I've been seeing Dr Viraj Menon for a few years and most recently for a crown preparation. He's a very good dentist and took excellent care of me. He's the first dentist to identify that I probably have an unusual condition that affects how the anesthetic takes effect. Procedure went very well with no pain afterwards. I could not be more pleased.

Saw Louise today as I thought I had broken a tooth. She was very thorough with x-rays etc and was able to treat the problem without me having to come back. She is always friendly and very gentle. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else

Changed dentist and decided to give Kent Smile studio a try purely off the back of the reviews. Haven’t been disappointed at all. Had a thorough examination. With X-rays and photos. Treatment plan is in place. Able to get appointments without waiting weeks or months. Costs are reasonable and staff are friendly and informative.All in all I’m very happy

I met with Paras Vadera earlier today for a new patient examination. This was very thorough. He and his team were very pleasant and helpful and considerate of my condition. I came away very confident of my proposed treatment so I shall be booking my next appointment to proceed with the plan. All correspondence has been prompt, transparent and easy to understand.

Everyone at Kent Smile are exceptional in their dealings with patients and in their professionalism. The surgery itself is clean, comfortable and well equipped. I think, in the last couple of years, I’ve been treated by almost everyone there and have never had a bad experience. Whenever I’ve had a problem, they have always gone the extra mile to help me. It’s also an added bonus that they have all the necessary experts under one roof, meaning you are never referred somewhere else for anything more complex. All the staff, from reception to the top, are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.I would recommend this dental surgery to anyone, especially if you’ve had difficult experiences elsewhere.

I had an excellent experience with Kent Smile Studio. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. The clinic was clean, comfortable, and well-organised.Dr. Louise Yates took the time to explain every step of the procedure, which made me feel at ease. They were gentle, attentive, and very thorough with the treatment. I really appreciated how they checked in often to ensure I was comfortable throughout the visit.The appointment was efficient without feeling rushed, and I left feeling confident in the care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Louise Yates and the team at Kent Smile Studio for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dentist!

I’m truly impressed with Dr. Paras!I came in just to make sure everything was alright with my teeth, as I had some jaw pain and wanted to be certain it wasn’t tooth-related. After a thorough examination, the doctor explained everything clearly and recommended treatment.While I usually see my dentist in my home country and may have some work done there, I absolutely plan to return to Dr. Paras for future care.I highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent dental treatment! 🙂

Isabel Gomes

As a former employee at KSS I knew that my daughter would be in great hands! Being on the other side (as a patient/ customer) yesterday, was a reminder of the high standard of care that is continuously promoted across the whole team! :-) From arrival, to the appointment, to checking out, all staff presented a friendly smile, and with a professionalism that is second to none. The practice looked lovely, having a new colour throughout 😍 with nice new blinds. It was lovely to see some old and new faces.The certificate of bravery was a lovely touch!Thank you KSS.

I had a check up at the Maidstone branch of Kent smile yesterday. My dentist was Dr Paras Vadera. My husband uses him too.I told him I don’t like the dentist.Paras was very understanding, and talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes, going through all my medical side and asking me if I had any problematic areas that I thought needed to be looked at. My dental examination was the best I’ve ever had.Paras was very thorough and checked everything. My tongue, my gum health, my teeth. Taking photos and X-rays too.Paras made me feel very relaxed, he is such a charming young man and I would recommend him to anyone.Also everyone at the clinic is very welcoming.I will be back !!!

I have been a patient at Kent Smile Studio for several years now and have always received exceptional care. Louise Yates is a highly competent professional who prioritizes patient care. She is considerate and compassionate and has always taken the time to explain and involve me in all treatment decisions. My successful courses of treatment, in conjunction with her advise on how to maintain my dental health, has had a positive impact on my overall well-being. I recommend her services unreservedly.Dr Sharon Hayward.

This is a fantastic dental practice. They take their time to ensure I am fully informed and understand, as well as meeting my needs and wishes pertaining to my treatment.Milda Stakenaite is very professional and friendly. Never rushes but is very efficient. I feel well taken care of by her and hope I never have to change dentists again.

I’ve met Paras a few times now since visiting Kent Smile Clinic and I’ve been reassured and looked after throughout.Paras has put me ease, answered all my questions and is working with me to get me the smile I would like.I’ve also had an implant fitted here and I have my hygienist here too and every time I have felt looked after and been in safe hands.Would thoroughly recommend this clinic for any dentistry needs x

Milda was so lovely. I’ve had a fear of dentists for a long time and felt quite judged. Milda was kind, considerate and informative, always explaining next steps and keeping me calm. She has reinstated my faith in dentists so looking forward to working on my plan going forward.

Kent Smile Studio Chatham was recommended to me by my son as he had treatment at this location and was very impressed. I have a number of health conditions including a heart condition and severe COPD and I am on oxygen and, we were very concerned about having treatment with my health issues. I was put at ease by Dr Paras Vadera who went through the treatment required step by step, went through my care plan and a full costing plan.I had my first extraction this week and he talked me through the whole process and put me at ease. I would have no hesitation recommending Kent Smile Studio Chatham to my friends and family.

Sue Scan

09:02 08 Apr 25

Kent Smile at Walderslade has always been very responsive to my needs; to give me the best treatment when I need it. They never rush my appointments and always discuss with me any treatment and cost beforehand so I have equal say. I have always felt well cared for. This is across the whole team, from Louise the Dentist, Sylvia the Hygienist, the dental technicians; plus the receptionists are always welcoming.

Lynn Johnson

11:42 02 Apr 25

I have been with my dentist for over 60 years and never thought of leaving But due to the distance now and extra expenses it cost I decided to make the change.I have been to Kent Smile Studio on 2 occasions now and Paras has made me feel like we have been friends for ages.I wish I made that change along time ago now, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great friendly caring dentist.

Maureen Belcher

10:51 30 Mar 25

My dentist Viraj Menon is extremely patient & kind & is an excellent dentist. I am an extremely nervous patient & he puts me at ease, his assistant is lovely as well. I would totally recommend this place for dental treatment.

