Dr Pooja Tailor

Dr Pooja Tailor qualified from St. Bartholomew’s and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry with Honours in 2009. During her time there, she was also awarded several undergraduate prizes including Best Student for Part 1 and 2 written exams and the Human Health and Disease Award. Whilst completing her dentistry degree, Pooja was also general secretary of the Barts and the London Dental Society and her passion for working with children led her to be the dental representative of the Hospital Society, which was aimed at promoting oral health in primary school children through interactive sessions across schools in London.

Having completed her foundation training with the South West Dental Deanery in 2010, Pooja quickly immersed herself into the world of general practice. She has worked extensively in general dentistry and has seen a variety of NHS and private patients ranging from all ages and has undertaken both simple and complex cosmetic and restorative treatments, whilst working alongside various specialists. Whilst working in practice, Pooja continued to build on her skills by successfully gaining her Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties from the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2011.

Pooja regularly attends dental courses to keep abreast with the latest developments. Whilst she is committed to continuing postgraduate education in all aspects of dentistry, she enjoys cosmetic and orthodontic dentistry the most. As a result, she is a certified Inman Aligner™ and Quick Straight Teeth® clear braces provider. Pooja has recently joined The Smile Studios to provide her services at our practice.

Pooja’s experience in general practice has developed her into a confident practitioner and her priority is to provide high quality dental work in a very gentle and relaxing environment. Pooja always ensures an empathetic, friendly manner and adopts a patient-centred approach, placing the patients concerns at the core of her treatment. She has a great passion for treating anxious patients and is enthusiastic about treating children, giving preventative advice and providing pain-free dentistry. She believes that “....a confident smile speaks a thousand words.”
