Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium root replacements. Our experienced implant surgeons use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term success. Patients benefit from restored functionality and natural aesthetics, with treatment plans tailored to individual bone density and oral health conditions.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made, removable aligners. Our specialist orthodontists create digital treatment plans for gradual tooth movement without traditional metal brackets. Patients appreciate the aesthetic benefits and convenience of removable aligners for eating and cleaning during treatment periods.
Endodontics
Specialist endodontic treatment addresses infected or damaged tooth pulp through precision root canal procedures. We utilise operating microscopes and advanced techniques to preserve natural teeth and alleviate pain. Post-treatment restoration ensures continued tooth functionality and longevity.
Paediatric Dentistry
Our paediatric specialists provide comprehensive dental care for children from first teeth through adolescence. The clinic offers behaviour management techniques and child-friendly environments to establish positive dental habits. Treatment includes preventive care, trauma management, and specialist care for children with complex medical needs.
Facial Aesthetics
Non-surgical facial aesthetics enhance appearance through injectable treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Our clinicians combine dental expertise with cosmetic techniques to achieve natural-looking results that complement patients' smiles and facial structures.

Excellent treatment for root canal. Pre-treatment assessment and Covid questionnaire, and very good health and safety when arriving at the dental practice.

Being a really nervous patient that needed root canal work, UK Dental Specialists were recommended by my own dentist. My experience with them all has been really positive. All the staff were very friendly and reassuring. I had sedation for the process and all went extremely well and absolutely no trouble since. A great practice, thank you.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kostas Ioannidis, for the root canal treatment I had earlier today, and to the entire team at Chiswell Green! I had been a bit apprehensive because of the current Covid situation, but I was most impressed by the 'best practice' procedures in place, right from the start. They have gone to great lengths to create the safest most sterile environment they possibly could, for patients and staff. Great team effort, and I felt completely at ease. Thank you again. Highly recommended.

I have been very impressed with the service received by this dentist surgery. It was my first visit and found everyone very easy to talk to and everything was explained to me in a manner which I could understand. My dentist and his assistants were very personable and showed great compassion and empathy to my particular problem. I felt at great ease and would not hesitate to return if needed.

I attended a first appointment in the Chiswell Green Dental Centre and I was absolutely impressed. The Centre has recently undergone refurbishment and is modern and welcoming. The receptionists were lovely ( even on the phone) and very accommodating with the time of my appointment. I went for an appointment with the hygienist and tooth whitening. I never had such a good experience before. Miss Santos was very helpful in explaining things clearly and calmly.

She performed an in-dept cleaning and she gave me some important suggestions for my home management. I got my teeth impression taken in no time and I am looking forward to start my home whitening treatment. I cannot recommend them enough.

Very welcoming and efficient practice. I was made to feel at ease by all the staff from receptionist to nurse to endodontist. Everything within the surgery ran very smoothly and I felt very confident that I was receiving the best treatment. It was all explained very clearly to me and I was reassured at all times . A couple of times when the procedure started to feel uncomfortable I was immediately given further local anaesthetic and so I had a pain free experience. My tooth settled within a day and so I feel very happy and would recommend the practice to any of my friends and family.

Had a complicated root canal treatment this morning with Dr Franco. He and his very nice assistant made me feel at ease. I had a bit of a dry throat, but they were happy to stop when required to allow me to cough and get comfortable again. I felt completely at ease and confident that I was getting the best possible care. Returning in January for further treatment with Dr Shah. Excellent dental centre, welcoming team with modern facilities. Thoroughly recommend!