Lorraine Owen

15:52 19 Mar 25

I visited Louise as a new patient yesterday. I was blown away by the intensive thorough check up that Louise carried out - I have never in my life experienced anything quite like it. Louise and Diana (her dental nurse) were friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and a pleasure to be looked after by them. I don’t particularly enjoy going to the dentist (I am guessing not many people do) but certainly if you have a caring and gentle dentist it certainly makes a huge difference. I am now looking forward to having a thorough clean of my teeth.

Wendy Richard

18:49 11 Mar 25

I have been visiting Viraj Menon for a few years now, before this I was such a nervous patient - Viraj has completely reassured me and I am now very confident when attending my appointments. Viraj is very gentle and kind, he always takes time to explain any treatment needed and costings involved. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Viraj, he really is an excellent dentist with superb attention to detail

Always excellent service at the Walderdlade branch. The staff are without exception professional and friendly. They make you welcome from the moment you walk in the door. I had a 4 on 4 imlant by Sushil and have regularly been seen by Louise Yates. The staff here have made 'going to the dentist' as pleasurable experience as it could be.

I am an extremely nervous patient and Dr Vadera put me at my ease immediately. Dr Vadera took the time to listen to my concerns and also informed me of what was happening at every stage of the treatment. I left Kent Smile Studio after my first visit feeling more confident and happy than I have in years. Thank you so much.

Jovita Luland

19:28 07 Feb 25

Right from the moment I walked into the clinic, everyone that I interacted with was amazing. I very rarely leave reviews, however, my orthodontist, Dr. Ricky is most deserving of one! I had a best experience. Dr. Ricky is very personable and professional. He explains everything clearly. He is also very compassionate. You can tell he really cares for his patients. I will always be grateful for my smile to Dr. Ricky. And thank you to everyone from reception ladies to my DR. Rickys assistant.

Samantha Marriott

16:49 03 Feb 25

Kent Smile Studio offers a really fantastic service. Fast appointments, and both the front of house /reception staff and the dental team are all very friendly and approachable.

I've been a patient at the Kent SMILE branch in Chatham, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The practice is spotless and modern, and the staff are incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. My dentist, Milda, is exceptionally professional and talented. I recently had composite bonding done on my front teeth, and the results are outstanding. My teeth look fantastic!

Shannon Ridgeway

I’ve been going to this practice for roughy 6 years now, everyone is so helpful and professional. My hygienist Chris is super nice, knowledgeable and tries to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Would recommend, one of the best dental practices locally.

Katrina Roberts

10:20 15 Nov 24

I initially chose to go to Kent Smile Studio as it looked like it could help me with some long standing dental issues that has not been resolved elsewhere, I explained my issues over the phone, and an appointment with Dr Stakenaite was made.Dr Stakenaite has been brilliant, she listens, explains and cares, she is also a very good cosmetic dentist and meticulous in her work.All the staff I have met so far, from the receptionists to Dr Stakenaite’s assistants have been really nice, friendly and helpful.Phoning up Kent smile studio and booking a appointment has definitely been one of my better decisions this year

Amy Jennifer

18:55 07 Oct 24

I honestly could not recommend the Kent smile studio any more. As someone who avoided the dentist, I suffered for months because of past experiences and terrible anxiety, I am now the opposite! P Vadera has changed my experience all together and I look forward to going back! He took me through every single step, took everything at my pace, even held my hand with the hygienist after I got a bit emotional, never known a dentist like it and honestly anyone that suffers with anxiety, go to the Kent Smile Studio! Z Jiwan, my hygienist is exactly the same, calms you straight away, understands your concerns and talks you through it & takes it at your pace! Everyone was so supportive and patient including the dental nurses and reception. Never thought id see the day I was pain free and not terrified to go back! Thank you for changing my experience and being so caring and patient! I look forward to my next check up!

I had my first appointment with Louise Yates at Kent Smile this week. I felt welcome from the moment I stepped into the centre and greeted by the reception team. Louise took her time to listen to everything and make sure she had all the information, as I have a complex dental case. She then proceeded to carryout the most thorough dental exam I have ever had which included xrays. Louise and her dental nurse are absolutely lovely, they answered all my questions and I left feeling knowledgeable and confident about my treatment plan going forward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kent Smile to anyone

Adriana Pricopie

09:04 19 Sep 24

I have been apprehensive about my dental treatment, requiring approximately three fillings. The dentist meticulously explained everything and listened to my concerns. The treatment was painless and I am pleased to know that it has been completed. The staff is exceptional, professional, kind, and friendly. I will certainly recommend this service to anyone I come across. Thank you very much.

I had an intrinsic stain on one of my front teeth that was slowly getting worse.On a routine appointment with Louise we discussed the options. She was kind and caring, without any pressure.I decided on home teeth whitening.The results were remarkable.Would 100% recommend Kent Smiles.The team are lovely and not being the calmest patient I'm always made to feel at ease

Juliette Williams

I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received at Kent Smile Studio in Walderslade, Kent. I have been a patient there for over 10 years.

Paula Le Breton

12:49 15 Aug 24

I'm so, so pleased with my results and can't thank Ricky enough! The care and attention to detail each time I visited was brilliant. I was always able to get an appointment that suited around work and I could tell that he is passionate about his work and that is reflected in the result. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone wanting Invisalign. Thank you Ricky!Paula

Great, friendly service. Had new composite resin teeth, 2 days In the chair with Dr Paras Vadera. They always follow up and see how you are. Expensive (but it's all relative), you get what you pay for.Life changing, Dr Paras gave me back my smile !Highly recommended.Thank you Kent Smile Studio !

Charlotte Fitzmaurice

11:23 25 Jul 24

I have been using Kent Smile Studio for many years and very pleased with the service and care that I receive. As a nervous patient, Viraj has always made me feel settled and explains everything clearly. All the staff are professional and happy to help. I would highly recommend.

Christine Hales

20:49 22 Jul 24

I have been a patient at Kent Smile Studio for a few years, and have had treatment including an implant, and more recently Invisalign treatment to improve the alignment of my upper and lower front teeth which included 4 new veneers. I am very satisfied with all of the treatment I have had and those who have treated me. So much so that myself (and my husband) have chosen to remain with the practice despite moving over 300 miles to the North of England. The first class standard of treatment I know I will continue to receive and the outstanding professionalism and service of the staff at Chatham are worth the tedious long journey I have to endure to receive what I believe is the best possible dental treatment.

