Positive experience: All very good, friendly staff that make you feel at home although did give me the wrong group of aligners and had to go back to exchange em..mistakes happen hey!
Fantastic experience: My appointment was for a 6 monthly check-up. The dentist and the hygienist were brilliant; it's pity that three appointments were cancelled by the surgery before I was actually seen.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been having Invisalign treatment at Leigh Dental Centre for the past year. Staff are always kind, professional and trustworthy. Prices are better than others for Invisalign treatment. I would definitely recommend this dentist.
Fantastic experience: Incredible experience for my son and I. He chipped his tooth and was so upset, Leigh dental got him in literally the day after the accident and Vanisha (Dentist) made him feel so comfortable and fixed his tooth that now nobody can even tell!

Fantastic experience: My visit to Leigh Dental was such a positive experience. At each stage of my consultation I was met by friendly staff who put me at ease straight away. They were extremely thorough when taking me through the whole process of my future treatment, and using state-of-the-art equipment I could see what my teeth will look like once everything is finished. I am very excited to start my Invisalign journey. Thank you Leigh Dental.
Fantastic experience: They were fantastic - I have a disability and they were so helpful - it was much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I’m coming to the end of my Invisalign journey and I can’t thank Benfleet & Leigh Dental Centres enough for the work they have done. I’ve seen various dentists over the past 18 months and all have been very professional, helpful and polite giving me confidence throughout. Today I see Dr Shah to finish my smile with composite bonding and couldn’t be happier with the end result.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional service. Always happy with their scale & polish service. Highly recommend Toni in particular ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Really nice staff and dentist, thank you for giving me my snails back!
Fantastic experience: Usual very welcoming greeting on arrival by receptionists for my 9.00 am appointment. A few minutes in the waiting room and then called into the surgery where my young female dentist carried out an initial examination followed by approximately 20 minutes or so of detailed cleaning etc completed my visit. I then arranged a 6 month follow up appointment for January 2026 !!
Fantastic experience: Leigh dental centre are absolutely amazing. Jo and dr Simal went above and beyond to make sure i got everything I needed. It’s a very clean and beautiful environment and all the staff are welcoming and polite. I’ve waited years to get my teeth and smile fixed and I left the building a very happy and excited girl. I wouldn’t go anywhere els❤️
Fantastic experience: All the staff are so helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this surgery. They also do payment plans options
Fantastic experience: I would give 10* if I could. From start to finish the experience has been amazing. From the friendly reception staff, to the doctors and nurses, you will feel you’re in safe hands. Approaching the final step of my Invisalign journey and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re thinking about it, don’t look any further than Leigh Dental Centre, you will not be disappointed. Thank you all
Fantastic experience: Going to the dentist makes me very anxious however they do everything to help me be at ease and make the visit as comfortable as possible.
Fantastic experience: I would really recommend this practice. The staff are really friendly and helpful and my dentist is very gentle and puts me at ease every visit even though I am so nervous
Fantastic experience: I accompanied my partner to Leigh Dental Centre. Staff are so polite and reassuring. In particular, Sarah was impeccable in her courtesy and her manner to and with all clients. Her phone manner is second to none! And I wasn't even being seen by a dentist! Thank you Leigh Dental Centre and Sarah!!
Fantastic experience: A great experience. My teeth have never felt so clean. Definitely recommend to friends.
Fantastic experience: Toni was amazing!!! I had hygienist appointment with her and she was the best. Left my teeth looking like new and so so friendly. 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: Visit to the hygienist for a regular treatment- professional friendly treatment as always
Fantastic experience: I embarked on Invisalign treatment in September 2023 and it's been a slow and steady journey that was well worth the time. Dr Simal Shah has just completed my composite bonding and it's been the icing on the cake. His attention to detail, patience, and commitment to my teeth has been so very much appreciated. I put my full trust in him and I have not been let down. Along the journey he has managed my expectations, always given me answers with context and provided me with knowledge so I can make informed decisions about my next steps. During the composite bonding he was so patient with my fussiness to do a bit of this and a bit of that, and we just kept going till we both felt the best result has been achieved. You can clearly see that Simal takes pride in his work, he cares for the patient and the outcome. He wants you to leave with a big smile on your face, which is exactly what I did!
