Open Dental Care: Reviews
Fantastic experience: When I say I would donate a kidney if Dr May needed it … I probably would. How she fixed and transformed my teeth I could never describe. Dr May always led with precision, detail and kindness and always made me feel so comfortable in every visit. I cannot thank her enough for how incredible I now feel and look! Honestly if you’re considering going to another dentist… you’re crazy.
Fantastic experience: Dr May is an exceptional doctor and person. During my first appointment she took the time to make a comprehensive assessment of my condition and explained in details the possible treatments. A week later I had my very first wisdom tooth extraction, which she handled very smoothly and professionally. Although I was very nervous for the procedure, she made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would go well and it did go well in fact! I can’t thank her enough! I strongly recommend Dr May and her practice!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist. I had a complex operation and I go through, and they did it with great success, saving a tooth that was almost gone. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment here today (hygienist), it was the most thorough hygiene appointment I've ever had and really nice staff. Back soon for general check up.
Fantastic experience: Great and friendly service
Fantastic experience: I always feel very comfortable when I come here and walk away with advice that’s proven time and time again to work - every time I come for a check up now my teeth health has improved. Nasim is a great dentist who’s friendly and transparent, and every appointment runs smoothly with no issues.
Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend of my dads, I have full confidence in Dr.Nasim’s abilities. He has done a lot of work on my teeth - very well
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this independent dentist since it opened. Always had a great experience. Nasim and Anna provide a great dentist and hygienist service respectively.
Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend, I went here for a check-up + hygiene appointment. Easy-to-reach location, friendly & direct communication, flexible scheduling and competent professionals. Very happy with the service I received and happy to say that I found my dentist in London.
Fantastic experience: Love this place - friendly staff, extremely knowledgable and efficient service.
Fantastic experience: Dr Nasim is such a great professional. Perfect experience!
Fantastic experience: Great experience, staff are very knowledgeable and offers high level of dental service.
Fantastic experience: Nice experience with doctor may Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have seen both dentists and the hygienist at this practice and all are excellent and extremely patient. Infact all the staff here are friendly, professional and helpful. In London it can prove difficult to get a prompt appointment at a dentist but I have not had that problem here. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Open Dental for 9 years and treated by Nasim. I have found Nasim to be one of the best dentists I have seen and would not go anywhere else. I find him to be very professional and is a highly skilled dentist. I like that he is human and honest in his approach to treatment. He is very thorough in his explanations and always gives options. He actually makes me look forward to visiting the dentist. Not only is Nasim great, but the reception is very warm and welcoming and. Making contact outside visits is effortless. They are always polite and efficient in responding. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff with efficient, on time and effective service
Fantastic experience: I actually enjoy my visits to the dentist. Everyone at Open Dental Care is professional, helpful and professional. Dr Nasim is a thorough and skilled dentist. Diagnostics, treatment and after care are all exemplary.
Fantastic experience: Everyone that works here, literally the whole staff, are amazing! They are all so welcoming, kind and professional. Dr May especially has been amazing, when I came in for an emergency she attended to me carefully and with kindness and when I started my Invisalign process she has also been honest and professional staring at the end of it that it’s 97% there rather than 100% and accepted to keep going and requested more aligners until we achieved the 100% result. Rachael is also so wonderful with her big positive energy and smiles. When I have an appointment I tend to book them in the morning, because who doesn’t want to start their day with a full cup of positivity!
Fantastic experience: Speaking as someone who has always had a slight phobia about dental check-ups, I can honestly say that the treatment and consultation style at "Open Dental Care" is the best I have ever experienced. I am immediately put at ease and feel comfortable in the knowledge that I am in the most capable and caring hands.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Open Dental Care for around a decade and can not recommend Dr May more highly, I have never felt in safer hands. She really listens to and understands your requests – whether medical or cosmetic – and pays great attention to detail as well as being incredibly knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been through extensive dental work over the past few months, Dr May has been amazing. As a nervous patient she took her time, explained everything and was gentle. Can not recommend this place and Dr May enough. Thank you!
