Dr. Shah speaks English, Hindi and Gujarati. Reception can help confirm availability and whether an appointment type is suitable for the concern being assessed.
Care focus
Tell reception the problem you want assessed. After the assessment, the options are explained so you can weigh them up before deciding anything.
If you are weighing up different treatment options, you do not need to decide before the appointment. Start with the problem you want assessed, then use the findings to compare what may be appropriate.
You can book for routine care or a specific concern. These are some of the areas that may come up during an appointment; what is appropriate still depends on the assessment.
01
For check-ups, oral-hygiene advice, tooth concerns, gum questions and practical prevention planning.
02
For patients asking about appearance, scanning, treatment planning and whether cosmetic options are suitable.
03
For early conversations about missing teeth, suitability assessment, treatment stages and alternatives where relevant.