Connor Woods

12:31 04 Jul 24

Could not praise Louise highly enough. I broke half of my tooth on holiday, and she worked past opening hours the day I got back, and you would never have known anything happened previously.I then chipped it slightly again, and was fixed right away. Always giving me fantastic advice and an amazing service in my check ups.Strongly recommend, and thank you Louise 😁

Sheila Springham

14:38 28 Jun 24

First time to this dentist as only recently moved to Medway. Excellent service from the booking to the procedure. Many thanks to Milda and her nurse for making my 3 hour appointment stressful and comfortable as they did. My teeth look amazing well done to all.

Elizabeth Lewis

11:19 15 Jun 24

I’ve been attending Kent Smile Studio since Covid. My dentist, Louise Yates, always takes time to explain everything and ensures that I feel comfortable and don’t suffer any discomfort, whether I’m having a routine check or procedure, (same applies to Sylvia Chatterden - hygienist).I don’t dread going to the dentist anymore and am confident that I’m receiving the best level of care using the latest technology.Everyone at Kent Smile Studio is professional, efficient and friendly and I’ve no hesitation in recommending them.

Rachel Delaney

23:30 06 Jun 24

This is a really professional and friendly practice. The care is amazing. Everything is discussed and explained in full. Costings are provided and are clear and adhered to. The staff are really caring and kind. Dr Dattani carried out my dental implants. His care and professionalism was first class and his nurse Sam is brilliant I am over the moon with the results. I would highly recommend Kent Smile Studio. I signed up to have my implants there but have moved all my dental care to the practice because I am so impressed.

Rob Andrews

15:50 16 May 24

Recently joined Kent Smile Studio to look after my Teeth and I can't recommend them enough. I was seen by Dr M Stakenaite and she has been absolutely brilliant.

Lisa Young

I really recommend Kent Smile Studio.I have been going to for around 3 years now and recently had an implant at the front. Very happy with the finished product, Dr Dattani and Sam have been fantastic throughout the process, easing any anxieties I have had during the procedures.Louise and Chris have improved my oral health greatly since seeing them for checkups and hygiene appointments. They provide a calming atmosphere while being informative on helping me reach better a better smile.

Alexander Laine

11:04 25 Apr 24

Kent Smile Studio is one of the very best Dentistry establishments, being equipped with very latest equipment, and welcoming its customers in a friendly and extremely professional atmosphere. I had the pleasure of being treated by Paras Vadera who I consider him to be the very best dentist I ever met. Paras settles you with a friendly discussion regarding your needs and plans your schedule of visits with you. In the chair, you feel "no pain", and you feel much more relaxed than your previous experience(s) from the past. I cannot recommend Paras Vadera and Kent Smile Studio high enough. Thank you so much!!!!! Alex

Jeanette Gray

15:14 22 Apr 24

Very impressed with Smile Walderslade. I am a pretty nervous patient but all the team are very friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend Milda Stakenaite and her lovely nurse enough, whatever treatment I have had they have been very professional and caring.

Brian Harris

15:52 09 Apr 24

I joined the KentSmile studio a few months ago after becoming unhappy with my previous dental surgery. I can only say it was the best decision I have made. I saw Dr Milda Stakenaite who made a treatment plan for me. She explained what was being proposed and I can say I am really pleased with the resulting work Milda has done. She is obviously passionate in what she does and is so professional in the way she works. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good dentist.

Beth Archer

14:01 01 Apr 24

Dr. Sardinha and his team are exceptional! They took great care of my needs, from the personalised Invisalign treatment plan to the welcoming atmosphere on each visit, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Dr. Sardinha's great skills and expertise, my smile has been transformed, I am so happy with the results. If you're seeking top-notch orthodontic treatment, Dr. Sardinha is the one to trust!

Mandy Courtley

17:32 19 Mar 24

I was at the surgery on Monday and saw an absolutely lovely dentist called Paras. I am a nervous patient but he completely put me at my ease and was very kind and caring. He is going to monitor the situation I saw him about, which is brilliant. It is so reassuring that he didn’t leap in offering any unnecessary treatment - amazing. I am very happy and would recommend him and the Kent Smile studio to anyone. Thank you so much for everything.

Shaun Bradley

10:19 19 Mar 24

Brilliant work. I had the all on 4 implants. I was amazed on how quick all the work was able to be done, there was no pain and very little swelling the next day after the implants had been fitted. I would 100% recommend to anyone 👍👍 very relaxed atmosphere

john kitching

22:33 16 Mar 24

Going to the Dentist was always a very daunting experience, until now, I have been fortunate to discover a wonderful lady Dr M Stakenaite she is not one of the finest dentist I have ever had she is the absolute best, during my recent treatment I can honestly say I have suffered no pain or discomfort at all. She is not just a dentist she is an artist who has given me back my smile.

Nigel Beadle

10:16 15 Mar 24

Obviously when you’re searching for a dentist you havnt got a clue what their reputation is. So you go to there reviews and you read on how do you know if they are %100 genuine.I done exactly the same and took a chance with Kent Smile Studio thank the lord I did.I have never had a more thorough examination in my life.The dentist tested me for everything I just couldn’t believe how good he was.I can really recommend this practice if you want a check up or anything else give these guys a call. If your private it’s not the cheapest but I think it’s the best.

Chris Church

16:26 09 Mar 24

Kent smile is a great surgery. The dentist I've been seeing for many years is very professional, always puts me at ease and has worked wonders on my teeth. The whole team are very friendly, from the reception staff to the dental nurse Bethany and of course my dentist viraj. I am very happy to have found this dental practice.

Natalie Willis

10:16 15 Feb 24

Beth and Viraj were brilliant. Really put me at ease and everything went quickly. I was informed the whole way through my appointment and recommend Kent Smile Studio to everyone now. I've gone from not having any dentist appointments to regular check ups both with the hygienist and dentists. Thank you! 😊

Very professional, helpful and honest.Had recently cracked a tooth, I called the surgery and was seen in 45 minutes. My tooth was examined and deemed not salvageable, I was then booked back in for a little later the same afternoon.I find the ask the team friendly and engaging.I would happily recommend Dr Milda Stakenaite @Kent Smile Studio Walderslade to anyone.