Thank you Sarah for saying Dr May is a gentle dentist. We appreciate your recommendation
Open Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: I heard about Open Dental from a friend who strongly recommended both the hygienist and the dentists there. Since then i've had a number of appointments to address some ongoing issues that have gotten worse recently. I've seen Naila for hygienist appointments and May for dentistry. They have both been professional and friendly, and they've both produced consistently high quality work. I live in south London but for me it's well worth travelling up to go somewhere i'm comfortable and where I know i'm getting a quality service
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Open Dental Care for over 6 years now and everyone is warm and welcome. From the receptionist Racheal who welcomes you with the brightest smile before your treatment that makes you feel easy and comfortable. Dr. May Abdulla, Dr. Nassim Mechoui & Ms. Naila Shaw my hygiene therapist are the best! Thank you for all of these years Let’s all smile with confidence George ⭐️
Thank you for such a lovely review. It is always a pleasure treating you
Open Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: I went to visit Doctor Nasim with a broken molar. He carried out a thorough examination and advised me of my options in an open and frank manner including pricing. I was given a temporary filling at no additional cost, so that I could weigh the options over the next few weeks and decide what was best for me. I went with a ceramic crown which required 2 visits. The first to remove the remnants of the decayed part of the molar and to take a scan for the crown. The 2nd to fit the crown. Dr. Nasim and his assistant were very efficient in all 3 of our encounters ensuring minimal discomfort and no pain. Very pleased with the outcome of my procedure. The crown fits perfectly and I am delighted that he saved as much of my molar as possible. Highly recommend Dr Nasim and the Team at Open Dental Care.
Thank you for your kind words Niall.
Open Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: I don't say this lightly: Dr. Nasim is the best dentist I have ever had. He and his staff are incredibly professional and caring. I had several problematic teeth, including a broken tooth with very bad roots, which we just successfully replaced with a top-notch implant. Dr. Nasim did a fantastic job every single time. Thanks to him, I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist. For these reasons, I highly recommend this practice.
Thank you for your kind review
Fantastic experience: Usual professional service and care from Ñas and Ana.
It has always been a pleasure treating you over the years Aidan.
Open Dental Care Team

It’s always a pleasure seeing you at our clinic Luca
Open Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: I have never had such an amazing dentist. Dr May is so knowledgable and provides such excellent care. Really can’t recommend Open Dental enough
Thank you Matt for your kind words. It’s a pleasure you choose us for your dental care.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars aren’t enough! I have been coming to see Dr May for almost 2 years, super lovely practise that I actually enjoy coming to due to all the lovely staff. I completed my invisalign with Dr May, 6 months on and a few of my friends have opted to go for it as well! I am so happy with my results. Her patience throughout the process to answer my questions and make tweaks to my programme was exemplary, making me feel totally comfortable at all times. So happy my partner and I have moved to open dental care, would recommend to anyone!
Always a pleasure to see you at our Clinic Emily.
Negative experience: I did some fillings less than a year ago with Nasim Mechou. During appointments he was very rushed, and I felt like for the number of fillings we should have had more time during our appointments. He also didn’t use dental dam (to isolate the operative side), and didn’t check the bite after fillings were done. In two of my tooth he didn’t leave space where the filling was done in between the teeth so I couldn’t floss. For my second time I recently went to another dental practice. The other dentist has noticed that there was an overhang in one of the fillings (which was done by Nasim) he had to smooth out during the appointment. There was another filling I had to do at the top of the teeth, but as the dentist started the drilling, he noticed that there was some decay underneath the previous filling that was not visible on the X-Ray. He had to remove the previous filling and additional decay from there. Because this part was under the filling, and only little time has passed after my previous appointment, there was a high chance that it was just some leftover from the previous appointment with Nasim. After I checked that was a filling done by him less than a year ago, so the decay shouldn’t have been formed in such little time, and that part under the filling was completely isolated. I went to the dentist this time because I had some pain in the right side, however I didn’t have to do any fillings as X-Ray looks fine. It may also be due to the fact that Nasim didn’t completely remove the decay there as well and so now it causes the pain. Update: I had to redo my previous fillings as I had some pain, and all of them had some decay underneath (4 fillings). Almost all fillings that I did with Nasim I had to redo.
Fantastic experience: Love coming here! Efficient and welcoming, Open Dental Care offer a highly skilful, professional, caring and holistic service. Gentle, thoughtful, intuitive and collaborative, they work together beautifully as a team to offer a personal and nuanced service. Their care has transformed my teeth, and enhanced my wellbeing. I look forward to each visit, and always step out afterwards feeling refreshed, joyful and sparkly. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Three years on and getting the Invisilign procedure was definitely the best decision I ever made! Invisilign has transformed my confidence and the treatment from Dr May was faultless. She has exceptionally high standards and is a stickler for the perfect finish. I genuinely cannot recommend the treatment and her services highly enough.
Such kind words Stacey, it was a pleasure treating you!
Kind regards
Open Dental Team
Fantastic experience: Excellent care from Dr May. Would highly recommend her
Thank you Lucy. It’s a pleasure to have you as our patient.
Open Dental Team
Fantastic experience: Dr May is incredible at what she does. I first visited her a few years ago for Botox to tackle my bruxism, and since then, I've trusted her with my aesthetic Botox and lip filler. She's an artist – I'm always so happy with the results and they look so natural.
