Our Team of Dentists
Dr Zaeem Jafri BDS
Zaeem is the founder of Nova Smiles. Having worked in the NHS and private sector, Zaeem realised that many of his patients clearly did not fully understand their oral health, despite having seen dentists regularly throughout their lives.
Zaeem started Nova Smiles to improve people’s knowledge of their oral health, to guide them into making wise choices for dental treatment and to empower them in their dental journeys.
Current clinical practice: Innovadent Dental Clinic, London
