He is passionate about every aspect of general dentistry with a keen interest in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. He enjoys using the latest techniques and materials to ensure he provides the best care for his patients. He aims to treat all patients in a calm and confident manner, especially nervous and first-time patients.

In order to deliver confident smiles, Dr. Varsani utilises whitening systems such as Boutique with composite bonding.

Dr. Varsani is an Invisalign accredited provider, enabling him to offer orthodontics to patients and achieve their desired cosmetic outcome. He is a key believer in Align, Bleach and Bond techniques to get outstanding results with minimally invasive techniques.
Within the last few years, Dr. Varsani has attended numerous lectures, courses, and seminars to ensure he is up to date with the recent techniques. He has moved towards a digital approach in dentistry which allows his work to be predictable and accurate. He has completed an one-year postgraduate course in restorative and aesthetic dentistry.
Dr. Varsani thoroughly enjoys charitable work and recently had the opportunity to visit a rural orphanage in India. During his time he showed children how to brush their teeth and educate them about oral hygiene and its many benefits. This was a mind opening experience for him, as it shows how unfortunate some people around the world are, with no access to a toothbrush or toothpaste. He regularly carries out charity work at schools too, helping students with their dentistry applications and interviews.
