Dr Ranya Kafena BDS
Dentist 
(GDC no: 73365)

 

Having been at Harewood since 2002, I have seen many of my patient’s needs change over the years. As a mother to two daughters, I also understand the need for good dental care for the whole family, and treating children, who then become cooperative patients and understand the need for good dental practices which are carried through to later life, is a priority.

I am always happy to advise my patients with their needs and I have particularly enjoyed seeing some very anxious patients relax over time to become regular attenders with minimal anxiety when attending appointments.

I enjoy practicing all aspects of dentistry from routine aesthetic fillings and tooth whitening to root canals, crowns, veneers and restoring implants, focusing on being caring and professional at all times.

I have also enjoyed growing my Invisalign practice, achieving beautiful results using this clear brace system.

I also attend regular courses to keep on top of the latest developments and treatment techniques to help with the many treatment we provide.

Preventive dentistry has been our approach at Harewood. Providing the best possible care to achieve a beautiful and healthy smile for the whole family with a focus on putting the more anxious patient at ease through good communication and, in doing so, demonstrating that dentistry needn’t be something to worry about.
