A 4.7-star average from more than 300 patient reviews on Google, spanning the practice's fifteen-year history.
The honest answer is that "best" depends on what you are looking for. Verify GDC registration, read Google review volume and consistency, confirm CQC registration, ask whether you'll see the same clinician visit-to-visit, and prefer practices that will say no to over-treatment.
A structured programme of exercises that retrain the tongue, lips and swallowing pattern to restore nasal breathing and proper tongue rest.
It varies by route, from weeks to months for myofunctional retraining, to many months for orthodontic expansion.
The habit and low tongue posture can usually be retrained at any age. Structural consequences from childhood can often be improved but not always fully reversed.
It can be associated with it, but mouth breathing alone does not diagnose sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea is a medical diagnosis that requires a sleep study arranged through your GP.
Start by identifying why it happens. Nasal breathing during the day, managed allergies and myofunctional retraining help many people. If you snore loudly or your partner notices pauses in your breathing, see your GP first.
Yes, within scope. Where the cause is nasal or where sleep apnoea is suspected, the dentist refers to ENT or your GP. Dental treatment complements medical care; it does not replace it.
When delivered by trained practitioners with appropriate equipment, very safe. Mild side effects (temporary redness) are common; serious side effects (burns, pigmentation change) are rare with modern technology and appropriate wavelength selection.
Yes. Period and menstrual cycle do not affect treatment safety.
No. Pregnancy is a contraindication. Treatment can resume after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
UK regulators require "permanent reduction" rather than "permanent removal" — realistic outcome is 80-90% long-term reduction with maintenance every 6-12 months.
Mild-to-moderate discomfort — a quick rubber-band snap or warm pinprick. Modern systems with integrated cooling are significantly more tolerable than older lasers. Numbing cream is available.
It depends on your skin type, which we assess at a free patch test. We use the Lynton laser or Lynton IPL, chosen to suit your skin, and darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) need particular care with settings. Results vary.
Typically 6-8 sessions for 80-90% long-term reduction. Facial areas may need 8-10. Maintenance every 6-12 months keeps results indefinitely.
At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, polynucleotide treatment is from £250 per session.
Minimal: small bumps for a day or two and occasional bruising.
Because it is prescribed after a face-to-face assessment.
Usually three, a few weeks apart, then maintenance once or twice a year.
No. It improves skin quality over a course and adds no volume.
Purified polynucleotides, DNA fragments sourced from fish, processed and sterilised for medical use.
Yes — hybrid online/in-person formats available once foundational patterns are established. Online sessions £65 per 60-minute session. Some patients prefer mixed formats (in-clinic weekly + online check-ins) to fit busy schedules. We adapt to what works practically for you.
Initial assessment session 75 min £95. Standard 60 min sessions £75. Block of 10 sessions £700 (small saving). Block of 20 sessions £1,350. Hybrid online/in-person formats available. Combined wellness plans quoted as packages.
Typically twice-weekly for the initial 8-12 weeks to establish patterns, then weekly or twice-weekly thereafter based on goals and schedule. Some patients prefer hybrid online/in-person formats once foundational patterns are established. We agree the frequency based on what fits your case and life.
Yes — postural patterns from desk-bound work (neck strain, upper-back rounding, hip flexor tightness, weak gluteal function) respond well to structured corrective protocols. Combined with mobility work and gradual strengthening this typically produces meaningful improvement over 8-12 week protocols. We integrate with our somatic lane where appropriate.
