I chose the Harley St Smile Clinic after reading lots of online reviews. I knew I needed quite a bit of work doing to give me the confident smile I wanted. I was very nervous at first but from the outset, the dentist put me at my ease honestly telling me what he could and could not do. He examined my mouth and teeth in very extensive detail including X-rays where these were needed. I was well guided on the choice of colour for my teeth so that they look totally natural. The work was done with considerable care and consideration for me and for how nervous I was. I am very, very pleased with the result and it has confirmed that the Harley St Smile Clinic was the right choice for me. 
I have always been conscious of the length of my front teeth and had resigned myself that nothing could be done about them (unless I wanted to rip them out and start again). I came across the Harley Street Smile Clinic by chance one day and thought I may as well send in my photo to confirm that nothing could be done. Within an hour or so I was sent a free simulation of my teeth looking just how I had always wanted them and for an exceptionally reasonable price! I couldn’t believe it, it seemed too good to be true so I made my appointment. When I arrived at the clinic for my Mini Smile Makeover (stain blasting, contouring and whitening) I was very nervous but my fears were allayed completely by the receptionist who told me I had nothing to worry about and that my procedure was very simple. Dr Sahil Patel was absolutely wonderful, he has a very calm and collected manner and made me feel comfortable throughout. He started by examining my teeth and then talked me through what I wanted from the treatment. He was very thorough in his explanation of the treatment and asked about my expectations. The treatment itself was slightly uncomfortable at times but never painful and Dr Patel was quick to stop if he felt I was in discomfort. The contouring was done in stages to ensure my teeth were exactly how I wanted them, I was in control of how short I wanted to go. After the treatment, he showed me how to correctly use the bleach retainers at home which I think was fab as I wouldn’t have had a clue! What was also really nice was that I didn’t feel rushed at any point, they made me feel as if they had all the time in the world for me. I am absolutely thrilled with my new smile and I have to take a look in every mirror I pass! I would wholeheartedly recommend the Harley Street Smile Clinic and particularly Dr Sahil Patel. From start to finish the whole process was perfect and my confidence is now sky high. I am looking forward to finishing my whitening treatment so I can see the full results! Thank you all.
Everything about this place is great, from the receptionist to the Dr. Everyone is very welcoming and just so lovely. I got a mini smile makeover:- at first I was worried thinking the contouring would hurt but Dr Sahil reassured me that it was fine and after that the whole procedure was fine. I’m excited to see the after effects of my whitening treatment. I’ll be back to upload the results.
I am very pleased with the treatment and guidance I have received as a patient of the Harley Street Smile Clinic. Their support has been exceptional throughout the process and I am very happy with the outcome – a shiny set of teeth!
If anyone is considering having cosmetic dentistry then I would 100% recommend The Harley Street Smile Clinic. I was really unhappy with my teeth before and also hated sitting in a dentist chair, after a lot of thought I decided to go for it. I had 3 veneers and a crown replacement, the results are fantastic! I have had lots of compliments about my teeth since having them done, the team are lovely and make you feel at ease, I’m so happy I decided to do it!
Thanks again for everything. Most of my friends want nice cars, but I’ve always wanted nice teeth. They were OK as a kid, but I chipped them a couple of times and broke one of my front teeth as a teenager which was followed by a lot of rough composite jobs and what seemed like endless filing and grinding by different dentists who didn’t seem to mind shrinking my teeth as much as I later did when I realised how much smaller they had got. At some point my bottom ones became an overcrowded mess that I obviously couldn’t resist annoyingly feeling with my tongue. Later on, I tried braces and yet more composite. My teeth became nice and straight, but they were still quite small to me, and the composite was rough and stood out when I whitened my other teeth. I started halfheartedly looking at veneers online. I never thought I’d ever actually go through with it because of the price and the rumours of filed down gremlin spikes and gigantic fake white lego teeth. I did a lot of research and I finally took things more seriously when I came across the Harley Street Smile clinic and all of their great reviews. I didn’t want to mess around this time. It was obvious that my teeth were important to me and I wanted to go to the best place I could find on Harley Street. I figured they would be well out of my budget though and I’d start at the top and work my way back. The price was surprisingly reasonable and the people I spoke to were very caring and attentive to my questions. I was booked in for a consultation the following week. When I arrived, the place exceeded my expectations. A Hogwarts of dentists it was meticulously clean and everyone was warmly welcoming and went out of their way to answer all of my questions and make sure I was comfortable. I met my dentist, Dr Sahil Patel who carried out a very relaxed and honest consultation with me to make sure I had considered all of my options properly. I made the decision to go ahead and because I’m childishly impatient and asked how quickly I could get my 10 new nashers, Dr Patel happily made a start on my full assessment straight away to save me an extra train trip and booked me in to have my teeth prepared and temporaries put in the week after. I was so nervous. I thought I’d be screaming in agony and leave with a set of weird fake Halloween teeth. Soon after I was told “OK, that’s the preparations all finished” much faster than I expected with absolutely no pain at all. I built up the courage to finally rub my tongue along my new ‘fangs’ and dribbled a big numb smile when I realised that my teeth had barely changed. In went the temporary teeth and out came the mirror. I was overcome with relief immediately. I was simply in love with my new teeth – and these were only the temporary ones! Dr Patel helped me choose the right shade for me and over the next few days the Smile Clinic were in touch with me to make sure I was happy and see if I wanted to make any changes while my final set were being made. Only 2 weeks later it was finally time to get my permanent porcelain veneers. An even easier session in the chair than before and it wasn’t long before I was falling in love yet again with my new permanent teeth. It’s difficult to put into words how happy I am with the results. I didn’t realise how much I had subconsciously covered my mouth and smiled with my mouth closed for so many years in photos. My friends and family can’t believe how natural they look as I smugly smile as they eat their fear mongering words! Dr Patel was as attentive, eloquent and obsessively meticulous as you’d want from someone working on your teeth. It’s obvious that Dr Patel and everyone else at the smile clinic are extremely passionate and take great pride in what they do. Thank you for making me smile. It was worth every penny.
I’m indebted to everyone at Harley Street who made my experience what it was. From the consultation, through to getting my veneers put in, each meeting was handled with care, professionalism and a welcoming approach. From organizing my appointments with Jill, Anna and Paula through to the consultations with Sahil, every interaction with Harley Street Smile Clinic made me feel welcome and valued. A big thank you to the team there and an even bigger thank you for giving me my new smile.
Good luck for the future and I’ll see you in a year!
