Everyone at Smiles Ahead has been so amazing. I had to go in as an emergency patient and they got a slot for me that morning. I had a panicky episode on my first visit but I was given the right support to get me ready for my next visit and tooth extraction. That first evening, I had a call just to check I was doing okay which was greatly appreciated. When I then went back for the extraction, everyone was so reassuring and patient with me, explaining each step and putting soothing music on. I sat in the waiting area afterwards while they kept an eye on me because I was very shaky, and they checked I would be okay getting home. Appointments have been on time, staff have all been friendly and very understanding of how anxious I have been. They couldn’t have done more to make me feel at ease. Highly recommend. I will always come back here now.

I had my first appointment today, an emergency one, and cannot thank them enough. To begin with I sent an email in the morning before they opened and the receptionist that phoned me back at 9am was lovely and so kind. I had an appointment before 10am. Sherrie the dentist was patient and so understanding. She explained all of my options and I was back in the chair that afternoon for treatment. Both receptionists were amazing in person and I cannot fault this practice in the slightest.

The most amazing dentist! I know some people dread going to the dentist but every time I’ve visited Smiles Ahead, the staff have always been very friendly and my dentist always makes me feel at ease. I was recommended by a family member and I would highly recommend them myself as they offer a great service and it’s very affordable to spread the cost with Denplan!

I called the other day to see if I could book in an emergency appointment. They were very kind and gave me a spot the next day to be seen. The staff were lovely and comforting knowing I was nervous, and they did an excellent professional job to help the situation I was in. They also gave me in depth information about what was happening and aftercare which is really helpful and gave me reassurance. They do seem very booked up and I wouldn’t take my example as normal. After explaining my situation to the staff, they squeezed me in last minute to genuinely help me. So be prepared to wait if your condition isn’t serious.

I’ve been going to Smiles Ahead for almost 5 years now and I’ve got nothing but great words to say. I called for an emergency appointment for my jaw this January and got booked in really quickly and saw Shree, the new dentist, which was so convenient as she specialises in jaws and aches. Shree did a whole thorough assessment of my jaw, X-rays etc. gave me some exercises, and sorted me out with some really good retainers plus a temporary one to see me through until they were ready. I’m now completely pain free after following her instructions and I couldn’t be happier! The whole team are amazing and all very positive and gentle, which is great for people who maybe aren’t so confident going to the dentist. Thanks Shree and the team!

The best Dental practice in Corby very friendly personal, amazing receptionist, Doctors are so experienced and knowledgeable .

Michal Gabris

I have been a long term patient at this dental practice and I have seen it change owners and different staff have come and gone over the years but never has there been a better dentist than Khurram. His attention to detail and love of all new technology and gadgets make him up to date and outstanding in his field. He has years of experience both in his own practice and formerly at Kettering General Hospital. His professional manner and subject knowledge are excellent which result in high levels of excellent patient care. I trust his judgement and advice 100%. After many years deliberating whether to or not, I decided to get some orthodontic work done. Khurram worked in collaboration with Ise Lodge Dental practice and now I have the smile of my dreams!!! I couldn't be happier with the result...seeing the finished effect was better than any make over reveal on TV.
