Dr Priya Rasalam

Dr Priya Rasalam is an experienced and highly regarded general and cosmetic dentist with over 23 years of experience — the vast majority of it right here in East Kent, including Dover, Hythe, Ashford and the surrounding area. Having cared for local patients and families for more than two decades, she brings a deep familiarity with the community she serves.

Priya qualified with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and went on to gain Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, followed by postgraduate training in Restorative Dental Practice at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. Her clinical approach is grounded in minimally invasive, aesthetic-focused dentistry, with an emphasis on long-term oral health and function.

She offers the full range of general and family dentistry alongside cosmetic and restorative treatments, including smile enhancement, orthodontics with Invisalign and Angel Aligners, tooth whitening, and facial aesthetics. Above all, Priya places great importance on communication and trust, and is known for her calm, gentle manner and for putting nervous patients and children at ease.

Outside of dentistry, Priya is a mum to two boys and enjoys an active, busy life — she likes a challenge, and has pushed herself out of her comfort zone over the years through everything from white-water rafting to skydiving and caving.
