About Priya
Priya qualified in 2009 and worked in community and hospital dentistry before founding Marlowe in 2012. The community years shaped how she practises: many of her patients had avoided dentists for a decade or more, and the work was as much about rebuilding trust as repairing teeth.
Her days are a mix of first check-ups, family appointments and longer restorative work — fillings, crowns and the early stages of implant cases, which she then shares with Dr Rivera. She does the practice's children's clinics on Thursday afternoons, when the waiting room is at its loudest and, she insists, its best.
Patients who have not been for years often ask for her by name. Her rule for a first appointment is simple: nothing irreversible happens at a first visit unless you are in pain and ask us to fix it that day.
