Lina qualified from the University Of Birmingham in July 2000 and is one of the principal dentists at Smile Essential in Leicester and treats patients from all over the UK and the world. She has a reputation for consistent, high quality work and her relaxed and informal approach immediately puts nervous patents at ease.

Lina is interested in achieving only the very best she can for her patients and the practice. This means ‘getting things right’, and continuously moving forward, utilising new technologies and skills. She is always keen to develop her skills further and spends a lot of her spare time on dental courses.

She enjoys all aspects of general practice and has a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry, smile makeovers, and treatment of children and nervous patients.

Lina believes in treating patients with total understanding and empathy to their needs. She says "I would always treat patients the same as if I were to treat my family – with total care and respect whilst providing them with the best dental care and options they deserve".

Outside of dentistry Lina is married to Shrik. She enjoys travelling, oriental cuisine and takes active steps to keep healthy by practicing tai chi and yoga.
