Saba Hafeez
Principal Dentist
GDC Number: 295788
PERSONAL QUOTE
“Preventive care is not just about cleaning teeth. It is about helping people understand their own oral health well enough to protect it. When a patient leaves knowing more than when they arrived, that feels like a good appointment.”
About Saba
Saba Hafeez began her career as a dentist in Pakistan, where she built a foundation of general clinical experience before relocating to the UK and completing her License in Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, one of the most prestigious postgraduate dental qualifications available in the UK. She joined the Newkirkgate team in January 2025 and has settled quickly into the practice’s warm, patient-first culture.
Saba brings a strong preventive philosophy to her clinical work. She believes the most valuable thing a dentist can do for a patient is not fix the problem that has already developed but help them understand how to avoid the next one. Every appointment with Saba involves a genuine conversation about oral health, tailored to the individual patient’s habits, diet and circumstances, not a generic set of instructions delivered in the final two minutes of the appointment.
She has a natural ability with patients of all ages and backgrounds, built through years of clinical practice across different healthcare systems and communities. She is thorough without being heavy-handed, and her approach to communication is clear, patient and consistently kind.
Patients who see Saba leave with a clear sense of where their oral health stands and what, practically, they can do to keep it that way.
