DENTIST | GDC number 78419

Andrew is our advanced implant dentist. His passion is transforming the lives of his patients, who often had lost hope before meeting him and embarking on a journey together. Andrew says there is always a way!

He devotes his clinical time to cases involving dental implants, crowns, and full-mouth rehabilitation, restoring beauty and function to patients with complex dental problems.

He routinely carries out immediate implants for single teeth and whole-mouth tooth replacement. We employ all modern techniques, including bone grafting and fitting both fixed and removable (implant-supported) dentures.

Andrew lives in Colchester and has been involved in implant dentistry since 2004, successfully placing thousands of implants. His focus is always on long-term success, so we utilise only the best implant system and collaborate with the top dental technicians.

DENTIST | GDC number 258636

Dr Kanzaria known to our patients as Nandi, trained at King’s College London and graduated in 2015. She went on to complete further training in oral and maxillofacial surgery before entering general practice in 2018.

Having undergone several years of dental treatment herself, she believes that dental health plays a significant role in a person’s overall well-being, including functionality, aesthetics, and self-confidence. She strongly favours using preventative measures where appropriate and uses this as the basis to provide care for all her patients.

When treating anxious patients, she takes an empathetic, gentle and well-explained approach, ensuring that patients feel at ease and as comfortable as possible through the treatment.

Away from dentistry, Dr Kanzaria enjoys long-distance running and yoga. She also enjoys experimenting with various cuisines and is always eager for a new culinary adventure.
