Dental Studio in Miami – Bringing the Latest Smile Design Innovations to Our Patients

At Dental Studio, we believe exceptional patient care comes from never standing still.

That’s why our founders, Dr Usha Ramjas and Dr Neresh Behari, have recently travelled to Miami, USA 🇺🇸 to attend the highly acclaimed DSD Case Acceptance Mastery Course, led by globally recognised pioneer Christian Coachman and the Digital Smile Design (DSD) Team.

But what does this mean for you as a patient?

Investing in the Very Best – For You

Dentistry is constantly evolving, with exciting new technologies, techniques, and approaches helping clinicians deliver more predictable, personalised and confidence-building outcomes than ever before.

At Dental Studio, we are passionate about staying at the forefront of modern dentistry. By investing in world-class education and learning from internationally recognised leaders, we ensure our patients benefit from the latest advancements in treatment planning, communication, and digital smile transformation.

This latest training experience focused on Digital Smile Design Case Acceptance, helping clinicians create an even better patient journey, making treatment easier to understand, more visual, and more collaborative.

Helping You Visualise Your Future Smile

One of the biggest challenges patients often face is understanding what is possible and feeling confident in making treatment decisions.

The DSD philosophy is centred around helping patients to:

Clearly understand their treatment options
Visualise their future smile before treatment begins
Feel empowered and confident in their decisions
Experience a more personalised journey
Achieve results that are tailored to their goals, lifestyle and aspirations

Using digital technology, smile planning tools and enhanced communication techniques, patients can better see the possibilities for their smile and understand how treatment can be tailored specifically for them.

More Than Dentistry – It’s About Confidence

Reflecting on the experience, Dr Neresh shared:

“For us, this isn’t just about dentistry. It’s about creating a better patient journey, helping patients understand their options clearly, visualise their future smile, and feel confident about their treatment decisions.”

This philosophy perfectly aligns with everything we stand for at Dental Studio, building trust, creating confidence, and delivering dentistry that feels supportive, transparent and genuinely exciting.

Bringing New Ideas Back to Dental Studio

Both Dr Usha and Dr Neresh are excited to bring fresh ideas, techniques and enhanced patient experiences back to our practices and of course share with the team.

Whether you are considering Invisalign, composite bonding, smile makeovers, restorative treatment or simply exploring what options may be available to you, our commitment remains the same:

To combine exceptional clinical expertise, the latest technology, and a personalised approach to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

At Dental Studio, learning never stops because you deserve the very best.

A Day in the Life of our Treatment Co-ordinator and Dental Nurse Extraordinaire, Cerys!

When people think about visiting the dentist, they usually think about the dentist themselves. But behind every smooth appointment is a whole team working together to make sure patients feel comfortable, informed and cared for.
My name is Cerys, and I work as both a Treatment Co-ordinator and a Dental Nurse. It’s a role I love because no two days are ever the same. I get to support our clinical team while also helping patients understand their treatment options and feel confident about their dental journey.
Here’s what a typical day looks like for me.

Starting the Day

My day usually begins by checking the diary and preparing the surgeries for the morning appointments. As a dental nurse, infection control and organisation are really important, so I make sure everything is sterilised, stocked and ready for the team.
One of the things I enjoy most about mornings is greeting our patients and helping them feel at ease. Many people feel nervous about visiting the dentist, so a friendly face and a calm environment can make a big difference.

My favourite part of starting the day as a dental nurse is the sense of routine and preparation, checking everything is in place, making sure the surgery is fully stocked, and knowing the day is set up to run smoothly from the very first patient.

Supporting Patients as a Treatment Co-ordinator

Part of my role as a Treatment Co-ordinator is spending time with patients discussing their treatment plans. Dentistry can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if someone hasn’t visited the dentist in a while or needs more complex treatment.
I sit down with patients to explain their options, answer any questions they may have and help them understand what their treatment journey will look like. Whether it’s cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatment or simply improving oral health, it’s rewarding to see patients leave feeling reassured and informed.

I particularly enjoy assisting with Invisalign treatment. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the transformation of patients’ smiles using something as simple and discreet as clear aligners. I also really value the hands-on aspect of the process, from scanning patients to being actively involved throughout their treatment journey.

Back in the Surgery

Alongside my Treatment Co-ordinator role, I also work closely with Dr Usha Ramjas. This means assisting with our Invisalign patients and making sure everything runs smoothly during appointments.
Being both a dental nurse and a Treatment Co-ordinator helps me understand the full patient journey, from their first consultation to the final result. It also means I can answer questions more confidently and help patients feel supported throughout their treatment.

