  My mum had a tooth taken out last week by Dr Alisha and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. We are both new patients to the practice and felt so welcomed and looked after from the start. My mum was really nervous about having the tooth removed due to past bad experiences but Dr Alisha was so gentle and reassuring all the way. Even from giving the numbing injection to actually taking the tooth out, my mum said she didn’t feel a thing! Everything was explained to her and she was made to feel completely at ease. Such a lovely experience and we’re so glad we found this practice. Thank you Dr Alisha and the team! Would definitely recommend

  I’ve been to this practice a couple of times. The reception staff have always been professional, friendly, and caring, so I have absolutely no complaints about them. Unfortunately, my experience with the dentist has been extremely disappointing and has left me with no confidence in returning. I booked an appointment with my usual dentist after visiting an NHS 111 emergency dentist, who treated the immediate issue and advised me to see my regular dentist to investigate and resolve the remaining problems. Instead of listening to my concerns, the dentist immediately questioned why the NHS 111 dentist had prescribed antibiotics. Every time I tried to explain, I felt interrupted and rushed. What upset me the most was her repeated sighing and obvious impatience while I was trying to answer. I was in significant pain, trying my best to explain what had happened, yet her reactions made me feel as though I was inconveniencing her. It was dismissive, unprofessional, and showed a complete lack of empathy. The NHS 111 dentist had explained that the pain was likely coming from the underlying tooth beneath my crown and advised me to have it assessed by my regular dentist. However, she barely even looked at the crown before suggesting I should see a different dentist for crown treatment. I found this very frustrating, especially when she hadn’t properly examined the area herself. Instead, she repeatedly told me to brush my teeth, despite me explaining that I already brush regularly. It felt as though my concerns were being dismissed rather than investigated. The examination itself felt incredibly rushed, lasting less than a minute before an X-ray was taken. Although she took the X-ray, she never explained what it showed or discussed the findings with me. She then suggested I needed a filling while also saying that the tooth shouldn’t be causing my pain, which was extremely confusing considering I was sitting there in obvious pain. This wasn’t my first appointment with her either. On a previous visit, she carried out a filling and I also paid privately for a mouthguard. Despite being a returning patient, I never felt listened to, reassured, or genuinely cared for. I left the appointment feeling frustrated, dismissed, and no closer to understanding the cause of my pain. I will definitely be changing dentists and won’t be returning. It’s a real shame because the reception staff are excellent, but my experience with the dentist has been so poor that I have completely lost confidence in the care provided. Highly dissatisfied with both the treatment and the attitude I experienced.

  Supriya and Desiree are an absolute powerhouse! Made my filling replacement appointment so relaxing and calming. I was absolutely dreading it but these two ladies made the experience very pleasant. Would always highly recommend this dentist!!!

  I had a brilliant experience at Barkingside Dental Care for my Enlighten teeth whitening. From the moment you walk in the reception staff put you at ease and are extremely welcoming and professional. Dr Robina Jan and Nurse Silviya were so friendly and explained everything clearly from the start, making sure my teeth and gums were healthy before beginning treatment. The Enlighten trays were easy to use at home and really comfortable. The results have been amazing - my teeth are so much brighter but still look completely natural, and I’ve had loads of compliments! If you’re thinking about teeth whitening, I’d definitely recommend Barkingside Dental Care and the Enlighten system.