Paul Harris

11:14 25 Jan 24

My dentist Viraj Menon is always very polite and reassuring, he is extremely knowledgeable and in my opinion an excellent dentist. I have been very happy with my treatment and the professional way all the staff at the practice have been.

Arun Baby Thomas

20:16 20 Jan 24

I was having a cyst and, I chose Kent Smile Studio after a slightly bad experience from another consulting in the same area. Dr Viraj Menon handled my case at Kent Smile Studio and I am satisfied with the care provided to me. I would recommend this dental practice over others in the nearby locations. You can spot a difference the moment you enter the dental practice.

Maddison Johnson

08:40 10 Jan 24

Attended with my daughter who was complaining of tooth ache. Same day appointment with her usual dentist. My daughter is extremely phobic. The dentist was calm, patient and understanding. A not so nice procedure needed to be done. My daughter was less than willing. With time, explanations and skill he managed with little trauma. It’s a shame NHS dentists cannot provide the same. I have no hesitation on recommending this practice.

Julie Whatley

09:38 07 Jan 24

As a nervous patient they put you at ease. Chris the hygienist is brilliant. He takes a lot of care and is very caring. But saying that are all nice and happy.

Caroline Louise

11:54 09 Nov 23

I’m very happy with the Invisalign care of dentist Rich Sardinha and his assistant. Both are friendly and easy to talk to while being professional and knowledgeable.I’ve also had Botox treatment a number of times, presently for last few years by dentist Louise who achieves excellent results.All services are carried out in a professional yet friendly manner from reception to whatever chosen treatment.Can’t wait to achieve straight teeth in due course, I still have a way to go but I have gained confidence in Rich and Kent Smile Studios. Thoroughly recommend.

Alison Hart

18:43 27 Oct 23

I saw Chris today as a new patient, for a deep clean. He explained everything well and did all he could to make me comfortable throughout. He made an unpleasant experience, much more bareable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and everyone I have met at Kent Smile, as they are all so friendly and put you at ease, especially if you're nervous, like me!

Had a good experience. I was informed about all treatment to be done. This was done with the minimum of discomfort. Aftercare advice was given. All staff were helpful. Practice is lovely and clean. Been going there for years and will continue to do so

This has been my dental practice for many years. The staff are polite and friendly, the place is clean and modern, and the dental work highly skilled, producing a really professional end result. My dentist has always discussed any proposed treatment so I have been able to be part of the decision process with estimates given so I have known exactly what fees to expect. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I highly recommend Kent Smile Studio at Chatham! The wonderful people who work there will make you feel comfortable, even if you are afraid of visiting the dentist.

First time visiting Kent Smile at Walderslade. Staff were friendly and extremely professional. I saw Milda who took the time to explain the process that was being carried out and sat down with me to show me x-rays and photos in details and offered advice on how to improve my dental health.Highly recommended!

Mr Zahir Jiwan is fantastic! He is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable and confident. He does a fabulous job and has improved my teeth with regular hygienist appointments and a teeth whitening session. My teeth have never been healthier or looked so good. Very professional and knows his stuff

I was very impressed with my treatment at Kent Smile Studio. Dr Milda Stakenaite went out of her way to make me feel comfortable, and the work I needed went incredibly smoothly. Absolutely recommended thus dental surgery!

Excellent treatment at Kent smile studio Chatham , Dr Viraj Menon and his staff are so kind and lovely, nothing’s ever too much trouble. Would highly recommend this dental practice to everyone I know. I had an emergency with a tooth whilst abroad and was fitted in immediately on my return from holiday. I now look forward to my next appointment.

Theresa Newberry

All staff at the Walderslade branch are very welcoming, friendly and professional. My dentist, Milda Stakenaite is brilliant. She explains everything thoroughly and is highly skilled. I am a nervous patient but always put at ease by Milda and her assistant. Extremely happy with their service and can't rate them highly enough.

My 13 year old daughter had a freak accident this week smashing her adult front tooth (right side as you look at her face in the picture) on a water slide. She was devastated but I contacted the Kent Smile Studio just to see if there was anything they could do as our NHS dentist said that they might not be able to match the colour exactly when building it back up. I e-mailed KSS on Tuesday night and they called Wednesday morning, booked her into see one of their dentists the same day and did the treatment including a full examination and x-rays to check she hadn’t done any permanent damage. As you can see from the before and after photos, I think you’ll agree they did an absolutely excellent job. They were friendly, quick, polite and offered excellent and I would say first class service hands down. I will always gladly say when I receive brilliant customer service as to me it is most important and something that is sadly not considered to be a focus by some companies but Kent Smile Studio exceeded my expectations. The result is a very very happy and relieved 13 year old whose confidence could have been smashed by this accident but KSS saved the day. Well done to the team!!! The whole treatment cost me £320 but it was more than worth it to see her smile come back and so soon too!

I'm one of those idiots that is terrified of the dentist, but these guys have proven perfect at every turn. Even the less pleasant procedures like scaling are done with care and consideration, and it's made clear that you can just raise your hand for a break or complete stop if you're having trouble. Great team from reception to treatment, couldn't ask for better

Hollie Bennett

09:52 22 Jul 23

Dr V. Menon and his team are truly exceptional. The whole team are fantastic. I have recommended the practice to family and friends and will continue to do so. The level of care I received from the receptionist, dental nurse and dentist was above and beyond . Who knew going to the dentist could be such a pleasant experience?!

Stuart Donaldson

18:13 19 Jul 23

I continue to use this dental practice despite moving to Sittingbourne from Walderslade 30 years ago. All the staff are very professional yet friendly and welcoming. The facilities are very modern with "state of the art" equipment. I receive regular apointment reminders via email and text which is very helpful when visits are sometimes 6 months apart. I pay monthly direct debits which helps to spread the cost for check ups and hygienist and I'm very pleased with the quality of care over the years. My wife is also very happy with the team and we recommend the practice to anyone in the Medway Towns.Thank you.Stuart Donaldson

I highly recommend the team at Kent Smile Studio. Super friendly, highly knowledgeable and professional. You're very much in safe hands. The ambience of the studio is delightful, filled with soothing sounds and imagery. My dentist Louise Yates and Hygienist Zahir Jiwan are wonderful. Always warm and welcoming (the whole team are!!), it feels like a catch up with a friends than actually going to the dentist. Great care and I always leave smiling!

