Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Barbara, from the moment I first met her she made me feel at ease and as someone who has spent most of their dental experiences sedated due to anxiety this is pretty impressive. She took her time to understand my fears and with every appointment she has made a concerted effort to make it as easy and painless as possible. I can’t thank her enough for her patience and positivity!

Fantastic experience: Attended for an extraction with Oral Surgeon Dr. Juan. Efficient and painless procedure, and everything was explained clearly. Receptionists were all very kind and helpful.
Thank you Tim
Fantastic experience: Today I had my first appointment at this clinic. It is a small place, but I felt very well taken care of. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect because of my previous bad experiences with both NHS and private dentists in London, which left me quite anxious. However, here I was treated with kindness and professionalism. They took an X-ray and even a 3D scan, which I could see on the screen while everything was explained clearly to me. They also went through the treatment options and the prices in detail, which made me feel much more reassured.
Thank you very much Ana
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment and check ups as ever from Dr Victoria Rincon. Also always offers good sensible advice that is easy to follow to help me keep my teeth in the best possible condition.
Thank you Jeff

As someone who is usually very anxious about going to the dentist, she made me feel completely at ease. Her calm demeanor and clear communication helped alleviate my fears.

Thank you Harry

Thank you Johan for your review
Fantastic experience: I first came to SmileUp Dental for braces and it was the best decision. The treatment and the aftercare have been fantastic. It’s now become my regular dentist for everything else because the service is better than everywhere else I had been before.
Thank you Aliya ❤️
Fantastic experience: I came to smileup two years ago seeking fixed braces + wasn’t amazing with tolerating dental treatment so was a bit apprehensive. I found the team really lovely from the get go and my experience has been nothing but positive! Everyone was very welcoming. Dr Ricky + Dr Miguel are skilled, efficient and friendly and I felt confident leaving the treatment in their hands. They came up with a treatment plan and were upfront with what to expect which I really appreciated. The dentists here also have a really good eye for detail. My teeth look incredible now and it was a really straightforward process despite my case being a bit tricky. They were also super accommodating of the fact that I had a mild dental fear and were patient and kind through elements of the treatment that caused discomfort. Would 100% recommend the treatments here! I will be keeping this practice as my regular dentist for the future. Thank you everyone! :)
Thank you Elle
Negative experience: I think it's only fair to share an experience which wasn't great about this practice for both other people and the practice itself to gain some insight. Now that I've moved to another country and finally fixed a tooth which was mistreated here I understand why the root canal service was so horrible at smile up dental and I think it might be a great help to others. I've had my 'very basic and quick' root canal done at smile up dental around 2021, the doctor in charge is only partially to blame so I don't think names are relevant. Said doctor opened up my tooth and cleaned the canals as expected, with just dental glasses (no microscope) then sealed the tooth and sent me home while scheduling another appointment for a check up and sealing the tooth until a crown can be placed. I started having a tooth ache in that tooth just couple days later so I came back and the same doctor decided to open up the tooth again and do the same level of cleaning of those canals as before. Sealed again. Another week passes by and tooth ache comes back along with severe swelling - a full blown infection for which I receive a 5-day antibiotic course and after 2 more weeks I return to get the same tooth opened, cleaned again and this time canals get filled with the material to seal them. The leading dentist was clueless as to what can cause this. Guess what, the same pain comes back within a week or so. In another European country I find absolutely amazing endodontics surgery who ask to receive all the details from smile up to follow up with the tooth. It appears (mind you, I have as much idea about dentistry as your corner window spider has about ballet), you have to clean root canals under a microscope because there are fractures inside your canals and some of them split in different directions, including (sometimes) upwards. At the dentist abroad I feel like I'm in a dental spa, where 3 people work around my tooth, everything is being done under a microscope and I can watch everything that's happening inside my tooth (gross but fascinating) on a big TV above my head. The tooth canals are then fully cleaned but because it's been opened and nerves tampered with several times at smile up dental, it takes 3 years of healing and follow up check ups plus eventually another endodontic surgery to save the same tooth (Google apicoectomy). Finally today, after 4 years and probably €3000-4000 spent on one tooth, another very good dentist in continental Europe put a crown on that tooth. I cannot, with clean conscience, say smile up is good for anything other than regular check up and cleaning in my experience but I've heard they could be somewhat good with braces, not for me to judge. Please, do yourself a favour and do not go there for a root canal treatment because you will only get problems and pain. Find a solid endodontist in your area where they treat this seriously under a microscope. Otherwise you might as well remove the tooth and just go for an implant straight away. I really liked how friendly smile up dental were but you guys need to really up your game, otherwise you're creating 4-5 year long tooth problems like in my case. All the best.
Dear Jakub,
We wrote to you last week to share the findings from the full an open-minded clinical review of your case that has been conducted and await your comment.
In your review you refer to your “very basic and quick root canal done at SmileUp”. We clarified that you never completed a root canal treatment at SmileUp Dental as the time required to do this clashed with your deadline to relocate away from London. The extent of our treatment to this tooth was a pulpectomy procedure and was simply not there to be “tampered with”
