Dr Michelle Sayour

Job Titles:
  • Dentist
  • Cosmetic Dentist
Dr Michelle Sayour was inspired to become a cosmetic dentist at a young age. She grew up with gaps in her teeth which made her self-conscious, and experienced first-hand the impact that quality cosmetic dentistry could have on confidence. She wanted to give others the same transformative care and treatment she'd received at the hands of a skilled dentist. Michelle gained a Bachelor of Science degree from St Mary's University in Nova Scotia, Canada and then graduated in dentistry from Dalhouse University, also in Nova Scotia. She spent 20 years in practice in Canada, where she transformed countless smiles and lives. As an accomplished abstract painter whose work was exhibited at Vancouver Fashion Week`, Michelle loves how cosmetic dentistry combines technical skill with artistic flair. Michelle also enjoys fitness and pilates. Dr Sayour is a genuinely kind and warm person and explains everything well. She gave me the confidence and encouragement to proceed with dental work including veneers and crowns, which I had known I needed for a while. She is extremely gentle, respectful and fair. She favours a natural look and her aim is to help you achieve beautiful teeth without looking as though you've had much work done Dr. Sayour is the best dentist I've ever had in so many ways. (When did I ever look forward to going to the dentist before I met her?) Now she's moved to the UK I will be flying over to go to the dentist from now on.
