Hygienist Rachel was wonderful... warm and welcoming but much more ... she's informative about the process and gives clear advice!

I took my 1 year old for their first check up at St Margaret's Smiles, the receptionist and the 2 dental nurses were fantastic and very professional, it was also extremely clean and tidy. There was also no tears.
Susan C.
From the lovely, helpful, friendly receptionist, I think her name is Lisa, to the dentist who explains everything and will only do work necessary, this practise is amazing. I've been coming here for years and would never dream of going elsewhere. The receptionist was extremely helpful when I phoned for an emergency appointment at 9am and got one at 11am.
Joanne M.
Rachel the Hygienist was very thorough with the children and guided them on good brushing technique and answered all their questions. Adrienne on the front desk was great at keeping the children occupied while they waited. Great service and very happy kids.
Kat K.
I had a really lovely experience at my first hygienist appointment! The lady on reception was super welcoming and friendly. Rachel was really friendly and informative during my appointment where she made me feel at ease (I'm not a fan of the dentist) and made me feel really good about my teeth! The dental assistant was also very gentle and nice! The experience has made me feel much better about coming for hygienist appointments in the future.
Margot L.
I had my appointment with Rachael and it was definitely the best dental appointment I've ever had. She was so lovely and kind and explained everything step by step so I knew what was happening. Also gave very good advice and overall made sure I was comfortable and informed. Would recommend seeing her for anyone who is nervous about getting their teeth cleaned.
Not sure where to start? Let's talk it through
Whether you're exploring Invisalign, considering whitening or composite bonding, or wondering whether porcelain veneers might be right for you, a friendly consultation at our Twickenham practice is where everything begins. We won't push you towards treatment you don't need - we'll take the time to understand what you actually want, check whether you're suitable, and give you an honest, clear picture of all your options.
Cosmetic treatments at our Twickenham practice
What happens after you contact us?
Get in touch
Call us, book online or fill in the form on this page. Our reception team will get back to you with appointment options - and for cosmetic and orthodontic treatments, we may suggest a friendly phone chat first to understand what you're looking for.
Your consultation
You'll meet your dentist, talk through what you'd like to achieve, and receive an honest assessment of your options. For Invisalign and more involved cosmetic treatments, we'll often take photos or digital scans at this stage.
Your treatment plan

Treatment begins
Once you're happy to go ahead, we'll book your appointments and walk you through every stage. We'll always allow extra time for nervous patients and explain everything as we go - so you always know what's coming next.
Feeling anxious about booking?
Dental anxiety is more common than you might think - and it's something we genuinely understand. Some of our most loyal cosmetic patients across Twickenham and East Twickenham started out as nervous returners after years away from the dentist. Our team takes the time to listen without judgment, work at your pace, and pause whenever you need a break - we'd rather take three appointments to get something right than rush you through one.
For patients who'd benefit from IV sedation - particularly for longer cosmetic appointments - we have a trusted referral pathway in place with our sister practice, where Dr Frances Carling-Thom provides sedation for the kinds of treatments you might prefer to be deeply relaxed for. Read more about our approach to nervous patients.
Transparent fees, no surprises
We believe good dental care shouldn't come with hidden fees or last-minute shocks. Before any treatment begins, you'll receive a full written treatment plan with a clear breakdown of costs - so you always know exactly what you're committing to.
