Meet The Team

Dr. Vasile Pana, Dentist

Dr Vasile Pana (GDC No 175687)
DMD Tirgu,Mures, 1996

Founder and Principal Dentist

After graduating from the University of Tg.Mures/Romania 1995, I completed my vocational training in General Dentistry in August 1996 after which I began working as a private dentist. In 2003, I earned a Specialist Degree in General Dentistry from the University of Cluj-Napoca, later, in 2006 I obtained ‘Competence in Implant Dentistry’ from the University of Medicine in Bucharest.

In October 2009 my family and I moved to the UK, over the past 15 years while practising as a general dentist I have focused on Restorative and Implant Dentistry’, leading to a special interest in Digital Dentistry, particularly in computer assisted assessments and treatment planning.

I firmly believe that "Prevention is better than cure" (D. Erasmus, 1500). This belief drives my commitment to implementing the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence available in Modern Dentistry, including 3D Scanning, 3D Printing and Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

These tools of the 'Digital Era' offer several benefits, such as:
- Helping patients better understand their current oral conditions
- Actively participate in disease prevention.

"Embracing the future of dentistry means blending the precision of technology with the timeless wisdom of prevention, ensuring every patient not only receives the best care today but is empowered to protect their smile for tomorrow."

Dr Diana Pana (GDC No 175691)
DMD-Cluj-Napoca 2003

Associate Dentist

I am a dedicated clinician with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Medical University Cluj-Napoca, where I began enhancing my expertise in restorative and aesthetic dentistry since 2003.

I then went on to complete a two-year postgraduate diploma programme at Dominic Hassall Training Institute Birmingham and I have a special interest in Anterior Alignment Orthodontics.

I have undertaken advanced courses , becoming a skilled practitioner of the AAO and completing the Advance Orthodontic Course at IAS Academy with Professor Ross Hobson. I am committed to providing a personalised and professional service, ensuring a thorough understanding of each patient’s needs.

In my spare time I enjoy baking cakes for loved ones and taking leisurely walks with my dogs Kyro and Kira.

 

"True care begins with understanding - each smile restored reflects a journey of dedication, skill, and the heart to make a difference."
