First-class. I had a dental implant fitted four years ago (Ope Sodeinde having been recommended by my dentist) and have been attending LDS regularly ever since for check-ups and hygiene sessions. The quality of the care has been terrific: highly professional and expert, with a warmth and sensitivity that inspires trust and confidence. I cannot recommend them more highly.

I was referred the LDS for a "re-root canal" treatment as a previous root canal had become infected. I am normally anxious about dental work but Dr Patel made me feel very comfortable; she kept me updated throughout and reassured me. The procedure took quite some time but I felt that Dr Patel was thorough and I left feeling confident that she had solved the issue. All other staff were very friendly and kind.

I have had outstanding dental care and surgical treatment from Dr Ope Sodeinde at the London Dental Specialists. The evaluation of the problem was very clear and thorough, as were the choices presented to me prior to surgery. The procedure was faultless, and my recovery swift.

London Dental Specialists helped me with my gum problems and I now consider the issue resolved - previously I had tried all sorts of things on my own but I needed Ope and team's professional help and expertise. Also they are really nice people. Strongly recommend.

Why was I so worried? Dr Sodeinde put me totally at ease from start to finish. My initial consultation was very comprehensive, Ope provide me with clear information on all my options, we even had a 2nd meeting to go over anything I wanted to cover at no extra cost - he was extremely professional. Great customer care. Great job!”

I remain a fan so don’t mind driving all the way up from Surrey each time to see you/your team.I take comfort in all your degrees / expertise. I recall a shameful dentist trying to get me to have a gum graft at c£7k. A second opinion with yours truly showed I had plenty of gum & deep roots despite recession c/o brushing too hard – super to have such an honest practioner protect those with such a concern.

By far, Dr. Ope gave me the best treatment I could have ever received for my recessive front gum and guided me throughout the whole process. I was very nervous of undergoing surgery, but Dr. Ope not only was able to give me all the reassurance I needed, the whole experience itself was even pleasant.Upmost professionalism along with a very human approach.The rest of the staff was extremely friendly and always made me feel welcomed and safe.Thank you very much.

I have been a client of London Dental specialist for about 5 years, I have never been disappointed on the treatment results , the Hygienists first Jane and now Stephanie have helped me to get my gum disease under control, I have tried other hygienist twice due to been unable to attend for an appointment on a week day, and I have very much regretted going somewhere else, I not only paid a higher price but have to have the job properly done later by London dental specialist. At LDE they have highly qualified doctors and do care about their customers, and the staff is always friendly and polite. keep the great customer service!

I was referred to London Dental specialists for a root canal treatment. I was really nervous before hand, but the staff and dentists made me feel at ease. They were so lovely! And the actual treatment was fine, the dentist would talk me through the procedure and let me know what was going on. I would highly recommend them! If I ever need another root canal treatment I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to them! Thanks so much everyone there!

I was referred to Ope and his team by my trusted dentist and although I was very anxious at the idea of having to have implants, I felt much more reassured after my initial consultation with Ope. Ope was a consumate professional, answering all my questions and concerns, he provided a fully comprehensive and considered treatment plan with several options to consider. All of which were explained in great detail, both in writing and during our follow up conference call shortly afterwards.I am now halfway through my implant treatment, having undergone an extraction and a bone graft, and I cannot recommend the practice more. I know I am in very good hands and I look forward to a positive, stress-free result with absolute confidence.

I saw Dr Ope for an initial exam and Dr Neha for a root canal which needed to be re-done. I found both to be very good at taking the time to answer questions and explain my options. The root canal was a complex one which another dentist had struggled with and left incomplete, but Dr Neha seems to have done a good job of sorting it out. The experience was comfortable and very professional.

I had root canal treatment and a dental implant at the end of 2019. I was feeling overwhelmed by the work that needed to be done and worried about what to do. The entire team were caring and extremely understanding of my anxiety. I really trust that my health and wellbeing are always at the centre of any treatment decisions. The procedures were carried out in a way that minimised my discomfort and the aftercare has been excellent. My subsequent hygiene appointments have been thorough - but also carried out in a way that made me much less nervous. Every member of staff is kind, patient and highly knowledgable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team and will continue to return for aftercare and any future procedures.

A friendly and professionally run practice. I visited over several months to have 2 implants at the back of my lower gum. The treatment involved bone and gum grafts but the end result was worth the time and money spent. For the first time in many years I am able to eat on both sides of my mouth . I'd previously had implants on the other side at a different practice, but the ones done at London Dental Specialists are a better fit and much more secure.

I was referred to Dr Ope by my dentist for placing a dental implant following the extraction of a cracked tooth. I am an anxious patient with a low tolerance for pain and a busy work/personal life. It was important for me to have a consultation with Dr Ope and understand the procedure, recovery timeline, provided support, and all the stages until full dental recovery (having a fully functioning replacement of a tooth). I was impressed by Dr Ope's professionalism and personal approach. He provided all the relevant information promptly, described all the costs, made himself available for questions and additional appointments during recovery. I had a dental implant and gum graft, which is not the most pleasant experience. So, it helped a lot to have a caring, positive and experienced surgeon. Dr Ope's practice provides a warranty for dental implants if you attend the hygienist appointments and maintain gum health. I have found that helpful.

