What Our Patients Say

Abby Ng

I had been suffering from tooth pain for several nights before I went to see Dr. Ajay. After examining me, he quickly identified the infection and made a clear decision that the tooth needed to be extracted. Dr. Ajay was extremely skilled, and the whole extraction was done very quickly with virtually no discomfort. He also gave me his number and asked me to let him know how I was doing afterwards. What surprised and impressed me most was that, just three hours after the extraction, Dr. Ajay personally called me to check that I was alright. He is genuinely a very caring dentist who makes you feel reassured and helps ease your anxiety, especially when you are facing a stressful dental problem.

Willliam Henry

Dr Pritesh was fantastic from my very first consultation. He immediately made me feel relaxed, explained all the options clearly and even applied temporary bonding so that my partner and I could see what the final result might look like before I made a decision. As I had a particularly large gap, this was incredibly helpful and gave me the confidence to go ahead. On the day of the procedure, both Dr Pritesh and Shannon made me feel completely at ease and checked in with me throughout. The results are incredible and exactly what I had hoped for. When I needed a couple of small adjustments afterwards, they fitted me in straight away, which was a huge relief. It’s only been a week but my confidence when smiling has already grown immensely. I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results, and I would highly recommend Dr Pritesh and the team.

Jordan Gwilliam

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr Aidan and the whole team! Dr Aidan completely transformed my smile, and I’m absolutely in love with the result. He took the time to talk me through every step of the process, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured throughout. The attention to detail was amazing, and the final result is exactly what I hoped for — natural, beautiful and such a huge confidence boost! The whole team are so friendly, welcoming and professional. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Dr Aidan and the team enough. Thank you so much for giving me a smile I absolutely love! 🤍

Brigitta Lázár

I had a very positive experience with my periodontal treatment. Asier is very nice, professional, and reassuring, which made me feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Tia and Mo at the reception are also very helpful and friendly. Overall, I’m very happy with the care and service I received and would definitely recommend the practice.

sundeep kaur

I would highly recommend Smile! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and they have made me feel so comfortable throughout my visits. I was very anxious about having my wisdom tooth removed and getting my teeth cleaned, but the whole team was amazing. They explained everything so clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what was happening at every stage. The reception team are all such lovely people and really made me feel at home. They check up on you on the day and after any treatment, which really shows how much they care. They even made me laugh when I was feeling anxious, which helped me not overthink things. I will definitely be coming back soon, and I would happily bring my children here too. I trust this place so much and feel completely comfortable with the whole team. Thank you to everyone at Smile for being so kind, caring and supportive! ❤️

Riya Lakhani

I booked a last-minute hygiene appointment with Sadije and had a fantastic experience! I was nervous because I haven’t always had the best luck with teeth cleanings in the past, but Sadije was so thoughtful and gentle. She checked in on me regularly to make sure I was comfortable, which I really appreciated, especially since I have epilepsy. Her care and attention made the whole visit easy and stress-free. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Emily Lewry - Dawson

I had my top 6 teeth composite bonded by Aidan and he was fab. 8 months later and I’ve had no problems. Highly recommend

Sadije and Shannon performed a swift and thorough cleanse of my teeth and gums. It was much needed treatment ahead of upcoming my composite bonding procedure and they also gave me a lot of useful general tips to help me keep my teeth clean at all times. Highly recommend, Jaden

Fatheha Ilias

I’ve returned to see Zainab for my hygiene appointments several times now because of how good she is. I always leave feeling fresh and knowing what the next steps are to keep my teeth clean. Daniela was also amazing!

Acieb Karbasi

Having known Dr Yousif Alwandi personally for over 15yrs and seen his level of dedication first hand going all the way back to when we were in school together, I had no doubt that I was not just putting my smile in safe hands but with someone who takes extreme pride in his work and who I knew would deliver me with the final smile of a perfectionist. Yousif’s manner is superb, warm, welcoming and yet professional at the same time. I felt comfortable to ask even the smallest doubt or question that came to my mind at any time. I am extremely grateful that our paths crossed again after many years and I was able to see how far you have come first hand. The whole team at Smile Rooms at Milton Keynes have been wonderful! I’ve been made to feel at home every time I enter the front door of the clinic by Mohammed, Tia, Maddy and Jessica as well as during my treatment by Ashley and Daniela who supported Yousif. I would highly recommend Dr Yousif Alwandi and the team at Smile Rooms for any dental procedures and could not have been happier to see him again!

