The Stotfold Dental Team
Dr Sesh Rao
P BDS MDS FDSRCS (Edin)
Principal Dentist
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.

I’m Dr. Karishma, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from King’s College London. After completing my training in Surrey, I worked in a large practice where I gained a lot of experience and developed my skills.
I have a friendly, professional, and relaxed approach that helps even the most nervous patients feel at ease. I take the time to listen carefully and explain the best treatment options for each individual.
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, but I’m especially passionate about cosmetic and restorative treatments. I’ve also completed my MJDF qualification and am keen to continue my post-graduate education.

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.
