Reviews of Bupa Dental Care London Bank
M. M.
I was able to book at short notice an emergency appointment at Bupa Dental London Bank with Dr Ian Kelly. Dr Kelly, assisted by his fantastic dental nurse, Fatima, was able to quickly diagnose and treat the root cause of my acute dental pain. Using digital imaging, Dr Kelly was able to provide a detailed explanation of the issue and the solution he was going to provide. Throughout the appointment Dr Kelly was informative and regularly enquired about my level of comfort - no need as I didn't experience any discomfort during the procedure. I even received a follow up call the next morning from Fatima to check I was OK. Bupa London Bank is a first class Dental Practice with a fantastic skilled team.

Great dental practice, both in terms of facilities and staff. I moved to Bupa approx. 6 months ago after not having seen a dentist for ~2 years due to Covid. Klaudia, my dentist, was very thorough in her examination and referred me onto a number of other specialists to look at a couple of pre-existing issues. Most of these specialists were based at the same branch, which was v helpful as they can (and often do) communicate directly with each other. Although the various examinations were extremely thorough, I also didn't feel like I was pushed into certain procedures, e.g. fillings, which I had been previously at my last 3 dentists.
The front desk staff are also super friendly and helpful.
D. V.
I was fortunate enough to go for orthodontic treatment at Bupa Dental Care London Bank whereby I'm a patient of Dr Katarzyna Proczek, an accomplished and brilliant orthodontist who is an expert in her field and a true professional who genuinely cares for her patients - evidenced by the last 1.5 year that I've been going to receive treatment every 6-8 weeks.
The reception staff at the practice are all very pleasant, not to mention courteous and friendly and, most importantly, always try their best to be accommodating - especially Jordan and Stephanie.
Finally, I was able to be seen last-minute by Klaudia Tombolis, dentist, and her dental nurse Julie, who were kind enough to fit me into their busy schedule, which I greatly appreciated.
I only have good things to say about the staff and the practice itself, which uses state-of-the-art equipment and air purifiers throughout their modern, pristinely clean and minimalistic offices, always maintaining health and safety to a high standard while making patients feel welcome at all times.
C. A.
I had some dental pain and was able to be seen immediately. Klaudia and Julie were amazing and after an initial visit they booked me an appointment for the same day to have a filing done. Was very happy and Klaudia was very helpful in explaining things.
T. M.
With rapidly worse pain in one tooth before Xmas over a weekend, I was quickly placed into an emergency appointment within 4 hours of calling on Monday morning and the tooth was extracted before lunch. Klaudia Tombolis and her assistant Julie were very understanding about my concerns at the time, both related to the tooth but also my personal circumstances. A couple weeks later I felt sensitivity to cold fluids, and went back to check the remaining teeth; Klaudia protected nearby roots which were becoming exposed as the gun receded post surgery. I have ben at this practice under a few dentists for 20 years, not leaving.