Thank you Laura! Thank you for trusting us and your loyal custom. It’s always a pleasure to see you in clinic
Best wishes
Open Dental Team
Fantastic experience: Dr May and the team deliver a thorough, friendly and professional service. They took the time to ensure that I understood all the options available and I was very happy with the treatment process from start to finish.
Thank you for your kind review Tom.
We hope to see you again.
Open Dental Team
Fantastic experience: Small, but personal, practise which is great. The team is excellent and attentive, bookings are easy and the quality of the service offered is great. Would recommend to others.
Thank you Hugh for your wonderful words.
It was a pleasure treating you!
Fantastic experience: Dr May Abdulla is a friendly and professional dentist. She ensured I understood the work/ procedure every step of the way. She redesigned my smile and it has given me so much confidence in my life. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words and trusting us with your smile journey!
Negative experience: Worst dentist I’ve had. Dr May convinced me to replace perfectly good fillings, rushed the jobs (4 fillings in 1 hour) and caused more problems than I came for. They were not able to fix the issues they introduced after multiple revisits, eventually I had to go to another dentist to replace all the work done here and even do a root canal. Come here for a hygienist visit if you must but DO NOT have restorative treatments
Dear L,
Thank you for taking the time in writing a review.
However, it is important as a small and independent practice for us to comment on this review as there are several inaccuracies which need to be considered.
You have mentioned that you had 4 fillings within an hour which you have commented was rushed. Unfortunately this is not the case.
Your treatment plan was split over two appointments. One was preparation and one was fitting of porcelain fillings (inlays).
Only one tooth was completed at first visit.
Importantly in your review you have commented that you needed convincing to replace "perfectly good fillings" by Dr May.
We have reviewed your xrays prior to this response and stand by the treatment plan you had. Unfortunately for you, all these existing restorations had really large carious lesions (decay) beneath the fillings. Additionally all the decay was extremely close to the nerve. Leaving these cavities untreated would have caused certain loss of the teeth through abscesses/infections. Under no circumstance should this be left and it is with your own interest that treatment was advised.
Due to confidentiality we will not publish your xrays but we will be emailing you a copy of your annotated radiographs to show the clear diagnosis which needed treatment.
I can also confirm from your notes you were also warned that root canal treatment may be possible due to the depth of the decay. You also signed a consent form which clearly stated that root canal treatment may also be required prior to any work being carried out by Dr May.
We are sorry that you had to have further work to a particular tooth. That was the only one that we were made aware of as having some issues. As a practice we are always trying to improve our service and care for the benefit of our patients. Our clinicians regularly provide peer reviews for each other looking at previous treatment including notes and radiographs where we discuss cases. In this case we can definitively state that your received the correct diagnosis and treatment as well an intervention required. You were so correctly warned pre-operatively of the risk of sensitivity which could lead to root canal treatment.
We always want our patients to leave in a better position than when they entered that practice and we will be contacting you to invite you to re-discuss your treatment as well as your radiographs taken prior, during and after treatment.
We do wish you the best for the future and hope that the treatment you received will give you a favourable outcome in the years ahead.
Warmest regards,
Open Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Open Dental and Dr May for a while now. Initially i started going for Botox in my jaw to stop me grinding my teeth, which was a game changer. More recently i decided to go for Invisalign treatment, as I was unhappy with my smile. Dr May is brilliant. She has an incredible attention to detail, is patient and made the process as easy and painless as possible. I couldn't be happier with the result and cannot recommend her highly enough.
It was a true pleasure treating you Natalie.
Thank you for putting your trust in me
Best wishes
Dr May
Negative experience: Doctors looks always in hurry not providing enough details and giving enough time for patient to settle in
Thank you for your email and taking time for the review.
I’m sorry you felt that there were aspects of your patient journey that didn’t meet expectations.
You did have two separate examinations explaining the treatment required prior to booking the procedure. We also provided a detailed treatment plan and email explaining the cost, specific materials to be used and what the procedure will involve on the day.
A detailed consent form was provided prior to treatment as well.
I’m glad after our follow up email ,you felt the treatment itself has gone well and the tooth now feels back to normal.
We wish you all the best
Fantastic experience: I had my root canal treatment by Dr Nassim. He is very caring, calm and meticulous with the level of care he provides. I am a patient who suffers from a phobia of needles and my experience with Dr Nassim was fabulous I didn't feel a single thing, bless his hands!! I, then had root canal, he put me at ease I have high confidence that he has done his very best to save my tooth. I can’t thank him enough! I am currently pain-free and really glad I chose Open Dental Care to meet such a great dentist as Dr Nassim. Highly recommend him and the practice without hesitation to anyone needing specialist root canal treatment. With Dr Nassim, you will be in the best hands. Highly recommended.
