Questions From Kensington (W8) Patients
How do I choose the right dentist in Kensington (W8) for my family?
Look for a practice that treats every age under one roof, explains things plainly and feels welcoming rather than clinical. We see children and adults for everything from check-ups and clear aligners to implants and gum care, so the whole family can be looked after in one place, without referrals elsewhere.
What makes a periodontist different from a regular dentist?
Your regular dentist checks your teeth and mouth as a whole. A periodontist concentrates on the gums and the bone that support your teeth, treating gum disease, receding gums and deep gum pockets. At our practice, gum treatment is led by Dr. Ole Behrens, Dr. Lior Burg and Dr. Georgios Kolaitis.
I live near Holland Park. How long does it take to reach you?
From Holland Park it usually takes 10 to 15 minutes by car, bus or tube. High Street Kensington is two stops from South Kensington on the Circle and District lines, via Gloucester Road, and our practice at 21 Thurloe Place is a two-minute walk from South Kensington station.
Do you offer finance for treatments like dental implants?
Yes. You get a clear, written cost estimate before anything begins, so you know where you stand. 0% APR Finance Available. Finance subject to age, status and affordability. We will go through the options with you at your consultation, and our finance page explains how it works.
