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.

A thread lift is a non-invasive method aimed at mitigating the symptoms of aging in the facial and neck regions by elevating and tightening the skin, giving it a more 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭, 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬.

😊 PDO (Polydioxanone) threads that can be absorbed by the body are securely placed beneath the skin, then tightened and drawn back to lift areas that have begun to droop. This results in a rejuvenated and uplifted appearance of the skin.

Thread lifts can target any area of the face, including the 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴, 𝘫𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘴, 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴, 𝘫𝘢𝘸𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬. It’s an excellent treatment for those between the ages of 30 and 50 who are noticing mild to moderate signs of skin sagging.
