A Night to Remember at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025

On Friday, our team had the pleasure of attending the prestigious Private Dentistry Awards in Mayfair, London, alongside our wonderful principal dentists’ Usha, Neresh and several members of the Dental Studio team. It was an inspiring evening celebrating excellence, dedication, and passion within the dental profession.

While we did not take home the award for our category this year, we truly couldn’t be prouder. The standard of finalists was exceptional, and being shortlisted among so many outstanding practices and professionals was an achievement in itself. We were in great company, and to us, Usha is a winner every single day for the commitment, leadership, and care she brings to our practice and our patients.

This experience has motivated us even more. Next year, we’re aiming higher and planning to work more with the team to enter multiple categories, showcasing the talents, growth, and dedication of everyone. Although awards are wonderful and fun, what matters most, however, is what we strive for every day:

  • Continuous clinical excellence
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Personal growth
  • A supportive and inspiring team environment
  • Delivering the very best care for our patients

For us, it’s not all about winning, it’s about challenging ourselves, improving, and always aiming for more on behalf of our patients.

Most importantly, we had an absolutely fantastic evening celebrating together, not only our own team achievements but those of colleagues across the profession. We left feeling proud, inspired, and excited for everything still to come. There was a lot of dancing!

Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and delivering outstanding care!

Celebrating at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025!

The team at Dental Studio is thrilled to be attending the Private Dentistry Awards in London on 21st November 2025 — and we’re especially excited to be celebrating our not-so-secret nomination for our wonderful Dr Usha!

While this event is the perfect opportunity to recognise Usha’s incredible dedication and contribution, it’s also a moment to celebrate the whole Dental Studio team. Every single day, our team works tirelessly to support our patients, ensuring their needs are met, helping them maintain healthy smiles, and, for many, transforming their confidence and quality of life.

There’s so much that happens behind the scenes in any dental practice,  from clinical excellence to compassionate care, but what truly makes the difference is that everyone here shares the same passion and goal: putting our patients first.

So, as we prepare to raise a glass (or perhaps two or three, if Dr Neresh is involved! ), we’ll be celebrating not only Usha’s achievement, but also our entire team  and, of course, you, our patients, who make everything we do worthwhile.

Stay tuned,  we’ll be sharing updates from the awards soon!

The Secret Is Out! Dr. Usha Reaches the Private Dentistry Awards Finals

We’ve been keeping a little secret… and now it’s finally time to share it!

Behind the scenes here at Dental Studio, our team quietly came together to enter Dr. Usha into the prestigious Private Dentistry Awards, without her initially knowing, until it was too late! Those who know Usha will understand why: she’s never one to blow her own trumpet. Her focus is always on her patients, her team, the practice and of course her family, not on personal recognition. But we all knew it was time her dedication, compassion, and leadership were celebrated.

Our entry came straight from the heart. We wanted to recognise everything Usha stands for:

  • Her unwavering dedication to patient care and her constant drive to learn, grow, and refine her skills
  • Her integrity and the strong ethical principles that guide every decision she makes
  • Her inspiring leadership. balancing the demands of running a busy business while supporting every member of the team (and her family) with warmth and compassion

To say we’re proud is an understatement. Reaching the finals of the Private Dentistry Awards is an incredible achievement, but for us, this has always been about something deeper , letting Usha know just how much she is valued and appreciated every single day.
Dentistry can be a tough industry behind the scenes, from patient communication and coordination with our clinical experts, to maintaining precise records, meeting compliance standards, and supporting both the emotional and professional growth of our team. Through it all, Usha leads with compassion, calmness, and clarity.

We’re not boasting, just genuinely proud to work alongside someone who inspires us daily. So yes, the secret is out… and we think Usha may just forgive us and Dr Neresh, for being so sneaky (eventually!).

We’ll keep you all posted on the awards, but whatever happens, this moment is about celebrating her.

The 30-Minute Rule – Your Secret to Aligner Success

If you’re on your journey to a straighter smile with clear aligners, you already know how transformative they can be, discreet, comfortable, and effective.
But there’s one golden rule that can make all the difference between a flawless result and a frustrating delay: the 30-minute rule.

What is the 30-Minute Rule?

Simply put, after eating or drinking anything other than water, wait at least 30 minutes before putting your aligners back in.

