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.

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’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!

What to expect when you visit Smiles Ahead

Your initial visit

When you book a new patient examination at our Corby practice, we’ll carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. This includes detailed checks of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, as well as any necessary X-rays or scans. We’ll discuss any concerns you may have and help you understand your dental health in clear, simple terms.

Personalised dental care plan

Once you’re registered with us, we recommend visiting every 6 months for a dental health check and hygiene appointment to keep your teeth and gums healthy. 

If we find anything during your new patient appointment or routine visit, we’ll talk you through our recommended treatment plan. This might mean a filling, crown, or root canal treatment to relieve your discomfort and get your oral health back on track. 

Whatever we suggest, your dentist will talk you through everything so you know exactly what to expect in terms of procedures, timings, and costs.

Gentle, supportive care every step of the way

We know that visiting the dentist can feel daunting. That’s why our team takes extra care to help nervous patients feel at ease. We’ll always explain what’s happening and check in with you at every stage.