We cannot offer any clinical explanation for the duration of your treatment extending for 4 years, and costing you think somewhere between 3,000 to 4,000 euros. What we can confirm is that had you taken the treatment prescribed in April 2021 and not delayed its commencement until the deterioration of the tooth resulted in the pain and subsequent complications you have experienced, the work would have cost less than one third of the amount you eventually spent and taken a matter of weeks including the crown placement.
To summarise, based on the content of your google review, the subsequent email exchanges along with your clinical notes and records, the treatments you received at SmileUp dental to this tooth were wholly appropriate, necessary and correct and we trust the above summary helps unpick the misconceptions and misunderstandings. We did ask in our most recent email that it there is a subtlety we have missed, or indeed a glaring fact that you make us aware, but have had not reply so far. We also asked that in the abscence of a such missing material context of fact that you remove the google review as rather than informing people of legitimate concern it is misleading, unfair and innacurate. Our profesional reputation is of course important to us, but we are always open to listen, learn and respond as we have done in your case.
Fantastic experience: So glad I live a few minutes from here! Professional, friendly and excellent dentist… both Valentina and Stuart were great, explaining everything in detail and making me feel at ease! Would 100% recommend, and personally I think a great value for money! Shoutout to Stuart especially for an amazing hygienist clean, best I’ve ever had ☺️
Thank you for review Cameron
Fantastic experience: A truly fantastic dental practice.
Thank you Richard
Fantastic experience: I loved the consultation with Dr Barbara she gave me a complete analysis, photos a dental scan and suggestions. I recommend her 100%.
Many thanks for your review
Fantastic experience: Had my Invisalign done here and Ricky and amerie have been amazing throughout, and so have the rest of the team. They made the process really easy and I'm happy with the results. Would recommend.
Robert it has been a pleasure to have you here as a patient. All the best
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that Dr. Miguel Sardinha is the most gentle dentist I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. After a traumatic experience with an NHS dentist in the past, it took me a long time to muster the courage to see a dentist again. I decided to try a private practice, and from the very first visit, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Sardinha and his team were incredibly supportive, never judgmental, and focused solely on helping me. I particularly appreciated how he took extra time to numb the area, which truly put my nerves at rest. From that moment, I knew I was in safe hands. I highly recommend Dr. Miguel Sardinha and his exceptional team. Thank you!
Many thanks for your lovely review ❤️
Fantastic experience: Dr Valentina has been fantastic, she is always very engaged and ready to answer any questions and goes out of her way to find answers if she doesn't know them. I have been going to SmileUp for a couple of years and have recommended to a number of people. Thanks as always
Thank you very much Camilla for your kind words and recommendations
Fantastic experience: had such a good experience. i was feeling really nervous from past dentist experiences but they were so kind and comforting. they made a lot of effort to make sure i felt comfortable and safe and understand what’s happening.
Thank you very much Mei for your lovely review
Fantastic experience: I've found SmileUp through a friend's recommendation after moving to London. And have done all my dental procedures with them since. A great staff all around and they're very dedicated to their craft. They pay extra attention to everything they do and are very prompt at letting you know if a given procedure is not the right one or will be a waste of your time and money. I've had orthodontics, wisdom teeth removal, dental cleaning and regular checkups with them. Braces were a massive work to be done, particularly my bottom front teeth were a mess, and completed in just under 2 years. Kudos to the front desk for their great attention and to Amerie for the awesome music playlists during the appointments! Also, if your native language is Spanish or Portuguese and you find it difficult to communicate with dentists in English here in London, almost everyone speaks Spanish here, and some of them Portuguese, and it makes it so much smoother to explain issues you have or what you're looking for.
Thank you Fernando for such a lovely review ❤️
Fantastic experience: Dr. BARBARA is amazing!! Very kind and light hands, she explains everything and the receptionist is very accommodating. Thank you
Thank you Mark for your lovely review
Fantastic experience: Really glad I picked this dental practice. I chose them over another local practice, initially purely based on the receptionists and the fact they have Airflow polish. The receptionists are always super helpful and polite - whether booking an appointment or asking questions in the practice. And a special mention to Ms Cruz who was also always timely with sharing itemised receipts so I can claim on my insurance! The dental work itself I had done with Dr Barbara. I was impressed with her kind demeanour and ability to get full relevant medical history through just having an informal chat. I didn't feel rushed at any point and she was really happy to answer any and all queries. Besides examination had a scale and polish with Dr Barbara since no hygienists were around. I had an amazingly thorough clean with minimal soreness - definitely one of the best cleans I've had in that regard. Subsequently, I also had a medium composite filling done. Fillings are never pleasant of course but again am very happy with the care given by Dr Barbara and her team of nurses. Throughout work done and our chats Dr Barbara has also advised me on other areas, such as orthodontics etc. where the Dr would ask her fellow specialists for advice. I think it's great that the practice has so many different experts under one roof. All in all extremely happy to have this surgery and Dr Barbara as my dentist and would recommend them to anyone looking to get their dental hygiene in order.
George many thanks for your lovely words

