Meet Dr Basrai

Dr Basrai is warm and inviting in his style, and he is driven by his passion for dentistry. He is a family man who welcomes you and will take time to talk to anyone who wishes to discuss their smile and general dental health.

Dr Basrai has trained in the USA with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), an international organisation dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) is the British equivalent.

Your first visit

  1. Getting to know you. We start by listening to what you would like from your smile and any worries you have about visiting the dentist.
  2. Your examination. Your dentist carries out a thorough check of your teeth and gums.
  3. Early detection. We use DIAGNOdent laser technology to help detect very small changes in your teeth early, so tooth structure can be protected and preserved.
  4. Your options. Your dentist explains any options in plain language so you can decide what is right for you.

Our team

We have a simple philosophy in our practice: our whole team are dedicated professionals here to look after you. We are a high-energy team, nicknamed the “Dave Ferrari Team” for our enthusiasm in going the extra mile to put you, our patient, first.