I had a long period of the problem with my teeth. I had suffered caused nerve pain daily. I went to several dental practices and they told me that there was nothing they can do to help my teeth getting better. I have done some reach for a dental specialist and I glad I came to cross meet Ope and His entire team Jane, Anna, Katerina, Sophie, and lots more... Ope and I had long discussed with my teeth based on the condition of my affected teeth, why I should have a dental implant the treatment. His patient and care for details were phenomenal, It took about a year time to finish the treatment, the overall he and his entire team manner is exceptional; I have never encountered such a brilliant dentist that goes above and beyond at his job if I had known Dr. Ope before and I may save my natural teeth. I was completely happy with the result which I can be eating normally again. I also undertake hygiene treatment with Ope right now. If you are looking for a dentist who is excellent at his job and does the best he can to make you smile again, you need to look for Dr. Ope The London Dental Specialists.

I had an excellent experience with the team at the London Dental Specialist. Appointments were made to fit around my own working time. In my first appointment, I discussed with Dr. Ope, based on the condition of my affected tooth, why I should have dental implant as opposed to the root canal treatment (I really wanted to keep my natural tooth) I wanted. He took the time to see my reasons and I did his as he gave me good detailed facts only a good dental professional could. I respect that! The procedure was not traumatic and strict COVID-19 guidelines were followed during the procedures. The end result was fantastic - it does not even feel like my natural tooth was replaced with a dental implant. Thank you for the journey to getting me able to chew normally again.

I had a bad infection on my font teeth. Other dentists suggested me to do the dental extraction and implant. Dr Neha and Ope provide an alternative solution and saved my teeth. Rather than the extraction, they carefully operated a root canal. There is no pain except anesthesian injection at the very beginning of the operation and no pain afterwards.

After having previous dental work that needed correcting, with extensive work needed, I visited a few dental practices for different opinions. I decided to use London Dental Specialists. From the start, the whole team were extremely understanding, non-judgmental, patient and extremely knowledgable. All options were explained clearly and then I was given the opportunity to go away and think about it and had a courtesy follow up appointment to ask any questions or voice any concerns. I can honestly say, from the start I was made to feel like a patient and not an appointment.Treatment commenced in January, and after numerous appointments I will be coming to the end of treatment in a couple of months. I really don’t like the dentist but they have made me feel relaxed, reassured, and I now know that the team are absolute perfectionists and are passionate about what they do. Always going the extra mile. I’m confident any advice they give me really is in my best interest.I travel 1 and 1/2 hours for my appointment, with parking outside, and will continue to do so as I will never use another dentist. Very highly recommend.

This was my first specialist root canal treatment with Dr Neha Patel and I felt very reassured in her ability. She was incredibly meticulous with her work - retesting measurements and making sure everything was absolutely spot on, despite complications along the way (long and curved roots). She worked late into the night and although I had to hold my mouth open for 3 hours I was very impressed by her (and the Team’s) professionalism and it’s a credit to her desire to achieve the best result for her patients. Big thank you from Jordan.

Dr Ope and his team were charming and efficient with the right level of patience and the necessary sense of humour. I will be delighted to use them for the maintenance of my Dental treatment and heartily recommend the practice.

May 2021 - London Dental Specialists have looked after my teeth for the last six years and I have always been really pleased with the professional care received from the practice's friendly team.Recently, I fractured one of my molar teeth which had an existing deep filling. This required root canal treatment (completed by Dr Neha Patel) and then the fitting of a crown, after complex work to reshape the tooth (completed by Dr Ope Sodeinde). The treatment process was excellent from start to finish, and Ope and Neha took great care to ensure I felt at ease throughout this. I am very happy with the end result and again have no hesitation in recommending London Dental Specialists.September 2020 - This was my first hygienist appointment at London Dental Specialists in the new world of enhanced PPE and Covid safety measures (I have been a patient of the practice for several years).Stephanie was excellent. As well as carefully cleaning and polishing my teeth, she gave me a number of very useful practical tips on my dental hygiene and brushing technique.I received a warm welcome from Ope and his team as always and felt very safe throughout my appointment.

LDS has treated me for the past 25years. With severely reduced upper gums (due to over zealous flossing) LDS fitted two upper molar dental implants. My upper incisors are glued together to provide a firm bite. For years I have enjoyed eating as though I had a full set of teeth and complete gums. Great.

I was referred to Ope in October 2020 while in a very difficult situation regarding dental implants. I had suffered serve nerve pain and was undergoing investigations to find out the root problem. His patient, attention to care and overall manner is exceptional; I have never encountered such a brilliant dentist that goes above and beyond his job. He swiftly made sure I had a CBCT scan completed and a radiographer report, and then referred me to a pain specialist very promptly. This all took place over the space of a week; I was completely amazed at how quickly Ope managed to deal with my problem. I was beyond satisfied with the treatment I received and the follow-up care. I will be undertaking further treatment with Ope in the future. If you are looking for a dentist who makes you comfortable, is excellent at his job and has a kind manner, I highly recommend The London Dental Specialists.

I came to the London Dental Specialists and was looked after by Dr Sodeinde. I had a pain in the jaw that the ear specialist suggested it was teeth related. Dr Sodeinde gave me some exercises to do after examining the jaw line and teeth. After three weeks the pain has gone. His service was first class and very kind. I highly recommend him. Liz Gee

Gum recession and sensitivity of the tooth/gum are extremely common dental problems. These problems tend to occur together and broadly speaking, you can either treat the sensitivity with either a toothpaste/a dental filling material OR you can treat the gum recession and the sensitivity at the same time by doing gum graft (mucogingival) surgery....
