Lingual Braces UK

My son was referred to The Smile Suite by our dentist in Bristol as he requires both twin block treatment and full braces. I cannot express how grateful we are to the team at Smile Suite for explaining the treatment so carefully, particularly as my son is very nervous about the work he will be having. Dr Saini spent a great deal of time walking through each aspect of treatment and answering questions. Our treatment coordinator, Sam, was incredibly kind and patient when discussing financing options and other aspects of the work involved. She has made sure we're in full communication throughout the process and shown the utmost professionalism and care when dealing with us. I strongly recommend The Smile Suite for its truly wonderful customer service, they go above and beyond what is required to ensure the patient and parents are happy and fully informed.

The staff at reception are nice and friendly, a very caring and gentle dentist that puts you at ease. Had a back tooth pulled and didn't even know he had done it. As for value for money, I've no idea but I was happy to pay.

Excellent service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Professional advice, services and procedures are explained thoroughly.

It has taken me a long time to write this review because I really want to do the practice and Dr Sadiq justice. Having Invisalign has literally changed my life and I couldn’t be more thankful. At the consultation, I remember crying because dentists usually make me really nervous. Dr Sadiq is the dentist who oversees all Invisalign treatment and did my consultation along with another man who doesn’t work at the practice anymore. They were so lovely and took their time to explain everything and make me feel less nervous and more confident about starting treatment. I think my consultation was about an hour. I was given all options and allowed to choose freely which type of brace I wanted, and not pushed to do any particular one. There are options for white braces which are metal wire ones but less visible. However, I chose Invisalign which are clear plastic retainers that are changed every week or two weeks and they can straighten your teeth just as good without being noticeable. They can be removed so you can eat whatever you want, but you need to wear them for 22 hours a day. They are very expensive but worth every penny because they improve your smile, give you back confidence and Dr Sadiq took a lot of time to make sure my teeth were perfect. He is always available to see you in emergencies, always friendly and non-judgemental. I had attachments fitted which are tooth-coloured bumps on your teeth that help to straighten them, which get removed at the end. These are visible but still less so than having metal wire braces. Following straightening, I saw a separate dentist who deals with the cosmetic side and does teeth whitening, ICON resin infiltration and composite bonding which are paid for on top of the retainer cost. ICON is where bright white patches are removed from the teeth to give an even colour and composite bonding is where teeth are built up with a fake material to improve the shape of certain teeth. I had composite bonding done on my incisor teeth. My only criticism would be that some of the cosmetic treatment was rushed and my desired effect on my lower teeth wasn’t achieved because there is still some discolouration after ICON. It was rushed at the end of an appointment, whereas my upper teeth came out perfect because a lot of time was spent on them and certain stains were gone over a few times. No needles, no tooth extractions, no pain. Only mild discomfort when you changesets to a new retainer because they feel tighter for a few days. Also, whitening feels awful, and I hated it but is only temporary and by choice. The cost of the retainers can be split across one or two years – I paid a deposit and then split the rest of the cost into £143 a month over two years which was affordable for me. My teeth took about 3 years to straighten because I didn’t comply with wearing the retainers very well. They were originally planned to take a year and a half I think. I wouldn’t hesitate to get treatment at this practice. They are all so lovely and I feel great with my new teeth.

I have been attending this clinic for many years and always received excellent treatment. On this occasion I was given an appointment at very short notice. I was seen by Dr Paras Malde who made me feel very welcome. His friendly manner made me feel at ease right from the start. He listened very carefully to me explaining my problem and following an examination gave me his diagnosis in a clear and understandable way. I am most grateful to him and would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

A massive thank you to Dr Siddiqui and his team for being warm, welcoming and for transforming my smile!! I truly can’t recommend them enough. Having braces at 30 I was initially nervous about the process and cost. However, I was immediately put at ease and opted for a payment plan. It was always a pleasure to visit and was offered a professional service from start to finish. Thank you!