Thank you Sakina, we are so glad you are happy with your treatment at Open Dental Care
Fantastic experience: Been there as a patient for many years every one did their job professionally and patiently will recommend it for friends and family for sure.
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I'm really glad I came across Open Dental Care – I had the best experience with them during my Invisalign treatment and I couldn't recommend them more. Dr May is an excellent dentist, she is very professional and caring, and it showed throughout the entire process. The level of support I received was truly remarkable, making sure that I achieve a perfect result by the end of my treatment, which I did and I'm very happy about :)
Thank you Belen, it was always a pleasure seeing you in clinic. Thank you for trusting me with your Invisalign Journey.
Best wishes
Dr May
Fantastic experience: Dr. May and Shaila are extremely professional, caring and their attention to detail is truly unmatched. I did my Invisalign treatment with Dr.May and couldn’t be more pleased with the results and support throughout the whole process :)
Thank your Vera. It was a pleasure treating you and thank you for trusting us with your smile.
Best wishes
Dr May
Positive experience: Wonderful practice. Friendly, gentle staff, good availability and generally running on time. Relaxing atmosphere and compassionate practitioners. Great for nervous patients! Only downside is making appointments could be made a bit more efficient. I hadn’t been to the dentist for at least 5 years since moving to London - a delay that was further prolonged by the pandemic - so I was quite nervous about the state of my oral health. Nasim was quick and reassuring and gave me options for making my fillings work more comfortable. Naila the hygienist is just wonderful. Due to my own negligence my first cleaning was horrifically painful but Naila’s gentle demeanour helped keep me calm - she encouraged me and reassured me throughout saying I was doing so well, and kept me updated on how far she was through the process. I never feel judged or shamed by the staff here, just encouraged and supported to improve my habits. Even though I moved out of the area I’ve stayed on with Open Dental Care as I know I can trust them to take care of me! I also appreciate the ceiling TV in the dental room and a choice of music in the hygienist room. Helps distract and relax, makes it even a little spa-like! The only thing I would improve would be I’d love to be able to book appointments instantly online - while the receptionist is generally quick to respond (and very friendly and efficient at the practice also), it’s the only thing about the place that feels a bit outdated having to phone or email.
Fantastic experience: Went there for checkup and hygienist. Very much satisfied by service: everything was very professional and fast. Prices are also reasonable.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Nasim for all your work over the last few months. I'm delighted with the results.
Fantastic experience: I'm happy I found this dental practice. Dr May is a professional and competent dentist. She explained everything and made me comfortable. I'm happy with the result.
Fantastic experience: Great service! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I dread seeing the hygienist and going to the dentist in general so did lots of research before choosing Open Dental. Naila is an excellent hygienist. Thorough, caring and super efficient. You can tell she loves her job!
Fantastic experience: My Invisalign Lite treatment. I contracted Open Dental Care because I was interested in hearing more about Invisalign treatment. Within a few days I have a FaceTime call with Dr May where she explained everything to me that I needed to know about the treatment and answered all the questions I had. I was shortly invited in for an assessment to start my Invisalign journey, I felt well looked after and was confident coming in for checkups. If I ever ran into problems the staff were quick to answer my questions over call/email. I have recently finished my Invisalign treatment which look 4 months and included free whitening. My smile has transformed and I’m confident to smile in photos again. The money & time investment was 100% worth it. I would highly recommend Dr May and the staff at Open Dental Care.
Fantastic experience: Recommend, really nice experience. Dr. May helped me with my root canal treatment. She is very professional, helpful and kind. Will definitely going back for other possible treatments.
Fantastic experience: Good Service
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for 2yrs now - initially for general check-ups etc., but I loved the practice so much I also opted to have my Invisalign done through here (best decision ever - my teeth are now looking perfect). Dr May is amazing and the best dentist I've been to - she's incredibly thorough whilst being very gentle and cautious that the patient is not in any discomfort. The rest of the team at the practice are also brilliant and highly competent. Cannot recommend Open Dental Care enough!
Fantastic experience: Given that I picked this dentist due to the good reviews, I felt I must return the favour and say how impressed I was with Dr. May. She is a true perfectionist (in the best way possible!) and I'm so impressed with the treatment. Thanks again for your help!
Fantastic experience: Dentist, hygienist and receptionist are all super friendly and helpful! Had a small cavity during my check up and the dentist did right then!
