Careers

Working at Ivydene Dental Practice for over two decades has been more than just a job- It’s been a journey full of growth, learning,and meaningful relationships.
From the very beginning I’ve been surrounded by a supportive team and kind-hearted patients who make every day rewarding.I’ve had the opportunity to develop my skills,build lasting friendships and be part of a practice that truly puts people first.
I’m proud to have spent 21 years at Ivydene and look forward to continuing to serve our wonderful community with the same care and dedication.

My name is Simran Osahan, an overseas-qualified dentist from India, and I had the privilege of joining Ivydene Dental Practice as a Trainee Dental Nurse before progressing into the role of Treatment Co-ordinator. My time at Ivydene has been one of the most enriching and fulfilling experiences of my professional journey.
The practice fosters a warm, inclusive, and highly professional environment that actively supports continuous learning and personal development. I was consistently encouraged to expand my skills and take on new responsibilities, which significantly contributed to my growth and confidence in the dental field.
I am especially grateful to Dr. Ketan, Dr. Bhavika, and Dr. Rujuta—exceptional leaders who are not only approachable and supportive but also genuinely invested in the success and well-being of their team. Their mentorship and guidance have had a lasting impact on my professional development.
In addition to my experience at Ivydene, I also had the opportunity to work at Smile and Shine, the sister branch of the practice. At Smile and Shine, I witnessed and participated in well-organised open days for implants and Invisalign, led by Dr. Bhavika. These events were not only instrumental in delivering the highest standard of care to our patients but also served as an excellent platform for learning and professional exposure for me.
The team at Ivydene—and across both branches—is equally commendable. Each colleague I worked with was kind-hearted, collaborative, and dedicated. The practice truly felt like a home away from home, and the positive, team-oriented culture made every day a pleasure.
I am deeply thankful for my experience at Ivydene Dental Practice and Smile and Shine, and I would highly recommend them not only as providers of outstanding dental care but also as exceptional places to grow and thrive professionally.

Working at Ivydene Dental Practice has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional journey. From day one, I was welcomed into a supportive and forward-thinking team that values both clinical excellence and personal development. The leadership is genuinely invested in helping staff grow, offering regular opportunities for training, mentorship, and skill-building. What sets Ivydene apart is its patient-centered approach and commitment to maintaining a warm, respectful environment—for both patients and team members. I’ve gained invaluable experience here and feel proud to be part of a practice that sets such a high standard in modern dentistry.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ivydene for providing me with the opportunity to work in the UK. Special thanks to Dr. Ketan, Dr. Bhavika, and Dr. Rujuta for their support.
I'm especially grateful to Dr. Ketan, who somehow recognized my potential and gave me a chance. It's incredible how our journey began with just a simple WhatsApp message, and despite being strangers at the time, I took a leap of faith and came to the UK to work with him. That decision turned out to be a life-changing moment for me. Thank you, Dr. Ketan, and Ivydene, for everything. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity and the experience.
