Principal dentist

As the principal dentist and founder of Jiva Dental it is my responsibility and honor to look after our patients and my team.

It is humbling that patients choose to come to us to help them achieve amazing smiles, confidence and great dental health.

At the practice, we have created a community of like-minded patients who value the expertise and dentistry we provide. As a team, we all strive to do our best for each individual patient.

I think Jiva is so special because we try every day to make it a calm and relaxing place to be. I wanted to create a practice that does not look, feel or smell like a dentist’s. Everyone here is really down to earth, approachable and professional. I’m sure our patients would agree!

My main area of interest is cosmetic dentistry and have been personally trained by some of the leading experts in the field from the USA and the UK. I have also trained in sedation and enjoy working with nervous patients, helping them through their journey. As a certified Invisalign practioner I have helped 100’s of patients achieve the smile of their dreams! In fact, my love for Invisalign has led to me undergoing treatment myself. In 2007, I gained a Certificate in Restorative Dentistry from the renowned Eastman Dental Institute (UCL). I have also written for and appeared in the British Dental Journal and have been a speaker at the British Dental Conference.

My passions (apart from dentistry!) include my family, travel, martial arts, bouldering, skiing, my guitars and music. I also love the theatre and good food (eating and cooking!).

Dr Ian Seddon

Implant dentist
BDS (Manchester 1989)
GDC 64868

In establishing Seddon Dental Implants, I looked to put my patients at the focus of my care.

I have worked hard to build a team who would help me offer this patient-first approach, taking time to listen to people and understand the problems their teeth give them in their daily lives.

I always try to explain what I see in clear and simple language, then discuss a range of treatment options, so that my patients can use this information to make the best-informed choices for their mouth.

I love working at Jiva Dental because the team are so helpful, warm and inviting and the practice is beautiful. Patients always praise the calm environment and team, who are very welcoming and caring towards them.

My small, personal and supportive implant team explain all treatment options and ensure patients’ needs are truly understood and met at every stage. I can also offer intravenous sedation, making implant treatment a more relaxing and positive experience.

I have lectured in the UK and Europe, published papers in dental publications, and clinically mentor fellow dentists.

My hobbies are teeth! I also love spending time with my wife and twin boys, and skiing.

Georgia Lee

After working as a dental receptionist for over a year, I knew that this is what I wanted to do as a career and I started working at Jiva Dental in January 2021.

Jiva Dental is a very interesting and eventful practice to work at, watching patients faces light up when we are able to give them their dream smile. All the patients and members of staff are what makes Jiva the kind and caring practice that it is. I cant wait to see where my journey at Jiva will take me in future.

I enjoy cooking, sending time with my family and friends and also drawing in my free time after work.

Iwona Zarzycka

I am thrilled to have joined Jiva Dental as the new Practice Manager due to its outstanding reputation. I have been in the management sector for over 10 years, and thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my role.

In the past I have been involved in various projects with local communities to enhance lives of residents in adult social care.

In my free time I love hiking, going to a theatre and watching stand up comedies. I also like knitting and going to the gym. I love English medieval history and exploring medieval historical places. I am involved in supporting different charity organizations too.

I love getting to know all our patients and offer them the best service possible, as well as working closely with local community groups in Kingston.

I am so proud to be part of a team that strives to provide only the very best care to all their patients.

Sophie Herridge

Hygienist
Dip Dent Hygiene (London 2016)
GDC reg no. 265988

I qualified as a dental hygienist from Eastman Dental Hospital (UCLH) in 2016 and have worked in a number of different practices across London gaining experience in both the public sector and private practice.

I have always had a passion for dentistry, particularly in the prevention of gum disease and the promotion of good oral health. I am committed to my work and to every single patient who walks through the door at Jiva Dental. Being a dental hygienist is highly rewarding and I love helping people find their smiles and confidence again.

I place great importance in delivering high quality treatment as well as providing a great experience for patients. Also, my empathetic approach and caring nature ensures nervous patients feel comfortable and relaxed as they receive their dental
treatment.

I joined Jiva Dental in October 2020 and am already enjoying being part of this exciting, friendly team. I look forward to growing with their vision and getting to know all of my patients.

My interests and hobbies include cooking, cycling, country walks and spending time with my wonderful family and friends.

Sarah Morris

Receptionist

I am so happy to join the Jiva Dental team and am really looking forward to serving our patients and providing them caring service with a smile!

Before I worked here, I gained years of experience in the hospitality industry and before that, was a wedding photographer for 10 years.

I still enjoy photography; it is one of the hobbies I love the most and I try and get my camera out whenever I can. I am a regular gym goer and, in my downtime, I enjoy reading sci-fi novels and spending time with my family.

I am excited to see what the future brings with Jiva Dental
