I’m honestly obsessed with my new teeth! Carolina completely transformed my smile I can’t stop looking at them. I’ve never felt this confident before. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and the results speak for themselves. I’m beyond grateful this experience has genuinely changed my life. If you’re thinking about doing your teeth, I highly recommend her. Best decision I’ve ever made
I had a hygenist appointment with Aline and it was the best dental experience I've ever had. She is extremely kind, friendly and did a very thorough job. The whole process was completely pain free! Thanks Aline!
A friend recommended Smilepod Holborn, and I had a fantastic experience. My consultation was with Dr. Anna, who was extremely polite and professional, providing a clear and thorough explanation of the procedure I was interested in. I also had a dental hygiene session with Therapist Magatha, who was superb. Overall, it was an excellent visit, and I will definitely return as a regular customer—and gladly recommend this clinic to others.W. Taiman

I had a fantastic experience at Smilepod. The clinic is clean, welcoming, and very well-organised—but what really stood out was the quality of care I received from Uli Nascimento, the dental hygienist. She was incredibly professional, gentle, and thorough. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process feel relaxed and reassuring. My teeth have never felt so clean! I highly recommend Smilepod, and especially Uli, for anyone looking for expert dental hygiene in a friendly, supportive environment.

I recently had an appointment with Aline and was thoroughly impressed. She is incredibly thorough, patient, and truly client-centric, making the entire experience one of the best I’ve had with a hygienist. Aline is also very personable, which made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the visit. I usually go to Bupa, but needed a quicker appointment and was fortunate to find her - I’m so glad I did. Highly recommend! Ms Sanford