Fantastic experience: Reviewed the problem, thorough inspection, very well explained what needed to be done and very well executed. Delighted.
Fantastic experience: Dr Simal was brilliant in monitoring and giving me my Invisalign treatment. The whole process was straightforward and he was very attentive throughout the treatment in giving me the best care and had attention to detail in the progress of my teeth straightening. The whole invisalign team, as well as receptionists are very professional and friendly. Thanks again and would highly recommend using Leigh Dental Center for invisalign treatment, well worth the money as they truly care about your progress, comfort and satisfaction with the end results!
Fantastic experience: Simal and his team are without doubt, the nicest and most helpful people I have met. My wife and I had Invisalign treatment over an 18 month period and Simal was always on hand if I had any queries or questions. He also carried out composite bonding on my teeth and to say they look amazing is an understatement. I would recommend Leigh Dental to everyone and I already have referred 2 other friends. Thank you Simal and the team.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. Absolute pleasure to have you and your wife as patients and to see the transformation in your smiles
Fantastic experience: I first started going to this practice for Invisalign, which is the best choice I ever made. Not only am I over the moon with the results so far but I had a complicated tooth extraction today and the care was amazing. From the modern decor to the kind friendly staff, this has turned me from a nervous patient, to now, I look forward to my dentist trips. AMAZING!
Fantastic experience: First time having my lips done and Toni was amazing. Very professional and a total perfectionist. I left with minimum swelling and no bruising. Toni checked in on me and made me feel really confident in her ability. I wouldn’t use anyone different and can highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had Dental Hygienist today, with Toni. Very professional and courteous. Very thorough clean but also so helpful on guidance for keeping teeth and gums healthy between sessions. Very happy
Fantastic experience: I can’t rate highly enough. The staff are professional, friendly and helpful and the surgery is spotlessly clean. Nikki, the Invisalign technician was super friendly, polite, knowledgeable and very helpful.
Thank you for your review, Mrs Mahon.
Fantastic experience: Toni the hygienist is absolutely lovely, she is polite,professional,efficient whilst being warm and personable I'd recommend her without reservation , always a pleasure to see her
Fantastic experience: Everyone at the surgery are lovely, so patient and helpful. For something I used to dread is now a fairly pleasant experience .
Fantastic experience: Toni Webb is an amazing hygienist. She’s professional at all times and shows empathy to my needs as a very nervous patient with very sensitive teeth and gums. She goes the extra mile to ensure I’m comfortable at all times and checks frequently if I need a break. I highly recommend her especially if you’ve had bad experiences with other hygienists.
Fantastic experience: Very old filling dropped out of "dead" tooth, called Leigh Dental and given a cancellation appointment same day. Dentist took x-ray, advised on treatment and charges and booked in appointment. Paid a small and reasonable fee for same day 15 mins appointment. Very happy with speed, efficiency and advice given.
Fantastic experience: Recently finished my Invisalign treatment with them. I am very happy with the results. All staff are top professionals and very friendly. Highly recommend Leigh Dental Centre for anything dental related.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service provided, seen on time, very professional dentist. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Well done Leigh Dental Centre. I received excellent service once again today and was very impressed with the care, kindness and informative approach from those involved
Fantastic experience: Absolutely superb today,lost a front denture Sunday,rang up and got an appointment Monday,Dentist was incredibly helpful after I said I needed a replacement urgently! She took mould and arranged for lab to make and to be fitted tomorrow. Can't thank Leigh Dental enough,went above and beyond! Highly recommended...Thanks guys
Fantastic experience: I recently had Botox treatment with Toni Webb, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From the moment I walked in, the reception staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, making me feel comfortable right away. Toni is an absolute professional—knowledgeable, friendly, and highly skilled. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and ensured the results looked natural and refreshed. The procedure was smooth, virtually painless, and I already love how much more confident I feel! If you’re considering Botox or any facial aesthetics treatment, I highly recommend Toni Webb. She’s amazing at what she does, and the whole team makes the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous dentists. Really friendly and very professional. They used to have a bit of a wait time, but they have expanded things and rebuilt their centre (which looks great) and now there is no wait time at all. I also take my 9 year old daughter here and she loves it too.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to the Leigh Dental Centre for the past five years, the whole team are great! Especially, the always, helpful receptionist team. However, I have to give the main shout out to Lauren. I’ve been seeing Lauren as my hygienist for the past 2-3 years and she’s without doubt, the best hygienist I’ve ever been to. I’d only ever let Lauren sort my teeth out when in need! Thanks so much Lauren, you the best!