Positive experience: V good service and professionalism. My only negative, I think a dental surgeon should be on site more frequently than 1 day per fortnight for a private practice.

Fantastic experience: My wife required urgent dental support and SmileUp were able to fit her in for an appointment the next day to resolve her issue. Staff were really helpful and Dr Valentina was gentle and gave great advice!
Thank you very much Tim ❤️
Fantastic experience: SmileUp was my second dentist in 3 day, being a nervous patient unfortunately my first dentist was not symptomatic to my issues, so after reading reviews I booked SmileUp, well in spite of my nerves I was greeted by a lovely receptionist and my dentist Barbara, she quickly put me at ease, even though I did sweat from my eyeballs, and it was only my first appointment :-). I went back for some treatment 2 weeks later, a dreaded filling, I was so nervous, but again Barbara reassured me and everything went well and now I have a lovely white filling instead of a not so pretty Amalgam. I also had scale and polish with Stu, amazing young man, very patient and reassuring and he made sure I was comfortable all the time. I have another appointment in Jan 2025 still nervous, but I know Barbara and her team will look after me. So nervous or not, I truly recommend SmileUp.
Thank you Gayle for your lovely words

Fantastic experience: I had a particularly challenging orthodontic case, but the team managed my expectations carefully. They took the time to explain every step of the treatment, ensuring that I fully understood the plan and felt comfortable throughout the process. The attention to detail and the thoughtfulness in planning my treatment really set this practice apart. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome—my smile has never looked better! Highly recommended to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care at a practice that is also very welcoming.

