TESTIMONIAL

Stories From Our Patients

“I've always had fantastic treatment from Dariush in whom I have total confidence. I am very happy with my latest treatment, a Cerec crown, a pain free experience. An implant he did for me many years ago has been extremely successful and problem free.”

Doug Sue

“Thank you so much for all your empathy, precisions, focus, care and concerns. Great hygienists I have to say. Riz.”

R Khoshnaw

“Dr Dariush is the best dentist and also very friendly.”

Tahir Islam

“I had a really good experience, the staff were very professional and knowledgeable! The receptionist Chardy was amazing and very friendly! Would definitely recommend.”

Doctor Abukar

“I attended the clinic needing an implant to replace a tooth that had been extracted 4 years earlier. There was bone loss on both teeth next to the extracted tooth but Dr Darius managed to place an implant in my lower jaw without a bone graft or impact on the lower nerves. The implant is perfect. After the implant he recommended fillings on other teeth where previous dentists had failed. All fillings have been successful and I have a full set of teeth again. Dr Darius carried out all the operations with great professionalism and care.”

Martin Pavier

“I can never thank Dr Dariush enough for his professionalism, kindness and care. He goes beyond his duties to make sure you are treated like one of the family. It's not just a job, it's his passion and he loves his clients to the extent he will always choose the most cost effective option for the patient rather than benefit his business. I trust him with my eyes closed and would recommend everyone and anyone.”

Mia Gerace

“Dr Hoshyar and the team are absolutely brilliant! I've always received excellent service and he looked after my tooth while I had my Invisalign treatment done. The knowledge and service that I received from this clinic has made it my number one dental clinic in London. Would recommend for everyone.”

Annika Johansson

“After more than 2 years, Dr Dariush Hoshyar has just given me an amazing piece of free aftercare for my implant. Not many dentists would provide aftercare at all after such a long time. I highly recommend this clinic.”

Marc D

“The most professional dentist ever. I trust Dariush completely as he knows his job and carries it out very professionally. He is the No 1 Dental Implant Expert.”

Theresa B

“Dr Dariush Hoshyar and the team has been looking after my teeth for a few years now and I'm truly delighted with the results of the whole experience. From the consultation to the treatment, he explained every step of the treatment, the available options and the procedure in a personable reassuring manner. I highly recommend him for his expertise and professionalism.”

01 — Why it matters

Avoidance only makes the next visit harder.

Putting off dental visits raises the chance that small problems become bigger ones — gum disease, infections and bigger treatments. Coming in regularly is the easiest way to stay out of the chair for longer.

Whatever's behind your anxiety, our team will look after both your physical and mental wellbeing. Most patients tell us their first visit was nothing like they feared.

02 — Symptoms

The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:

01Avoiding or repeatedly cancelling appointments
02Sleep loss before a visit
03Tension, sweating or a racing heart in the waiting room
04Strong gag reflex
05Fear of pain, injections or specific instruments
06Bad memories from a previous appointment

03 — Causes

Where it comes from.

The most common culprits:

Past experience
