Dr. Amara Whitfield
Dr. Amara Whitfield
Restorative & implant dentistry

Amara founded Denxa in 2011 after nine years in a practice whose diary she could never make room in. She still takes the first appointment of every day herself, and still does her own impressions.

Dr. Mei Tanaka
Dr. Mei Tanaka
Veneers, bonding & smile design

Mei trained as a ceramicist before she trained as a dentist, which is why she argues about shade under three different lights and why nobody has ever guessed which of her patients have veneers.

Dr. Idris Benali
Dr. Idris Benali
Children's dentistry & anxiety care

Idris has a rule: the child holds the mirror. Ten years of first visits and he has yet to meet a four-year-old who would rather be told what is happening than shown it.

Lena Okafor, RDH
Lena Okafor, RDH
Hygiene, gum health & prevention

Lena charts gums the way an accountant reads a ledger, and has caught more early periodontal disease than the rest of the practice combined. She will ask what you actually eat, not what you meant to.

Dr. Tomas Reyner
Dr. Tomas Reyner
Aligners, braces & adult orthodontics

Tomas will talk you out of a treatment that would finish three months sooner if it means moving bone faster than bone likes to move. Roughly a third of his cases start after forty.

Dr. Hana Viteri
Dr. Hana Viteri
Implant surgery & bone grafting

Hana plans every implant twice — once on the scan and once on a printed model on her desk — before she books the surgery. Her patients get the plan photographed and emailed to them.

Dr. Pavel Ostrom
Dr. Pavel Ostrom
Root canal treatment & dental pain

Pavel took the practice's emergency list because he prefers the appointments other people dread. Under a microscope, he says, a root canal is closer to watchmaking than to surgery.

Dr. Sofia Almeida
Dr. Sofia Almeida
Crowns, bridges & full-mouth rebuilds

Sofia handles the long cases — the mouths that need eight visits and a plan that survives all eight. She keeps a photograph of every finished case, with permission, in a book at reception.