Hi Brian,
many thanks for your lovely review
Fantastic experience: I have a medical condition that complicates my dental treatments, but Dr Valentina Campos has been absolutely incredible. Not only did she treat me with great professionalism, but she also showed exceptional empathy and patience. She always ensures that I am comfortable and explains every step of the process. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Took my dentist fear away..now for the first time looking forward to a dentist appointment ☺️
Thank you Oladotun
Fantastic experience: I had orthodontics work done at Smileup Dental from 2020 to 2022. I had very misaligned teeth and was a complex case, which had caused me a growing anxiety over the years, further compounded with a fear of getting braces as an adult. Ricky and his team were fantastic at explaining the work that would be done and showed a lot of patience in me as a customer (I had A LOT of questions and need for reassurance). My teeth now are perfect and something I thought would never be possible. Would highly recommend Smile up dental in terms of quality of work, fair price and genuine friendly service.
Hi Patrick many thanks for your kind words. It was a huge pleasure to have you as a patient and I hope you are happy wherever you are ☺️
Fantastic experience: Recently had extensive dental work carried out by Barbara, I am very anxious when visiting the dentist. Barbara and the team were extremely professional and very much put me at ease. Furthermore I am delighted with the work they carried out for me. I can now smile again!
Thank you Angela
Fantastic experience: Amazing first experience for me and my other half
Thank you Sophie
Fantastic experience: Dr Ricky took care of my Invisalign, did regular check ups and made several adjustments to make sure I was happy with my treatment. Valentina is great and I get my regular polish and clean/ check ups with her. The rest of the staff is lovely.
Thank you Juan
Fantastic experience: I visited the clinic for my wisdom tooth as it had to be removed. I firstly spoke with Valentina who she did some x-rays to check my teeth; where she also noticed some other small things I should be aware of and explained to me detailed what I should do next. She was super friendly and knowledgeable that from the first moment I met her I felt I’m in good hands. As it was very important to remove my wisdom tooth (considered as an emergency) she passed me to Dr Arie who did the wisdom tooth removal. He is absolutely amazing, he calmed me down because I was quite stressed due to negative past experiences, he was very honest about the process and made sure I feel comfortable. Not to mention that it only took him 8-10 minutes to remove my tooth, he also made sure I didn’t hurt or feel any pain at all! He advised me few things to follow and reassured me that everything will be okay. I can’t thank them enough for being so patient with me, they are honestly amazing A big thanks to the receptionist, she noticed that I was anxious and had some tears on my face and straight away she came to hug me, I mean that shows everything about them! Thank you once again, I definitely recommend the clinic!
Thank Elena for such a lovely review
Fantastic experience: I first came to Smile Up Dental three years ago when I decided I wanted braces. I had gone to many orthodontics for consultations before I met Dr Ricky and I immediately knew this was who I wanted to do my braces. I thought it best to wait until I’d finished my treatment before I reviewed and after coming here monthly for 3 years I can easily give Smile Up a 5 star review. I also had teeth pulled and periodontics done with other doctors while here and every single doctor put me at ease and was just amazing. I could write pages on smile up but if you’re considering coming here for any dentistry, orthodontics or periodontics, come here. Everyone, right down to the receptionists, is amazing.
Thank you Tinu
It was a pleasure treating you ❤️
Fantastic experience: Today was my first visit to the practice. The receptionist that booked my appointment was very friendly. When I arrived to the practice the receptionist was wonderful and made me feel relaxed. In my 34 years of living this has been hands down the best dental practice I have visited. Valentina is extremely talented, patient and settled any nerves that I had. My consultation was thorough and she offered me two different options for my composite bonding. My tooth felt uncomfortable for two years. Now it feels normal again. I will be changing from my NHS Practice to this dentist. It is worth every penny. Thank you Valentina and your wonderful dental nurse. I cannot recommend you enough. I am smiling again.
Thank you Demi for such a lovely review
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a new dentist SmileUp Dental is the one for you! From the first moment their level of service from the whole team is exceptional. The receptionists (especially Victoria & Jhumalyn) are incredibly welcoming, helpful and take the time to get to know the patients. Throughout my treatment Dr Valentina did an amazing job and she is truly incredible at what she does. From my first appointment she took the time to walk through the treatment options and made sure everything was done to an impeccable standard. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Harry
Fantastic experience: Started invisalign treatment a year ago, Dr Ricky was very flexible when I went travelling for 2 months half way through and we didn't lose any of the progress. Very happy with the end results
Thank you Tim for the kind words