Dr Pratish Dholakia has been my, and my family’s, dentist now for over 6 years. He’s fantastic; Thorough, friendly, professional. We all love him. He’s got a great balance between proactive and reactive dentistry. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
c. m.
I had an amazing experience at Bupa With SHAILA PATEL-BUXTON.! The atmosphere won me over, and the staff made me feel extremely comfortable. Shaila and Her assistant took great care of me during my treatment .They were phenomenal! I’ve found my new dentist, and I highly recommend!!
M. P.
I saw Mohinder for a hygienist appointment today and she was absolutely amazing. I haven’t met a kinder or more informative person who showed me all the tricks to maintain my oral hygiene. Yet on top of that she was patient and kind and offered breaks when tired of keeping my mouth open. I can’t remember meeting a nicer dentist! Thanks for an amazing service and to top it off the results of the polish left me the brightest and whitest smile! Thanks Mohinder and to your lovely assistant, a very happy customer here! Bupa please look after her she is boosting your brand by offering such a great experience!
S. m.
I have been coming to this dentist for over a year now, and I have to highly recommend dentist Shaila and her assistant Violeta. Very professional and friendly. I was a nervous patient to begin with but they made me feel at ease straight away and constantly checking up on me. If you want to see a brilliant dentist see these ladies.
F. G.
I have been coming to this practice for years. Miriam is the BEST hygienist ever! Her skills, professionalism and warmth are the best in the industry. It is a shame that I can only book her for a specific slot out of the whole week due to the lack of availability of a certain “new machine”. I hope the practice could do something about this as this is extremely inconvenient for your customers. Thanks.
R. T.
My visits to the hygienist Sakina and her assistant Mariola have been excellent. They are so concerned and attentive regarding my oral health and I feel so assured in their capable hands and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
[.
Simply the best !
Very professional and courteous staff.
I especially liked the Airflow machine used by my Hygienist, Mohinder.
My teeth have never felt so clean 😁
P. M.
I went to see Dr Klaudia Tombolis yesterday and she was amazing! The best dentist I’ve ever had. She fixed a front tooth I had and made it look perfect. I had a lot of anxiety about the colour and mismatched but she fixed it up and made it look to match. She was incredible, gentle and I also found her surgery room relaxed (which helps when going to a dentist!). Thanks Klaudia!
m.
I came in to have 3 fillings with Brijesh and Mariola last week and had the best dental experience I have ever had! I am extremely anxious with needles but they both were incredibly patient with me and calmed my nerves. In the end I didn't feel a thing! I will now be using this practice as my regular dentist as the prices were also reasonable. Thank you to Brijesh and Mariola!
P. G.
Our family of four have enjoyed the excellent care of Dr Pratish Dholakia and Sakina Syed, the hygienist, for over 15 years; they are warm, friendly and professional, and have encouraged healthy teeth cleaning habits in what are now our teenage children. Highly recommend!
A. C.
Well run dental practice. Just had hygienist session with Miriam & Sajia. Great experience, almost relaxing. Teeth never felt cleaner. £15 surcharge for aerosol post Covid is a bit steep but there are some additional costs to pass on.
R. M.
I've been going to this location for 3 years now, very pleased with it. Even though I don't go to the office (in the city) as often post covid, I don't want to switch to another dental office.
Dr. Brijesh Patel is my dentist and he's the best one I've ever had. He is professional, caring and emphathetic. He always takes the time to explain what he's doing and why he recommends certain treatments. I highly recommend him!
F. I.
I have been lucky to be attended by Klaudia Tombolis and her assistant Julie.
Klaudia is a top notch professional, in my initial check she has detected a potencial cyst, she reacted really quickly and within minutes it was double checked, as the clinic’s installations count with the best equipments at her disposal.
On top of her expertise, Klaudia has a lot of empathy as she really takes care on the human side. She takes time for explaining all the procedures and gives you the time to make all the questions that you want (not being a English native speaker, this makes a huge difference).
Her assistant Julie pays attention to all the details and reacts quickly to Klaudia’s requests during the procedures, while she makes sure that you feel confortable as well.
I do not only recommend Klaudia, I would humbly suggest that if you have the option, do not hesitate to get an appointment with her.
Thank you so much Klaudia, you are like an angel.
Fabricio.
C. P.
Just want to say a massive thank you to Dr Brijesh and Mariola. I am a very nervous patient But Dr Brijesh talked me through every step of the procedure taking time to understand my concerns which made a big deference for me also the numbing injection (which I dread) was done with pre numbing cream and I did not feel a thing. Overall experience was excellent left the practice thinking how painless and stress-less it was instead of the usual "thank f**k it's finally over"
r. c.
i have heard some disturbing news, apparently Charlene is leaving. She is one of the reasons why i have stayed so long and encouraged others from my work to visit the Bank BUPA centre. Charlene and Shaila are just amazing and its such a pity to break up a great pairing. Their Customer care is second to none, Charlene has gone above and beyond to help with my dental plan, even to the stage where we planned out a years worth of treatment to finally fix my issues. its a selfish reason but its annoying to have something so good then have it taken away. these 2 are the very best in dentistry in my opinion and think if there was anyway you could keep them together you should, you have a great reputation gonna be hard to maintain if they leave.
E. P.
Klaudia Tombolis was amazing with me. I am a nervous client and she really put me at ease and helped me immensly. I highly recommend her, she is really good at her job. The receptionist I had was not so good otherwise I would've given it a 5 stars.
J. L.
