"They just want money. My 11 years old daughter had an hygienist appointment and got her teeth done. After 2 months, this woman dentist said that my daughter needed to see the hygienist again as her teeth are very dirty. Told same thing to me. Changed dental practice and new dentist said we are doing very well in cleaning our teeth! Stay away from here!"

"Dr Shahab is an excellent dentist who is very knowledgable and experienced. Staff are very welcoming and well organised. Would highly recommend this practice."

"I've been a patient at this surgery for many years. Mr Mirjafari has always made me feel at ease as I'm very nervous. He has done a fantastic job on my front teeth thank u so much Catherine Fitzell"

"Hi everyone, I have been coming to this practice for years (13) and they made my fear of dentists vanish. Dr Shahab, my dentist is an absolute genius. Apart from explaining everything he's going to do in every aspect, pros and cons so there is no surprises and you know what to expect, everything he has done in my mouth so far has been excellent. A few years ago I chose to do a bridge instead of an implant because I thought it was going to take to long, would be painful as some friends who had it done in another dentists have mentioned to me. The bridge was an excellent match to my teeth and after a few days it fell part of my mouth, like it always was there, I was so happy, still am. Not only that, I had no pain apart from the uncomfortable feeling of the anesthetic, next day I was ok. This time, as it was only one tooth I decided to be strong and have an implant. I was scared as I had little bone and was near my sinus but after growing some bone, doing some specific X-rays and everything to make absolutely sure it was possible I finally had it done and, WOW, that's all I can say. Only first part is done, implant in the gum. After 1 1/2 hours in the chair, not feeling anything, I come out with a bit of swollen gum, which is expected and uncomfortable feeling, after 4h i don't really feel any pain but still a bit uncomfortable so I take 2 paracetamol to go to sleep just in case. I slept well, no pain, and next day I am fine...no pain and almost as normal feeling in my mouth. Stitches have disappeared in a week and I kept my mouth clean. Today I had the 2 week check up and It's perfect and ready for the next step in 3 months. Thank you Dr Shahab for being such a wonderful dentist. If you, like me, had a fear of dentists...don't fear no more, they are wonderful, the stuff is also very helpful and polite. I can't recommend them enough, two of my friends have now moved to them. Happy mouth, happy life."

"I have only recently joined this dentist at the end of last year when my friend recommended me because my old dentist closed down After having the same dentist previously since I was a child, moving dentist was quite a worry considering I've always felt a bit nervous for dentist appointments but after seeing Dr Shahab (& the lovely dental nurse), my worry of going to the dentist has gone, which I never thought would happen! All the staff members there are really friendly, kind and helpful, I would highly recommend!! :)"
