The Kensington Clinic

The doctor saw me few times after my veneers and he was happy to do alterations for me to make me feel satisfied. The hygiene appointment was great ! Tamara was very friendly with regards to appointments and answering any of my questions and rest of admin team were there to support me.

Super unhappy with the filling that I got over a year ago...I found The Kensington Clinic when looking for a periodontist and found a great one that practices, in amongst other places, at The Kensington Clinic. I decided that I may as well move all of my dentistry needs there since it had wonderful reviews! It's not near me at all, but given the reviews I thought it was worth the journey.Well, the initial consultation was great and the dentist did explain things well and looked at things thoroughly, but I mentioned I had a filling that seemed to have developed a small gap in the junction between filling and tooth. This didn't show on the x-rays and so was missed, but I could see it so I raised it.As it was a tiny gap and not tooth decay, it wasn't necessary to do anything about it, but I was concerned about food getting there and me not being able to clean it well and potentially developing a tooth decay there, so we decided we'd remove the current tooth filling and replace it, hopefully removing any gap between tooth and filling.The procedure for the filling was done by the hygienist (not the dentist) and she was amazing with her anaesthesia injections - I did not feel a thing! HOWEVER, she could not put in a metal ring or something like that around the tooth that needed the filling. She just couldn't. And this was clearly something that needs to be fitted in BEFORE applying the composite. In the end she did the filling the best she could but it was not a good job at all. She struggled throughout as the metal ring (not sure what that is called) was not in place and as a result she sort of free-handed the filling and it took her an awful lot of time, but what is worse is that she sealed the two adjacent teeth together! When she had finished the filling, she tried dental floss and could NOT pass it through and asked me if I had been able to use dental floss in that tooth before - and YES! Absolutely and without a problem!That evening and subsequent evenings I tried and tried to put floss in between the two teeth and eventually managed, so decided not to raise a complaint as I find it really uncomfortable to do so and the hygienist had tried her best. I was also worried that I would be charged for further remedial work and this place is incredibly expensive (just the filling costed a whopping £250!)This was by far the most expensive filling I've ever had (and I've had way bigger fillings) and yet the worse by ever farther.I have managed with this filling for over a year, struggling to get toothfloss in, but managing, but recently I've switched to silk toothfloss, the strongest I've found, and it is no longer possible for me to floss in between those two teeth with an eco friendly floss - nothing other than plastic floss can cope, it just tears anything that isn't plastic floss. Hence why I am now putting a review, because I can't make the switch to an eco-friendly floss alternative because the filling was so badly done that there is hardly a gap between the too adjacent teeth.I regret not having gone back straight away to complaint, but as I mentioned I was concerned about additional costs. Even on the day, at the point of payment, I made a small comment but should have said clearly that something was not right during the procedure.In retrospect, the hygienist should have requested help to insert the metal ring before proceeding with a bad job. I now have to life with this filling or pay someone else to remove it yet again and redo the job that I paid dearly to have done at the Kensington Clinic.Anyway, just leaving this review for anyone considering 'normal' dentist work there because the fillings will be done by the hygienist, not the dentist, and yet cost way more than most dentist (at least in my experience). I now wonder whether the good reviews were for extensive dental work, because unfortunately I did not experience this good work for their basic dental care (a 30min hygienist visit @£65 and the filling @£250).

A fantastic clinic, whilst they're only a stones throw from where I live - I would travel across London if I needed to. Great service from start to finish and ongoing support. I had stained teeth from red wine, coffee etc. and wanted a less evasive procedure. Dr Sheraz Aleem provided me with multiple options at different price-points with great results. Tamara and all of the team are a pleasure to communicate with. Well recommended.

This practice is extremely efficient and helpful. It only took me a week from the first appointment to getting my fixed braces put on.More recently, I went for my every-three-months cleaning appointment, with the hygienist Sonia Nestorowicz. She is super attentive and took great care to answer some questions I had regarding cleaning while going through orthodontic treatment. Literally the gentlest cleaning I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Lidiya is excellent and very kind, I felt completely comfortable in my first visit. And many thanks to Tamara for making it so easy to schedule!

Excellent care. Did not feel rushed at my Consultation. Very accommodating .. explained details of my fixed braces in great detail. Both dentists’ assistants were very helpful. Follow up care set good. Very pleased overall.

After visting 3 other dentists and receiving conflicting advice, I found The Kensington Clinic. I contacted them because of the fantastic reviews. As a very nervous anxious patient, trust and confidence was so important on deciding who I should have my treatment with - TKC didn't disappointment, nothing was too much trouble, everyone was so calm and professional. I now love my smile and no longer self-conscious. My partner's response was simply perfect and fantastic work". I would 100% recommend TKC without hestation (in fact I already have). Many thanks to all of the team.x"

I am grateful that I found The Kensington Clinic as I was at a very low point in my life in regard to the ongoing issues I had with my crowns/bridge which were no longer fit for purpose. I needed extensive work to be done and Dr Sheraz Aleem provided me with clear options and easy payment plan. From the first Dr Sheraz Aleem and all his amazing staff team were so welcoming and put me at my ease. I now smile widely with confidence and have full faith that I am in safe hands! The care and attention I continue to receive from every staff member at the Clinic is first class. I highly recommend this dental clinic for anyone who wants first class service!

Kensington Clinic is an excellent dentist I've been going to for many years, and have had much work done. They are professional, the clinic is clean and well presented and the work is always very good, would highly reccommend!

I came to The Kensington Clinic and I saw Dr Sheraz. He provided an excellent service to me, and he was very patient, caring & attentive to my needs. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the treatment process, and I can only recommend him highly.
