Akshay is a cosmetic restorative dentist – the challenge of highly-demanding “pretty dentistry” or fixing damaged teeth greatly appeals to him. In both instances, he is aiming to mimic nature and is able to bring together a range of dental skills.

To develop these skills Akshay has attended numerous post-graduate courses over recent years – in particular the one year aesthetic and restorative dentistry programme taught by world-renowned Dr. Chris Orr. He has also completed three additional courses to advance his understanding and techniques for composite bonding.

Akshay is passionate about high quality dental photography and this can be found on his Instagram page (@dr_akshayshah), where he routinely showcases his patients’ treatments.

Massetts Road Dental has a wonderfully friendly team and he loves that everyone is always willing to help another.

In his spare time Akshay plays snooker, cooks, travels with my wife and much to her annoyance- supports Arsenal when they are playing!
