Dr Anand Gupta (Daventry)

Hi my name is Anand Gupta. I graduated from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ in 2004. I did my vocational training in Northamptonshire and have worked at Daventry since 2005. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry but have a great passion for the cosmetic side of it. This has led me to take extra training and courses in aesthetic dentistry which allows me to do ‘smile makeovers’ and also treatments to soften lines and wrinkles in the facial area (Botox treatments). The results one can achieve can be life changing and it is the patient satisfaction at the end of treatment which makes it all worthwhile. At the moment I am part way through my postgraduate qualification with the Royal College of Surgeons.