Fantastic experience: Nikki & Assistant were very kind & caring & explained everything to me.
Positive experience: Only ever had check-ups and hygiene visits so can't review any work beyond that. But the practice is modern and efficient, and I'm happy with the care they provide. I will say that both the dentists and hygienists I've had (and especially since Mr Hopkins retired) are very quick to criticise minor details despite the fact that my teeth are in very good condition. Something to think about when patients are obviously already invested in their own health, a little positivity goes a long way.
Fantastic experience: I was met with compassion and kindness, My dentist took his time to explain in detail the procedure I was having done from start to finish, Im so grateful for all his help and the extra time I was given. The team of ladies at reception are so lovely and welcoming it makes a trip to the dentist something to actually look forward to
Fantastic experience: Dr Shameem is an excellent practitioner who takes great care of her patients. Her compassion and perfectionism were evident from my first appointment with her and I wouldn't want to be treated by anyone else.
Fantastic experience: Completed my invisaline and whitening today. Responsive care to any issues Very happy with the end result I have recommended to many friends who are also having a good experience
Fantastic experience: Super professional, helpful and friendly service from Dr Nabi and his assistant when I had an emergency appointment. I would recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: Toni is excellent at aesthetics - listens to what you wan, gentle - highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having lip filler and Botox done by Toni, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly kind and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and answer all my questions, showing great patience and understanding throughout. I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of in her hands. Her attention to detail and expertise made me trust her completely, and the results are fantastic! I truly appreciate her professionalism and the way she made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also genuinely caring, she's the one to see!
Fantastic experience: Excellent consultation visit. Brad was very helpful and explained all the options available, enabling me to choose the option I felt was best for me. The receptionist was also very helpful in arranging a number of appointments which seemed quite complicated at times. By evening I had received a letter from Brad giving details of what we had discussed and then what I had decided to do. He also sent in a breakdown of the costs and timings which was useful. Overall, the service I received couldn't have been better. Carol Abbott Excellent service as always from Shameen. Procedure, including injection was painless. Everything was explained and my understanding of my dental care and comfort during the procedure was top priority.
Thank you Carol for your five star rating.
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of seeing the lovely lady hygienist Kelly Horsford who’s literally the crème de le crème at her job literally the best hygienist that I have ever seen in my whole life thanx Kelly see you soon I totally 100 percent recommend this lady !!!
Fantastic experience: From the very first consultation, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my comfort and treatment goals. Dr. Simal Shah took the time to thoroughly explain the Invisalign process, making sure I understood the process along the way. It didn’t take long to get used to the aligners. And now I have a smile to be proud of, thank you to all the staff as I can't speak highly enough of my experience!

I was seen at the time of my appointment by the dentist, and he explained the procedure which he was about to perform.

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Toni for Botox and fillers, and of course as a hygienist! She listens and really talks through options and outcomes - which are always great. She takes care to make the process as comfortable as possible. Leigh Dental is clean and the reception staff always friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Toni at Leigh Dental is the only person I’d trust to do my aesthetics. She’s always goes through everything with you thoroughly first and will keep you at ease from the onset and throughout. Toni knows I like to have a natural look and always knows exactly what is best, and her expertise, guidance and advice has never been wrong. The botox I’ve had since going to Toni is the best I’ve ever had and last longer than anywhere I had gone before, so is also great value for money. Couldn’t recommend Toni more!