Extremely pleased with the treatment I received with the dentist Klaudia! No pain at all, she makes you feel extremely comfortable and overall a lovely dentist!
P. P.
I am patient at Bupa Bank and my dentist for the past 3 years has been Dr. Anne Heelan. She attentive, very skilled and a great professional. When I first became a patient of hers I had to undergo a longer treatment plan over the course of a couple of months - she was amazing at explaining the process to me, discussing my options and recommending the course of action. Since then it has been down to regular check-ups and sorting out problems as soon as they start to come up . She has been instrumental in improving my oral health and setting up good habits. Highly recommend her, top dentist!
M. R.
I couldn’t recommend Dr Heelan more highly. As someone who was incredibly nervous about visiting the dentist, I avoided them for many years, allowing problems to accumulate. Anne developed a treatment plan that included working with an orthodontist and prosthodontist, as well as fixing all the other problems. Throughout, she has been professional, reassuring, communicative and kind, and the dental work has always been excellent. I’m no longer worried about seeing the dentist.
K. C.
Absolutely excellent service at this practice. All the staff are extremely accommodating and I couldn't recommend this place enough for Invisalign treatment and composite bonding in particular. With special thanks to Brijesh Patel, who really went the extra mile to ensure I was 100% happy with my treatment, the best dentist I have ever had. Thank you again!
N. M.
I had my appointment with Dr. Klaudia Tombolis who was comforting (I hate dentists usually!), professional and explained everything she was doing during treatments. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave great advice. I was really pleased with the level of care and would definitely recommend!
G. W.
Anne Heelan at Bupa Dental Care Bank has been my dentist for many years. She is an excellent practitioner. She has fantastic expertise, is very balanced in providing advice on treatment and genuinely cares about her patients. I cannot recommend her enough
A. A.
I had my first visit at this Clinic today and I was super impressed with the quality of the staff, clinicians, and DRs there. Everyone was very lovely and helpful, the clinic was impressively clean and the whole experience felt like a first class service. The technology they use is beyond the norm and after 20 years of going to different clinics for my annual dental check-ins, this was by far the best!
M. N.
I've been with BUPA Bank for a few years now and really pleased with the service. Top class facilities and clinicians. Brijesh Patel has been excellent; always taking time to explain each treatment / procedure. Jordan who has been arranging my many appointments is very friendly and professional. The whole team there is great. The practice feels modern, COVID safe and very welcoming. Thank you!
E. L.
Pleasant appointment with Dr Anne Heelan having multiple fillings done. She was clinical and reassuring and managed the two teeth pain free on my behalf. Additionally she noticed a potential wisdom tooth collision which she duly noted to the oral surgeon. This was thankfully taken care of while the extraction procedure could still be inconsequential. My many thanks for this extra attentiveness and for the comprehensible manner in which she explained it to me.
e. d. s.
I had several appointments with Dr Klaudia Tombolis and she never failed to fully satisfy me. She treated two broken teeth and I particularly liked her conservative approach in finding the best solutions to preserve them also sparing me from unnecessary expensive treatments like implant or root canal. She is very accurate, quick and innovative and what I appreciate is also the way she fully explains the treatment as well as taking care of following up after the appointment. In the end, she's also a very agreeable person to deal with, which is no doubt a bonus.
I. O.
I am very impressed with this dental practice, with the premises, staff and particularly with Dr Klaudia Tombolis. She is a real professional and I would never go to anyone else. She always fits me into her already busy diary, welcomes me with her positivity and friendly approach. I love her attitude towards patients, she always explains the procedure in a detailed manner so I can understand what needs to be done. I came to her practice with certain cosmetic damage and she completely repaired my teeth but also gave me my confidence back.
T. V. D.
Had a very positive experience with Anne Heelan at Bupa Dental in Bank. I was anxious about the treatments I would need but she put my nerves to rest straight away - She is clearly an excellent dentist and I had full faith in her going through my treatment plan. I only wish I had visited her sooner!
P. B.
Bupa London Bank makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. All the receptionists are super nice and helpful and the doctors and hygienists are excellent. I've been to a lot of dental surgeries in my life and this is definitely the best one. Not cheap but you get your money's worth. Highly recommend.
A. J.
I had a great experience with Klaudia. She not only made me feel super comfortable, but she made the procedures almost painless. I’m now over my fear of the dentist all thanks to her! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
S. G.
I've recently joined Bupa Bank for a full dental check-up and to get Invisalign, and my experience so far has been fantastic. My dentist Brijesh Patel has been very welcoming, helpful and informative during my Invisalign consultations, giving me ample opportunities to ask questions and time to consider options. Charlene has also been very helpful in explaining the finance options for Invisalign, and ensuring I had all the information and support to get started with a plan that worked for me. I would highly recommend Bupa Bank if you're looking for a dentist - they've been great.
J. P.
Incredible job by Mohinder - thank you. Havent stopped smiling since the treatment. So professional and knowledgeable. It is really appreciated. JP
M. M.
Have been attending the dental practice for years and Dr Anne Heelan, the other specialist dentists & hygienists are professional, knowledgeable and provide great quality work with care and a smile. The reception team are always welcoming and friendly and go out their way to help.
A. S.