Fantastic experience: Open Dental Care is a great place. I have been to Dr May and I can confirm that the whole team is very professional and they are sure that the quality of their speaks for themselves and I have alway had all my inquiries answered in a very friendly way. With no doubt, This is the best dental centre I have been too and I wish Dr May and the whole team the best especially that they are supporting their patients in a very tough time and risking themselves.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time but visiting Dr Nasim was an unexpected pleasure for me ; he put me completely at ease. He managed to give me hope of getting braces and referred me. The appointments were fixed promptly and efficiently. Dr Nasim took time and effort into his work and I would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dental services. I went into the Open Dental Care where I was given my invisalign treatment. I am very delighted with the results. The treatment was amazing and I saw results within weeks. The staff were all very kind and polite. Dr Nasim was extremely professional and I was given great advice too. I would highly recommend this dental service as they all made the experience very pleasant. I also loved the modern design of the clinic alongside the short waiting-I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely the best dental clinic I have ever visited and Dr Nasim is an amazing dentist!
Fantastic experience: The service at this practice was amazing. The staff were very professional and polite particularly Dr Nasim who was very attentive and explained every procedure and all my options very clearly, he is an excellent dentist. The practice is very modern and clean and there was almost no wait time which was amazing for me.
Fantastic experience: I recently went to ‘Open Dental Care’ for 2 things. First, was an emergency as my tooth had an infection which was literally bringing me to tears because of the pain and second was to get a filling completed for another tooth. I must say that both times the experience was wonderful! The staff are amazing and made me feel at home straight away, constantly reassuring me that they would fix the problem of my tooth and make the pain finally stop! That’s exactly what they did and from contacting them for both appointments, to arriving and being treated and cared for, everything was of the highest quality. Every member of staff knows exactly what they’re doing and are extremely efficient in doing it. This starts from the front of house manager, through to the dentist, the hygienist and the dental nurse. All of which provide not only an excellent service but an efficient one also. Within less than an hour of having severe pain, I managed to speak to someone at the practise who helped in explaining everything while on the phone through to actually coming in and seeing someone to help me resolve my issue. This practise truly cares about their customer service and provides the highest quality I’ve experienced. They’re all so friendly and make you feel at home while also making sure you leave satisfied! They know how to deal with everyone from old people to young and from rich people to average people (like myself). Every person gets the same world class service, which starts at the point of telephoning in up until the point of leaving with an after care call. It says a lot that I moved from North London all the way to South London and have kept this team as my the team to look after my teeth and gladly travel the extra miles to seem. They don’t disappoint you or your wallet! An amazing team with amazing work and can’t shout loudly enough about them. Merry Xmas, Open Dental Care!
Fantastic experience: As always all the staff are extremely professional and personable. Anna Fejfer is an excellent hygienist and it is always a pleasure to see her!
Fantastic experience: I had the best treatment with Open Dental. I saw Dr Nasim who is a pure expert at teeth care - very thorough and caring. Also, Dr May; an excellent dentist who took the time of explaining every procedure she was doing! All their work has been OUTSTANDING. I have been so pleased with their professional, yet personable service. Nurses are incredibly skilful and reassuring. A special thanks to the most kindest and professional receptionist - Naba! Highly recommend this practice if you are looking for a good dental clinic.
Fantastic experience: Really good dental practice, friendly and professional.
Negative experience: Called for an appointment and the lady who picks up the phone is very rude. I asked her for a tooth extraction and she said what “makes you think you need a tooth extraction?” Thats not a way to ask someone the reason why i need one. Then secondly told me “your very lucky that i even have an appointment available for you” after saying i want a different day. No attitude to have towards your patients.
We’re very disappointed to hear that your query wasn’t dealt with in a satisfactory manner. Please email [email protected] to contact the practice owners directly.
Fantastic experience: Excellent attention from the receptionist Naba and perfect care from the doctors! I was amazed at how quickly everything was sorted out, from appointment reservation to the actual appointment. Highly recommended for everyone in London!
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional service at this exceptional practice. The staff is very friendly always with a smile in their face which is exactly what you need when you are visiting the dentist.They are very well organised, and they will provide all the paperwork needed for you insurance provider. I had several treatments here and am very pleased with the results. As for the premises, they are very clean, and they have taken all the covid-19 measures to ensure your safety. I really liked the fact that they have installed TVs in the ceiling which help you relax and take your mind out of the treatment. I totally recommend this practice
Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided since I have joined. I had a few procedures done (root canal and wisdom tooth extraction) and they made me feel so comfortable. The surgery itself is lovely and clean. The staff are great - I would highly recommend Open Dental Care!
