About Dr Theodora Bravi
Hello, I am Dr Theodora Bravi. I have been a clinician for more than twenty-five years. I trained at Guy’s and King’s College Hospitals and spent six years on Harley Street before founding Thames Dental & Skin closer to home – to be near my children, and to build the kind of clinic I had always wanted to work in. Clinically led. Properly considered. With time for the person in front of me.
I treat skin, dental and health as one clinical picture, because in practice they are. Your teeth affect the balance of your face. Your skin reflects what is happening inside. Inflammation in the gut shows in the gums and the complexion, and hormonal change often shows in the mouth first. I trained as a dentist before I trained in facial aesthetics, and the sequence matters – it is from the dental side that I learned how deeply the mouth and the skin are connected, connections most clinicians simply do not see. I write for Premier Magazine on health and aesthetics, teach postgraduate aesthetic dentistry, and mentor younger clinicians.
As a GDC Registered Specialist in Prosthodontics – one of fewer than 300 in the UK – I handle complex restorative and implant work with precision rather than guesswork. Patients come to me for tooth wear, missing teeth, a smile that no longer feels like theirs, skin that has stopped responding, or simply to understand their health while they are well. They come for one thing, and often stay for the rest.

Dr Bravi's clinical programmes
Targeted testing and structured pathways can uncover what single treatments miss — nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalance, gut disruption and wider functional health concerns — giving you a clearer picture of what your skin, mouth and body may be telling us.
The 360 Assessment
A complete clinical review across skin, dental, bloods, hormones and lifestyle.
The Facial Reset Programme
A multi-month pathway to restore facial structure, supported by regenerative therapies.
The Lip Reset Programme
A staged restoration through controlled dissolving, recovery and refined rebuilding.
The Skin Health Programme
A structured pathway to healthier skin, combining LED therapy and clinical peels.
We look beyond the obvious. Persistent skin concerns, unexplained inflammation, low energy, hormonal change — these are connected to oral and systemic health in ways most clinics never consider. Where relevant, we investigate. Because the right intervention at the right time changes everything.
FAQs
Dr Bravi is a GDC Registered Specialist in Prosthodontics – the rebuilding and restoration of teeth – and also practises facial aesthetics and functional medicine. She handles complex restorative and implant work, cosmetic dentistry, and medically led skin and facial treatments.
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty concerned with restoring and replacing teeth – implants, crowns, veneers, bridges and full-mouth rehabilitation. It is one of the highest dental qualifications in the UK, held by fewer than 300 dentists nationally.
It means your mouth, face and body are considered together rather than in isolation. Dr Bravi looks at how your dental health connects to your skin, your facial ageing, and – where relevant – your wider health. Most clinics treat one thing at a time. At Thames, the connections between them are part of how we plan your care.
Yes. Every facial and skin treatment is delivered by Dr Bravi personally, with a specialist's understanding of facial anatomy and how the face ages.
A 90-minute assessment that looks at your whole-body health, your mouth and your skin together, with key markers tested in the room and a written health blueprint provided within seven days.
We see many patients who are anxious, including those who haven't been to a dentist in years. We take time, explain everything and never rush. Sedation is available where needed. Please let us know when you book.
Yes. We offer same-day and next-day private emergency appointments for severe toothache, broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental infections. Call 020 8398 9466 directly – we'll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible.

Most clinics focus on one thing. At Thames, Dr Bravi is a dental specialist, aesthetic medicine practitioner and functional medicine practitioner – and she considers all three together. The result is care that's more precise, more natural, and built around your long-term health rather than a single treatment.
