Raffaella Gabassi is the lead facial aesthetics clinician at White Dental. Fluent in English, Italian and Swedish, her charismatic nature creates an open, nurturing environment at the practice.

Raffaella successfully created a practice in Godstone from scratch and then later sold it to buy and brand White Dental and Cosmetic Rooms which she sold to her trusted colleagues Dr Sandeep and Dr Amarjot Bahra who have maintained and innovated the practice further with the same love and care.

Of the power of her vocation as a dentist, Raffaella says, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a sympathetic word, a compassionate ear, an earnest compliment, or the smallest act of kindness, all of which have the power to turn a life around.”

Raffaella qualified as a dentist from the Royal London College in 2001. She has since been on the cutting edge of dentistry and now focuses mainly on facial aesthetics, to ensure that she offers a world-class service to her patients.

Indeed, this burning desire to be a net contributor to the community extends even beyond beautiful Chiswick. Raffaella launched the Smiling World Foundation charity through which she invests both her time and personal resources to provide much-needed relief to some of the most impoverished communities. Her work originally started in Sierra Leone where she worked hard to treat children as well as adults but most importantly to train and educate a group of therapists who are still carrying on with what she initiated.

The next time you are in the area, Raffaella invites you to pop in to say hello, even if you are not yet ready for a clean-up or a check-up!

Raffaella remains very actively involved with the practice and is expanding her Facial Aesthetic business and opening her own Cosmetic Academy which she will be launching very soon.
