Welcome to the practice that takes an interest in you, not just your teeth

Manjit Rai,Owner and Principal Dentist
Hi, I’m Manjit Rai – the owner and principal dentist at Rai Dental Surgery. I was raised in Birmingham from the age of 3, but after completing my degree in Manchester I soon returned to my roots, and I’m thrilled to continue to work in my hometown.
I studied science at school and I enjoyed it too, so when it came to thinking about subjects to study at university, my careers teacher suggested dentistry.
It wasn’t an option I’d previously considered – none of my friends or family were dentists, so I had no real experience of the profession apart from my own check-up appointments.
When I started my dentistry studies, I had no idea just how well this career path would suit me. I like working as part of a small, tight-knit team, and my favourite part of the job is being able to help people and relieve them of any discomfort or pain they might be experiencing. I like taking a holistic approach to treatment too – not just addressing a particular problem on its own but also helping my patients to improve their own oral care routine so that they can enjoy a healthy smile and a better quality of life as a result.
