Dental and Periodontal Services in Southall
Specialist dental care for Southall patients — Duo‑Lase periodontics, dental implants, aesthetic dentistry and more, all under one roof at 21 Thurloe Place, South Kensington.
Specialist Gum Care for Southall Patients
Southall is not around the corner from us, and we will not pretend otherwise. Patients travel here from UB1 and UB2 for one reason: a level of gum care that is hard to find locally. Behrens Dental Practice is led by Dr. Ole Behrens, who developed the Duo‑Lase™ laser treatment for gum disease — a non‑surgical approach to a condition that usually means surgery. If you have been told you need gum surgery, or you have been managing bleeding gums for years without getting anywhere, that is the conversation worth making the journey for.
We are proud to look after a diverse community — busy professionals, families, and international residents from across London. Our team works in English, Punjabi and Hindi, as well as French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish, so you can discuss a diagnosis and your options in the language you think in rather than the one you translate into. Tell us when you book which language you would prefer and we will arrange the appointment accordingly.
Dental Treatments at Behrens Dental Practice
Everything below is delivered under one roof. That matters more the further you travel — it means one journey and one team, not a series of referrals.
Duo-Lase Periodontal Treatment
Our signature laser-assisted gum disease treatment — developed by Dr. Ole Behrens — delivers results that conventional periodontics cannot match. Effective, comfortable, and long-lasting.

Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement for one missing tooth or a full arch. Our implant team handles the complete process in-house, from surgical placement to the final crown.

Smile makeovers, porcelain veneers, professional whitening, and composite bonding — led by Dr. Chiara Burgio, Advanced Clinical Fellow in Esthetic Dentistry from NYU.

Learn more →General Dentistry
Comprehensive routine and restorative care for the whole family — check-ups, professional hygiene, white fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, and mouthguards.
Learn more →Emergency Appointments
Dental emergencies handled promptly — we reserve time each day for same-day urgent cases. Call us immediately if you are in pain and we will do our best to see you the same day.
Learn more →Same Day Appointments and Dental Emergencies
We keep time free each day for emergencies. If you are in pain, call us first thing on 0207 584 8810 — that matters more coming from Southall than from around the corner, because it lets us hold an appointment while you travel rather than you arriving to a full diary. We will tell you honestly on the phone whether the journey is worth making that day or whether something local would serve you better.

Expert Care
Our team includes dentists with expertise in periodontics, implants, orthodontics, aesthetic dentistry and endodontics, so you get expert care without needing a referral to another practice.
Three Generations of Excellence
Our practice rests on three generations of dentistry, led by Dr. Ole Behrens, who holds a PhD in Maxillo‑Facial Surgery and has practised in London for over 30 years. We invest in the equipment that makes precise work possible — high‑powered microscopes for diagnostics, and the Duo‑Lase™ laser system developed here for treating gum disease without surgery.
Getting Here from Southall
From Southall station, the Elizabeth line reaches Paddington in about 13 minutes, then the Circle or District line brings you to South Kensington. Door to door it is typically 35 to 45 minutes. By car the A4 and M4 take a similar time depending on traffic, though there is no dedicated parking, so most patients come by train. Our opening hours include early mornings from 8am, evenings until 8pm (Tue–Thu), and Saturday appointments — worth knowing if you would rather not lose a working day to the trip.
Costs and Financing
Costs vary with what you actually need, so you get a clear written breakdown before any treatment begins — no figure appearing at the end. 0% APR finance may be available on selected treatments, which can make a bigger course of gum treatment manageable rather than something you keep putting off.
*Finance subject to age, status and affordability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the journey from Southall really worth it?
For a routine check‑up, honestly, probably not — you have good dentists closer. Where it is worth it is gum disease that has not responded to normal treatment, or being told you need gum surgery. The Duo‑Lase™ laser treatment was developed here and is not widely available, and it is the reason most of our patients from further out made the trip.
Do you have Punjabi or Hindi-speaking clinicians?
Yes. Our team works in English, Punjabi and Hindi, as well as French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Tell us when you book which you would prefer and we will arrange the appointment with the right clinician. Understanding a diagnosis properly matters more than most people realise — particularly when you are choosing between treatment options, or deciding whether to go ahead with something.
How do I get to you from Southall?
The Elizabeth line from Southall reaches Paddington in about 13 minutes, then the Circle or District line takes you to South Kensington, a short walk from our door. Allow 35 to 45 minutes door to door. By car the A4 and M4 take roughly the same, but there is no parking at the practice, so most patients take the train.
I have been told I need gum surgery. Is there an alternative?
Often, yes. The Duo‑Lase™ treatment uses lasers to treat periodontal disease without cutting the gum, which means less discomfort and a far shorter recovery than conventional surgery. Whether it suits your case depends on how advanced things are, so the first step is a proper assessment rather than a promise. We will tell you plainly if surgery really is the better option.
