Routine dental checks are an important part of your dental care regime. Check-ups enable Our dentists to keep an eye on your oral health and check for any early signs of dental disease. At Align & Smile, we provide comprehensive oral health examinations for all patients. When you go for a check-up, your dentist will examine your mouth, checking your teeth, gums and tongue to see if there are any issues or changes since your last appointment.
Have you ever been told that you grind your teeth during the night? Tooth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a relatively common problem, which can have negative implications for your dental health. It is estimated that around 10% of British adults grind their teeth. Bruxism is the medical name for tooth grinding or clenching.
We have an expert team of skilled dental hygienists, which is proficient in the provision of innovative, effective hygiene treatments. Hygiene services are designed to tackle symptoms of existing dental disease, such as gum disease, but they also play a crucial role in preventing oral health problems and safe-guarding smiles.

Fillings are widely used to fill cavities, holes, which develop in the tooth surface. Fillings strengthen the tooth, and they can also help to reduce the spread of infection. Traditionally, amalgam fillings were used to fill the teeth, but white fillings are increasingly common nowadays. White fillings are also known as composite fillings.

Everything about this place is amazing. The team are enthusiastic, caring and offer great service. I had my braces put on here, and whenever i had a problem, they would immediately book me an appointment ASAP. I honestly cannot recall any bad moments, because every single visit for the past 3 years was a pleasant experience. Id for sure 100% recommend honestly, because all the previous practises I have been to before are not as great as this one! I can assure you, you will be looked after because the team are genuine, and take pride in their work. Thank you for the great service over these past

I had such a comfortable experience with Align and Smile. The process from beginning to end was amazing and everyone is so nice and welcoming. At first, i was really nervous and insecure about my teeth, but Align and Smile made the process so easy for me and I feel so confident now! I can't recommend Align and Smile enough so if you have any issues with your teeth, this is the place!

My 15 year old daughter required braces. Her teeth were a mess and after many appointments with Align and Smile they have finally come off and she has a beautiful set of teeth. The staff both front of office and the dentist and orthodontist have been absolutely brilliant.Great communication and just lovely service and people.

This practice is established to simply take your money. My sister was charged £84 for removable retainers originally and after a few days we decided to go for the permanent bonded retainers which cost £300 so paid the additional difference. After the appointment, we had to go for the removable retainers and now all of a sudden ‘the removable cost £200, our employee charged incorrectly’.
The entire management team were so rude and speaking over me saying it was explained to my sister but how could that be when it was YOU guys that made the mistake? So now they won’t honour the full refund

I wish there was a zero star option rate so I could give it to this dental surgery. My son had his first braces appointment today and because I am except from wearing a face mask I was asked why I wasn’t wearing one upon arrival. I’ve explained to them that I am asthmatic and for that reason I can’t wear one. I was once again asked why I wasn’t wearing a face mask when we’ve entered the treatment room and once again explained my reason as to why I am not wearing one. My son required another appointment so I was asked to go to the reception desk and make another appointment which I did

Just plain arrogant and rude
My son's appoint was cancelled once and rebooked. The day before they rang me in the afternoon to confirm that I would attend with my son to which I said yes. Before I could get public transport directions I was cut off. Anyway the next day we made our way there with a twenty minute walk (took over an hour and a half) only to be told that the appointment was cancelled, I mentioned that when I received the call the previous afternoon, I could've been told then and that it would've saved us the journey. The manager's attitude was...... Not our problem

I had a completely awful experience here. They operated and left an instrument in my tooth (which is apparently not altogether uncommon so could be forgiven) however they refused to pay to fix it. I had to pay for the dentists mistake. On top of that they filled in the tooth with the instrument inside which caused serious pain after a few weeks and the cap fell off to leave me with a chipped tooth which I ended up paying a fortune to repair.
Again errors happen but I was completely insulted and unimpressed with how they handled it. Spoke to both the dentist and management at the time. my issue

I went to this dentist office to get my teeth cleaned (4 times now) and to fix the bonding on my retainer (Im a geek). They did a good with everything. They explain the steps as they are going through the procedure. If you get the £90 cleaning they take a video of your teeth and bacteria, kinda gross, but it is fascinating at the same time. But you can get a normal clean for about £30. They text you in advance to remind you of an appointment. That is pretty convenient. If you live/work around E14 this place is pretty decent.
