Meet the dentists

Dr Ajay Ruparel is the Founder and Principal Dentist at Thames Street Dental in Kingston upon Thames. He qualified in 1979, completed UK registration in 1981, and is registered with the GDC under number 55244.

His early years were spent as an Associate Dentist in Ealing. In 1985 he acquired Thames Street Dental, and he has cared for the practice, housed in a Grade II listed building, ever since.

Beyond dentistry, he enjoys golfing and is an avid sports fan.

Dr Neeshita Ruparel qualified from the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham in 2012. After her vocational training at a dental practice in Croydon, she joined Europe’s largest dental care provider as an Associate Dentist in 2013, and in 2016 joined Thames Street Dental.

Neeshita finds her most rewarding work is when she can take a very nervous patient with dental phobia through a course of dental treatment successfully, turning their negative feelings toward dentistry into a positive one.

Her main focus is on prevention and patient education, with a special interest in Cosmetic Dentistry, including Invisalign, and Facial Aesthetics treatments such as Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers.
