I had my wisdom tooth removed and everything was great. Team was highly professional and friendly. Surgeon did a great job removing my tooth as painlessly as possible and checking in during the procedure. I was given an after care package including antibiotics. The best thing is that I woke up the next morning with no swelling at all.

I was referred by my dentist for root canal treatment and was very anxious. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Mr Peru & his assistance were wonderful, very professional and understanding of my anxiety. He explained the process, put me at my ease & was happy to stop at any point during my treatment should I need it. It was completely painless.
The follow up care has been excellent and every effort had been made to resolve any issues or concerns. Mr Peru has continued to liaise with my dentist regarding my treatment. I can highly recommend UKDS. Highly professional, offering excellent care with friendly and helpful staff.

I visited UK Dental Specialists on 3rd May 2022. The facility is clean, modern and airy. The reception staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Dr Claudio Peru was very reassuring, he took time to explain all my treatment options. Mr Peru has a calm & friendly personality. Following the treatment he gave me a detailed overview of what he had done. I would fully recommend UK Dental Specialists.

I got referred by my Dentist as I had an old Root Canal Treatment (15 to 20 Years ago) that had got infected, I was luckily enough to be treated by Dr Claudio Peru. Although going to the dentist is never going to be a pleasant experience, this is about as pleasant as it could be thanks to the excellent staff and facilities, the way they keep in contact is excellent as well, although not cheap (what is nowadays) sometimes you have to pay for quality and the pain I was in and the worry about the pain coming back worth it.
The whole process which included an evaluation and 2 treatment sessions was efficiently managed throughout. I need to go back in several months to make sure the infection has cleared up before I have a new crown put on the tooth. If I ever need anything done on my teeth again I know where I will be heading. Thank you all concerned and I would definitely recommend this practice to others.

Iv just completed my treatment at the UK dental specialists and can honestly say I would 100% recommend them. anyone thinking about having implants should book in a consultation. Iv been thoroughly looked after throughout the whole process. Dr Rajiv Patel has magic hands I'm sure, he managed to remove my cracked tooth effortlessly, put in the implant and finally exposing the implant all over the course of a few months.
He made sure I was comfortable and explained every step to me whilst reassuring me. Dr Pranay Patel measured me for the crown and then fitted it for me making sure I was completely satisfied with the fit and the colour, I can't believe how well it blends in with the rest of my teeth! I'm super grateful to the whole team. The receptionists have always been so friendly and welcoming, the dental nurses have kept me calm and reassured, can't stop smiling now.

I had a tooth extracted on Saturday 12th February. The care I received was faultless. Although it's always going to be a traumatic procedure the whole team were so gentle and reassuring. My gums are healing beautifully. The aftercare is so well explained and I really appreciated the call today to see how I was doing.

I got referred to UK Dental Specialists by my normal dentist to undergo root canal treatment. From the moment I had my first consultation I was treated with the best care, being a very nervous patient who suffers from anxiety, Dr Peru went into a full breakdown of the course of action for my tooth. I later went back for the procedure and was seen by Dr Chavda who did an outstanding job at keeping me calm and informed of every step of the procedure. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!

Dr Peru provided a wonderfully professional service for me. I had root canal work this morning and never felt a thing. I would strongly recommend him - he has a very gentle and informative approach and I'd be more than happy to return should I need further treatment with him. Well done and thank you Dr Peru and Chiswell Green.

I had such a fantastic experience at UKDS recently and would like to thank Dr Kali Ranshi for her care and attention to detail. I had old crowns replaced and am now so happy with my smile! I would also like to thank Dr Ram Challa who made my surgical extraction such an easy experience. Both clinicians were friendly and professional and the care I received was second to none. Thank you!

Following a recommendation from my own dentist, I went to UK Dental Specialists for root canal work. I was extremely nervous but all the staff were friendly and reassuring. I was sedated for the procedure and all went smoothly. Absolutely no pain from the time I left the practice. Thank you, highly recommend.

I highly recommend Dr Luisa Lucchesi for a very professional approach and outstanding results. I have decided to go for braces at the age of 45.I was too scared to do it before although it has always been my dream to have a beautiful smile showing straight teeth and Dr Lucchesi has made my dream come true! It took 16 months only and I had the greatest service ever!

I am a very nervous patient, but Claudio made me feel very relaxed and talked me through every stage of the procedure from beginning to end .. it was worth traveling to this practice to receive such service .. from the moment I entered the practice from reception to leaving today I have received the best possible care .. Thank you everyone.. look forward to seeing you in a year!

Brilliant experience having a root canal treatment today with the lovely Dr Peru. All the staff are lovely and the treatment completely painfree. Apparently I am one of the 15% who have 4 roots instead of 3, lucky me! I am not usually too anxious about dental work but I was today for no real reason and Dr Peru put me completely at ease with his calm and professional manner. the dental nurse was really sweet and helpfull.
I had a gift to take home, a lovely scented candle, as an apology for the noise from the building work going on which was really kind as it didn't spoli my experience. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Peru and his staff to anyone anxioius about having a root canal treatment. No discomfort once numbness wore off either. Thank you.

I was recommended to get root canal treatment with Dr Claudio Peru through my NHS dentist who spoke so highly of him that I got in touch when my pain became unbearable! Now I have to say that I don't just hate going to the dentist I have a kind of phobia, the noise, the smell, even the chair.... The moment I stepped foot into the surgery I thought I might pass out!!
However the staff where so calm, friendly and professional that I felt slightly better after a few minutes and even more so when I met the most lovely Dr Peru. I can't say it was a hugely enjoyable experience but I can say that under his warm and calm manner he made it more than bearable and coming from me that really is something! Dr Peru and his team have also, (finally after 35 years) managed to change my entire outlook on dentistry and I would highly recommend and even go back for root canal again if needed! Thank you so much Dr Peru and I'm so sorry if I scratched your chair to pieces!

Do not go to this dentist and will just take your money and ignore all issues. I went to them and they did a crown on a decayed tooth and got to have it removed and the issue dealt with. Also left all excess cement between teeth making it impossible to floss as advised.
Paid for two hygienist visits in two weeks as well and this was not justified.
Went to alternative dentist and now face J3000 bill for this and other issues they just ignored and failed to point out to me.
Was told in time could lose four teeth. Also never pointed out to me that grind my teeth at night and are much shorter than they should be!

Brilliant. Yes. You pay a lot more for the service, but you are paying for specialists. They are at the top of their game. I have always had a fear of dentists and dentistry. When you walk in to Chiswell Green you are greeted professionally and immediately feel at ease. The whole team are amazing from reception to finalization. A seriously great practice.
