I've had two great experiences at The Dentist Balham - They are both personable and professional and completely puts me at ease. Getting to see the x-rays on screen and being talked through the detail is really comforting, and very unusual compared to experiences I've had at other dentist surgeries!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Dentist to anyone (and often do!) Had an excellent appointment at The Dentist. Surgery is very clean and well presented, and throughout the appointment I was able to see photos of the progress/X-rays etc on the screen in front of me. Felt like a very personalised and professional appointment and prices for treatments are very reasonable.

A bridge is made of one or more artificial teeth that are cemented into place using the teeth on either side for support. Resin retained bridges require little preparation of the teeth but conventional bridges can require significant preparation of the teeth. They can sometimes lead to root canal treatments if a lot of tooth preparation is required.
All our examinations cost 23.80 to match the current NHS prices and are highly thorough following our specially designed examination plan which includes the following:. It will help ensure problems with your teeth and gums are avoided or that they can be dealt with before they have a chance to cause you problems.
If you are under 18 and you require orthodontic treatment (Guidelines set by NICE), free orthodontic treatment is available to you via the NHS. If after examination it is felt you qualify and would like treatment we can refer you to an NHS or private orthodontist at your wish. If you do not qualify for NHS treatment but would still like treatment then a private referral is your option.

Recently visited this surgery and am very impressed. The reception staff were polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Penrose likewise was extremely polite, friendly, and very helpful. I wanted a dentist whom I can gain trust with, as that is so important to me, and whom is approachable, and I immediately felt that trust with Dr Penrose. I am so pleased I plucked up the courage to visit here.

After what has been a " long time " avoiding a dentist since my experience of having a successful installation of braces. I had recently needed to have some pains investigated into. The initial welcoming when walking in was great. Great email comms reminding me of an appointment which was made that helped me not forget.
The actual appointment was really good. Explained I was a tad nervous & was really well assured. Had very clear & understanding pictures of my teeth shown to me during a presentation & given options to choose from. Some maintenance works are booked & already feel confident I will

Online booking system accepts your money and confirms your booking, you turn up for your appointment, and actually their online booking system doesn't work. Sorry, we don't value your time (said money will bounce back) and we're fully booked until 7 hours later. Couldn't be bothered adding one sentence to website saying "no online booking due to technical issues" (in 2021, this takes 5 min). Lazy and unprofessional.

I visited the dentist here today for an emergency appointment and can't fault the service at all. As an anxious person visiting the dentist, I was entirely reassured about what the problem was and didn't need any treatment. I was offered a solution for my teeth sensitivity without incurring additional fees. As far as experiences go with the dentist, I was very happy and will be back!

Great service, very professional and highly skilled. I've had various dental work done by the team at The Dentist and all the work has been excellent. There is no hard sell or dental work recommended that isn't absolutely necessary unlike other dentists I've been to over the years. They are very honest, ethical and conscientious and I have absolutely no problem in recommending The Dentist Balham.

Can't rate this dentists highly enough. They are very different to other dentists I've been too - very friendly and less formal, which puts you at ease straight away. I'm a very nervous patient so this is a really big thing for me. Its a family owned business by a brother and a sister and i think it shows in their values - they never make you have unnecessary work, unlike many other dentists. I have a tooth that has been an issue for a long time and they have finally fixed it. I feel confidant going back to them.
Really really good. and quite cool for a dentists

This is the first time I share a negative review on line and I feel it needs to be done as we have never experienced such a frustrating and unprofessional service. Dentist before pandemic was cancelling appointments minutes before the due time, some time due to his holiday some time because he was not able to attend. It happened frequently. The actual dental work (extraction and bone reconstruction) was a mess and my husband was in pain for weeks and when reviews by other dentist at different sites he was informed about the low standards. This is possibly the less worrying aspect as the reaction