I have been recently attending this dental practice and I have found myself so good. I was always been scared of dentists but when I first seen Klaudia Tombolis I felt immeditately comfortable and I decided to do what I have to do. During my tooth extraction and all the other treatments both Violeta and Klaudia were amazing, I didn't feel nothing, they were so professional, friendly and I felt so comfortable during all the time.
Huge thanks to both Violeta and Klaudia.
S. O.
Klaudia Tombolis is an absolutely wonderful dentist - I can't recommend her enough. Super-skilful, caring, efficient and painless, and very talented at what she does. And extremely nice! She's one of the best dentists I've ever had anywhere in the world. Don't hesitate to see her.
E. h.
I went to Bupa Dental Bank yesterday because of a really painful abscess on my cheek caused by my wisdom tooth. I came in as an emergency appointment so I couldn't see my regular dentist but THANKFULLY Klaudia was available to help! I was really nervous but she helped me through we had to take my wisdom tooth out in the end which I was dreading but it seemed like an absolute breeze to her I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my tooth! I was shocked it was so quick and painless. Thank you so much Klaudia!!!
N. R.
I cannot thank this practice enough, highly recommend if you suffer from nerves or dental phobia, I have severe dental phobia, I mean really bad to the point of fainting and completely losing control, due to a brutal dentist in my childhood resulting in me avoiding the dentist for over 25 years, but couldn’t avoid it anymore due to a poorly filled tooth eventually breaking . After much research on the internet, I came upon this practice, from the moment you walk in to reception you are met with a friendly and calming environment, you feel reassured and not rushed. They put you in the driving seat, and for that I cannot thank them enough.
The care and sensitivity, previously, of Jenny Pinder and now of Shaila Patel-Buxton is second to none, they immediately sit you down in a chair, a normal nice chair, phew! not the dreaded dentist chair, and let you talk about you and your feelings, nothing is rushed, and you are made to feel comfortable and in control, you literally lead your treatment and that is just so
Incredibly important when feeling so nervous that you are uncontrollably shaking and about to pass out.
Shaila takes her time to understand and help you through your session, and she explains everything she’s doing and goes about her examinations and treatments so gently, but what has now got me visiting regularly and keeping all my appointments, I mean ALL!! dentist and hygiene! is the wonderful Sakina Syed, their dental hygienist, she is incredible and exemplary, so patient and calming, and talks you through all aspects of your treatment, and reassures you if you are feeling overwhelmed. She even stops treatment for the day if it’s too much, Without her sensitive care and understanding and professionalism I still wouldn’t go to the dentist and probably would have rotten stumps by now!!
Shaila and Sakina work perfectly together, they are the best combination for people who are nervous or with dental phobia,
I cannot recommended them highly enough, you are in safe hands with them, you are in charge and reassured and that means everything when you are so seriously nervous and anxious.
T. v. d. M.
Had a great appointment with Dr Klaudia Tombolis. She's a great dentist makes you really feel at ease. She's takes you through step by step so you know what's she is about to do. She's also great chat!
D. L.
Dr Katarzyna Proczek is an amazing orthodontist. I have braces currently and am finding the process really enjoyable, with Katarzyna going above and beyond to be available for any alterations or help needed and providing lots of advice and support. No hidden costs, would recommend!
A. G.
I haven’t been to the dentist in a while and I hate going to the dentist. Dr Klaudia Tombolis and Sajia were amazing, made me feel at ease and did a brilliant job. She is an amazing dentist and worth booking with !
L. C.
With a number of advanced techniques and a high level of hygiene safety you can feel assured you are in good hands with Shaila Patel-Buxton and her highly skilled assistant Violeta at Bupa Dental Bank
Your emotional and mental well-being as well as physical health of your teeth is exceptionally well looked after and a top priority. As a nervous patient; time is taken to be sure I am comfortable, able to be part of the process and informed at every moment. I can take things slow or stop and have a breather anytime needed. My fears have been significantly reduced. I particularly like the use of the wand; a gentle, painless way to administer anaesthetic and numbing affect pre injections. For those that don’t like the drilling noise; gentle music is available or you can watch something of choice as a distraction.
The dental work, care and technologies used with Shaila are an exceptional standard. There is nothing more delightful than to have your dental health, your beautiful smile and confidence restored. I am filled with tears of joy. Highly recommended Dentist.
S. A. J.
I transferred to this practice for an emergency appointment just after lockown and was impressed with the quality of care and attention from all staff. Since then Dr. Klaudia Tombolis has seen me three times. She takes great care to discuss and explain the treatment plan. I am delighted with the resuts and would not hesitate to recommend her.
S. G.
BUPA Bank is the third surgery where I have visited Klaudia Tombolis and I know this because basically I have followed her all over London! I've been truly blessed that for more than 15 years, Klaudia has cared for my teeth. Not only is she an EXCEPTIONAL DENTIST who is hugely dedicated to the care of teeth, gums and bone, she also has a honest concern that her patients receive the best care and attention to detail ever!! I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with my teeth and on a personal level she is genuinely a really lovely person. Kind, caring and thoughtful. I promise she didn't pay me for this review tee hee however I wanted to say truthfully what a marvel she is and if there were such a thing as an Oscars for Dentists, she would win EVERY CATEGORY. Thank you Klaudia, for caring for my teeth, as from a lady who came to you with pretty poor teeth, you have gone above and beyond to try and keep them as healthy as possible. Thank you for your continued dedication looking after my teeth, as I know you have your work cut out for you xx
K. K.
