When you arrive

The clinic is on the stretch of Essex Road between Islington Green and Canonbury, with a lounge, two dental surgeries and treatment rooms for skin and wellness care on the same floor. The entrance is at street level. Please let us know when you book if you need step-free access or extra time; we will plan the appointment around it.

What patients from Dalston come to us for

Dalston patients most often come for Invisalign and composite bonding, and for implant consultations. Many first visit us for an emergency appointment and then stay for routine care. Each treatment has its own page: dental examination (£65), hygienist Islington (£85), Invisalign Islington (from £1,500), composite bonding Islington (from £175 per tooth), teeth whitening Islington (from £450), dental implants Islington (from £2,200 including the crown) and our emergency dentist Islington page (dental problem assessment £75).

You do not need a referral, and you do not need to leave your current dentist to come in for a one-off examination, a hygiene visit or a cosmetic opinion. For larger plans, 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo is available, subject to status.

Your first visit

Most people start with a free 20-minute discovery call, then a 30-minute dental examination (£65) with a full risk assessment. Invisalign consultations are free and include an iTero scan. Your options and every cost are set out in a written plan before any treatment begins. Children’s examinations are £45, and under-5s are seen free alongside a parent’s examination.

While you are nearby

Dalston packs a lot into a few streets. The Rio Cinema on Kingsland High Street is an independent picture house behind an Art Deco frontage, Ridley Road Market is a long-running street market for fresh produce and fabrics, and the Eastern Curve Garden is a community garden on an old railway line. The Arcola Theatre and Gillett Square are a short walk away. If you have time either side of an appointment, Essex Road itself has cafés and independent shops within a few doors of the clinic.
