“ Working at Smile n Shine Dental Practice for two years was such a rewarding experience. As a Dental Treatment Coordinator, I had the opportunity to support patients through every step of their treatment journey—making sure they felt informed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. What truly stood out was the positive, team-focused environment that Dr. Bhavika Parekh and Dr. Ketan Panwalkar cultivated. Their leadership was grounded in compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to both patient care and staff growth. Being part of that culture helped shape the way I approach dentistry today. I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Smile n Shine. It laid a strong foundation for my current role as a dentist and gave me lasting connections and lessons I continue to carry forward in my career.”

“I started as a trainee and qualified as a dental nurse with the amazing support here. Now I’m doing my radiography course too! The beauty of my job is the friendly, caring environment—they genuinely look after our careers and our teeth. I even had Invisalign treatment done for myself. The flexible hours mean I still get plenty of time with my daughter, which means the world to me.”

“No one else would give me a chance—but Smile N Shine believed in me. With their support, I passed my first dental nursing exam with flying colours and now I’m building the career I always hoped for!!! We’re more than a team here—Bhavika and Ketan are family.”

“I joined Smile n Shine in its initial stages. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the surgery's transformation from the ground up. The atmosphere at the surgery has always been one of warmth and camaraderie, even during the busiest and most demanding moments. It was a pleasure to work alongside such a dedicated team. I especially appreciate the friendly and cheerful environment, which contributed significantly to our collective success in managing the pressures of daily operations. In the early stages, I noticed that patients were understandably a bit apprehensive, but it was truly rewarding to see them become more confident and comfortable as time passed. The progress was evident not only in their experiences but also in the overall growth of the practice. Working at Smile n Shine has been a valuable learning experience, and I am grateful for the knowledge I gained during my time here. It’s been a pleasure to contribute to a practice that is focused on both patient care and continuous improvement.”

My name is Simran Osahan, an overseas-qualified dentist from India, and I had the privilege of joining Smile N Shine Dental Practice and Ivydene Dental Practice as a Trainee Dental Nurse before progressing into the role of Treatment Coordinator. At Smile and Shine, I witnessed and participated in well-organised open days for implants and Invisalign, led by Dr. Bhavika. These events were not only instrumental in delivering the highest standard of care to our patients but also served as an excellent platform for learning and professional exposure for me. The team at Smile N Shine is commendable. Each colleague I worked with was kind-hearted, collaborative, and dedicated. The practice truly felt like a home away from home, and the positive, team-oriented culture made every day a pleasure. I am deeply thankful for my experience at Smile and Shine Dental Practice and I would highly recommend them not only as providers of outstanding dental care but also as exceptional places to grow and thrive professionally.
