Patient Reviews
Real feedback from patients across our London clinic, sharing trusted experiences, quality care, and confidence built through exceptional dentistry.
I have had a few dentists over the years but I have to say that Dr Mehdi is absolutely outstanding. Since being recommended to him a few years ago by a friend, all of my treatments have been with him simply because I trust him and his work. He is incredibly skilled, thorough, and gentle. I’ve had various treatments including composite bonding and Invisalign to improve my smile and anytime I needed to get anything done, Dr Mehdi took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt at ease every step of the way. I would highly recommend him and really looking forward to taking my dad to get his implant done!

When you walk-in , you feel the excess of excellence the decor, then the staff have this impeccable smile and friendliness that puts you in a very relaxing mood! Then comes the doctor who puts you in a it’s not bad at all that is if you have been to a dentist before fright gone ! He also explains everything to a T! Communication is impeccable! Then comes the money man and I tell you, everything’s he says makes you a believer! I guess that is why they are called “smiles by da river”. Am so impressed! Trust me on this. Oh I forgot to mention the pricing! I will advise everyone to take the advantage of their present offer! Period.

I recently had two dental implants done at Smiles By The River in Battersea, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the first consultation to the final appointment, the team were incredibly professional, kind, and reassuring. I was quite nervous at first, but they explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The clinic itself is beautiful, modern, spotless, and equipped with the latest technology, which really gave me confidence that I was in good hands. The results are amazing. My new teeth look completely natural, and I can finally smile again without feeling self-conscious. It’s honestly life-changing. I can’t thank the team enough and would recommend Smiles By The River to anyone considering dental implants or any kind of dental treatment. They truly care about their patients and go above and beyond.

After hunting high and low (London,Budapest,Turkey) for a full mouth Teeth-in-a-day implant treatment.. I discovered the wonderful 'Smiles by the River'. From the first phone call to my last visit (leaving with a wonderful smile) I felt I was in the hands of a completely professional team. A team who actually cared about me, about my feelings, my concerns, my wishes for the final outcome of my teeth and my smile. The whole team really care for you, there was no push push,no grab for my money, just a care for your feelings and how they can best help you to leave their Dental Studio looking and feeling happy with their work and you're smile. Yes, a big thank you to all of the team for transforming my life! I would highly recommend smiles by the river to any person thinking of implants...This is the place to go.

I had a truly excellent experience during my dental consultation. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Mehdi and his team made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Elena was especially professional, attentive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Dr. Mehdi took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and provide thoughtful recommendations. Great prices compared to other places. The clinic itself is impressive—spotlessly clean, well-organized, and equipped with first-class, modern technology that made the whole visit feel efficient and high-quality. The combination of expert care, professionalism, and state-of-the-art equipment really sets this practice apart. I left feeling confident and fully informed, and I would highly recommend Dr. Mehdi and his team to anyone looking for top-level dental care.” Update: I had a great experience with my implant procedure. It was painless and no bleeding Dr. Mehdi was highly professional, and Nurse Toni was reassuring, kind, and very helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend this dentist for their professionalism and outstanding care.👏🤝🤝

I recently had a dental implant procedure at Smile by the River in Battersea with Dr. Mehdi, and I am extremely pleased with the service. I was quite nervous before my appointment, but Dr. Mehdi answered all my questions, explained each step of the procedure, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The procedure itself was very quick and absolutely painless. Dr. Mehdi checked on me multiple times during the process to ensure I was okay. After the procedure, I was booked for a check-up appointment in one week, and the very next day the clinic called to check how I was feeling. The overall experience was excellent. The level of care and attention from the team was impressive, and I can definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality dental care at an affordable price. On top of that, the clinic itself is very clean and modern, equipped with high-tech, state-of-the-art equipment.