Annabel Pike

15:51 19 Jun 23

As a person who suffers with an extreme phobia of the dentist, I never thought I would sit in a dentist chair again. But after seeing Dr Kerthan for my initial visit, I know I would be able to conquer my fear, he showed me nothing but kindness and patience with my anxiety! I cannot recommend Dr Kerthan enough. I now arrive at the clinic with a smile on my face and leave with an even bigger one! He has gained my trust and given me fantastic advice and confidence. Thank you Dr Kerthan!

Claire Pincott

08:17 14 Jun 23

All the staff at Kent Smile Studio are friendly and professional. I saw dentist Viraj Menon ans found him to be very calm and knowledgable. I had four fillings with absolutely zero pain, I was shocked! Would highly recommend this practice.

Ruth Gray

09:33 18 May 23

Sylvia Chatterton is my hygienist and she is the best I have ever had. She is always happy to see me and very friendly. She is always interested in my dental health and helps me with any issues I have. She always helps suggest the right brushes, toothpick, floss etc and tells me where to concentrate on brushing. I truly believe she loves what she does and takes real pride in her work. I always leave happy and with lovely clean teeth.

Sarah Phillips

22:40 15 May 23

Really please I chose to go here. Friends recommended this dentist. I don’t live that close either. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. The staff were lovely and gave my teeth a thorough check up and explained everything to me and showed me pictures and scans of my teeth and gums. They recommended options and advice without being pushy. I felt at ease the whole time and have officially made this my regular dentist

Carol Horton

19:50 19 Apr 23

Absolutely terrified of going to the dentist because of bad experiences. But bit the dust and went to Kent Smile Studio in Chatham. All staff super friendly, the dentist explained what needed doing and in each appointment explained what he was doing at each stage. Cannot recommend highly enough. I am now at the stage where I don’t even get nervous when going for an appointment.

Clair Smith

21:40 01 Feb 23

I cannot recommend Kent Smile Studio enough. From my first visit appointments have been on time, all staff have been so friendly and professional, and the technology and treatment first class. I have chosen Invisalign, and the process has been so easy. Sophia has been excellent throughout, recommending the best treatment plan and explaining everything thoroughly. Sophia is so friendly and puts you at ease straight away. I have every confidence that my results will be amazing.

Emma Weller

10:45 18 Jan 23

I received such great service at Kent smoke studio with Kerthan, he explained everything really well, made me feel comfortable and gave me a great smile. The service in general at Kent smile as a whole has been really good, the dentists assistant , the girls on reception were all so helpful too. I would recommend 10 times over. :)

Maria Pantiru

00:28 29 Dec 22

I'm seeing the hygienist at least 3 times per year, in my home country or here in the UK. The process is the same everywhere I guess, but Mr Chris Arnold at Kent Smile Studio made a difference. I had no sensitive teeth after, no pain, no bleeding. My teeth look better than they ever did. I was expecting the soreness and pain, like usual, but had none.I'm so happy I chose to replace my usual hygienist and I'm also grateful that I find Mr Arnold. He really is amazing, very professional and polite.The reception ladies so nice and helpful as well. They always have a big smile for you when you come in.And very surprising was that I didn't felt pressured to spend more money or to take quick decisions regarding my oral health like happened to me before in some other dental practices.Highly recommended!

Troy Wolstenholme

12:24 22 Dec 22

This is an exceptional dental practice. I was helped straight away with an emergency appointment days before Christmas, which I was grateful for being a first time patient to the practice. Dr Kerthan Srividiyakaran is a world class dentist and has the kindest bedside manor to boot. Felt in such safe hands being 7 months pregnant and he is easily the best dentist I have ever gone to. So happy to have found them.

Madeleine Murphy

20:21 19 Dec 22

My visit today for a routine check-up was, as usual, stress free and helpful. All the staff are friendly and approachable.Dr Louise Yates, my dentist, always explains her findings and what I can to to maintain the health of my teeth and gums.I have no hesitation in recommending her and the practice.

Sandie Hornby

12:03 14 Dec 22

An exceptional dental practice! I have just completed my implant treatment and couldn't be happier! Dr Dattani and Sam were kind and caring throughout and explained everything to me. They have honestly turned me from being extremely nervous of dentists, into a person that actually looked forward to each visit!! The whole practice is built on an ethos of caring professionalism and I would recommend them to anyone. If you too are scared/nervous at the thought of going to the dentist, give Kent Smile Studio a call, you honestly, won't be disappointed!

Felicity Baker

17:30 05 Oct 22

Louise and Mara were incredible with my daughter today! The appointment included my daughter having to have a tooth out so I had prepared for the worst but Louise was incredible, speaking her through each step and making everything feel relaxed and comfortable. As a parent who was silently worried too how my daughter would manage the treatments she needed today, my mind was put at rest by the incredible support and care given and seeing my daughters nerves wash away as she was looked after step by step. I highly commend the service at SMILE today, thanks to both Louise and Mara.

Amanda Fairman

19:59 24 Aug 22

Louise is an amazing dentist. She is the only dentist I have met who can give you injections where you don't feel them. She takes time and administers them really slowly and I am so grateful for this as I am a really nervous patient and she makes me feel 100% at ease. And great work at the end of it. I also have had no after pain at all. Thank God for Louise, great job done.

Thomas Irwin

14:59 11 Jul 22

The service I have received from Kent Smile Studio Chatham has been exceptional. The service offering is incredibly diverse and very reasonably priced.

I have never felt pressured to take a treatment, moreover the team here have given me expert advice for me to digest and decide what treatment path to take.I am blessed to have found such a great team and would thoroughly recommend contacting Kent Smile Studio for your dental requirements. A great environment, facility and atmosphere.

I was a little anxious joining a dental practice after some not so nice experiences growing up. My wife and daughter encouraged me to join off the back of their own experiences. Melody and Natalie are amazing. My comfort and well-being was always asked about. The treatment is done very professionally with minimal discomfort. I am now already comfortable visiting the practice. Thank you ever so much.

