I genuinely can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually look forward to going to the dentist now, I’m pretty sure that’s not normal.
When I first explored straightening my teeth, another dentist told me they were “too wonky” to start. I felt pretty deflated. Then I went to Hampstead Dental Studio and Dr Shah saw something completely different, he saw potential. He created a clear plan using a blend of Invisalign and manual manipulation, and for the first time I felt like someone was confident about what was possible rather than focusing on the problems.
The whole journey has honestly been life-changing. I used to feel embarrassed about my teeth and would hide my smile in photos. Now I smile properly. I’m proud of my teeth.
One moment that really stayed with me; I was at a work dinner with an American client who made a joke about how all British people have bad teeth. Then he looked at mine and said, “Oh wow… but yours are great.” That was a surreal, full-circle moment for me.
Although I've had porcelain veneers, what I love most is that they don’t look fake. They just look like… great teeth. People don’t think I’ve had work done, they just think I’ve got good teeth.
Dr Shah and the whole team have been warm, calm, and incredibly reassuring throughout. I’m so grateful I found Hampstead Dental Studio. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
