How we work

London Street Specialists is a referral-only specialist practice. When you are referred to us by your dentist, we first meet with you to discuss and assess the problem. We then devise a treatment plan or present the available options to you. We will discuss this before going ahead with the actual treatment. This ensures that you fully understand the procedure and what it will entail. Our specialists often work together as a team to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

The length of time it takes between the referral and the procedure depends on the severity of the problem and the availability of our specialists, but we aim to treat everyone in a timely manner.

If you are suffering from a dental condition your dentist is unable to help with, ask them to refer you to us here at London Street. We’ll be happy to help.