Amazing service. Fast, friendly and conveniently located not even 2 minutes from the tube station. The reception staff were lovely and my hygienist, Julia, was the best I've ever had. She was so thorough and friendly. My teeth feel amazing and she gave me top tips on how to keep them that way. Will definitely be going back to her.
R. J.
Firstly, wow! Charlene Brown, Treatment Co-Ordinator at Bupa Bank, you have the most amazing memory and your dedication to friendly customer service is seriously the best I have ever experienced (and I pay attention to these things). You’re a superstar, so thank you for everything.
D. D.
Having to have a number of important recent dental work in and around the two lockdowns, I have found Bupa at Bank particularly helpful and always welcoming.
The team are always professional and helpful and go the extra mile especially in lockdown 2, putting your mind at ease. I highly recommend the services and team at Bupa (Bank) especially from dentist Shalia Patel-Buxton and her great team.
J. C.
Excellent treatment and "bedside manner". All the staff are helpful and considerate.
After decades of fear of dental work, and painful and/or ineffective treatment, after a few visits here my mouth is healthier than it's been for a long time and I look forward to my next visit. To anyone who knows they need to do something for their teeth, but is avoiding it, I recommend a visit here.
C. G.
I've only recently started going to this practice, but Klaudia and Violeta made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable from the start.
hey're always up for a friendly chat but are also incredibly professional once treatment starts. I would 100% recommend them.
H. M.
I recently had root canal treatment with Dr Shaila Patel-Buxton. I was in a fair bit of pain when I went to Shaila. She put me at ease, explained each stage of the treatment to me, and started treating the problem tooth straight away. Shaila ensured I was comfortable throughout each appointment. It was extremely easy to book appointments at convenient times and the dental nurse and reception staff were very helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend this dentist.
J. M.
Overall very impressed. I have always had a dentist I know and trust, this was the first time I was going to someone not recommended.
I have not been to the dentist for 20 months and was definitely scared as teeth had been neglected (brush thoroughly twice a day but...) and a bit of pain was felt around a new wisdom tooth. This center was the closest so booked an appointment and was seen within one day.. The reception staff were very professional, extremely helpful and informative. The prices I was quoted at time of booking was correct after my checkup.
My dentist (Brijesh) was fantastic and one of the best dentists I have seen. Friendly, comforting but very professional manner and easy to talk to. I was very encouraged. All questions answered and backed up with proof..WOW!
After an initial chat his checkup was focused and thorough. I was put at ease and the issue is merely a wisdom tooth and the need to floss.The technology they had was speedy and results were delivered for x-rays within seconds (no going back to the waiting room for 5 minutes). I got my 'slap on the wrist' and will now start flossing and seeing the dentist once a year.
A big thank you to the whole team, for an excellent level of a very important medical service. Compliments to the team and will see you, in April. Thank you
.....I have a new dentist (one less worry).
T. R.
I regularly travel 80 miles to return to my favourite hygienist, Sakina, who does an absolutely excellent job on my teeth. I highly recommend this lady and just wish she was closer to home now I have moved! But worth the trip to London every time :)
The practice is clean and bright and all the staff are helpful. But Sakina is a gem.
J. T.
I have always had a fear of dentists and as a result of this, I have avoided going for regular check ups or treatments. It’s now been about 6 years since I first visited the Bank Dental Centre and I am totally relaxed with the dentists and hygienists, that have taken excellent care of me. I also found the reception staff very warm and welcoming and would definitely encourage anybody to use this centre.
K. C.
Great service and perfect job by Dr Klaudia Tombolis. And if you want to talk about chess, you got the right dentist here since her son Christopher is top ranked chess player of the country!
L. B.
Could not be happier. I have been in pain for days, I called in at 8am and by 3pm I had a full dental checkup and my wisdom tooth extracted by a specialist. The specialist dentist was so good that I hardly had any bleeding or pain after the extraction. I felt no pain during the extraction as well. All dentists were competent, never felt rushed and very professional. Surely not cheap, but is money well spent.
A. D.
The last time I went to the dentist was ~2003 but in 2017 because of a terrible toothache I needed to visit a dentist – I went with Bupa on reputation. My previous experiences with the dentist was negative i.e. unnecessary pain, lack of advice, speed rather than detail and lack of investigation of problems.
My experience with Bupa Bank has been positive so far. I’ve had a couple of teeth cleaning appointments with Miriam Brassova and she’s an excellent hygienist – she has a friendly approach and provided tips which I can implement, I was surprised by the lack of pain during my first cleaning as I expected it to be painful because of the number of years of neglect. I have had a few check-ups and a tooth filing Brijesh Patel and he provided a detailed debrief of the state of my teeth with action points, risks with the current path and the tooth filing had minimal discomfort.
D. C.
What an amazing experience I had at Bupa over the last couple of weeks. My tooth chipped off and I urgently needed it to be fixed. I rang up and the receptionist( very friendly & efficent ) managed to get me an emergency appointment just a few hours later with Dr Myint ( Minty ) and I had a fully formed tooth just a few hours later. Dr Myint was a lovely guy and excellent at his job. He was such a perfectionist that he invited me back to do a check up on the tooth a few days later and made it look even better. I highly recommend! Coincidentally I had a hygienist appointment booked in just a few days later with Mohindra, who I usually see and she was wonderful as usual. Freindly, knowledgable and made my clean pain free. I love this BUPA, great staff all round!