Had my implant fitted today @ Kent smile studio😁. Dr Danttani was superb throughout the process. He helped made the experience easy and effortless.Very considerate with regards to after care treatment; so there was zero complications therefore, would definitely recommend this service 🙂.

Lauren McGuinness

Matthew was wonderful! I was quite anxious about getting a filling for the first time, but he made me feel completely at ease, explaining each step as he went along, and asking me several times if I was doing okay. He was also very clear about what I should do / what to expect going forward (i.e., that it might be a bit sensitive). Thank you for being so lovely.

David Hunter

Melody did a fantastic job when I had my 6 monthly checkup. During my hygienist visit Lisa talked me through the benefits of using an electric toothbrush and even demonstrated on my teeth. Afterwards she was kind enough to give me a discount voucher for one of the toothbrushes. I would highly recommend this dentist as I left feeling valued and informed.

Tracy Rixson

I have never liked going to the dentist for much the same reason as others. However, even from my very phone call and first appointment with Kent Smile Studio my decision has completely changed. The staff are incredibly warming/friendly and informative at all stages.The dentist I have and continue to see, Dr Paras Vadera is by far the loveliest dentist I have ever seen. He is so informative and caring at all stages of treatment and fully breaks down everything in a way that is easy to understand. Thanks to him and his team, my visits to the dentist are actually enjoyable and I have full confidence in his work.Would definitely recommend to all.

All of the stuff in Kent Smile Studio Maidstone are very nice, kind and polite.While you start from the receptionist which are always trying their best to fit the appointments in the right time, with the all dentists which are always explaining how your treatment will be done, the nurses are always happy to help and the hygienists giving best advice how to have a healthy smile.Our family dentist ,Doctor Melody Prado is amazing looking after us for many years with a lot kindness and patience especially with the kids (and me 😊)

Review on behalf of my 6yo daughter and I. Kieran has been so lovely with her always making sure she is happy and comfortable and she now absolutely loves going for check ups! He treats us both and I cannot fault him, I went through some serious wisdom tooth issues myself , a lot of back and fourth leading to surgery. Kieran was so supportive and did all he could to make things better and speed up the process and never made me feel like it was too much, and did everything possible to help me be pain free whilst I waited. Thank you!

Michael Hobbs

Friendly and chatty receptionist on arrival even though I was a little bit late. Seen within a few minutes. The dentist Melody was very friendly and gentle during examination (even after I confessed my cola and energy drink habit!). She was very informative, showed me close up photos of my teeth so I could see the issues, and took the time to explain my future treatment properly. Melody even wished me a happy birthday for tomorrow! Very impressed so far and looking forward to my teeth whitening treatment later this month. James

What a breath of fresh air.. exceptional service and the in-depth examination carried out my Paras Vadera.Consultation one to one and explanation on what is required going forward. No pressure and more pleasing for me Paras Vadera is researching my results and coming back to me with clear and concise treatments going forward. Very pleased and highly recommend 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is by far the best dentist in Maidstone. The whole of the Kent smiles team are amazing. The people on the front seat are so polite and friendly. My dentist is Dr Xin Ng. I have had childhood fears of the dentist that I have carried with me to adulthood. She makes me feel relaxed and comfortable and explains everything every step of the way. So glad I have found this dentist practice.

From the moment I walked into the office, the staff was welcoming and made me feel at ease. Dr. Melody Prado took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, addressing all my concerns with patience and professionalism.During the procedure, I felt comfortable and well-cared for. The dentist’s skill and expertise were evident, and I appreciated the gentle approach that made the experience much less daunting than I had anticipated.I’m happy to report that I’m now pain-free and on the road to recovery!

I had a hygienist appointment with Chris Arnold at the Maidstone branch today. I am a very nervous patient and hadn't been to the dentist for 10 years because of this. Chris was amazing. Made me feel at ease, explained everything he was about to do and what it would feel like which was very comforting. He was very patient with me and fully explained an aftercare routine with me. I will definitely be returning to see him.

I have recently undergone some lengthy treatment to have a front tooth removed and a bridge installed. Being scared of visiting the dentist I can honestly say that my whole experience has been excellent.

I would like to thank all the staff at Kent Smile Studio Maidstone who are always very welcoming. Keep up the good work and I actually look forward to seeing you soon.

Our dentist, Dr Xin Ng is fantastic and she is our family dentist (4year old to elderly with dementia). Her approach to each patient is unique, taking their non medical needs into consideration. She explains everything in such simple terms and adapts effortlessly to any barriers we present.It helps that she has a wonderful and funny sense of humour, making our visits more like friends than a clinician.

Kieran Mahal took over from my previous dentist and putting yourself in the hands of a new dentist is always a bit of a nervy experience. I should not have worried. A sensitive drill side manner, kind and responsive. Alternative treatments explained well and pragmatic advice. So no excuse for delaying those routine check ups! 😃

This review is for my personal dentist Melody Prado. I have been going to Kent Smile Studios for many years now and due different facts I have had my confidence knocked when it comes to the dentist. But after a particular incident I was put under Melody’s care and she has made me feel so at ease and my worries of going to the dentist have gone. This is 100% due to her friendly nature, patients and care in her work.

Xin Nig is a lovely dentist! I always feel a bit nervous going to the dentist but Xin always makes me feel at ease and safe with any procedure. Xin also takes the extra time to explain things to me in detail to help me understand how I can better look after my teeth. I highly recommend booking in with her and the practice.

This was my first visit to Kent Smile Studo after quite some time of seeing a dentist. I am usually a nervous patient when it comes to visiting a dental surgery but reception staff were very efficient and professional and Kieran put me very much at ease. Both he and his very lovely assistant were very kind, attentive and most of all gentle. Clinic rooms are very calming and serene.

Kieran has to be the best dentist I’ve met.I had an exceptional dental experience with him and his dental assistant Man. Kieran's expertise and clear explanations of the process were highly impressive and comforting. I am not one to fear dentists, but for anyone feeling apprehensive and scared to visit the dentist, I could not recommend anymore how good the whole team are at the smile studio. Even as you go in and wait the receptionists make you feel at ease and are super personable also.Kieran ensured I was informed and comfortable throughout the procedure. Moreover, Man's professionalism and support was excellent and she made sure that I was relaxed though out.Their calming demeanor even had me drifting off to sleep during the treatment. A top-notch team that I highly recommend for anyone seeking quality dental care.

