Dr Vaishali Shah 
I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2014 and have been passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centred dental care ever since. I grew up in Kenya before moving to the UK, which was a big change, but it has given me the opportunity to meet and care for patients from many different backgrounds.
One of the things I enjoy most about my job is helping patients who feel nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist. I believe that good communication and a warm, empathetic approach can make a real difference in helping patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their treatment.
Professionally, my greatest satisfaction comes from getting patients out of pain and saving natural teeth wherever possible. I have completed a Diploma in Primary Care Oral Surgery with the Royal College of Surgeons, as well as a Diploma in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry, which allows me to combine surgical skills with restoring healthy, confident smiles.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy keeping active with early morning gym classes, spending time with my toddler daughter and our dog, and travelling and cooking with my husband.