That half-hour break gives your mouth time to:

  • Let your teeth re-harden: When you eat, acids temporarily soften your enamel. Putting your aligners back too soon can trap those acids, increasing your risk of staining or decay.
  • Rehydrate: Aligners fit best when your teeth are clean and dry, keeping them snug and comfortable.
  • Freshen up: Those 30 minutes are perfect for brushing, rinsing, and giving your aligners a quick clean before they go back in.

Think of it as a mini reset for your mouth, your smile will thank you!

Caring for Your Aligners: Keep Them Crystal Clear

Your aligners are like a custom-made piece of technology for your smile, they need a little care to stay at their best. Here’s how to keep them sparkling clean and odour-free:

  1. Rinse often. Each time you remove your aligners, give them a quick rinse with cool water to prevent buildup.
  2. Brush gently. Use a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste!) to clean your aligners twice daily.
  3. Soak for a deep clean. Regularly soak your aligners to remove stubborn debris and bacteria.
  4. Store them safely. Always pop your aligners into their case when not in use, never wrap them in a tissue (that’s how aligners mysteriously end up in the bin!).

Introducing: Zima Dental Pod®

We’re excited to share that Dental Studio now partners with Zima Dental Pod®, a compact, clever cleaning system that makes aligner care effortless.

Using ultrasonic cleaning technology, the Zima Dental Pod® gives your aligners (and retainers!) a deep, hygienic clean, all at the touch of a button.

Next time you’re in, ask Dr. Usha or the team about the Zima Dental Pod®  and how it can fit into your aligner routine. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference to your oral health, and keeps your smile fresh and photo-ready.

The Bottom Line

Following the 30-minute rule and caring for your aligners properly helps you:

  • Stay on track with your treatment
  • Prevent dental issues
  • Keep your aligners clear and comfortable

At Dental Studio, we’re here to make your aligner journey smooth, simple, and smile-worthy from your first tray to your final reveal. With care that’s as precise as your aligners!

Behind the Scenes at Dental Studio

What Makes Our Team Shine

When you walk into Dental Studio, you’re greeted with a warm smile, a friendly chat, and the reassurance that you’re in safe hands. From the outside, it may look like everything runs seamlessly and we like to keep it that way! But behind the scenes, there’s a whole hive of activity, dedication, and teamwork that keeps the wheels turning and makes your patient experience what it is.

Think of us like swans gliding across a pond, calm, elegant, and reassuring on the surface… while under the water, our little legs are paddling furiously to keep everything moving!

Our Clinicians, Therapists and Hygienists

This is where expertise meets care. Our clinical team are not just here to fix teeth, they’re here to listen to your needs, guide you, and ensure every patient understands the options available. From preventative care to restorative treatments, their goal is always the same. Providing the very best outcome, specifically tailored to each individual.

Reception and Front of House

If the clinicians are the foundation, our reception team is the beating heart. They’re the voices you hear on the phone, the smiles that greet you warmly, and the calm reassurance when things feel overwhelming. They juggle calls, manage appointments, finance arrangements, and endless queries all while making sure every patient feels welcome and cared for. Quite simply, they keep us connected.

Our Nurses and Treatment Coordinators

The unsung heroes of Dental Studio! These are the angels who prepare for each day, manage the patient journey, and ensure our clinicians are supported every step of the way. With superhuman organisation, resilience, and calm, they keep our standards sky-high and our days running smoothly, all while keeping the dentists in check, which is a task in itself!

Management Team

You might not see them often, but our management team is always there, quietly steering the ship. From compliance, payroll, staff management, and equipment maintenance to KPIs, meetings, training and marketing, they keep everything running smoothly in the background. They are the listeners, problem-solvers, and guides who hold everything together.

Our Extended Family

It doesn’t stop there! From implant specialists and marketing experts to our cleaning team and external partners, so many wonderful people contribute to making your experience the best it can be. Each one plays a vital role in ensuring Dental Studio isn’t just a place you visit, it’s a place you feel genuinely cared for.

More Than a Team

What truly makes Dental Studio special isn’t just the hard work (though there’s plenty of that!), it’s the spirit of collaboration, the fun and laughter along the way, the helping hands, and the way everyone lifts each other up on the tough days. We’re not perfect, and it’s not always plain sailing, but together we create something unique, a supportive, resilient, and dedicated team working for the benefit of our patients.

