I cannot recommend Morvarid highly enough! From start to finish, my cleaning was the most comfortable and positive dental experience I've ever had.Morvarid is not only incredibly skilled and thorough, but also wonderfully gentle. She took the time to explain each step of the process, which immediately put me at ease. She used the latest technology and techniques, making the cleaning effective yet surprisingly comfortable.What truly sets her apart is her patient and educational approach. She didn't just clean my teeth; she gave me personalized, practical advice on improving my flossing technique and areas I was missing. She answered all my questions without ever making me feel rushed.The result was my teeth felt professionally cleaned and incredibly smooth, without any of the sensitivity I sometimes experience. If you're looking for a hygienist who is an expert in her field, has a fantastic bedside manner, and genuinely cares about your oral health, look no further than Morvarid at The Holland Park Dental Clinic.

Had a very positive experience removing my wisdom teeth here with Dr Faro. It was a very complex surgical removal of all 4 of my wisdom teeth and I had great results and healed very quickly with minimal pain. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend for surgical extractions.

I’d been going to another dentist for a few years, but I started to feel a bit uneasy and wanted to find somewhere I could really trust.This was my first visit to Holland Park Dentist last week. When I called to book, the receptionist was really nice and helpful. At the appointment, I saw Dr Faro for a check-up, and he took the time to explain clearly what treatment I might need, showing me the x-rays and pictures. He was very patient and thorough.I’ve had many treatments at different places before, and I truly hope the treatment here will be great and that this practice will be the one for me from now on 🙏Since I haven’t had the actual treatment yet, I’m giving 4 stars for now.

I recently came to the Holland Park Dentist for emergency treatment on a wisdom tooth and the service was amazing. They opened the practice early just to see me, were very responsive and helpful over emails post-treatment, and Dr Faro was a lifesaver with his calmness and clear explanation. I would highly recommend!

I have visited a number of times over the last few months to see Dr Faro. I’ve seen incredible improvements and am very grateful for his advice and expertise. Also his calm and professional manner.

Just had my first hygiene treatment at Holland Park Dentist. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Zora at reception, who couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Then I had my treatment with Dr. Morvi, who was not only warm and approachable but also clearly very skilled. She explained each step of the procedure thoroughly and gave me helpful tips on how to better care for my teeth and manage bleeding gums. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I have been coming to Dr. Faro for over 4 years now, he has consistently solved decades old issues with gentle and successful interventions.

I recently visited Dr Farokh for a dental treatment, and I coube more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, the staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel at ease. Dr Farokh was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient, taking the time to explain the procedure in detail and answer all my questions. The treatment itself was smooth and virtually painless, and I felt well cared for throughout the process. Dr Farokh expertise and gentle approach made a potentially stressful visit completely comfortable. I highly recommend Dr Farokh to anyone in need of excellent dental care.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this dentist practice!!!! I came to vacation from the states and upon arrival my back molar started to hurt really bad. I kept taking Tylenol but it still did not help. I called this practice in the afternoon and they scheduled me that very day in the late afternoon. The receptionist was very warm and kind. When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted, asked to fill out a bit of paperwork, and was promptly taken back to see the dentist. Turns out I needed a root canal! The dentist offered to do the first portion of the root canal and that would take away my pain and then I could decide whether to have him finish it another day while I am visiting or have my dentist at home finish the job. I decided to have him just do the first portion to fix my pain problem. He was beyond kind and kept asking if I was okay during the procedure. I walked out of there without pain, my decay all fixed, and my tooth sealed enough to allow my home dentist to finish the job. GO HERE if you need any kind of dental work. Kind people, really clean space, top of the line/modern equipment!!!

I had a filling done on a chipped front that was very noticeable and Dr Faro did a great job repairing. You can't even tell it was ever chipped! That definitely exceeded my expectations. Besides that, the whole team is lovely and make you feel at ease from the start. Top marks!

Deborah may be the gentlest -- and most effective-hygienist. Visits are a pleasure and my teeth are in their best ever shape.Aaron is also a spectacularly kind and good dentist. A really great practice--- which is why I now travel from across London to see them.