Kent Smile Studio was recommended to me by a friend and I've now attended several appointments as a private patient. My dentist (Kieran Mahal) has been very reassuring and has described each step of my treatment. The staff at reception are professional and friendly. Whilst I'm never going to enjoy going to the dentist, the team at KSS make it the best experience it can be.

Our family registered with Paras at Kent Smile studio in Walderslade and it’s been such a great experience from the first appointment. Our daughter needed emergency treatment last week and the staff couldn’t do enough to help, staying on after hours and even phoning to checkup with us the following day. The hygienist is very thorough and professional and I would recommend Kent Smile Studio to anyone looking to register with new practice.

I have chosen to use The Smile Studio for the major teeth issues I have experienced for many years.I came in, extremely nervous and scared about how much work I needed doing.I have been so incredibly lucky to have Keiran and his wonderful assistant (I'm sorry I didn't know her name)They have been so amazing with me and so understanding.I'm almost half way through my treatment now but I can honestly say that I would recommend The Smile Studio to anyone and everyone!Thank you!Rachel White

Dr Melody Prado, has been my dentist for many years now. I cannot recommend her enough. She is very compassionate and is very caring. Many years ago Melody undertook a large extraction, I can honestly say that she was so gentle I did not feel any pain or bruising. I would not go anywhere else.

Cynthia Skeete

10:57 24 Jan 24

Excellent caring dental service. The Dentist Melody is attentive and takes time to explain the proposed treatment, together with the treatment options available to me. I am free to ask questions and to share my thoughts about my treatment. Overall, I am happy the efficiency of the service I receive.

Dr. Mahal is incredibly personable with a great sense of humour. He is gentle and precise and carefully explains every procedure. His warm and friendly personality immediately put me at ease as he patiently explained all of the options. He is certainly one of the most skilled dentists I have met and his quality of care is exceptional. He is assisted by an excellent highly skilled nurse who anticipated all of my needs..The reception staff are very welcoming and there is a nice ambience in the reception area. I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 10 years, it is now a pleasure to attend.

Been with Kent smile since day 1. I always have a great experience there, no one enjoys the dentist but I’m always put at ease once there. Melody is great and takes great care and is always as gentle as she can be doing the job in hand.I have seen 2 other dentist in there when melody is unable to see me on short notice and they also dealt with me in the same manner.The ladies on reception are equally part of the Kent smile experience always polite and very understanding with appointment dates and times that fit around our busy work and school schedule.

I would highly recommend this Dental Surgery. I saw the hygienist Lisa on 15/1/24 who was excellent and saw the dentist Kieran on 17/1/24, I was impressed with excellent filling on my front tooth. All the staff were friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. Everything was explained clearly, my appointments were on time! What more can I say, a great experience.

I have a phobia of Dentists and for that reason, I have not been for 8 years. My normal dentist was not available so I was seen by Melody, she took my phobia on board and reassured me throughout my review. She was amazing and would recommend to anybody who has a fear of Dentists.RegardsIan Franks

Over the years I have been to quite a few dentists and I cannot recommend Kent Smile Studio highly enough. Not only do they deliver a quality service at a reasonable price but I also completely trust they will only do necessary work. If you want peace of mind that your teeth will be well looked after this is the practice for you!

I'm very happy with Kent smile studio . I've been going there for years and now my children go too . The receptionist always polite and helpful to you.

As someone who has had negative experiences with the dentist, I hadn't made a dentist appointment since I turned 18! Naturally, dental problems began to occur and I needed to buck up and make a dentist appointment. Moving to a new town, I chose the dentistry based on its reviews and I saw nothing but positive things about Kent Smile Maidstone... and they were ALL right!!I had an appointment with Ms Melody Prado and her dental assistant Bishnu (apologies if the name is spelt incorrectly) and it couldn't have gone better- even though I have work to do! Understanding that I'd had some trauma, both Ms Bishnu and Prado were so patient and understanding, they treat me with so much kindness, care and empathy. There was absolutely no judgement! The dentists that work here are truly here to help and it is such a lovely place with kind receptionists and very capable staff! I am looking forward to going back and getting done what I need to get done- even if my wallet isn't! I will be coming back!

5 stars to Dr Ng, best dentist my daughter could have. Dr Ng would take her time to reassure my daughter prior to any examination or treatment. Dr Ng goes over and above to make my kid comfortable. She is a great knowledgeable dentist and professional, who I can't fault. We need more Dr Ngs, kind and amazing person. I warmly recommend her, especially for anxious kids.

First extraction for many years and Dr Melody Prado was reassuring and professional throughout. Procedure was completed quickly and without discomfort. I fully recommend both the dentist and the practice.

James Hunter

I have been a patient at Kent Smile Studio Maidstone for a number of years now, and dealt with by Dr Melody Prado and have always found the treatment excellent, whether it be a regular appointment or an emergency. The staff are always friendly and efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending them, my extended family also get treated there, and have always said the treament is excellent. :-)

Great team. Never really settled at a dentist for a variety of reason but the team at Kent Smile are very professional and customer centric. Dr Ng is a joy - thorough, educational, pragmatic and caring.

I had an initial assessment with Dr Kieran Mahal at Kent smile studio today. I was so nervous and had avoided going to the dentist for many years because of this.He was amazing, made me feel so at ease, explained everything as he did it and not once made me feel judged for avoiding dental care for so long.I need to return for treatment but I was given a breakdown so I know exactly how much it’s going to cost before the treatment even happens.I’m still a little nervous to return but feel reassured I’m in great hands.Highly recommended!

I always receive a great service with Kent Smile Studio in Maidstone. Fantastic staff, friendly and reassuring. It's wonderful to find a dentist that can give you an appointment when you need one. My dentist, Dr. Xin Ng is very pleasant making me feel relax and reassured, making the whole experience far less traumatic. The best dental experience I have ever received.

