Looking for a trusted private dentist in North London? Our clinic sits a short walk from Finchley Central, and we focus on you and your family. We practice privately with a prevention first approach. Our aim is to help you keep your natural teeth for life through thorough checkups, clear explanations, and personalised treatment plans. Whether you need a routine check or cosmetic options, we’re here to help.

When to Visit a Private Dentist

Choose private care if you want flexible appointment times, including evenings, and access to treatments not always available on the NHS, such as advanced cosmetic options. You’ll often get longer appointments for in depth discussions about your oral health. Many of our patients from across North London come to us for a consistent relationship with their dentist and a strong focus on prevention. If you have a dental issue, from a mild toothache to bleeding gums, or you haven’t had a check up in over a year, it’s time to book.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

Your first visit is a 60 minute consultation. We start by reviewing your dental history and any concerns you may have. Then we do a full oral health check, examining your teeth and gums, screening for oral cancer, and taking any needed digital X rays or a 3D CBCT scan to get a complete view. We show you what we see with an intra oral camera. Finally we discuss findings, explain options clearly, and prepare a personalised plan with a clear cost breakdown. There is no pressure to proceed; our aim is to give you the information you need to decide.

Our Dental Services in North London

General & Preventive Dentistry

General and preventive care focuses on long term oral health. This includes routine checkups, hygienist visits to prevent gum disease, and fillings to restore decay. We use dental operating microscopes for precision, helping us address even small issues. A Muswell Hill patient came in for a routine check and we found a tiny crack in a molar early, saving the tooth with a simple filling.

Cosmetic Dentistry

If you want to improve the look of your smile, we offer a range of cosmetic treatments. This includes professional teeth whitening, composite bonding to repair chips and gaps, and Invisalign clear aligners to straighten crooked teeth. For instance, a patient from Hendon had crowded lower teeth; we planned a 14 month Invisalign treatment and achieved a straight smile. Invisalign Full at our practice costs £4,400.

Restorative & Emergency Care

When a tooth is damaged or missing, we restore function and appearance with durable crowns, bridges, and implants. Implants are a long term solution for missing teeth, with prices starting from £2,500. We offer same day emergency appointments during our office hours Mon Wed Fri 9 5, Tue Thu 11 7 for pain, swelling or trauma in Finchley and nearby areas.

Comparing Your Options: Private vs NHS Dentistry

Private dentistry offers more flexibility and longer appointment times, including evenings, which many North London workers find convenient. You also gain access to a broader range of cosmetic treatments like Invisalign and materials not always available on the NHS. The NHS provides subsidised care but may involve longer waiting lists and fewer treatment choices. We are a fully private practice and do not offer NHS services, but we do accept private insurance from Denplan Cigna Max Bupa.

Questions to Ask Any Dentist in North London

To choose what suits you, ask key questions whether you see us or another practice. Inquire about the dentist’s experience with the treatment you need. Ask about technology used, such as digital X rays or 3D scanning, as this can improve diagnosis and outcomes. Request a full breakdown of costs, including what the initial consultation covers. Also ask about their approach to nervous patients and how they ensure comfort. Finally, ask about follow up care and any guarantees or support after treatment.
