Appointments That Fit Around Work
Our South Kensington practice opens at 8am every weekday, stays open until 8pm Tuesday to Thursday, and sees patients on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. We are a two-minute walk from the station, so a check-up or hygienist visit fits before work, after work or into a lunch break.
Gum Treatment Without the Travel
Patients travel from across the UK, and from abroad, for Duo-Lase, the laser gum treatment developed by Dr. Ole Behrens. A course averages ten laser sessions, up to three a week. If you live or work in South Kensington, those visits are a short walk rather than a train journey.
Honest Advice, at Your Pace
Patients often tell us what they value most is being told what they actually need. We explain what we find, talk you through every option, including the conservative ones, and give you the cost in writing before treatment starts. If the dentist makes you nervous, tell us, and we will go at your pace.
A Recognised, Multilingual Team
The practice is led by Dr. Ole Behrens, a third-generation dentist with a PhD in Maxillofacial Surgery, and the Private Dentistry Awards named our team Highly Commended for Team of the Year. Between us we speak 12 languages: English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi and Spanish.
Costs, Explained Up Front
Costs depend on the treatment you need, and you receive clear pricing in writing from the outset, not a figure at the end. Our periodontal costs page walks through the stages of gum treatment one by one.
0% APR Finance Available. Finance subject to age, status and affordability.

“I recently joined this dental practice in South Kensington, London, after developing quite a bit of anxiety about going to the dentist. … My dentist, Lior [Burg], was incredibly patient, gentle and reassuring throughout. Instead of rushing into drastic treatment, he talked me through alternatives aimed at saving my teeth and explained everything clearly …”