This is a great practice. I used to have a dental phobia after years of bouncing around NHS practices. I made the decision to go private in 2021 and picked Kent smile studio.I instantly felt safe. At previous dentists I've been lectured by the dentist, but at Kent Smile Studio if you have a problem or a reoccurring dental hygiene issue they take the time to figure it out with you and educate you in a gentle but clear way. My dental hygiene and health has improved massively thanks to the education of this practice.I previously had Dr Liew and now have Dr Mahal. The transition in my care has been seamless and I feel looked after and informed every step of the way.

My son currently has the dentist Jiun Liew at Kent Smile Studio and she is the most amazing dentist that my children have ever had. She is so kind and caring. You never feel you’re being rushed when you have an appointment with Jiun she takes her time and puts the children’s needs first. I would highly recommend Jiun as a dentist.

This was my first time at kent smile studio. Soon as I walked through the door, the lovely receptionist was very warming and polite. I had one of my special needs clients with me and they also made her feel very welcoming and said she could come in with me to see the dentist called melody who was also lovely. Melody explained everything to me in a simple way what I needed doing. I’ve been to many dentists and I can honestly say this is my favourite by far. Thank you to everyone at smile studio.Belinda

I'm always made to feel at ease as soon as I arrive. Friendly, welcoming and understanding. Dr Jiun Liew is my dentist and Mr Z. Jiwan is my hygienist. They both take time to talk through procedures and check in with me at the start of the appointment. Would definitely recommend.

Staff are always welcoming a friendly. Appointments are always easily booked around when I am free without too long of a wait usually. Managed to get an emergency appointment for the same day, within 4 hours after a temporary filling came loose. Was treated immediately. They're always happy to help and very professional.

I would recommend the Kent Smile Studio without any hesitation. I have had several treatments recently. Professional run practice , transparency given on all treatments and charges prior to any work carried out. The surgery is extremely well equipped and the hygiene standards are exceptional. Friendly atmosphere from the minute you walk into reception, punctual appointments as well.

I have always had first class dental treatment from Kent Smile Studio. They always put me at ease and their customer service is second to none. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially people you have had bad experience with dentists in the past. Absolutely brilliant! Dr Liew is my dentist and I cannot fault her. Keep up the good work!

Maria Huseyin

I am an NHS patient at the Maidstone branch of Kent Smile Studios.I always receive 5 star service despite being an NHS patient by my dentist.My dentist Dr Melody Prado is so professional, thorough and kind.The dental nurses are also very caring and you will always be welcomed with a kind smile.I had a problem with my teeth that I talked to Dr Prado about yesterday and she acted on it immediately and got me a referral straight away. I'm so happy with this as it something I've suffered with my whole life and it just took one conversation to be addressed, I'm so grateful.I also want to give me hygienist Linda Richardson an excellent review as well, she is so professional and gentle and I always leave with sparkling clean teeth after a visit.I do pay for this service privately with a plan but it's worth every penny.If you're considering joining Kent Smile Studio, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend.

I have not fond of dentists in the past, to say the least. However, my experiences with Kent Smile Studio have gone a long way to allaying my dislike. I went there to have implants and everybody there was kind and reassuring and did their best to make my experience as easy and stress free. Mr Dattani was excellent, as were the nurses and my new teeth are top notch. I cannot recommend the Kent Smile Studio highly enough.

Caron Stone

12:16 28 Apr 23

Called as had something stuck between my crown and the adjoining tooth and I had been unable to release it on over 24 hours. The receptionist at the surgery said come straight down and wait. Was told my dentist was busy but she would see if someone else may see me. Was seen by my dentist as soon as I got there and with great relief Melody managed to release the offending article. She also advised me of about a floss that could be threaded between the cusps of the teeth to help if it happened again. Used to object about going to the dentist but Melody is lovely and very understanding of my worries so now I go regularly as she and her staff put me at ease.

Kay Castle

14:41 12 Apr 23

This dentist is the best dental surgery I have ever been at. I have bad anxiety issues. Always calm friendly and approachable. My dentist is always thorough when explaining things to me. Whilst making me feel at ease at the same time. And praising me for doing well I recently had an extraction and the technician held my hand all the way at through. When having an injection I have the magic cream. Works wonders. Thank you smile team. Kay.

Visited this dentist practice for the first time today and it was the best dental visit I have ever had! I hadn't visited a dentist for over 6 years so beforehand was worried about what treatment I would need. However, as soon as I walked through the door I was made to feel at ease. The staff were so welcoming. The dentist I saw was so lovely, kind and gentle. At the end of the consultation she showed me my teeth and explained a treatment plan for me going forward. Fantastic service and treatment all round :)

Can’t recommend the surgery enough! The Dentists and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I’m really happy with my treatment and my 2 year Son seems to enjoy his visit to Dr Kaur - she was so friendly, playful and really put him at ease.

I had a great experience. I am usually very nervous about visits to the dentist. Dr Liew and her dental nurse really put me at ease . They were jovial and welcoming. Their gentleness and compassion made the experience less anxiety provoking and throughout the procedure and afterwards she explained everything to me. They even asked me what type of music I like to put me at ease. I would definitely recommend this dental practice. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

In April 2021, after what felt like consistent pointless and wasted appointments at another dentist, my biggest worry became a reality… due to problems with my teeth when I was younger, my front tooth cracked in half and began to break away. This was when I contacted Kent Smile Studio, and the only regret I’ve had since that day was not contacting them sooner!From the very first conversation I had with the Kent Smile Studio receptionist I’ve felt; listened to, cared about, reassured and at ease and this has been the case with every person I’ve spoken to or been treated by since. I have always been provided with a top quality, 5* service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kent Smile Studio to any of my friends, family or anyone needing/looking for a brilliant dentist.I am so thankful for everything Kent Smile Studio has done for me!

The practice itself was clean, modern and welcoming. The reception staff were very friendly and kept me informed of the time to wait. When we were called through, the dentist herself was very friendly and pleasant and it was obvious she knew how to deal with children. During the whole appointment she engaged with my nephew and made sure we were both comfortable and knew what was going on. I would definitely recommend this dental practice

Rob Reading

10:32 29 May 22

In general I don’t think anyone is fond of visiting the dentist. However, at the Maidstone location I can say I’ve have the best experience ever!Everyone is very professional but also kind, caring, thoughtful, with genuine internet in your comfort and well being. I have finally found a dentist I will see ongoing.
