The Journey

From Liverpool to the Midlands

Chirag, known as Chiggs, graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2014, earning multiple awards for his work in restorative and aesthetic dentistry. Passionate about creating confident, functional smiles, he went on to train with leading mentors across the UK.

After completing his foundation year in Heswall, he returned home to Wolverhampton to work with Birmingham Community Services and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he developed advanced skills treating patients with additional needs, anxiety, trauma and cancer.

His love for Liverpool later brought him back to the North West, where he refined minimally invasive smile-makeover techniques in high-level private practice.

For Exceptional Smile

Dr Chiggs is incredibly skilled, professional, and meticulous, taking the time to explain every step of the process and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. Nothing ever felt rushed, and the attention to detail was outstanding.

Harry Koner Patient

From start to end the whole experience was amazing. Welcomed by the lovely reception staff to Dr Chiggs himself, a true professional in what he does and to Megan assisting him on treatment day. I opted for whitening followed by composite bonding and the results are perfect. I have no regrets and would recommend this team and Acorn dental, Barnt Green to anyone thinking of doing the same.

Jack Brindley Patient

I normally am very anxious and fearful of the dentist but had been looking for a place to get composite bonding for a while. I chose acorn dental and am glad that I did. from the start even at reception I was welcomed and calmed by all the staff who were all friendly and inviting. i had my treatment with Dr Chiggs and Megan and am thrilled with the results. i had all my concerns and wants listened to and now have the perfect but natural teeth I’ve always wanted 10000/10

Kirsty Peyton Patient

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Chiggs. He was absolutely brilliant - very polite, patient, and with great attention to detail. He really takes his time to explain everything and makes sure the treatment is done to a very high standard. The reception team are also fantastic – warm, friendly, and they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. It’s clear that Dr.Chiggs and the team genuinely care about their patients.

Zafran Ilyas Patient

Amazing experience! I was recommended to come to Signature after visiting a few orthodontists and dentists. It took a year to straighten my teeth and an extra couple months for whitening and composite bonding, and the final result is amazing! Throughout the process, I was every step was explained and I had a good idea what the final result was going to look like. Definitely recommend, you’re in good hands! Special thanks to Dr Chiggs & Rachel!!

Jordan Kelly Patient

I had composite bonding done with Dr. Chiggs and his nurse Rachel, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From start to finish, they both made me feel so comfortable and reassured. Dr. Chiggs took the time to really listen to what I wanted and explained everything clearly, while Rachel and Gilly were so kind and supportive throughout the treatment.

Paul Shioleftou Patient

After many years of deliberating whether to go ahead with composite bonding, I finally made the plunge! After extensive research (and some Instagram stalking!), I opted to go with Dr Chiggs. I already had fairly well aligned teeth, so Invisalign wasn’t needed, but, due to being a teeth grinder, my teeth had become very small and worn down over the years. I was hoping to maintain my natural smile, but with longer teeth to achieve that slightly ‘broader’ smile. I am beyond delighted with the result - I now have the smile that I have always dreamed of. I cannot thank Dr Chiggs and the team at Signature Orthdontics (shout out to Gilly and Rachel!) enough.

Helena Goodman Patient

I had an amazing experience with Dr Chiggs at Signature Orthodontics, Harborne. He, and the dental nurses working with him, were welcoming and professional and made me feel completely at ease. Dr Chiggs listened to my wishes and personalised my treatment - the results are incredible and I now have the smile I’ve always dreamed of! The surgery is modern and clean, and the entire process was smooth and comfortable. Dr Chiggs was gentle, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I’m extremely happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr Chiggs to anyone seeking cosmetic dental work.
