Holistic dentistry · Whole-person care

Dentistry that treats the whole person, not only the teeth

For more than forty years I have looked after patients by caring for the person in the chair. Long relationships, honest explanations, and a plan we agree together.

Dr Hitesh Batavia

“I have always felt that it is important to work in a holistic way with each patient, rather than solely treating their teeth.”

Testimonials

In patients' words

"Dr Batavia has been looking after my teeth, and those of my partner, for over 30 years. He inspires confidence with his deep clinical knowledge and is super-skilled in carrying out the work. He explains clearly any treatments he recommends and always provides me with options for how I might proceed. Delighted to recommend him."

D.O.

"On a friend's recommendation, I consulted Hitesh Batavia for an examination of my teeth and gums, as well as advice on whitening my teeth. He explained the available whitening options, from bright white to a gentler result, and I chose the latter. Hitesh did an excellent job, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend him; he is friendly, professional, and clearly takes great care in his work."

G.H.D.

"I first came across Dr Batavia more than 30 years ago when I was suffering from sensitivity in my teeth. He quickly diagnosed the problem, and I have been going regularly to him for check-ups and treatment ever since. Dr Batavia has an excellent bedside manner and has always made me feel comfortable and relaxed about any proposed treatment. I would highly recommend him."