11:46 13 Sep 24

From the beginning to end, Smile Dental Practice, on 146A Holland Park Avenue has been very nice customer service and professional. Doctor Faroq is amazing. My teeth was very yellow and the laser Whitening was great and looks natural white. I definitely recommend this dental practice and will be visiting again. Thank you 😁

I found The Holland Park Dentist shortly after moving to the neighbourhood and am so grateful for all team members, but especially Deborah, the Dental Hygienist. While going to the Dentist may not be on the top of everyone's list, Deborah makes the experience enjoyable and something I am always happy to plan in advance and not put off. I highly recommend The Holland Park Dentist! Also, be nice to the team and always brush your teeth before your appointment :)

It was 17 years ago when I was first looking for a dental practice, and my best friend recommended the practice to me. I needed help with general care and advice re getting my teeth straightened, which had been a problem since childhood. Careful preparation followed by referral to colleagues for dental braces and implants changed my life and I could smile again. What stood out was the careful attention to detail, planning and prevention of pain over the years.Friendly reminders about checkups and hygienist appointments have ensured that my dental health has remained good throughout. It is always easy to get an appointment. Overall I am very happy with the Holland Park practice and the excellent care I have received throughout from Aron Balkin, the best dentist I have ever had. Highly recommended

I have always had a very good experience when seeing Dr Fraah. I never look back sense going to see him for many years. He has restored all my teeth into good health with no issues whatsoever! He has done very good implants for me also that are over 10 years old and are still in good condition. I can recommend him to anyone for dental treatment!

Fantastic Dentist. They have a wealth of experience and good advice. I saw my gum health increase to unseen levels thanks to them. They’re also very organised and produce helpful reminders about your appointments.

I have been a patient of Dr Faro for over 15 years and have never looked back. I was always conscious of smiling but since being a patient of Dr Faro, my teeth are always showing! Such a friendly, caring team and always there when I need them! I recommend him to anyone who asks for a good dentist, which I know are hard to come by these days!

I've been a patient of Dr Faro for over 21 years and am totally satisfied and happy with all the treatment he has carried out for me and my family. He has been the dentist to all my family members and has placed an implant for my son 10 years ago.I totally trust his dental judgement and work. I recommend him to anyone who needs perfect dentistry. His dental team at Hollland Park is all so kind and caring just like himself.

I have been to the The Holland Park Dentist a few times now and always had a great experience. Dr. Aron Balkin is so kind and puts you at ease immediately, whether you are there for a check-up, filling, or crown replacement. The practice has just been completely renovated recently, looks great, and is very clean. The hygienists are good as well (firm, but not too rough) and of course always ask about flossing, toothbrushes, etc. It is not difficult to get an appointment in my experience, and they are pretty efficient. If I had to find something for the Con's list, they don't take Amex. But really, this is a great practice, and I highlt recommend them.

I am having a short stay in London, and my wisdom teeth was causing local infection and pain, but fortunately this clinic was able to arrange a same day emergency appointment for me. Dr Aron was very professional which relieve my anxiety, and most importantly helped me to fix the issue. THANK YOU!

Dr Faro specifically has been my dentist for over 10 years.

I will highly recommend this dental practice to anyone seeking for top tier dentist with a lot of support.

I was a very anxious person and terribly scared of dentists.Dr. Faro, who has been my dentist for several years, has managed to help me to get over my anxiety.He has excellent verbal communication skills; he explains procedures and answer questions in a way that it is easy for patients to understand.Dr. Faro is courteous and respectful toward patients, he treats patients with dignity and listen to them. In my view he has excellent knowledge of dentistry and he is a very conscientious person.The place has just been refurbished and the music played in the background makes you feel very relaxed.My sister, who is also his patient and I, recommend him highly.

The Holland Park dentist is a great place to go and take care of your teeth. The front desk staff makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door.The team is very professional, examining and providing with solutions by priority. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. I’ve been going there for a complicated process and then for keeping up and cleaning and with them I always feel that I am in good hands. In my opinion and based on my experience I would seriously highly recommend this dental practise.

Today was the second time that I saw the wonderful Hygienist called Andesha. She is very welcoming first of all, and of course very professional, knowledgeable, precise, and very very thorough.I have seen many hygienists in the past but I can truly say that Andesha is the best. She really takes care of you and gives you lots of advice on how to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Her passion for what she does really shines through. I could not recommend her enough.

Julian Jackson

I was long overdue for treatment and was a bit anxious prior to going in.However, everything was explained clearly beforehand and the treatment itself was the best I had ever experienced in a dental chair.Great overall service so I highly recommend.

I have been on my first Implant journey with Dr Faro since last year. I was fearful about the whole thing but Dr Faro immediately made me calm with his genuine kindness. His calm manner, soft voice and importantly very thorough explanation can ease your concern. I have never felt rushed even after I asked so many questions. I can now trust him completely. I also get general tooth work by Dr Aron whom I met over 10 years ago for emergency treatment when I broke my tooth just before Christmas. He squeezed me in and did a brilliant job to salvage my tooth which lasted for years. Their nurses and receptionists (former and new: Maria and the young lady -sorry I forgot your name) are very helpful and genuine. I will recommend this small but very comfortable surgery to anyone.

