What Our Patients Say

Pearlyn

Had a really lovely experience with Smiles Rooms. The dentists are really friendly and thorough. Had my filling done with them and the dental team was really professional and reassuring throughout the process.

Saad AlAbdeen

Aareez is honestly amazing! It’s the first time I’ve ever been to the dentist and genuinely didn’t feel a thing. He was extremely thorough. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Georgiana

Dr Aareez Khan is the best dentist I have ever been to! And I have been to 5 different dentists up and down the country over the course of my life!

I had to have a few fillings for the first time in my life and I didn’t even notice him injecting me and I usually faint with any needle. I didn’t even have to ask him to not show me he just seemed to work in a magical way and got on with it.

Furthermore, he completed a thorough job making sure my teeth are all happy and ready to start their Invisalign journey with him. I cannot wait for my aligners to arrive and to get started!!

Honestly, if you’re a nervous/neurodivergent patient he is extremely accommodating and friendly and warm. After a negative experience he has restored my faith in dentists and now I will never want to change my dentist ever again!!

The practice itself is very well presented, with calming decor.

Every single receptionist I have dealt with has been very warm and friendly! Shout out to Ibraheem and Elizabeth via email and a phone call!

Angela Combe

I have never had my teeth cleaned and polished so thoroughly. Such a professional job. My teeth and gums are really challenging but nothing was too much trouble. I was really happy with everything....including the receptionist who was very positive and reassuring.

I've been a patient at Smile Rooms Kingston for a few years now, and it's been wonderful to see how the practice has continued to grow and improve over time. The dedication, excellence, and effort that the whole team puts into providing outstanding care really shine through.
The Dentists are always friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, and the same can be said for every member of staff. It's a lovely little practice with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it's clear that everyone is passionate about helping patients and making their experience as comfortable as possible.
I've always felt well looked after, and I'm sure the practice will continue to go from strength to strength. Everyone is professional, approachable, and keen to help. I really can't recommend this little gem highly enough!

Chloe McMahon

I had a great experience from start to finish at Smile Rooms Kingston, Dr Usama was very patient and knowledgeable. He did exactly what i asked for and the results were better then i could’ve imagined. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering composite bonding to go to him.

Jo Ketley

Great experience all round. Initially booked for cosmetic bonding but now going back for all general dentistry. Great customer service, receptionist Elizabeth is excellent! Always quick to respond, proactive with communication, and I’m very happy with treatments from Dr Usama. Would recommend!

Emiliano Figueroa

My experience in Smile Rooms Kingston with Dr. Nigel has been nothing short of wonderful. Everyone is very friendly and I felt very comfortable from the very first day. When it comes to the dental procedures, they were great as well. Dr Nigel takes care in the full sense of the word. The fillings are done with complete focus and attention. The doctor takes care and makes sure you don't feel any pain, and is great for giving advice on dental care and how to proceed. This is the only dentist I've been to where I'm excited to come back in the future.

Wonderful experience where I came out with a beautifully fixed smile.

First of all, Elizabeth is the sweetest receptionist I’ve ever met. Second of all, Dr Nigel is the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. As someone with anxiety, and in particular health anxiety, he really made the whole situation so much more comfortable - consistently being attentive to my needs throughout the treatment and ensuring he checked up on me; I felt so well looked after. He also explains everything in great detail, so that I could be aware of all the dental theory and understand what was being done - it felt like a lesson - which just shows how he truly cares about his patients. In addition, he is so friendly, funny and kind! I recommend this dentist so much. 🙂

Victoria A

I received Invisalign teeth straightening treatment at Smile Rooms Kingston and would highly recommend this dental practice. Dr Nigel provided an excellent dental service, adapting to my needs and producing fantastic results despite my teeth being a bit stubborn! All other staff, in particular Elizabeth, were so welcoming and friendly, and supported me throughout the treatment. I'm very happy with my straight teeth, thank you Smile Rooms 🙂

Akbar M

Brilliant service. Dentist was thorough. Elizabeth is also such a good practice manager. I had loads of questions and she was very patient and genuinely helpful. Would recommend.

David Green

Big Thanks to the lovely Elizaebeth who went above and beyond to help me sort out the financial side if you ever need a dentist this place is much more than that

Veselin Konstantinov

Big props to Dr Nigel and Elizabeth in particular, along with all the staff. Always friendly and fantastic work by all.

Gerard Siebels

I had a couple of treatments done recently with Dr. Patel, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. Dr. Patel took the time to explain each step of the process, made sure I was comfortable, and carried out the treatments with great skill and care. The entire team was welcoming and friendly, which really helped put me at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients’ well-being!

Lauren Shotton

Incredibly friendly, thank you Elizabeth for getting me in for a very short notice treatment. service is brilliant and my teeth feel amazing whenever I head there. thank you to all

Pietta L

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Nigel and Liz! From the very first appointment, they made me feel genuinely welcome, cared for, and at ease. Dr. Nigel is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also has a calm, reassuring approach that immediately builds trust. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is explained and tailored to your needs.

Liz at reception is an absolute ray of sunshine! Her warmth, kindness, and positive energy are contagious — she even tries to keep travel-size toothpaste stocked just for me, which always makes me smile! 😃 She makes every visit feel like catching up with a good friend.

It’s rare to find such a lovely and supportive environment in a clinic, and I always look forward to my visits thanks to them both.