Fantastic experience: Open Dental Care has been my practice since 2017 and highly recommend it. Dr May is very professional and friendly, and provides high quality dental work. More recently, I have also been receiving facial aesthetic treatments and appreciated Dr May's expert advice and care along the way - I'm always happy with my results! Overall great practice and service, Naba the receptionist is also lovely and very helpful. Each visit is a pleasant experience :)
Fantastic experience: The Best Service! Anna one of the dentist gave an excellent service. She made me feel comfortable. The service here is the best. Excellent and highly professional dentist I recommend open dental without a shadow of doubt!
Fantastic experience: I have always been very happy with the service and care offered by Open Dental Care. The surgery is very clean, there is a TV on the ceiling in the the dentist's room which is a very nice and calming touch, as well as relaxing music in the hygienist's room. The staff is extremely professional, polite and friendly (all of them: dentists, nurses and receptionist). The quality of their dental as well as admin work is very high. Highly recommended dental practice.
Fantastic experience: The best dental practice I've ever been to. My doctor is May Abdullah, who explains everything well, and each procedure was quick and painless. The clinic is clean and the staff are always smiling and helpful. Naba the receptionist is excellent and gets all of the admin done for me in an efficient manner. If you’re on a CIGNA plan this is the place to be. 5* without a doubt.
Fantastic experience: Open Dental has been my dental practice since 2013. I always feel well looked after by this team. They are fastidious about hygiene, caring about function and aesthetics, and generally very efficient. Tom and Henriette and Dr May are some of the best dentistry professionals I’ve come across ever.
Fantastic experience: Nasim is the best dentist I've been to For over 25 years I was sedated every time I had dental treatments. I needed 3 root canal treatments to be redone and replaced ,5 crowns and adding a new venner. Nasim put me at ease straight away. I couldn't believe I could finally have such serious work done with out being sedated. Also , having so much work done and being sedated every time financially or medically speaking was not possible. Nasim gave me s set price and nothing extra was added. I was glad I had chose to go to him . Every time I needed an appointment or X-ray etc the cost didn't rise. We returned many moulds to the lab until I was please with the outcome. It shouldn't have took me so long to write this review. I still have work that must be done and in true professionalism have already received an appointment. I had a follow up appointment with Dr May , having only seen her once previously. I explained that for the first time in my life, I had attended the appointment without any herbal relaxants. I had used theses previously to calm my nerves. Dr May was a lovely dentist who really cared about my final results. I only had a little work left to do & found the treatment unusually relaxing. Not only was she professional and caring but Dr May had a lovely warm personality I left 100% happy and feeling very looked after . I would not use any other dentist after the treatment I recived at open dental care !
Negative experience: I wish I could give no star. Had braces fitted in and the doctor made my teeth uneven and she said would use filling to correct. Paid all upfront and had to change doctor as she didn’t know what she was doing. Lost my money and time. This happens a while ago but just now I had the change to write a review.
Fantastic experience: After a root canal, fillings and teeth whitening I can honestly say fantastic service but even more so the quality of work down on my teeth, phenomenal! After a few horror stories at other dental practices I am definitely never leaving! You are in good hands here.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service during a recent visit to Open Dental Care. Very clean dental surgery, exceptionally polite and friendly staff (dentists, dental nurses and receptionist) and efficient, high quality dental work. For someone who isn't much of a fan of going to the dentist, this was a rather pleasant experience. I may even 'look forward' to going back for a check-up in 6 months time!
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend them, great service, short waiting time and friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: The whole experience was great! I noticed how nicely the practice decided to move from a white, hospital-like, design to a refreshing orange colour, showing how they care and understand their patients. (many suffer from fear of white-coat which is also induced by a white environment) I was first met by the receptionist (Naba), a very cheerful lady, who constantly communicated with me regarding my appointments. Once my intervention was up, the nurse (Mihaela) came to assist and escort me inside the surgery room. I have to say I was very happy to see that she emphasised with me throughout the process and reassured me, that says a lot about their care! The doctor (Nasim) explained the procedures one by one, in detail, making me understand how these would impact me and was very attentive and patient as I was very nervous. The procedure was not an easy one as I had an extraction and realignment, and these are no easy tasks, not to mention the current circumstances with COVID and so on... The overall experience was great and I would highly recommend this practice for their attentiveness, professionalism and care.
Fantastic experience: You don't have to worry about your teeth ever again. The doctor is brilliant. On top of that , they treat you very nicely . The staff is courteous and the place is clean. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend! No wait, friendly welcome, and my dentist was very likable, reassuring and gave good advice. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Dr Nassim Mechoui who has been amazing through the whole experience. I was a pleasure being your patient Dr and tahnks again for everything .
