Meet The Team

Mandeep Shukla

BDS, BSc, MSc, MFDS, RCS(Eng) GDC No. 80007

Mandeep qualified from Barts and The Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2001 where he obtained a BDS and a BSc in Psychology.

He then studied a Masters degree in Conservative Dentistry at the Eastman Dental Institute and was the youngest dentist ever to complete this course with distinction in 2005.

He furthered his training at the Eastman Dental Hospital to gain experience in the management of complex restorative care and during this period also gained his fellowship with the Royal College of Surgeons.

His extensive training at an early age enabled him to gain vast experience on managing complex dental cases which are often deemed hopeless.

He returned to general practice in 2007 working at the Wilton Place Dental Practice in Knightsbridge where his patients included Royalty and A list Celebrities.

He took over The White House Dental Surgery with his wife Eliza in 2012. Their vision was to bring the same kind of dentistry and service that was available to the patients in Knightsbridge to their local community at an affordable price.

Initially working between the two practices, he decided to leave the Wilton Place Dental Practice in Knightsbridge for good in 2014.

His areas of special interest are occlusion, replacement of missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, and minimally invasive dentistry.

He has been an Honorary Clinical Teacher at the Eastman Dental Institute for the past 13 years teaching on their Masters programme as a lead clinical instructor.

Outside of dentistry, Mandeep likes to spend time with his family, going for walks, cycling, reading, and playing cricket.

Vipul Patel

BDS, Special interest in Orthodontics GDC No. 83202

Vipul is an experienced dentist who has worked at the surgery for 16 years. He has undertaken many postgraduate courses over the years in dental cosmetics, restorative and orthodontics and gained a diploma in dental implantology.

Vipul is a general dental practitioner at the practice but also has a special interest in orthodontics (straightening teeth). He is an accredited provider of Invisalign clear braces (removable braces), Six Month Smiles and CFast (wire braces). Being a provider of Invisalign clear braces for over 12 years, he has completed hundreds of cases of all degrees of complexity. He is also able to provide digital simulations of teeth movements before treatment has actually started using a digital dental scanner so you have a realistic expectation of the result that can be achieved. Vipul is able to tailor the treatment to your needs using his wealth of experience.

He is also an accredited SmileFast dentist. This revolutionary cosmetic treatment can transform a patient’s smile in a single sitting with very minimal teeth preparation. Together with teeth straightening and teeth whitening procedures, SmileFast can allow a new smile in a less destructive way compared to the old traditional methods like crowns or veneers.

He has a passion for dentistry, especially the new digital innovations, and also continued lifelong learning. Vipul has also been chosen as a dental trainer away from the practice, supervising new dentists coming out of university.

Outside of work Vipul is devoted to his young family and travelling (when he can!). He loves sports, especially football and Arsenal.