Why I Love My Role

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing the difference dental treatment can make to someone’s confidence. Whether it’s helping a nervous patient feel comfortable or seeing the smile on someone’s face at the end of their treatment, those moments make the role really special.
Working in dentistry is all about teamwork, and I’m proud to be part of a team that focuses on patient care, trust and helping people achieve healthier smiles.

Invisalign® Cost, Treatment Time & Does It Hurt?

If you are considering Invisalign treatment, you are certainly not alone. More adults and teenagers than ever are choosing clear aligners to achieve a straighter, more confident smile without traditional metal braces.

At Dental Studio, some of the most common questions we hear include:

How much does Invisalign cost?
Does Invisalign hurt?
How long does Invisalign treatment take?

In this guide, we answer these frequently asked questions to help you decide whether Invisalign is the right option for you.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

One of the first things patients ask about is the cost of treatment.

The price of Invisalign can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners required, and the expected treatment duration. Typically, Invisalign treatment ranges from approximately £2,700 to £4,000.

Your Invisalign journey at Dental Studio begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess:

Teeth crowding
Gaps between teeth
Bite alignment
Overall smile goals

Following your assessment, we create a personalised treatment plan along with a clear breakdown of costs, ensuring complete transparency from the outset.

What Can Affect Invisalign Pricing?

Several factors can influence the overall investment, including:

Minor or complex tooth movement
Length of treatment
Number of aligners required
Additional cosmetic or restorative treatments
Retainers following treatment

Many patients are pleasantly surprised to find that flexible finance options can make treatment more manageable.

Does Invisalign Hurt?

This is one of the most common concerns for new patients.

The good news is that Invisalign is generally considered significantly more comfortable than traditional braces. The aligners are custom-made from smooth, clear plastic, meaning there are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation.

Some patients may experience:

Mild pressure
Tightness when changing aligners
Slight tenderness during the first few days

These sensations are completely normal and are simply a sign that your aligners are gently moving your teeth into their new positions.

How Long Does Invisalign Discomfort Last?

Most patients find that any discomfort settles within a few days of starting a new aligner.

Helpful tips include:

Changing aligners before bedtime
Staying hydrated
Using orthodontic chewies if recommended
Taking mild pain relief if required

Most people adapt very quickly and comfortably incorporate Invisalign into daily life.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies depending on your individual smile goals and the amount of tooth movement required.

Typical treatment times are:

Minor cosmetic corrections: 3–6 months
Moderate cases: 6–12 months
More complex cases: 12–18 months

At Dental Studio, we use advanced digital scanning technology and Invisalign smile simulation software to provide a clearer estimate during your consultation.

What Can Affect Treatment Time?

Several factors can influence how quickly Invisalign works:

Complexity of tooth movement
Wearing aligners consistently
Following clinical guidance
Attending regular review appointments

For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day.

Why More Adults Are Choosing Invisalign

Invisalign continues to grow in popularity because it offers:

Nearly invisible aligners
Removable trays for eating and drinking
Easier brushing and flossing
Fewer emergency appointments
Greater confidence during treatment

Many adults appreciate being able to straighten their teeth discreetly while maintaining professional and social confidence.

Expert Invisalign Care at Dental Studio

At Dental Studio, treatment is led by award-winning Invisalign provider Dr Usha Ramjas, who is recognised as one of the top 1% Invisalign providers in the world. This prestigious status reflects the exceptional number of successful Invisalign cases she has completed and her extensive experience in creating life-changing smile transformations.

However, Invisalign is just one part of your overall smile journey.

Our multidisciplinary team works closely together to help you achieve the best possible outcome, whether your treatment involves Invisalign, whitening, composite bonding, implants, or general restorative care. We are committed not only to improving your smile, but also to supporting your long-term oral health through ongoing dental examinations and hygiene appointments, helping you maintain your results for years to come.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign can successfully treat many common orthodontic concerns, including:

Crooked teeth
Gaps
Crowding
Mild bite concerns
Overbites and underbites

The best way to find out if Invisalign is suitable for you is to arrange a consultation with our experienced team at Dental Studio.

We are proud to help patients achieve healthier, straighter, more confident smiles with personalised Invisalign treatment plans tailored to their individual needs.