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nasim and Dr. May are amazing professionals. Very happy I found this place.
Fantastic experience: It has been almost two years I am receiving treatments from Dr May and Naila. I have definitely nothing but good things to say to praise the quality of their work, the fact they take time at providing information as well as the modernity of their equipment. Another special mention to their receptionist Naba who is always helpful and very competent.
Negative experience: Original 5 star post: Straightforward, kind, and efficient!!! Edit: Not great dental work. 2 stars because the hygienist is really good. However actual dental work proved to be bad quality. Under recent review by another dentist who corrected these (a dental professor at UCLA). Had 3 procedures: mended a broken tooth and 2 fillings (on the same tooth). Mended broken tooth: the filling was crooked First filling created a hairline fracture on my tooth. Caused the other half of my tooth to break off somehow. 2nd filling which was to fix the fracture kept bleeding after the procedure. Dentist explained there was a gap in the adhesion and wasn’t properly set in to fit my bite. I would’ve given them another chance but every-time I brought up an issue, the receptionist would brush it off as “white fillings tend to be sensitive” or the dentist would say I was wrong. I don’t believe they honor their 2 week policy call back with issues on their paperwork so I’m very disappointed I’ve wasted money here. Also they pile on charges without notifying you it will be extra cost during procedures (I.e. fluoride).
Fantastic experience: I felt on a high from the moment I telephoned the morning of 27th August and spoke with a friendly, straight forward receptionist, Nabba, until that night, after I had booked to see Naila, the hygienist and had her wonderful, painstaking work of hand scaling my teeth, that afternoon. It is extremely rare that I encounter two people, in any firm, who have such passion for their work, who are also both so friendly and professional! Despite the waiting area and Naila's room looking pristine, Naila wanted to clean the room a little more before I walked in, for the first time! Looking for a good dentist, in Islington or Camden, a couple of years ago, I noticed that Open Dental Care had a considerable number of excellent reviews at 4.8/5 and were award winning. I did not use them earlier, because I had a BUPA business dental plan, through another practice, which I cancelled a short while ago, because my one or two employees were not using the services and it was not economical for me, alone and the practice was expensive. On 27th August, I was really interested in an emergency appointment for my young adult daughter, who's filling had fallen out a couple of days ago, over the Bank Holiday weekend. I was expecting to have to arrange for a consultation with a dentist first, in a week or two's time, in advance of having the treatment for both of us. That turned out not to be the case. My daughter could have gone this afternoon, if she had been free. As for me, Naila, actually went beyond the half an hour, pre-booked session, whether it was because I chatted too much, or whether she kept checking to see whether I was feeling okay and wanted to have a rest from the treatment, or that she really did go the extra furlong around my mouth, or- that was before she offered me any type of music to listen to first! She was right when she said she was trying to give me value for money; she was so persistent at the hand scaling. My teeth have never looked so clean and I must have seen at least 6 hygienists in my life! When it came to pay, I was expecting to be asked for more money, because of the time factor, but I was not. The credit card receipt, from the earlier telephone booking deposit I made, was ready and a number of others, were in a neat pile, on Nabba's desk and the receipt for a final payment was issued quickly. They also, did not ask me to write a review, or put comments in a book, like some do. All in all a great experience and I look forward to meeting Dr May, with my daughter, very soon.
Fantastic experience: I had my teeth cleaned with Dr Naila, she is really good!! Make you comfortable and relax. I am a type of person that can hold pain, but she is really professional and caring, keep asking me if I wanted to take a break, was it ok, and explained what she was doing, which make you feel you are in a good hand! After the treatment, she told me how to properly brush my teeth and what kind of toothbrush that really fit into my mouth! My teeth feels really clean and shiny! The price is reasonable, staff are kind and very nice. I already book another appointment next month for another treatment, And looking forward to it!
Fantastic experience: Open Dental is a totally amazing dental surgery. Used to hate visiting the dentist and avoided it for years and now I cannot get enough of visiting Open Dental! I now have no fear and practically go there skipping and jumping in excitement! Dr May and hygienist Naila are both amazing, patient and highly experienced in their field of work. They both have such a kind and naturally caring nature. They have hands of magic and I never feel any pain or discomfort during or after treatment. They have time to sit with me and give thorough advice on treatments needed and I never feel I'm being rushed out of the door! Love the huge TV on the ceiling, headphones provided and even have a docking station if you wish to listen to your own music! Such a calm and relaxing surgery and I will be a patient for many years to come :-)
Fantastic experience: Amazing practice! Every step of the treatment is clearly explained and I have always been given a choice. And the results are simply stunning!
