Meet your dentist
BChD·MChD·BSc·PgDip
I'm a general dentist at Smart Smiles in Ystrad Mynach, South Wales, offering a wide range of general and cosmetic treatments in a calm, welcoming environment. Whether it's your first appointment in years or a routine check-up, you'll get unhurried care, plain explanations, and a plan that moves at your pace.
Good dentistry is quiet work. Gentle, plain, lasting.
About
I believe dentistry is about much more than teeth. Visiting the dentist can feel daunting, so I aim to create a calm, supportive experience from the moment you sit down.
Whether it's a gentle aesthetic enhancement or getting you out of pain, your comfort always comes first, and nothing happens until you understand what it involves and why.
I'm a general dentist at the wonderful Smart Smiles in Ystrad Mynach, South Wales, providing a wide range of general and cosmetic dental treatments in a calm and welcoming environment.
That covers the everyday, from check-ups, hygiene and fillings through to whitening, bonding and alignment. I'm passionate about helping patients feel confident in their smiles.
Questions are welcome, and so are second opinions. If you have images from another practice, a treatment plan you're unsure about, or a photo of the smile you're after, bring them along.
You'll get a straight answer on what's realistic, what it involves and what it costs, with no pressure to decide on the day.
If it's been years since your last check-up, you won't get a lecture. Just a clear plan, and a bit of credit for showing up.
We can go at whatever pace suits you: a look and a conversation first, treatment only once you're ready for it.

Experience
The short version of my apprenticeship, from the first lecture to the chair you'll sit in.
Bachelor of Dental Surgery
2013 – 2018
University of Leeds Dental School
Five years of foundations: anatomy, materials, and my first real patients. Leeds taught me that good dentistry is equal parts science and steadiness.
Leeds
Foundation Dentist
2018 – 2019
London Road Dental Practice
My first year in practice, treating a whole community from anxious first-timers to lifelong regulars. I learned to slow down and listen before I ever picked up a handpiece.
Newark
Dental Core Training · Paediatrics & Restorative
2019 – 2020
Birmingham Dental Hospital
A hospital year split between children and oral surgey. Treating nervous young patients made gentleness a habit, not an afterthought.
Birmingham
Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry
2021 – 2023
Totally Aesthetic
PgDip restorative and aesthetics: a diploma spent obsessing over the details of a smile: proportion, shade, and the millimetre decisions that separate good from seamless.

Smart Smiles
Where it all comes together. From routine check-ups to full smile makeovers, this is the unhurried, precise dentistry I set out to practise.

“I had a great visit with Dr Chudasama. It was one of the most informative and thorough appointments I’ve had at a dentist. She took the time to answer every question I had clearly and with real confidence, which made the whole experience feel reassuring.”

“Haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years so was a bit apprehensive, but no matter though as Deesha and her assistant Sofie were great. Made me feel very comfortable and talked me through my treatment plan in detail. Very professional but also friendly, would recommend!”
Dylan T
“Dr Deesha was absolutely incredible and extremely thorough. I usually get anxious at the dentist but Deesha made me feel completely relaxed and at ease. She explained everything she was doing and consistently checked in with me to make sure I wasn’t in pain or uncomfortable. Sophie, the dental nurse was also great and they worked brilliantly together. Thank you to all the staff, especially Deesha, for providing such high quality and patient-centred care, you were so helpful! I could not recommend Dr.Chudasama enough! Thank you again, you were fantastic!”
Kishen Mehta
“I was nervous about my appointment, The staff were very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and my Dentist Deesha (hope i spelt it right) and her assistant were brilliant with me. Chatting like we knew each other for years. Having the xrays done were not as uncomfortable as they have been in the past. I was so grateful I had to give Deesha a hug of gratitude for my experience today. PS there are handy disabled parking a cross the road.”
A Granham
“I honestly couldn’t thank the team enough for everything they did. Booked straight back in for more work in the coming weeks.”

“Deesha and Sophie were terrific. Very friendly and thorough check up and clean, would highly recommend!”

“I was extremely nervous about going, but I needn’t be. The whole staff are wonderful and my dentist, Deesha, was amazing. She was calming, kind, straightforward and completely non-judgmental. She explained everything to me and gave me as much time as I needed. Her assistant nurse was also lovely. I have a long treatment plan, and Siana-the coordinator- took me to a private room to go over everything and discuss my options. She was extremely professional and friendly. I’m pretty sure everyone checked if I was okay, as I got quite flustered and anxious, it was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to everyone and especially to anyone who is reluctant about going.”