Leonard Harding

Not having visited a dentist for the best part of 5 or 6 years due to ill health. I ventured to Smile Rooms for some much needed treatment. From the very first consultation I was made to feel so relaxed and the staff were very friendly which made the whole experience so great. I don’t think I have ever recommended a dentist clinic to anyone but I did when it came to Smile Rooms. I spoke to my partner and in the near future once all my treatment has been completed she will be the next to experience what the Smile Rooms has to offer. It’s a thumbs up from me!🙂

Vinitha Pathmanathan

I had my implant done by Dr Julian Parry and various nurses helped last nurse was Stephanie. I was a very anxious patient but both the Dr and the nurses were very reassuring and kept me calm. Dr Julian answered all my questions and did such a great job with my implant. I would highly recommend!!! Thanks to Smile Room for making my implant journey and smooth as possible.

Audrey Lavrut

I had an amazing experience with the hygienist Sadije. She is incredibly thorough, professional and very caring. Before she started my cleaning, she checked to ensure i had taken my required pre appointment antibiotic which showed incredible attention to detail. During the cleaning, she was constantly checking if i was comfortable and painfree. Her gentil touch and thoughtful approach turned my 6 months dental routine visit into a fantastic experience. Her nurse Stephanie was wonderfully gentil and attentive. They are a wonderful team, thorough, professional and caring. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a an excellent caring dental hygienist.

Zaynab was excellent and her attention to detail was fantastic. She is really thorough with her explanations of the recommended treatments and the reasons why, even drawing diagrams to help explain things further. I’ve always been incredibly nervous of the dentist but this was a very reassuring experience. Very excited to start my Invisalign journey.

Scotty Wilts

Hygiene appointment with Zaynab. I was extremely nervous, but had all my anxiety eased by Zaynab as she was very kind and gentle, explaining every step and ensuring I was ok.

What are the symptoms of tooth decay?

Tooth decay may not show any visible symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. The symptoms of tooth decay include:

Tooth sensitivity

Bad breath

Brown, black or grey spots appearing on your teeth.

An unpleasant taste in the mouth

What is tooth decay?

It is estimated that around 1 in 3 adults in the UK have tooth decay.

Tooth decay is when acids in your mouth dissolve the outer layers of your teeth.

The acids are formed by the bacteria in your mouth combining with small particles of food (particularly carbohydrates found in sugary food and drinks) and saliva to form a sticky film (plaque).

If the plaque is allowed to build up, the acid begins to break down the outer surface of the tooth.

Eventually this can enter and cause damage to the soft matter at the centre of the tooth.

How is tooth decay treated?

FIRST STEP

In the early stages of tooth decay our dentist may apply a protective fluoride varnish to help stop further decay.

Second Step

For later stages of tooth decay, depending on how advanced the issue is you may require a filling.

If the decay has travelled into the soft matter of your tooth, you may need root canal treatment.

Last step

In severe cases where the tooth cannot be restored it may need to be removed.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to treat infection at the centre of the tooth, treating this is also known as endodontics.

The aim of the treatment is to avoid extracting the tooth, and in most cases is successful in preventing this.

The infection in the tooth is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and then enter the tooth.

The infection can be caused by damage to the tooth or trauma, such as after a fall or by advanced tooth decay.

What is the procedure for root canal treatment?

FIRST STEP

After numbing the area, the tooth needs to be cleaned by the endodontist and the infected soft tissue inside the tooth is gently removed.

Second Step

The tooth is then packed with a biocompatible material.

Last step

Following the root canal treatment, a filling or crown is placed on the tooth to restore the functionality and protect the tooth.

When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma or periodontal disease.
Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause recurrent infections in the mouth.
In orthodontics to help create space for the other teeth to be moved into straighter positions.

Tooth extractions can be done in a single appointment, with a follow up appointment for more complex cases. Our dentist will be able to advise you on the best options for your situation.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth damaged by decay to a more normal function and shape.

The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area and then filling out the cavity with a dental filling material such as porcelain or a tooth coloured resin (composite).

Amalgam (silver coloured) fillings can be offered; however, by nature they are visible and many people choose to replace these for a more natural looking filling.

The advantage of a dental filling is that it helps prevent further decay, and consequently more complex treatments.
