KEITH TEAM
DENTISTS
Mr Hiranya Fadia is the Principal at 8to8 Dental. He graduated in 2002 from Rajiv Gandhi University, India and finished his Overseas Registration Exams (ORE) in 2009 in London and also obtained MSc in Public Health from Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford.
He is also a qualified sedation dentist and offers this as an alternative option to anxious/nervous patients which is a service that’s high in demand.
He has spent the last 10 years of his career in the North east of Scotland and has made this his home along with his wife and 2 kids.
Alongside this, he is in the 6th year of being a dental trainer and finds it extremely gratifying to train young dentists & see them blossom. 3 of his last trainees have stayed back at the practice to continue working as Associate dentists.
He has a keen interest in cosmetic & implant dentistry and is acutely aware of the importance of taking time to discuss all possible treatment options with patients to ensure that they understand and have confidence in the service that is provided.

After qualifying from Edinburgh in 1987 my career has been spent exclusively in the North East of Scotland. I love being part of a team, one that actively helps our patients be healthy and happy. In the past , I have also been a dental trainer for 11 years and found it extremely gratifying to see young dentists blossom.
When not at work I love running, a perfect antidote to sitting down all day. I’m also learning to play the drums, although I’ve been told not to give up the day job.
