The Dentist
Dr Ana Velasco, Lead Dentist
Biological Dentist, Myobrace specialist
Dr Ana Velasco graduated from Rey Juan Carlos University (Madrid, Spain) with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and has been practising dentistry for more than 10 years.
Whilst working for the NHS, Dr Velasco experienced first-hand, the limitations of traditional mainstream dentistry and the effects these limitations have on patients. This led her to develop a keen interest in holistic dentistry. As she learned more, the path that would fulfil her professional life became very clear. She then set herself the goal of becoming a biological dentist.
Dr Velasco began following Dr Jung and his teachings as she knew he was highly regarded in the field. As luck would have it, the stars eventually aligned presenting her with the opportunity to join Dr Jung’s team!
Dr Velasco has been with Dr Jung’s clinic since March 2022 and is undertaking all of Dr Jung’s clinical work, including safe amalgam removal using IAOMT’s SMART protocol as well as all surgical procedures and restoration work. She is also trained in the use of the CaviTAU Ultrasound scan. As our Lead Dentist, Dr Velasco conducts all initial consultations with Dr Jung.
Dr Velasco also offers the Myobrace orthodontic system for children and the Homeoblock treatment for adults. These methods naturally align teeth, and by redirecting jawbone growth and development, improves breathing and swallowing patterns. Ultimately this supports the ideal positioning of the teeth and eventually your overall wellbeing.
As a mother of a little boy, Dr Velasco knows how important it is to make choices that benefit children and create a better world for them. Her warm, caring nature, patience, and delicate manner ensure a child-friendly dental experience for your little ones!

What is an OPG x-ray?
An OPG is a full mouth x-ray which shows your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, TMJ joints.
Why do I have to have an OPG x-ray?
Dr Jung uses this to assess your teeth, jawbone, sinuses and TMJ joints.
Why does it have to be a digital OPG?
This is necessary to assess the x-ray on screen and is mandatory for the CaviTAU scan.
Why do I have to have an OPG if I have a CBCT scan?
An OPG gives Dr Jung a snapshot of the whole mouth from which to work, whilst the CBCT scan can be useful for a more detailed view of areas of concern that may show up on the OPG.

We don’t offer OPG x-rays in the clinic, so we recommend you look for a local dentist close to you who can offer digital OPG x-rays.
