Our door is always open to new and existing patients

Dental Practice Islington

At Islington Green Dental Practice, a leading Islington dental practice, we have established ourselves as a highly successful referral centre for many of our colleagues across London. Our exceptional team welcomes referrals for endodontics (root canal), periodontics (gum disease), oral surgery, and orthodontics (teeth straightening).

Our door is always open to new patients, who are given a 30-minute appointment for their first full dental examination. This allows us plenty of time to get to know each other and take a close look at your mouth, teeth, and gums. We also carry out a mouth cancer screening for your peace of mind—something we provide at all your dental health examinations going forward.

Like all dentists, we ask for information regarding your general health to help us treat you safely. This is why we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire, which can be filled in online beforehand to save time. Alternatively, please allow a little extra time to complete it when you arrive and remember to bring a list of your medication with you.

As a trusted Islington dental practice, we offer regular follow-up appointments with the dentist and hygienist, if required. A full estimate of your treatment cost is always provided to ensure you are fully informed at every step. In some cases, the examining dentist may decide to refer you in-house to a more appropriate associate, depending on your treatment needs. You can find details about our prices and dental plans here. Emergency treatment will be provided on the day if you are in pain.

We always welcome feedback of any nature and understand the value it brings. We also appreciate that for some, the thought of visiting the dentist can be daunting. Let us know how we can make your next visit to our Islington dental practice even more pleasant than the last.
