our story

Yash & Shiv—as their patients fondly call them—took over Chess House Dental Practice in October 2017. It seemed like a daunting task at first, as Chess House was their first baby and they had put everything they had into the practice. However, they were overwhelmed with the love and support they received from the Chesham community.

In the last 4 years, Yash & Shiv have left no stone unturned in making their vision for Chess House come true. Patients have witnessed the huge amount of transformation the practice has seen in the last few years. In 2021, they have seen one of their biggest dreams take form: that of expanding Chess House from a 4-surgery to a 7-surgery multidisciplinary practice, providing all treatments under one roof. The practice has not only evolved in terms of surgeries but is now equipped with the latest technology, intraoral cameras, intraoral scanners, digital smile design and microscope allowing our dentists to give the highest quality of advanced dental care. Our Chess House family now consists of 9 dentists, 2 visiting specialists, 6 dental nurses, 2 receptionists and 1 treatment co-ordinator and practice manager. The ethos of the practice remains the same; providing the best quality of care and making the patients feel at home in their dental practice.
