Business focus
What can a new patient expect?
Our initial consultation includes a full dental
and oral check with x-rays. After a thorough
consultation with the patient, a full written
treatment plan, including pricing, is given. We
are very aware of deals on the internet with
hidden costs, so we make sure that our plans
are transparent and patients know exactly how
much it's going to cost. Patients are given time to
go through the plan and are asked to come back
for another free consultation if they need to. We
also have a treatment co-ordinator who can go
through the treatments we offer. This has the
advantage of making patients more comfortable
in booking an appointment once they've visited
the practice and seen the surroundings.
Our prices are very reasonable and that’s
something I was very keen to keep under control.

LoveEast meets Dr Veerusha
Diah, owner of Vdental Smile
Studio in Hackney Wick
Who is Vdental and how did it all start?
I opened Vdental Smile in 2015 by myself, having
worked as a dentist in Hackney for over 10 years. I
felt that I wasn't giving my patients the best quality
treatment that I was capable of because of time
constraints, and wanted to open a surgery and
have both general and specialist care under one
roof. Since opening Vdental I have quality time
with my patients and treat them in a modern,
calm environment.
What's important to you?
The most important thing is taking enough time
to understand what the patient needs and what
outcomes are expected from them. For instance,
some patients are not at all concerned about
aesthetics and just want treatment to bring
them back to good oral health. Others want both
aesthetics and function, so it’s important that
these issues are addressed at the beginning as
this affects the way the treatment is planned.
What services do you provide?
We provide all general and specialist dental
services under one roof. Services include
general dentistry (including fillings, dentures,
crowns, etc), botox, fillers and other facial
treatments, adult clear braces and hygiene
sessions.
All patients who need specialist treatment are
treated here by one of our four specialists. This
includes oral surgery for impacted wisdom teeth
or other complicated extractions, dental implants,
sedation for nervous patients, complicated root
canal treatments, severe periodontal disease and
other gum and bone treatment, complex crown
and bridge treatment, and complex dentures.
We also accept referrals from other dental practices
in the area for specialist work.
The practice has grown over the last year and we
now have over 800 patients on our list. We also
have a monthly payment plan that many patients
take out with us, which gives them discounts on
general dental treatments
