Dr Millie has spent her entire life immersed in caring for dental patients. She grew up in Patra, Greece, where her mother is a general dentist. Her sister is a specialist dentist (qualified in oral medicine and special care dentistry), and her brother-in-law is the director of UCL Eastman Dental Institute and a professor of oral medicine. Millie represents the fourth generation of dental professionals in her family. Millie is extremely proud of her history and the reputation of her family as leaders in the dental field. Her mission is to provide excellence in dentistry with the highest level of service in an enjoyable environment for her patients, staff, and dentists.

Dr Millie obtained her degree in dentistry in 2001 and is committed to keeping up-to-date with the latest techniques; and continues to undertake various postgraduate courses. She has successfully completed the prestigious degree of Master of Science in Conservative Dentistry at UCL Eastman Dental Institute and furthered her understanding of occlusion and restorative dentistry. She then continued an intensive two-year speciality-training program, where she obtained her degree of Master of Science in Endodontics (root canal filling and microsurgery) again at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. She is a certified Elite Invisalign® Provider, and she also provides procedures for both functional and aesthetics, including wrinkle-reducing injections and skin rejuvenation after completing her foundation and advanced training in facial aesthetics.

Dr Millie is an extremely caring dentist and takes enormous pride in her work. She provides dentistry of the highest standard and believes in pain-free treatment, clinical excellence and superb service. She is extremely experienced in dealing with simple to complex treatments.

Dr Millie is a widely known cosmetic and restorative dentist. Her portfolio features hundreds of Invisalign® and smile-makeover minimal invasive cases, entirely tailor-made. The majority of treatments she performs are complex, yet the challenging cases are her main speciality. Her care focuses on cosmetic treatments (Smile make-over, porcelain veneers, composite bonding), Invisalign (awarded Elite Invisalign® Provider), full mouth rehabilitation due to tooth wear and occlusion problems, implant restorations, root canal treatments, facial aesthetics and teeth whitening. Millie also developed a special interest in tooth whitening, undertaking extensive research on this subject as part of her MSc(s) studies.

Dr Millie’s philosophy of practice is to provide relationship-based, patient-centred, and comprehensive care in her dentistry. As part of her commitment to delivering high-quality dentistry to patients, Millie continues to travel worldwide to further her dental education and attends various study groups and courses throughout the year, updating her knowledge on all aspects of dentistry. Millie is greatly liked and respected by her team, patients and colleagues.