Exceptional care that goes beyond dentistry. Life-changing in a crisis! I cannot recommend Smiles By The River highly enough. This practice delivers truly premium service. The kind usually reserved for high-net-worth individuals. From the moment you step in, everything feels world-class. The facilities are immaculate, impeccably clean and hygienic, yet warm, vibrant, and aesthetically stunning, a far cry from the sterile feel of many dental clinics. It immediately puts you at ease. But what truly sets this place apart is the team, starting with my dentist, Mehdi (who I believe owns the practice). He is not only an absolute gentleman but a world-class dentist with exceptional skill, empathy, and dedication. A couple of days before my sister’s wedding, I was in a car accident that knocked out my dental bridge. I lost it entirely in the chaos and was devastated at the thought of attending the wedding with a missing front tooth. I was so self-conscious and nervous. I called Smiles By The River in a panic, explained the urgent situation, and they moved heaven and earth to accommodate me. They booked me in the very next day and, to my astonishment, Mehdi arranged for a brand-new dental bridge to be created and fitted all within one day, provided I came in very early. I work nights and don’t finish until 6am, so I headed straight there from North London (where I live and work) to South London after a long shift, exhausted but desperate. When I arrived, they took an X-ray, got straight to work, and incredibly Mehdi even let me rest on a comfortable sofa with a clean blanket while the bridge was being prepared. I actually managed to get some much-needed sleep. The compassion, humanity, and genuine care I received were second to none – I’ve never experienced anything like it at a dental practice. The entire team is outstanding: world-class professionals who are also just genuinely wonderful human beings. Special thanks to Mehdi, Marco, Shohaib, Sam, Izzy, and Elena. Every single one of them contributed to making a stressful, urgent situation feel supportive and seamless. My new bridge looks perfect, fits flawlessly, and I walked out of there beaming (literally!) in time for the wedding. If you’re looking for exceptional dentistry combined with heartfelt, patient-centred care, Smiles By The River is in a league of its own. They didn’t just fix my tooth… they restored my confidence at a moment when I needed it most. I’ll be a patient for life and will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Frequently Asked Questions
All-on-6 dental implants provide strong support for a full arch of fixed teeth, and patients often want to understand how the treatment works. Here are some of the questions we’re most commonly asked.
Is All-on-6 dental implants worth it?
For many patients with multiple missing or failing teeth, All-on-6 dental implants can be a highly worthwhile long-term solution.
By using six implants to support a full arch of fixed teeth, the treatment offers increased stability, strength, and load distribution compared to fewer implants.
Suitability depends on bone quality and overall health. At our All-on-6 clinic in Battersea, London, we carry out detailed digital planning to determine whether this approach provides the best long-term outcome for you.
How many teeth do you get with All-on-6?
All-on-6 dental implants typically support a full arch of teeth, usually between 10 and 14 teeth per arch depending on your jaw size and design.
Six implants are placed strategically to support a fixed bridge, restoring both function and appearance.
The exact number of teeth and design will be customised following assessment and digital planning at your consultation.
What is an All-on-6 procedure?
An All-on-6 procedure involves placing six dental implants into the jaw to support a full arch of fixed replacement teeth.
After digital planning and CBCT imaging, implants are inserted and a temporary fixed bridge is usually placed.
Once healing is complete and the implants have integrated with the bone, a final long-term bridge is fitted for durability and aesthetics.
What are the disadvantages of All-on-6 dental implants?
All-on-6 treatment involves minor oral surgery and requires adequate bone support. Healing time is needed before the final bridge is fitted.
There may be temporary swelling or discomfort after placement.
As with all implant procedures, there is a small risk of implant failure, particularly if oral hygiene is poor or maintenance visits are missed.
A thorough clinical assessment helps reduce risks and improve predictability.
Which is better, All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants?
Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 are effective full-arch implant solutions.
All-on-6 uses two additional implants, which can provide greater stability and load distribution, particularly for patients with strong bone volume.
The best option depends on your bone structure, bite, and long-term goals.
At our London clinic, we assess each case individually to recommend the most suitable and stable solution.
