My name is Dr.Dasna Jayawardena, and I am a dentist who graduated from Bristol Dental University in 2018. Prior to pursuing my dental career, I completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Warwick. This dual background in both psychology and dentistry has significantly shaped my approach to patient care, particularly in understanding the emotional and psychological aspects of dental treatment. I believe that empathy, patience, and a caring approach are fundamental in building trust and helping patients feel comfortable in what can often be an anxious environment.

As a dentist, I place great emphasis on treating anxious patients, especially children. I understand the importance of creating a positive and supportive atmosphere, where they feel at ease and confident. My background in psychology allows me to effectively communicate with my patients and their families, helping to alleviate fears and ensuring that their dental experiences are as stress-free as possible.

I am deeply committed to personal and professional growth, which is why I am currently pursuing an MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry at King’s College London. I have a particular passion for aesthetic treatments, as I find great satisfaction in helping patients achieve not only healthy but also beautiful smiles. I enjoy working with the latest techniques and innovations in dentistry to provide high-quality, individualized care that enhances both the function and appearance of my patients’ teeth.

Outside of dentistry, I have a passion for travel. Exploring different cultures and experiencing new environments allows me to broaden my perspectives and stay inspired both personally and professionally. Traveling gives me the opportunity to recharge and continuously cultivate a positive, open-minded approach to my work.

In summary, my goal as a dentist is to combine my psychological insights, technical expertise, and passion for aesthetic dentistry to provide the highest standard of care. I am excited about the future of my profession, continually seeking new ways to improve my skills and deliver exceptional results for my patients.