Thank you for all that you do — you’re a brilliant team! I love my smile and teeth ❤

Jiwoo Kim

Couldn't ask for a better team!! Dr Nigel is absolutely amazing, he really made sure that my teeth were PERFECT before I ended my Invisalign. Thank you for being so patient with me 😭 my Invisalign experience would not have been the same without you. And to the best receptionist ever Elizabeth, always so welcoming and easing me in before the appointment 🙂 you've made Smile rooms so good I have moved dentist to Smile rooms as I am sure they will always keep my teeth perfect! ❤️ highly recommend.

Jane Bunch

Thank you so much to Dr Usama Sardar & all the team for fitting my son in for an emergency appointment when he accidentally broke one of his front teeth on a Saturday afternoon (21 June 2025). You were all fantastic with him and we were delighted you were able to fix his tooth so quickly and calmly.

kaye stuart

What you didn't know is that my child is actually ADHD and autistic. She usually struggles with any situation like this, but you guys were so kind and caring to her, I couldn't believe how relaxed she was.

The confidence you have given her is amazing. I knew she would be happier, but watching her playing and laughing with her mouth wide open really pulls my heart strings.

Honestly, the whole team could not have made the experience any better and I thank you all so much.

danielle francis

I’ve loved my experience with Smile Rooms Kingston. I had a lot of work to get done and it was daunting but they have helped me with every step. I can’t thank Dr Nigel enough for his patience with me and my fear of needles. He and his team are so kind and they always had time to answer my questions and made sure I could make informed decisions. I truly appreciate the calm and understanding environment you have created.

milla power

I had such brilliant treatment at this warm and friendly practice. Nigel and his team have been wonderful. I will miss my visits and especially my catch ups with gorgeous Elizabeth! Dentistry at its best !

Rebekah Moll

This was an emergency appointment for the worst pain I've ever had. Got seen within a few hours. Tooth extraction booked for 2 days later. This was a smooth as such a procedure can be.

Alina Toma

The first clinic that I went to in the UK - firstly I got a different dentist when I started my Invisalign treatment and wasn’t the greatest, however thanks to Dr Nigel, which helped me significantly, I achieved the best result that I didn’t even dreamt of. Very emphatic and most important very professional. Thank you, doc! You doing a great job!

Akz Cho

I have been a patient at Smile Room Kingston since 2022, undergoing Invisalign treatment followed by composite bonding. The team has been absolutely exceptional, consistently prioritising excellent service and ensuring I felt reassured throughout the process. They have gone above and beyond to help me achieve the smile I’ve always wanted, and I couldn’t be happier with their care and expertise. I truly can’t imagine going anywhere else.
I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Nigel, who has been amazing in working on my teeth and supporting me throughout this journey, and to Elizabeth, who provided invaluable advice and guidance. Her approachable and understanding nature made it easy for me to express my thoughts and concerns. Their dedication and professionalism have truly made this experience outstanding.

What are the symptoms of tooth decay?

Tooth decay may not show any visible symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. The symptoms of tooth decay include:

Tooth sensitivity

Bad breath

Brown, black or grey spots appearing on your teeth.

An unpleasant taste in the mouth

What is tooth decay?

It is estimated that around 1 in 3 adults in the UK have tooth decay.

Tooth decay is when acids in your mouth dissolve the outer layers of your teeth.

The acids are formed by the bacteria in your mouth combining with small particles of food (particularly carbohydrates found in sugary food and drinks) and saliva to form a sticky film (plaque).

If the plaque is allowed to build up, the acid begins to break down the outer surface of the tooth.

Eventually this can enter and cause damage to the soft matter at the centre of the tooth.

How is tooth decay treated?

FIRST STEP

In the early stages of tooth decay our dentist may apply a protective fluoride varnish to help stop further decay.

Second Step

For later stages of tooth decay, depending on how advanced the issue is you may require a filling.

If the decay has travelled into the soft matter of your tooth, you may need root canal treatment.

Last step

In severe cases where the tooth cannot be restored it may need to be removed.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to treat infection at the centre of the tooth, treating this is also known as endodontics.

The aim of the treatment is to avoid extracting the tooth, and in most cases is successful in preventing this.

The infection in the tooth is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and then enter the tooth.

The infection can be caused by damage to the tooth or trauma, such as after a fall or by advanced tooth decay.

What is the procedure for root canal treatment?

FIRST STEP

After numbing the area, the tooth needs to be cleaned by the endodontist and the infected soft tissue inside the tooth is gently removed.

Second Step

The tooth is then packed with a biocompatible material.

Last step

Following the root canal treatment, a filling or crown is placed on the tooth to restore the functionality and protect the tooth.

When is a tooth extracted?

A tooth extraction is a fairly common procedure in dentistry. A tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are:

The tooth is unrestorable through tooth decay, trauma or periodontal disease.
Wisdom teeth may need extracting if they are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and therefore may cause recurrent infections in the mouth.
In orthodontics to help create space for the other teeth to be moved into straighter positions.

Tooth extractions can be done in a single appointment, with a follow up appointment for more complex cases. Our dentist will be able to advise you on the best options for your situation.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth damaged by decay to a more normal function and shape.

The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area and then filling out the cavity with a dental filling material such as porcelain or a tooth coloured resin (composite).

Amalgam (silver coloured) fillings can be offered; however, by nature they are visible and many people choose to replace these for a more natural looking filling.

The advantage of a dental filling is that it helps prevent further decay, and consequently more complex treatments.