Dr Zhand is amazing. When I first saw him I had dreadful gums that were threatening tooth loss and a bad tooth a previous dentist wouldn't remove which had led to bone loss affecting the surrounding teeth. I also have issues with local anaesthetic and healing due to ehlers danlos syndrome. One year after completing the recommended treatment and removing the bad tooth I have no gum disease and no further bone loss. Trust him 100%. The best dentist I've ever had. Thank you for saving my smile!

15:47 30 Jan 22

Excellent work, excellent attention to detail and all for a surprisingly good price. I started as an emergency patient at the weekend, my veneer was chipped ahead for a big presentation on the Monday. Unlike my previous experiences at the dentist, it wasn’t rushed and the result was even better than new. Dr Zhand has been my dentist ever since.

Green House

15:31 30 Jan 22

I went to the Holland Park Dentist as an emergency patient because my upper front tooth was broken. I was so nervous but Dr Faro Zhand made me very relax. He made me a false tooth immediately and later he replaced it with Dental implant tooth. It looks even better than my old tooth! I highly recommend him and grateful for everything they have done for me.

Ash Z

11:07 29 Jan 22

I had been recommended to see Dr Faro Zhand at The Holland Park Dental regarding my crossed over front teeth. Dr Faro was excellent, patiently listening and explaining with the help of a 3D image on what could be achieved with the Smile Tru system. The tray system was easy to use and after 6 months I had perfectly straight teeth!Thank you Dr Faro and all the team for your great care and professional service. I would highly recommend this practice.

Honestly an amazing dental practice. Organised, friendly and excellent quality of care. I have quite a lot of anxiety around the dentist but I no longer feel that way now I have found Dr Faro Zhand even plucked up the courage to get my teeth straightened with invisalign through them - again excellent service & so happy with the results. Thanks for making me feel comfortable & never being at all judgemental, you’ve made such a difference to me!

Dr Faro Zhand is the best dentist I have ever had. He was my dentist in Kensington for many years and I found him in his new practice in Holland Park. He has done amazing veneers and implants for me, and I cannot rate him highly enough.

Andrea Myers

16:11 03 Dec 21

Dr Faro, has change my live after 25 years, and $28.000 spent on my smile state side , I still had no confidence.Dr Farrow spent 7.5 hours on my surgery, stem cells treatment and more. It took over 24 months to complete my treatment. I had implants veneers gum alinement, and whitening. He also didn’t leave me toothless, he built my temporary tooth in the chair.I get compliments everywhere I go. I lost him from Kengsinton , I couldn’t find him, and guess what I went somewhere else. They gave me a baby tooth for my Inplant, oh boy you surly get what you pay for. And I am know reunited with him. He will have to make me a new one.If you are in pain, if your smile takes your confidence away then say no more call him. He his so warm you will feel secure.I love you Dr FaroYour patient Andrea Myers

After calling up around 20-30 dental practices none were able to take me in as a new patient, due to Covid. till I called Smile Style, Sara (the receptionist) was very kind to have a word with the doctor and was seeing on the same day, the Doctor was very gentle since I have sore gums, I couldn’t be any happier! As I expected to be in a lot of pain during the treatment. Excellent service throughout the visit. 10/10 for me

Aron has been keeping my teeth in good order for over twenty years. His practice used to be called the Gentle Dentist- which sums up the experience perfectly. He is expert, fast and very gentle. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Aron Balkin and his team are fantastic! i had an issue that i wanted immediate attention. i called in the afternoon and i was given an appointment the following day. i was most impressed with thoroughness in which Dr. Aron checked out the issue. in addition to his own assessment, he contacted 2 specialist who concurred with his assessment. luckily the issue was benign.My wife and i have both use Smile Style. On every occasion, our expectations were exceeded. Super friendly and excellent service!

Aron is an amazing dentist, I suffered from extreme anxiety due to having awful experiences with previous dentists.Aron was patient with me and made me feel relaxed and ALL of my extensive dental work was carried out in a professional way and was virtually painless.He made me feel confident and explained everything he was doing every step of the way. I cannot express how happy I am with his service and his assistant and hygienist are fantastic.I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist and it's all due to Aron and his wonderful team, I cannot praise them enough.

Philip Mckinlay

01:15 24 Jan 17

I found Aron and his team some of the most professional I have ever dealt with. I had a cracked tooth so was grateful that Aron's receptionist booked me in at such short notice and that Aron put the matter to rest immediately. Aron is very friendly, professional and personable, a must for any dentist. If you want a great dentist experience go and see Aron and his team as I certainly will be.
