Dr Munawwar Ladak

Welcome to SAFANA DENTAL

A lifetime of smiles

At SAFANA we believe that everyone should have access to an exceptional level of dental care. Our practice has been established in the heart of Little Chalfont for over ten years and has been designed to house a state-of-the-art surgery, delivering high-level private dentistry in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Our team is dedicated to making patients feel at ease during their visits. Our main focus is the use of minimally invasive techniques that preserve your tooth structure and work in harmony with nature, to give you a healthy and beautiful smile for life.

Exceptional Care

Our dentists offer a full range of preventative and restorative dentistry. We also have a dedicated dental hygienist and therapist available throughout the week including Saturdays.

We pride ourselves in taking the time necessary to explain fully any proposed treatment, any associated risks as well as alternative options so patients can make informed decisions about their dental care.

We firmly believe in using technology to its fullest, so use digital cameras, photographs and even computer simulations to explain any treatment and oral hygiene procedures that you may need.

You can even use our Ipad to watch your favourite TV show on-demand, or choose to listen to your favourite music whilst having your treatments!

We also provide dental sedation enabling anxious and nervous patients to undergo routine or specialist treatment. Dr Ladak has previously worked at the Sedation and Special Care Dentistry department at Guy’s Hospital teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Our Services

Digital Dentistry

Using the latest state-of-the-art technology

Dr Munawwar Ladak firmly believes in using technology to its fullest for the benefit of our patients. As well as using our digital cameras/x-rays during our dental assessments and treatments, we have now also invested in a digital scanner at the practice, to accurately facilitate more advanced treatments.

Our iTero intraoral scanner uses laser and optical scanning for taking teeth impressions, without the wait and discomfort of conventional methods. The scanner makes it possible for dental impressions to be taken without the need to place any putty or paste inside your mouth. This state-of-the-art technology results in an extremely accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums, which you will be able to instantly see during your visit.

Dr Ladak and the team can use this cutting-edge digital impression system to predict the results of dental treatments such as Invisalign, dental implants, and dental crowns or bridges.

    If you are looking for a dentist who will provide you with professional care and advice with top of the range equipment and skill sets-look no further. I have been coming to Safana Clinic since 2008 and Dr Ladak is simply the best! He spends time creating white fillings and composites that match your own teeth and they are indiscernible from your own teeth.

    LAURA GAROUFALIAS

    I have been getting treatment from Safana since 2013 and I have had best patient care every single time. Everything is explained in detail and done the right way by taking as much time as possible without rushing it. It is a bit far from the city, but considering the quality of the service and it’s importance it is totally worth the commute.
