Our Aim

At the Dentist, we aim to provide premium quality private dental care at the best possible price. Our primary focus is customer satisfaction, convenience and reliability.

Our Story

Having worked as dentists for over fifteen years, we felt that there was something missing in terms of the options open to patients when it came to dental services.

Most patients only had the choice of very expensive private dentistry or often confusing mixed NHS/private options. After years of working in both these environments we felt there could be a better way to make premium quality private dental care affordable to all.

The ethos behind The Dentist is to create a professional yet friendly and relaxed practice. One where dentists can offer and patients can receive all the benefits of gold standard private care at prices comparable to mixed NHS practices.

At the heart of The Dentist’s philosophy is a focus on the highest quality treatment and excellent customer service all at affordable prices.

Together with our team of experienced dentists and specialists, we provide a customer journey that offers a reproducible gold standard of dental treatment and customer care every time a patent visits, regardless of who you see and how big or small the treatment you have.

Being so passionate about this new project we couldn’t think of a better place to open than in Balham, where we live. We are huge supporters of our local community and have transformed a location that was empty for over two years into a relaxed, welcoming and modern dental practice. We hope to see you soon.

Reliably offers the best dentist experience I've ever experienced and seem to get better each time. Friendly, hospital front of shop staff and considerate, caring and communicative people all round. Ask for Diona the hygienist and Chris the dentist and you won't be disappointed. Wish I could give 6 stars.

Dr Emily Illingworth is really great at The Dentist and takes the time to fully review your x-rays and discuss your dental health. In my 4 years going to The Dentist, I’d say 90% of the time they’re running 15-20 minutes late, which can be annoying if you’re going during the working day.

One of the best dental practices I've been to (Both their Balham and Putney branches). Chris and Kyla are excellent, very knowledgeable and skilled in what they do and ensure that all my queries have been answered. Appointments never feel rushed and they are very thorough in their approach. Receptionists also fantastic, friendly and efficient. - Amy in reception is also awesome too! Thank you The Dentist team. Please pass on my feedback to the team as its important its recognised the fantastic work they are doing each day for patients in, what is, a demanding industry

Dr Penrose was fantastic. I was very nervous and he made me feel at ease. The price was also very reasonable.

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that enhance skin texture, suppleness, moisture levels, and overall look.

 💧 The procedure entails injecting a soft, gel-like substance called 𝘩𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘥 (𝘏𝘈) under the skin, which enhances the skin’s elasticity, tightness, and glow, thereby improving overall skin quality.

Often referred to as ‘skin quality’ treatments, skin boosters work to augment and promote the overall 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 of the skin.
