What Our Patients Say

Gosia Scholtz

I have been a patient of Smile Rooms MK for a number of years and feel I can fully trust the clinicians and their skills. The new Hygienist Zaynab has been fantastic, starting from excellent manners through her thorough interview and extremely thorough scale/polish & airflow. I'm very pleased. Also, Dr Galloway, my regular dentist, has been nothing but professional and the work he has done so far has been perfect. Overall a great experience throughout.

Jessie Barrell

I come here for hygiene every 6 months and have always received incredible service. I saw Zaynab Iqra Mirza, and was taken back in how she treated me and asking me about my dental routine (which I have never had before) and with the conversation we had I have fully taken on board all her tips. The hygiene itself was quick, comfortable (as much as you can be). I added the airflow treatment on as well for an extra deep clean.

Lucy Rose

I had my teeth cleaned at Smile Rooms today and they were absolutely fantastic. The clinic is beautiful and incredibly clean. The staff on the desk were welcoming, friendly and efficient. I arrived early to my appointment and was able to go in early for my cleaning. The dentist was so kind and professional as was the dental assistant. Overall can’t recommend them enough!

I am beyond happy with my composite bonding when I was given the mirror I literally couldn't believe how amazing and natural they looked! Yousif Alwandi did my teeth and I highly recommend!!

Composite bonding treatment for a chipped tooth with Dr Mo Hatabi and nurse Stephanie. Outstanding service throughout and extremely happy with the result. Excellent experience all round from the lovely receptionist team to the dentists involved. Thank you Smile Rooms MK 🙂

Rob Francis

Such a wonderful experience at Smile Rooms today! A big thank you to Tia at the front desk for being so lovely, and to Lauren for taking such wonderful care of me during my Hygiene with Airflow session. My teeth feel incredible!

Jennie Butcher

I cannot recommend Smile Rooms highly enough, especially Yousif Alwandi! I've visited several dentists throughout my childhood and adult life, and these guys have been by far the best. I've always wanted to improve my teeth, but other dentists told me it wasn't possible. Yousif, made it happen and have given me the straight teeth I've always wanted. The whole team is fantastic – friendly, welcoming, and professional. The practice is incredibly advanced, with modern technology, a beautiful setting, and a genuinely relaxing environment. Thank you to everyone at Smile Rooms for making the experience so positive. I'm absolutely delighted with the results!

Jade Ransley

Zaynab was my hygienest today and her nurse Daniela - they were both amazing. They made me feel so comfortable and explained things so well.

Ruby Webb

I had my Invisalign treatment here with Aidan, and he was amazing throughout the whole process. He always gave me great advice and made everything feel so simple and easy. All of the staff were so lovely every time I visited—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable. Thank you all for such an incredible experience. I couldn't recommend you highly enough!

Vimal Patel

I’ve just seen Zaynab for a dental hygienist visit at Smile Rooms MK in their lovely new location. Zaynab was very gentle, thorough and knowledgeable with her advice. As a recently retired dentist myself, I would certainly recommend her, and will be returning for her care in the future.

Kian Walshe

Got composite bonding on 10 teeth, Dr Mo Hatabi was great and helped me achieve that natural look I wanted and I was really happy with my final result. Stephanie was also very polite and made sure I felt really comfortable throughout the whole process.

Nikhil Patel

The best dental practice in MK. Great experience all round, Tia looked after me covering everything surrounding the appointment. Special mention to Dr Ommar who was an absolute delight. I've never had such a great experience, info & advice, personally a great guy, one of the best dental appointments I've ever had! No waits, very convenient new location.

Lujayna

Always have such a positive experience with Zaynab, she’s very professional and has a real passion and care for her patients, the same goes for the lovely nurse Daniela.

Alfie Mcbroom

My experience at Smile Rooms MK, was brilliant, the minute I stepped into reception everyone makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I had my teeth done by Dr Mo and honestly he was absolutely brilliant, such a polite man and explained everything he was going to do step by step. Any questions you have he would answer them straight away with as much information as possible. The work he has done is absolutely unreal and I’m well happy with it. His Coordinator Daniela also was extremely helpful with the whole process. Thankyou

Riley Pearce

Pritesh and Shannon were brilliant. I felt comfortable and a lot more confident now!

Mario Solazzo

Visited Zaynab (the hygienist) for a follow up appointment for my gum issues that I had for several years, another fantastic session, she checked everything was OK following her guidance from my previous visits, took the time to walk me through all the results which have seen a massive massive improvement in my gum health and overall oral hygiene following all her recommendations. Every appointment I have been made to feel at ease and Zaynab and her assistant have been great in every aspect of my journey. Smile Rooms MK is highly recommended

Kieran Fraher

Most definitely deserve more than 5 stars if I could put more- helpful front desk, communication and brilliant dentistry team, root canal and composite bonding couldn’t have went smoother and more comfortable Will definitely be recommending to others

Barry Sparks

Thank you Smile Rooms MK, for your care and super considerate manner. I found myself requiring some restorative treatments, and I was quite anxious due to previous dental experiences. From my initial consultation with Mo Hatabi my anxieties were put at ease, and I can safely say I’ve never been happier to visit a dentist. Mo has been nothing short of incredible. His manner, knowledge, and willingness to take the time to explain things and put my mind at rest, was unexpected and very much appreciated. My treatments have so far been excellent, I couldn’t be happier. Mo doesn’t know it yet, but he is now my dentist for life!! Thank you Mo, and thank you to your wonderfully supportive team 🙏🏻

gemma olatuyi

Priya A

Lauren and Stephanie were awesome! The best hygienist so far i came across.

Owen James

The whole experience with Smilerooms was amazing and couldn’t recommend them enough. Aidan my dentist was ledge and the staff (Tia and Kate were lovely) appreciate it a lot. See you again in the future

Rachael Carter

Switched from a dentist in Leeds to Smile Rooms MK around 18 months ago now and I don’t regret it. I have to travel each time but it’s worth it. Private dentistry is an expense so you do expect a level of service, and these guys deliver it to that level each time. Everyone on reception is very friendly, attentive and nothings too much trouble. They always follow up and do what they say they will. Mo Hatabi who I see as my go-to will look after you. You can trust him to be honest and transparent about his work, prioritising the health of your mouth and teeth over anything else. My most recent visit with him was composite bonding and I’m thrilled with the results. He is very skilled and knowledgeable, you’re in good hands with Mo. Thank you also to the lovely nurse, Stephanie! Competitive prices and the place is immaculate. Everyone is happy to answer any queries you may have, whether that be the dentists, hygienists or front of house. Highly recommend and very pleased with my decision to switch.

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.
