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.
Restoring In Harmony with Nature
Our aim is to protect, preserve and strengthen your teeth. We specialise in using materials that have been designed to work in harmony with the natural structure of your teeth, mouth and body.
Using restorative materials that have been specifically designed to mimic your natural tooth structure and be safe to the surrounding tissues is known as Bio-mimetic Dentistry.
Dr Munawwar Ladak specialises in using these conservative techniques.
Lifetime Smiles
At Safana Dental Clinic we understand that your smile is as unique as you are.
We take a preventative approach to your oral health and recommend regular dental check-ups to complement a good daily oral health routine.
Our team at SAFANA takes pride in building life-long relationships with our patients. We take the necessary time to understand your lifestyle, previous experience and your preferences, so we can tailor treatment options that are best suited to your individual needs.
Dental hygienists and dental therapists are specially trained to work with the dentist to give care to patients and can help with your treatment plan. They play a vitally important part in dental health care.
Selchia Selvendran is qualified as both dental hygienist and dental therapist at Safana.
Enhancing your Natural Smile
Our principle is to use minimally invasive techniques to subtly transform your smile. We focus on preserving and enhancing the aesthetics, function and long-term stability of your natural smile – aiming to optimize your dental health for a healthier life.
Dr Munawwar Ladak specialises in using these aesthetic techniques.
Dr Munawwar Ladak has completed his Masters in Clinical Dentistry in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics (the restoration and replacement of teeth). He, therefore, has a special interest in advanced restorative dentistry.

Using the latest state-of-the-art technology
Dr Munawwar Ladak firmly believes in using technology to benefit 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 our 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.
