Meet the Team

Clinical Director and Principal Dentist I graduated in 2004 from The University of Manchester with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery Degree (BDS). Since then I have continued to refine my skills in various areas of Dentistry through continuous education and training. I have attended courses in Madrid, Milan, Dubai, Dominican Republic and the USA which have been conducted by renowned local and international lecturers. This allows me to ensure that all my patients are able to benefit from the latest developments in dentistry. My passion is Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry for which I can offer advice and options to patients with various issues and concerns. I am currently completing a two year post graduate Diploma in Implantology Course at the Royal College of Surgeons in London and I am affiliated with ADI and BACD. This is complementing the year long courses in advanced aesthetic and restorative dentistry course that I have also attended.

I have a special interest in dental voluntary work in both India and Dominican Republic and hope to use my spare time for similar work in the future. I enjoy music, rugby and martial arts.

I am usually the person that takes you into the surgery and if you’re nervous then I’m always happy to put you at ease, working with Dr Bhatt that is not a problem! I joined Ocean Dental in 2008 from another dental practice and having settled as a key member of the team.

Emily

I originally started as a dental nurse in1999 but have continually developed my skills to become a fully qualified Dental Therapist and Hygienist. My dental nursing career has predominately been based at Manchester Dental Hospital which gave me experience with general dentistry but also the more complex cases of oral surgery. With this foundation, I have been able to develop my theoretical and practical skills as a Dental Therapist and Hygienist. I am confident to provide oral care advice to a variety of patients whilst tailoring treatment to their individual needs.
