Our Team

Dr Ushita Shah Practice Owner and Principal Dentist

I qualified from Bristol University in 2008 and then went onto Senior House Officer posts in Oral Surgery for two years in London, Slough and Bristol. I completed my Masters in Implant Surgery at Cardiff University.

I moved to Guernsey in 2017 and have never looked back!

As well as being a full time dentist, I oversee the day-to-day running of the practice. I carry out General Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry and Dental Implant Surgery. Over the years I have helped nervous patients overcome their fears and realise that dental procedures need not be stressful.

We are a great team at the Bridge Dental Clinic and I am grateful everyday for the hard work and dedication to patient care that all members of the team demonstrate.

Dr Farjad Chaudhry Associate Dentist

I qualified from the University of Birmingham and went on to complete my Foundation Training in Redditch. I then completed two additional years of hospital based training, focusing on Oral surgery and gaining my sedation qualification.

I love all aspects of dentistry but find composite bonding and oral surgery especially rewarding. As someone who didn’t particularly like going to the dentist themselves, I know how daunting it can be, and as such, try my hardest to make the experience as pain-free and relaxing as possible. My aim is to get to know you first and foremost, listen to your wants and needs, and provide excellent clinical care.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, hiking and binge watching whatever show I’m currently obsessed with. I can't wait to explore Guernsey and enjoy the amazing beaches on the Island.

Tiffany Mellor Hygienist

I have worked in dentistry for many years and qualified as a Dental Hygienist & Dental Therapist at Kings College London in 2016. After graduating, I moved to Jersey for 7 months & ended up staying for 6 years! Since being introduced to Guernsey, I have fallen in love with the Island & moved over at the end of 2022. My aim is to provide patients with the best oral health care and an all-round comfortable experience. Outside of work, I am enjoying exploring Guernsey & I’m looking forward to attempting some cold water swimming!

I am from Scotland and I came to work in the hospitality trade in Guernsey in 1987. I love the island and it's way of life. I worked at the auction house for 16 years as a receptionist and then retired. However retirement wasn't quite for me and I really enjoy working part time.

When not at work I am a passionate gardener and spend as much time there as possible.
