Expert Dental Care in London

Welcome to Behrens Dental Practice. Finding the right dental team in London can feel overwhelming, so our aim is simple: a refreshingly different experience. Whether you want a highly skilled dentist for your family’s routine check‑ups or the more nuanced care of a clinician with a special interest in gum health, our South Kensington practice combines generations of expertise with a genuinely patient‑focused approach. Good dental care starts with listening, so you can expect clear explanations and treatment shaped around you.

We are proud to serve a diverse community from every walk of life — busy professionals, families wanting consistent care, and international residents looking for a welcoming dental home. So that everyone feels understood and comfortable, our multilingual team works in English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi and Spanish. At heart we believe in care that respects your own needs and concerns rather than a standard plan.

Urgent care

Same Day Appointments and Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies arrive without warning, so we reserve appointments each day for urgent cases. If you are in pain, have had an accident, or need attention now, call us. Being on three Underground lines means most of London can reach us quickly, which matters more on the day something goes wrong than it does the rest of the year.

Why Behrens

Why Patients Choose Behrens Dental Practice

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

Choosing a dental practice is a significant decision about your long‑term health. Ours rests on three generations of dental excellence, led by Dr. Ole Behrens, who holds a PhD in Maxillo‑Facial Surgery. That is backed by real investment in technology — high‑powered microscopes for precise diagnostics, and the Duo‑Lase™ laser treatment for gum disease, developed here. Above all we take the time to listen and explain.

Easy to Reach from Across London

We are a few minutes’ walk from South Kensington station, which serves the Piccadilly, District and Circle lines — so much of London is a direct journey. From Green Park it is about 15 minutes; from Piccadilly Circus, around 10. Patients come to us from Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Mayfair, and commute in from further out. There is on‑street parking nearby if you drive. Our hours include early mornings from 8am, evenings until 8pm (Tue–Thu), and Saturday appointments.

Transparent pricing

Costs and Financing

We are committed to transparent pricing, because good dental care should be within reach. What you pay depends on what you need, and you will always get a clear, detailed written plan before any procedure begins. 0% APR finance may be available on selected treatments to help you manage the cost.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a general dentist and a periodontist?

A general dentist is your main provider for overall oral health — check‑ups, fillings, crowns. Many dentists treat early gum problems, but clinicians with a special interest in periodontics have taken extensive further training to manage complex gum disease, place implants, and work on the gum and bone supporting your teeth. We have both here, so you see whoever is right for your case.

How do I reach your practice from central London?

We are a few minutes’ walk from South Kensington Underground station, on the Piccadilly, District and Circle lines. From Piccadilly Circus the journey is about 10 minutes; from Green Park, roughly 15. Three lines into one station is what makes it workable on a busy day.

Do you offer laser treatment for gum disease?

Yes. We offer the Duo‑Lase™ periodontal treatment, a non‑surgical laser therapy developed by Dr. Ole Behrens himself. It is less invasive and usually more comfortable than traditional gum surgery, and it treats periodontitis effectively rather than simply managing it.

I am nervous about dental visits. How do you help anxious patients?

You are far from alone, and we take it seriously rather than talking you out of it. The whole team is used to nervous patients: we listen to what specifically worries you, explain each step before it happens, and stop when you ask. Tell us when you book and we will plan the appointment around it.
