Jeet Parekh explains how he built on family-owned Kai Dental’s legacy to create an award-winning multidisciplinary practice that exemplifies modern dentistry while honouring his father.
Taking over a thriving private dental practice requires strategic thinking and the ability to blend time-tested methods with innovative ideas to create an inspiring new brand. However, when the business is family-owned, the emotional significance adds another layer of complexity to an already challenging task.
Kai Dental, a private practice in the cosmopolitan Queensway area of Bayswater, London, has been a proud part of the Parekh family legacy since 1999. It began when implant surgeon and cosmetic dentist Kirit Parekh acquired Queensway Dental Care – a small, three-surgery practice opposite the busy Queensway Underground Station. The clinic remained a cornerstone of the local community for some 25 years, with Kirit at the forefront, transforming it into a hub for modern implant dentistry.
Inspired by his father’s vision, Jeet Parekh followed his father to study dentistry at the University of Manchester. A specialist orthodontist, Jeet took over the practice in 2019, rebranding it Kai Dental in memory of his late father.