MAGICAL DENTIST ....... If you are anxious about visiting the dentist, please read until the end as I hope to put some of your fears to rest and confirm that you are absolutely in the best hands with Dr Shaila Patel-Buxton and the dental nurse Valentina (I really cannot tell you what an amazing dream team these woman are, hopefully by the end of the review you will have an idea!)
To cut a long story short, I'd put off going to the dentist as I suffer from severe health anxiety and I just couldn't face it, until one day I felt a different sensation in my mouth uh oh!
I was initially faced with finding a new dentist (my old one was great, but 600 miles away) and I was suffocated with the thought that a new dentist might recommend a lot of work - its really hard to trust someone you just met, with something you might feel really vulnerable and frightened about, right?
I'd read a few reviews about Shaila that were really promising - especially in her approach to nervous patients and I booked in for a check up. Charlene on reception was also key to getting me to book in, such a welcoming lady who helped allay my fears of just committing an appointment!
From the instant I walked in I was greeted with a really welcoming and reassuring smile from Valentina and Shaila and in that moment, they weren't my dentist and dental nurse, they were my friends and allies - I really felt Shaila could tell I'd been through the 'wars in my head' just to get through the door and she was in no rush to get me into the chair, she just wanted to talk and get to know me and understand my fears. (Tip: something that really worked for me was to write down on a bit paper all the things that I was scared of and I then showed it to Shaila and we discussed each fear on the page!)
The check up was great, I actually left feeling more relaxed than I went in even thought I was told I needed a filling! (Tip: sometimes its the fear of the unknown that makes it worse!) Shaila reassured me throughout the checkup and told me everything she was doing before doing it to ensure I was in agreement - it really felt that the check up was on my terms - which if your anxious, can make all the difference. She listened and she laughed with me and she lightened the mood entirely! Valentina was also on pointe anticipating the next move to speed the experience up.
I had to return for the filling and was completely dreading it, Shaila was conscious of the impact this was having on me and encouraged a quick appointment rather than leaving it for a few weeks - that way it wouldn't be on my mind! Sheila also arranged a longer than normal appointment to ensure we would have time, to take out time! (wow!)
On my return I was encouraged to bring anything no matter how silly and so i rocked up with my big girl pants on with my hot water bottle and noise cancelling earphones!
Shaila numbed me up to get the procedure moving and this was the scariest part for me (a needle phobic!) She used this new technology called the wand which delivers pain free anaesthesia (I'd read some reviews about this new method of numbing, but didn't believe it would actually be pain free) Shaila was so precise I honestly didn't feel a thing not even a pinch (and I don't mean the pain was barely noticeable, it wasn't there at all!). Valentina cleverly distracted me with learning a new language. Charlene on reception even offered to come and support!. The procedure went to plan and a week later, my tooth feels no different to than it did before - obviously great dentistry!
I left Shaila's care feeling myself again, feeling relaxed and that not only had my oral health improved, but my mental health had improved too - how wonderful and clearly over and above Shailas job requirements! Sheila and Valentina work from the heart!
I can honestly say this was the best dental experience of my life (and I've had good experiences in the past - but this was extra special)
So if you are in 2 minds about going to the dentist and which dentist to choose, choose Dr Shaila Patel-Buxton, she's pretty special!

