Inside the practice
Short answer: Smile Works DentaSpa is upstairs at Mucurapo Plaza, 31 Mucurapo Road, St. James, above Papa John’s, with parking on site. Inside there are four patient rooms, each with a screen mounted on the ceiling so you have something to watch while you lie back, a living green wall in the waiting area, and an on-site panoramic x-ray.
Most people who put off the dentist are not afraid of the treatment so much as the room. So here is the room, before you have to walk into it.

What you are looking at
- Four patient rooms, each with a ceiling screen. You lie back and watch something rather than the light. Patients can watch their own shows or listen to music; by the practice’s own account, children take to it fastest.
- A living green wall. Dr. Jagdeo’s doing — she keeps plants throughout the practice, and the wall in the waiting area is the largest of them.
- On-site panoramic x-ray. Imaging happens in the building during your appointment; you are not sent elsewhere and back.
- Sterilisation on site. Instruments are processed in the practice’s own sterilisation area.
The comfort is not decoration. Anxiety is a genuine barrier to dental care, and a room that does not feel like a clinic is part of how you treat it — alongside sedation, topical anaesthetic before injections, and being told what is about to happen.
