Dr Mayur Desai

Mayur qualified from Birmingham University in 2012 and joined Russell Avenue Dental Practice in May 2019. As a ‘conservative dentist’ he aims to carry out minimally invasive dentistry and always advocates the use of ground-breaking techniques and materials such as placing a ceramic onlays to preserve your tooth and keep it nice and strong.

He’s also a fan of restorative work such as veneers, crowns and bridgework resulting in huge improvements to a patient’s dental health and self-esteem. He has also recently starting his journey in placing dental implants and is also a certified Invisalign provider at the practice.

Mayur believes prevention should start from 6 months old, and by combining friendly language with a sense of fun can pay real dividends when treating children.

“A good rapport with your dentist early on can help to establish good habits and excellent oral health for life.”

Outside of work he’s a keen photographer, loves to ski in the French Alps and travel across the globe to places like Croatia, San Francisco and Thailand. A gym goer when he’s feeling ‘non-lazy’, he’s much happier kicking back at an England test match in Edgbaston, particularly if firebrand Ben Stokes is at the crease!