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank everyone who works within the Smile Up Dentist practice. I have had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. I have always been made to feel welcome and comfortable. Dr Ricky is truly an amazing person and genius. He is the only Orthodontist who was honest, supportive and genuinely cared to go the extra mile. It didn’t matter how long it took, if it was not perfect he was not happy to just let you go. He would work with you and always try something new to get you to your desired goal. My end results would not be what they are had it not been for Dr Ricky. The receptionist team are A Star. You couldn’t not hide from booking an appointment ahaha even when I wanted to hang on to my braces they tracked me down with love to book me in and always make sure I was taking care of my teeth. Victoria and Jhumalyn literally make you feel like friends with their smiles and greetings when you walk in or speak on the phone. The Nurses are super attentive and Geraldine is truly the funniest of them all. OHMyGosh even the surgeon who extracted my teeth was great. My aftercare from removing 4 teeth was so good, I was called throughout my recovery to ensure I was okay and had no infections arise. This has been such a life changing and wonderful experience and I will never go to another practice again. Oh, and whenever I had a personal issue Dr Ricky would always be willing to speak to the team to see where they could assist and help. I genuinely looked forward to all my appointments because of all who work there. They truly make your day whilst working towards a brighter smile. Thank You All, You’re Awesome.
Thank you very much for such a lovely review ❤️
Fantastic experience: I recently had an exceptional experience at this dentist practice. Dr. Ricky and the entire team were amazing throughout my journey to straighten my teeth. The customer service was top-notch, and the front-of-house staff was incredibly helpful. I'm thrilled with the results after wearing braces for a couple of years – a dream come true! Highly recommend this practice for their expertise and outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you !
Thank you for your lovely words x
Fantastic experience: Dr Barbara is great, makes you feel at ease, and she sings well too!
Thank you Roxana
Fantastic experience: After also not having a great expierence with dental practices from a young age, SmileUp has been the best dental practice I have been too. Barbara, Richard and all of the staff there have been brilliant. Couldn't recommend them enough and when I had my new patient exam, they turned into a life changing dental treatment plan and for the first time in years my teeth are best they have been! Also commend their after-care and professionalism which has been fantastic.
Thank you very much for such a lovely review
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service by Dr barbara and Anna! No sensitivity felt on my gums at all during the procedure! Looking forward to my next session!
Thank you for your words
Fantastic experience: All the Staff really great! I'm really grateful whit the Doctors, specially Doctor Valentina,very professional
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this dental practice enough! Smileup saved my teeth, after years of bad experiences with private and NHS dentists. I've had the usual check ups, fillings and cleanings, as well as periodontal and orthodontics treatments, all done very professionally and on a high level standard. The orthodontics treatment with Dr Ricky has been the top experience, as it was a major step to improve my oral health. Dr Ricky has always been very helpful, professional and friendly and I'll be recommending him to others. The rest of the staff are also amazing and very professional, and the receptionists are very welcoming and helpful.
Thank you Daniela for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed having braces in SmileUp. Dr Ricky is a very genuine person and he looked after my teeth from day one. Many thanks to all of them from the reception to the nurses. I highly recommended this practice.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had been putting off having my teeth corrected for some years. I should have had it as a teenager but refused and then later in life visited many dentists but just didn’t feel confident. As soon as I visited Smile Up, Dr Ricky made me feel confident and comfortable to finally straighten my teeth. He suggested a fixed brace top and bottom… The results were amazing! It really changed my smile, shape of my face and my confidence. I can’t believe it took me so long to do. I’m so happy I found Smile Up and Dr Ricky!
Thank you very much Nicola. It was my pleasure to have you as a patient. ❤️

Thank you Lila ❤️
Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with this dentist. Generally I'm quite an anxious person and was very nervous prior to my appointment, especially as I hadn't been to a dentist for a while, but I had a very positive experience and found the dentist I had (Miguel) really helped me to relax. The check up I had also seemed thorough and good quality. Finally the reception is also nice. Pleasant receptionists and nice comfy seats too.
Thank you Mike for your lovely review

Many thanks for your lovely review
Fantastic experience: I had my wisdom tooth extraction at this clinic, performed by Dr. Arie Yuffa. He did an outstanding job, making the entire process painless and facilitating a speedy recovery. The doctor was incredibly kind and helpful, and the clinic staff, particularly Victoria at the reception, were also very supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone!
Thank you Prolina for your lovely review