Happy with my visits so far. Mr Dholakia was always so patient and informative in all of my visits. Only thing was my OPG had to be redone twice due to an error but that was rectified. Will come again for Airflow therapy so we'll see how that goes. So far so good!

I am usually sceptical towards dental professionals because of past experience however after attending this practice I feel like I have final found a place I trust.
I had a check up and hygiene clean. Both experiences weren’t rushed and very relaxed; communication was spot on - I knew what I needed/or didn’t need; the equipment up to date and environment was clean.

My name is Téquan and I am 13 years old. I go to Bupa Dental in Bank and I really like my dentist Brijesh. He talks to me and not my Mum. He makes me feel included in with the health my mouth and make me feel responsible like an adult. Thank you for making trips to the dentist fun 😁

I recently had a tooth extracted by Sam Smith and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. I'm an extremely nervous patient and she ensured I was at ease throughout the whole process and it was over before I knew it. Excellent service.

A first-rate experience. BUPA Dental staff went "above and beyond" to assist my mother - who was not a patient - with emergency treatment over a weekend and early the following week. Shaila Patel-Buxton and her team were superb.

Very professional, friendly and helpful staff. I'm very pleased with my treatment, and with the way they continue to provide such good dental care during these difficult times.

Been using this dental practice for many years and I couldn't wish for a more caring team. The dentist, Sam Smith the hygienist Sakina Syed and the reception staff are friendly helpful and welcoming.

I was pleasantly surprised and really grateful for the care and attention I recieved today.The fact that I broke my crown and it was back in within the hour was incredible and the fact that you were 40% cheaper than the nearest dentist was a real surprise.
You have a new customer Nd I am genuinely looking forward to coming back for my next appointment...something I have NEVER said about a dentist before.

This is the best dental centre EVER. I do absolutely everything there. The staff is amazing and ever so friendly. This defiantly is a professional establishment. I would recommend this place to any and everyone.

Great facility and staff, but the new management seems to have brought less desired side effects. For instance, it's now incredibly difficult to book an appointment as call handlers have been replaced with a pre-recorded message.

Shaila Patel's a real perfectionist, also kind, attentive and reassuring, and the Reception team are excellent.
