Personal & Career Summary

Deepti is a highly valued member of the Direct Dental team, working as an associate dentist with a focus on general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, and Invisalign.

She began her dental career after graduating with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Cardiff University in 2013. Since then, her commitment to excellence and patient care has made her an integral part of the practice.

Deepti went on to further her professional development through the prestigious Central London Scheme. In the same year, she achieved an outstanding ranking of 9th out of 1,800 dental graduates across the United Kingdom—an accomplishment that reflects her dedication, skill, and passion for dentistry.

She has also undertaken further training at the renowned Eastman Dental Institute, continuing to expand her expertise and deliver the highest standard of care to her patients.

Experience and Work History

Dr Deepti Katechia began her career in private practice in London, where she developed a strong passion for cosmetic dentistry. While she provides a full range of general dental treatments, her primary focus lies in creating confident, natural-looking smiles through advanced cosmetic procedures. Her expertise includes Invisalign, composite bonding, porcelain veneers, crowns, and full smile makeovers.
Her dedication to the profession has been recognised through the award of the Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Committed to continual growth, Deepti has undertaken extensive postgraduate training to refine her skills. She completed a one-year programme in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry, further enhancing her clinical expertise. As a fully accredited and experienced Invisalign provider, she has successfully treated a wide range of cases—from straightforward alignments to complex orthodontic corrections—over the past eight years.

Deepti remains committed to staying at the forefront of modern dentistry. She regularly attends advanced training courses and incorporates the latest technologies into her practice, ensuring her patients receive the highest standard of care and the most effective treatments available.

In addition to her dental expertise, Deepti has trained on Harley Street, enabling her to offer facial aesthetic treatments. These include anti-ageing procedures such as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, allowing her to take a more holistic approach to enhancing her patients’ appearance and confidence.

What truly distinguishes Deepti is her genuine passion for patient care. She believes dentistry is not just about teeth, but about the transformative effect a healthy, confident smile can have on overall wellbeing. Her dedication and clinical excellence have earned her industry recognition—she was a finalist for Best Young Dentist at both The Dentistry Awards and the Private Dentistry Awards in 2021.

Beyond Dentistry

Outside of dentistry, Deepti enjoys painting, a creative pursuit that brings her both relaxation and inspiration. Her passion for art has played a significant role in shaping her interest in cosmetic dentistry, allowing her to combine artistic vision with clinical precision.

This unique blend of creativity and technical skill enables Deepti to design beautifully natural smiles tailored to each individual. Her artistic approach not only enhances aesthetic outcomes but also helps create meaningful, confidence-boosting transformations for her patients.

For Deepti, this creative outlet continues to influence her work, driving her commitment to delivering personalised, high-quality results through the artistry of dentistry.
