Meet the Eastcote Dentist Team

Dr Gaz Radi is the principal dentist at Acton Town Dental Practice. He qualified from Cardiff University and has over 25 years of experience in dentistry.

Dr Gaz’s special interests include Dental Implants and oral surgery. He has successfully placed over one thousand implants, including several total mouth cases, giving his patients renewed confidence with lifestyle-changing results. Unlike most other standard dental practices, Dr Gaz delivers a unique experience for his patients by adopting a guided approach to dental implant placement with the support of his in-house laboratory.

Dr Gaz works closely with his extensive, highly skilled team to create a unique and caring experience for all his patients. He believes everyone deserves the best possible treatment and takes a keen interest in patient concerns to achieve this ultimately. A careful and thorough assessment will always be followed by considering the optimal way to achieve the desired outcome, keeping the patient fully informed at every step. Knowledge of the strengths of the individual members of his team enables Dr Gaz to meet the needs of his patients under one roof through a designated internal referral system, coordinated by him as the lead, rather than relying on external assistance.

Dr Gaz’s other passion lies in his work with the less fortunate. He is proud to be officially recognised as the go-to dentist for all homeless and refugee communities in West London. In addition, he has been travelling to Sierra Leone annually since 2018 to encourage the establishment of dental services in a country with less than 10 dentists! Accompanied by his mobile team, Dr Gaz visits district hospitals and sets up urgent dental care clinics to serve the immediate community. Local dental therapists are successfully trained to continue running these new clinics throughout the year, remotely supported by Dr Gaz on an ongoing basis. Since starting this project, six clinics have been successfully established, creating a network of therapists nationwide.
