The Shefford Dental Team
I’m Dr. Sesh Rao, and I took over as the owner of Stotfold Dental Clinic in 2011, after the retirement of Dr. Andi, who had a successful career here. I graduated as a dentist in India in 1994 and pursued postgraduate training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1999. I moved to England in 2000 and completed my fellowship in Dental Surgery (FDCRCS) from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh the same year.
I have a special interest in replacing missing teeth with dental implants, as well as cosmetic dentistry. I’m also passionate about sedation techniques to help anxious patients feel at ease. I attend courses regularly to stay ahead of advancements in the field and provide my patients with the best, most up-to-date care.
If you'd like to contact me directly, feel free to email me at saabestates@gmail.com.
Dr Sanaya (BDS)
Dentist
I’m Dr. Sanaya, and I’m passionate about providing high-quality dental care to patients of all ages. I graduated in India in 2011 and moved to the UK, where I passed my registration exam in 2014. Since then, I’ve been working in mixed practice and gaining experience in all areas of dentistry.
I believe in creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for every patient and strive to make each visit a positive experience. Whether it’s preventive care, restorative treatments, cosmetic procedures, or emergency services, I’m dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care.
In addition to general dentistry, I’m a provider of clear aligners through 32Co and Invisalign.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three young kids, watching movies, dancing, and indulging in my love for food.
Dr Sara
Dental Surgeon
I qualified as a dentist from Guy’s Dental Hospital in 1996, and I’ve always had a passion for all aspects of dentistry. I’m particularly enthusiastic about promoting a preventative approach to dental care in a safe and friendly environment. I’m also committed to continuous self-development and have attended many postgraduate courses.
Over the years, I’ve been involved in training both dentists and dental nurses. My areas of expertise include dental implants, oral sedation, fixed orthodontics, composite bonding, SmileFast, facial aesthetics, sleep appliances, and cases of wear.
Dr Rose
Dentist
I graduated in dentistry (BDS) from King’s College London in 2000 and started my career in the West Midlands, where I lived and worked until moving to Shefford Dental Clinic.
Since graduating, I obtained a post-graduate diploma (MFGDP) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and my keen interest in treating nervous patients led me to pursue a further diploma in Conscious Sedation (DipSed) from King’s College in 2012. With almost 20 years of experience in sedation, I can also treat anxious patients without sedation due to my natural rapport.
In my free time, I love snowboarding in the French and Swiss Alps, and I’ve also enjoyed the scenery in Whistler and Lake Tahoe. I now live in Bedfordshire with my husband and three children, enjoying long walks and bike rides in the countryside.
I’m a devout Catholic and try to live out the teachings of Jesus Christ in both my work and home life. I’m eternally grateful for all the blessings in my career and personal life.
Dr Vaibhav
Dental Therapist
I’m a dedicated dental therapist with a passion for providing patient-centered care that promotes lasting oral health for patients of all ages. I’ve received extensive training in preventive and restorative treatments and strive to make every visit a positive experience, especially for children and patients who may feel anxious about dental care.
I focus on preventative dentistry and specialize in services like cleanings, fluoride applications, sealants, and minimally invasive restorative treatments. I believe in patient education and work hard to empower my patients with the knowledge they need to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
I pride myself on my gentle approach and aim to ensure that every patient feels comfortable and supported on their journey to optimal oral health.
Elysia
Dental Therapist
I qualified as a Dental Therapist in 2020 from King’s College Hospital. I love everything about my job, especially helping patients feel at ease and preventing dental disease. I hope to expand my skills in aesthetic dentistry in the future.
Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, dining at nice restaurants, and spending time with my friends and family.
Charlene
Dental Hygienist
I graduated from the University of Essex and strive to integrate the latest advancements in dental care into my practice, ensuring that my patients receive the most effective and efficient treatments available.
I take a personalized approach to dental care, helping patients maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime. From routine cleanings to thorough stain removal (Air Polishing), I aim to make each visit comfortable and empowering.
When I’m not at work, I’m a houseplant enthusiast, a keen swimmer (I’ve recently taken up wild/outdoor swimming), and I’m pursuing an interest in clay pigeon shooting.
