Personalised, preventative dental care for every smile in Corby
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.

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!
