Dr Uchenna Okoye is one of London's hottest cosmetic dentists - you'll probably know her as the smile fixer from Channel 4's 10 Years Younger. She's all about treating people holistically and knows what a crucial role a great, natural-looking smile plays in self-confidence.

You can't help but be put at ease in the spa-like surroundings of her clinics in Kensington and central London, You can book yourself in for an Indian head massage, an express facial or a mani, while you are there; as far as a trip to the dentist goes, this is the ultimate pampering experience (you can even watch movies through special glasses while you're in the chair). But it's first and foremost the health of your teeth that she is interested in before any cosmetic work can take place.

While Uchenna is a master of facial aesthetics – her clinics offer fillers and Botox – she's more likely to recommend simple whitening as the first port of call for anti-ageing results or a spot of non-invasive bonding to even out wear and tear. She'll chart your progress with before and after photos.

She is particularly passionate about helping women with their oral health as their approach their forties and fifties when hormonal changes cause changes to the gums and oral health generally.

She qualified at the prestigious Guy’s Hospital Dental School, London in 1993 and is now Clinical Director of London Smiling Dental Group. She is a member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, where she has previously been on the board.

She often appears as an expert on television and radio, in magazines and online.