Fantastic experience: Great dental care! The entire staff is friendly and accommodating. Nasim is a brilliant dentist, very competent. The hygienist is also very caring and kind and great at her job. This practice makes the experience of visiting a dentist more pleasant. Very good quality at an affordable price. Thank you guys
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Open since it first opened and have always loved it (both with the previous owners and the wonderful current ones) Dr May is fantastic and was brilliant, informative and calming with my recent treatments. Highly recommended for a personal, sensitive and tailored approach :)
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a fantastic dentist (Nasim) and hygienist (Naila) practice then look no further than Open Dental. Having known the previous owners (Tom and Henriette) I was very keen to get continuity in the great service they had provided. And Nasim and Naila do just that! Conscientious, caring and professional, they are the place to go for great dental care. They’ve taken great care over my teeth and even more my two kids love going there and that’s amazing. They have provided guidance and relevant information to me regarding many types of procedures including whitening and braces for my children. Their standard of service is wonderful and they are very keenly priced, which always helps. I can honestly say that I am a huge fan and will continue to use them for many years to come.
Fantastic experience: Hygienist was very knowledgeable and explained what was going on with my teeth and gums in a clear and friendly manner. She also cleaned my teeth beautifully and her after care suggestions were useful and manageable. Also staff are all very lovely!
Fantastic experience: I was so impressed with the treatment I received from Dr May. She made me feel so comfortable during the whole experience. I was also very impressed with the treatment I received. Dr May recommended what she felt professionally was the best for my features and I am so pleased with the results. I had lip fillers which were totally pain free and perfectly suited to my face. I also received my first Botox session which was amazing and even after 2 days I am happy with the results. I will 100 % be visiting this clinic for my next session. Thank you Open dental and Dr May!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nasim is a very trustworthy and knowledgable dentist. Also Naila is an excellent hygienist.
Fantastic experience: Open dental care is fantastic. Staff are friendly and professional. I would like to specifically mention Dr Nassim, he is a very caring dentist, patient ,committed, reassuring and efficient. He is good at what he does. I used to be nervous with dentists but he restored confidence. Thank you all for your good work.I am honoured to be your patient.
Thanks very much for your review, Hicham. We are delighted that you are happy with our dental care. We understand and it is natural to be anxious at the dentist. Hope all is well with you :)
Fantastic experience: I just got a filling done at Open Dental by a lovely dentist May. Excellent experience from start to finish very clean,relaxed and professional environment and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend it!
We're pleased to know that you are happy with the overall service and dental care, Katalin! Thank you for your kind words and for the recommendations.
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience in my life! Been coming here now for couple of times and seeing Dr. Nassim. He does take his time to explain all the procedures. He explains all the pros and cons of the treatment so that I can make an independent decision. He always takes his time and he is extremely careful when working on my teeth, he just has magical hands. As I work in the city and most of the time I finish quite late, Dr. Nassim is flexible with timing too. I have been to a lot of dental practice and I would say it is very hard to find the right one. Highly recommend to everyone for a modern, comfortable, trustworthy dental office and dentist!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Amine. Really appreciate you taking the time out from your schedule to add some kind words for us. Look forward to seeing you at the practice again soon!
Fantastic experience: Had a sudden extreme pain in my back tooth. Checked with the dentist near my house and being refused to have tooth removed directly. I was referred to hospital, as they said the operation was complex, with previous fillings, there might be cracks and they might not be able to take my whole tooth out. I didn't want to wait as the pain is unbearable, with the trust of surgery ( I had other tooth operation before here), I travelled all the way from other side of London to have the operation. Thank for the kind dentist who kindly and patiently removed the tooth for me on the same day appointment! It was almost one hour long surgery, the dentist was really skilled and removed all the cracked tooth. They were trying to comfort me with encouragement when I was trying to cope with the pain, THANK YOU! I couldn't sleep last night at all, and finally I can relax and sleep. Thank you again for all the help!
We can’t thank you enough for sharing your experience at our clinic, Wenqin. Thank you very much for your kind words. We are very happy to hear that you were pleased with the care and service provided during your treatment period. This means a lot to us! Hope all is well with you :)
Fantastic experience: I had to have fairly extensive work carried out as a result of shying away from the dentist for a number of years - fillings, a crown, a hygienist appointment, as well as my initial examination. I honestly can't rate Open Dental Care highly enough, I was put at ease throughout my treatments and Dr May Abdullah was particularly brilliant. Every stage was explained thoroughly to me and, despite having a lot done, I didn't experience any pain at all, neither during or following the treatments. All of the staff I met were lovely and the practice itself is spotless, very grateful I found Open Dental and I definitely wouldn't go elsewhere.
