Hi, I’m Summaira and I joined Oh My Smile in 2020 As a Dental Therapist.

My favourite aspect of dentistry is making a difference. I take pride in helping nervous patients overcome their fear of the dentist and seeing the reward of them overcoming their fear and making a difference to their Oral Health and life. In addition to this I love meeting new people. I enjoy the therapy side (fillings, extractions), cosmetic work, helping people improve their oral hygiene. I enjoy looking at the anatomy of teeth. As a dental technician I have been able to utilise my anatomy skills to my present therapy work when doing fillings and this is what I thoroughly enjoy.

Outside of Work, I am an animal person and have a marine aquarium at home which I enjoy maintaining and learning new aspects of the marine life, this requires a lot of my time and care. I also regularly go on walks and thoroughly enjoy exploring new places, I enjoy being surrounded by nature. I enjoy art and have recently taken up the art of acrylic paintings.
