in her category. She is a committed and compassionate dentist, who builds rapport easily with patients and colleagues easily, and she is passionate about developing her clinical skills as well as her commitment to the dental profession through active charity work in the UK and abroad in Ghana. Shivana is resilient, determined and hardworking, and these personal skills have most certainly helped her get to where she is today, so early in her career. Her articles in The Young Dentist magazine are engaging and current, and I look forward to watching Shivana inspire other women within Dentistry to step up to leadership roles as she has.
