Simply the best.
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 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.
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.
At Smiles Ahead, you’ll meet Nasir for your hygiene visits. With many years of clinical experience and a gentle, calming manner, Nasir is passionate about helping patients feel confident and comfortable during their appointments.
He’ll listen carefully to your needs, explain everything clearly, and support you in keeping your smile clean and healthy between visits.
Most patients benefit from a visit every 6 months, but your hygienist may recommend more frequent appointments if you’re prone to gum issues, have braces, or build up tartar quickly.
While a hygiene appointment isn’t the same as whitening treatment, it can help to lift stains and plaque, making your teeth look brighter and cleaner.
Our hygienist uses a gentle, patient-led approach, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. You may feel a bit of sensitivity in certain areas, but we’ll work with you to ensure you feel at ease throughout your visit.
A hygiene appointment focuses on cleaning your teeth and gums to prevent issues like gum disease, while a dental check-up involves a full examination by the dentist to assess your overall oral health, including your teeth, bite, and any signs of decay or other concerns. For complete care, it’s best to have both regularly.
