Uppal has been practicing out of Harley Street for over 18 years, and during this time, has become a leading name in dental healthcare. She decided to expand her private practice and bring her extensive experience and outstanding knowledge closer to home with the launch of a family practice in Beaconsfield. 

Shel graduated from Guy’s Dental Hospital in 1998, with University distinctions, going on to achieve a wealth of qualifications including a Masters in Clinical Dentistry from the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute, University College London (UCL). This saw her earn a place on the General Dental Council’s Specialist Register as a Prosthodontist. 

Today, Uppal uses this experience to not only practice dentistry to suit patients of all ages but also to teach at the Eastman Institute, UCL. Her ongoing role in clinical and academic research enables her to remain abreast of the latest research and developments in dental healthcare and apply them to enhance and broaden the services offered to her own patients.

During her time in Harley Street, Uppal’s specialism in Prosthodontics has meant that she has become the first port of call for clients requiring challenging or complicated prosthodontic procedures, as well as implants and restorative care. Her special interests include treating extensive tooth wear with composite bonding techniques, managing  full mouth rehabilitations with treatments including composite bonding, onlays, crowns, veneers and implant, as well as simple and complex implant dentistry.  She also has extensive experience in smile makeovers involving tooth whitening, composite bonding and full mouth veneers. 

Whilst her qualifications and accolades demonstrate both her commitment to the profession and her skills as a clinician, Uppal’s main focus is to ensure her practice offers patients the best treatment possible in a beautiful, calm and welcoming environment.

Being a mother to two teenage boys, Uppal has also become extremely interested in the unique requirements of children’s dental care, providing advice on concerns such as the importance of fluoride in the prevention of dental decay and accidental dental injuries relating to growing teeth, as well as more practical services including the fitting of high quality mouth guards for sporting activities. Working alongside her  in-house specialist orthodontist they are able to treat children and teenagers with more complicated jaw issues and congenitally missing teeth, creating a huge beneficial impact, something they both find very rewarding.

Sorriso Dentistry, Beaconsfield launched in 2016, and its success is all down to the experienced team of general and specialist dentists working together, with a very caring and knowledgeable team of hygienists, ensuring exceptional patient care. Uppal and her team look forward  to welcoming you and your family to the practice.

With over 20 years’ experience in London’s private dental sector, and a member of the British Society of Restorative Dentistry, Dipan has become a keen advocate of minimally invasive dentistry.

Dipan has a wealth of experience in all aspects of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. This approach has allowed him to achieve excellent functional and aesthetic results for his patients without sacrificing precious tooth structure, and yet with minimal trauma or discomfort. He has a special interest in the management of extensive tooth wear and composite bonding to achieve both a beautiful but also functional smile. 

Prior to Sorriso, Dipan was lead dentist at a prominent dental practice in the heart of the City of London. He played a key role in opening and establishing what has become an extremely successful practice, working alongside a team of highly talented specialists in treating a thriving client list including many high profile names. Before this, Dipan ran a successful family practice in West London, having graduated from Guys Dental Hospital in 1998.

Dipan is passionate about embracing the latest advancements in dental healthcare and keeping up to date with new and emerging techniques and innovative approaches to improve the patient experience. In 2006 he gained a postgraduate Master’s degree in Conservative Dentistry with distinction from the renowned Eastman Dental Institute, UCL.

Sorriso Dentistry, Beaconsfield launched in 2016, and its success is all down to the experienced team of general and specialist dentists working together, with a very caring and knowledgeable team of hygienists, ensuring exceptional patient care. Dipan and his team look forward  to welcoming you and your family to the practice.

Sarovi has over 20 years of clinical experience and has been teaching periodontics to dentists, hygienists and therapists for over a decade.

It is her understanding and philosophy that sets her apart. She centres it around 3 aspects: Her care is always ‘Patient centred’, treatment is always 'Minimally invasive’ and her management of patients is always ‘Evidence based.’

In building a relationship based on respect and compassion, patients feel motivated and in control of their periodontal health.

Natalie was Uppal’s dental nurse almost 25 years ago, working alongside her for 4 years before Uppal left practice to commence her specialist training programme.

She had a break from dentistry whilst caring for her Mum full-time, and raising 2 young sons, but with recent changes in circumstances she has been keen to resume the role. It is a pleasure to be able to have her choose us to support her return to dentistry and we are confident she will be an asset; she brings her care, compassion and long standing experience to the team, alongside her infectious laugh and obsession with tidying (who are we to complain).

Natalie works with us on a part-time basis. Away from Sorriso, she enjoys spending time with her 2 sons, watching over her husbands’ cooking and keeping up to date with current affairs.
