Before smilepod, I was the kind of patient who visited a dentist once every ten years. Then I found smilepod and everything changed. Online appointment bookings, easy to understand upfront costs with no surprises, a range of treatment options and really lovely dentists - I haven't looked back! My dentist, Dr Carine is excellent. Patient, kind and happy to explain everything, she makes me feel at ease and I know I'm in safe hands. With locations all over London, despite the fact that I've moved house and changed jobs countless times since I became a smilepod patient, I've never had to change my dentist.

Roshni helped resolve my gum bleeding issue and performed a gentle gum cleaning. She patiently answered all my questions. This was my third dental cleaning in London, and it was by far the best. Thank you, Roshni!

Smilepod is a brilliant! I have been coming to this office for a few months now-first going to the one in Holborn and later to this one, and I can say that the staff are all very kind and helpful and my dentist Dr Erica Zelesco is the BEST. She is kind and extremely thorough without making you feel judged. She's simply amazing and will help you reach your dental goals.
