Grace Richardson Partners with S Dental & Aesthetics ahead of Miss World in VietnamAs the countdown begins to the 75th Anniversary of Miss World in Vietnam this August, Miss England 2026, Grace Richardson, is stepping up her preparations — and that includes perfecting one of her most powerful assets: her smile.
Grace has officially partnered with Dr Sonal Mandalia, Principal Dentist at S Dental & Aesthetics in Kibworth, who will be supporting her on her journey to the international stage.
A confident smile is essential not only on stage, but in the many appearances, interviews, and global engagements that come with representing England. For Grace, this partnership is about more than aesthetics — it’s about confidence, wellbeing, and feeling her very best.
Grace shared:
“As someone who’s always felt quite nervous about going to the dentist, Sonal helped me to feel instantly relaxed. My smile is a way of sharing my inner confidence so I’m excited to feel confident about the way my teeth look!”
Based in Kibworth, Leicestershire, S Dental & Aesthetics is known for its warm, patient-focused approach and exceptional clinical expertise. Leading the practice is Dr Sonal Mandalia (GDC No: 104124), a highly qualified dentist who graduated from King’s College London in 2006.
Dr Mandalia brings a wealth of experience across a wide range of treatments including:
Cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers
Invisalign and orthodontics
Dental implants
Restorative and prosthodontic dentistry
Sedation dentistry for nervous patients
Facial aesthetics
Her friendly calm and compassionate approach makes her particularly popular with patients who may feel anxious — something Grace herself has experienced and overcome through this partnership.
The team at S Dental & Aesthetics emphasise a patient-first philosophy:
“Our S Dental & Aesthetics team have a wealth of professional experience and are experts in their fields. You are in safe hands with our highly qualified, friendly and approachable team. Your treatments and wellbeing is our focus.”
As Grace prepares to represent England on the world stage — a journey that includes the prestigious Beauty with a Purpose platform, talent and sports challenges, and global media appearances — having a trusted dental partner is a key part of her overall preparation.
This collaboration highlights the importance of self-care, confidence, and professional support behind the scenes of every Miss England journey. With Dr Sonal Mandalia’s expertise, Grace will be ready to shine with confidence when she arrives in Vietnam this August.
