Services

Smile Makeover

Our Smile Makeover service combines multiple cosmetic dental treatments to transform your appearance. Using advanced planning techniques, we address tooth colour, shape, and alignment to create natural-looking, harmonious smiles. Patients benefit from improved confidence and facial aesthetics through tailored treatment plans.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments deliver dramatic results while maintaining dental health. We offer both in-clinic laser whitening and custom home whitening systems using premium-grade bleaching gels. Patients achieve brighter smiles safely under dental supervision with minimal sensitivity.

Composite Bonding

This minimally invasive procedure restores chipped or discoloured teeth using tooth-coloured resin. Our dentists skillfully match the material to your natural tooth shade, creating seamless repairs that enhance smile aesthetics. The treatment preserves tooth structure while delivering immediate visual improvements.

Porcelain Veneers

Custom-crafted porcelain veneers provide permanent solutions for smile imperfections. Our laboratory technicians create ultra-thin shells that bond to tooth surfaces, correcting colour, shape, and alignment issues. Patients receive durable, stain-resistant restorations that mimic natural tooth translucency.

Dental Implants

Implant-supported restorations replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Our specialists perform comprehensive treatment planning using 3D imaging to ensure optimal implant placement. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and facial structure preservation through integrated implant solutions.

My experience of London Smiling has been wonderful and Dr. Uchenna is absolutely amazing. She really is the 'tooth fairy'! If you are thinking of having treatment, don't delay. I wish I had done so years ago, but I didn't know about Dr. U. From your very first consultation appointment, right through to your final treatment, you will be in excellent hands. I can't praise London Smiling and Dr. U highly enough.

I have been a patient of this practice since they opened many years ago. I had a smile make over 14 years ago and have never looked back. The care provided by the team headed by Dr Okoye is second to none. I willing go to the dentist and hygienist because I have always had the best care. I feel valued and cared for and because of the amazing make over I look years younger than my real age. I would always highly recommend this surgery where pain free dentistry is very much the order of the day. Thanks for looking after me.

I'm usually really nervous about going to the dentist but decided to take the bull by the horns after doing some research into London Smiling. Uchenna and her team are absolutely fantastic. You're immediately put at ease and everyone is kind, extremely knowledgeable and good humoured. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I bought the whitening toothpaste and stick. I used only the whitening toothpaste for 1 month. After taking before/ after pictures, there was absolutely no difference. The following month, I used the toothpaste along with the stick as per instructions. After the 2nd month I took another picture and again, absolutely no difference. I contacted London Smiling to get a refund and was completely ignored.

This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour and is fraudulent. They are selling goods reporting to whiten teeth when they don't do it. Not to mention that I paid over 40. I'm absolutely furious and can't believe they have such good reviews.

I cannot recommend highly enough! After many years of dental procedure phobia, everyone has been so patient and kind that finally I can have the smile I've longed for! Thank you to everyone. If you want top rated dental work along with 5 star care this is the place for you.

2 minutes ago I have never set foot in a dental practice and felt so welcome and in safe hands. Precautions taken with regards to Covid have been reassuring and the treatment has been gentle, no pain. This has left me looking forward to my next visit (which is first! ) when my temporary vaneers are replaced with the permanent ones. Going by the standard of the temporary ones they will look amazing!

Thank you so much Dr Uchenna for putting a beautiful smile back on my face and making that smile one I only ever dreamed of having. Teeth are complete and I am so happy with the result. Such an amazing dentist and nothing but perfection will do for her.