And Most Importantly… You

At the very centre of Dental Studio is you, our patients. You are the reason we do what we do, and the reason each of us has chosen this profession.

Every phone call, every room prepared, every appointment, every smile, it’s all with you in mind. Our greatest joy is seeing you start your journey with us as a patient and leave as a friend.

You are the biggest part of our Dental Studio family. You’re not just why we get up in the morning, but why we strive to keep growing, improving, and providing the very best care we can.

So next time you visit, know this, behind the calm reassurance you see on the surface, there’s a whole team working passionately behind the scenes. All because of you, and for you.

Celebrating Success: Imogen’s Journey from Trainee to Qualified Dental Nurse at Dental Studio

At Dental Studio, we believe that behind every qualified dental nurse is a team committed to support, growth, and encouragement. We’re so proud to celebrate the achievements of our newly qualified dental nurse, Imogen, who has shared her inspiring journey with us. Her dedication, hard work, and passion for patient care are a true reflection of the values we uphold and a testament to what can be achieved through teamwork and mentorship.

Read on to hear Imogen’s story in her own words.

“Two years ago, I started my journey at Dental Studio,  and what a journey it’s been! I’m incredibly proud (and still a little in shock!) to now be a qualified dental nurse. Looking back, I feel so grateful for the support, encouragement, and opportunities I’ve had along the way.

From the moment I joined the team, I was welcomed with open arms. I’ve had the chance to work alongside some amazing clinicians who’ve all played a part in my growth. Whether it was working with Emma, our lead hygienist, or assisting Dr Emmanouil, Dr Behari, or Dr Usha Ramjas, each one of them has taught me something different and valuable. I’ve gained so much confidence, knowledge, and experience just by being around such a skilled and supportive team.

One of the most exciting parts of my journey has been the opportunity to grow into a more specialised role. I now work closely with Dr Usha Ramjas, focusing on Invisalign treatments. I’ve learned to take patient scans and clinical photographs, and I’ve even started seeing my own consultations as a treatment co-ordinator, something I never imagined I’d be doing so soon! It’s both exciting and empowering to feel trusted in this role, and it’s really deepened my passion for what I do.

What I love most about working at Dental Studio isn’t just the career progression, although that’s been amazing, but the people. We’ve genuinely become like a little family. We support each other, we laugh together, and we always maintain that perfect balance of professionalism and fun.

Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come and even more excited about what’s ahead. Thank you to everyone at Dental Studio for believing in me and helping me find my path. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next. ”

Reflecting on an Unforgettable Open Day at Dental Studio

Wow – what an incredible day!
Our recent open day was nothing short of amazing, and we wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our wonderful patients who joined us, as well as a very warm welcome to the many new faces we had the pleasure of meeting!

We designed the event to be a special blend of connection and celebration, a chance to introduce prospective patients to the treatments we offer at Dental Studio, while also honouring those who have completed their smile journeys with us. Whether it was Invisalign, Composite Bonding, Dental Implants or more. The day gave us an opportunity to take time and listen to our patients’ stories following their treatment, their reasons for seeking treatment, their experiences throughout, and the transformative impact on their lives.

And what stories they were.
There were emotional moments, heartfelt smiles, and plenty of laughter. Often, the hustle and bustle of daily life means we don’t get the chance to pause and reflect. But this day gave us that moment to celebrate our patients, to take time, and to acknowledge how life-changing their journeys have been. It reminded us why we all love what we do.

It was so special that we’ve made a decision, every future event will include time dedicated to celebrating our amazing patients. You are the heart of everything we do, and we want to continue showing our appreciation for trusting the Dental Studio team to be part of your story.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing some of these inspiring journeys across our social media platforms, so keep an eye out. We hope their experiences encourage those of you considering treatment to take the first step. Your story could be the next one we celebrate.

Book your FREE consultation today or do come along to our next event planned for September 2025!
Whether you’re looking to enhance your smile, improve your oral health, or explore full smile transformations, we’re here for you. Our dedicated team works collaboratively to create beautiful, healthy results, and we’d love to be part of your journey.
