Serious honour

April 25th, 2024

I’ve probably spoken about MiSmile before – it’s a network of Invisalign providers all over the country.

Over 100 of the best practices are members of the network, and it’s an honour for us that Brightside is a MiSmile member.

And not just that – we find ourselves moving in the right direction.

Each quarter, we’re assessed on our performance, based on various different criteria. 

The results are in from Q1, and it’s pretty humbling to see us move up from 5th place to 2nd, just a few points behind top spot, making us officially one of the very best Invisalign providers in the whole country.

I’m hugely thankful for the Brightside team – this simply wouldn’t be possible without their hard work and dedication they put in, day in and day out.

If you have been considering Invisalign, I hope this will help to give you the confidence that here at Brightside, you’re in very safe hands – click here to find out more about our Invisalign services.

If you’d like to talk about whether Invisalign is for you or not, hit reply or give us a call on 020 8888 4401.

And finally, I must mention Christina:

Christina is our newest team member, and she’s recently passed her dental nursing exams.  She’s settled in fantastically well, and now fully qualified, I know she’ll add a huge amount of value for her teammates and our patients in the coming months.

Have a great day!

April 17th, 2024

We all love a wedding, and April’s Smile of the Month story is the first to include one. But before we get to the wedding bells, let’s start from the top.  Our lovely patient Emily came to see Dr Ronit Patel – she was unhappy with the appearance of her teeth. Sadly, as a result […]

Losing teeth while you sleep?

April 4th, 2024

Losing your teeth while you sleep might sound like the stuff of nightmares, but for lots of people, it’s a very real reality.  (Not in one night though, don’t worry, there is hope!) On an almost daily basis, we see patients with worn teeth directly related to clenching or grinding their teeth at night.  The […]

Easter Grinch

March 28th, 2024

So, here we are, at Easter already. I can’t quite believe how fast the year is going, but the time has come once again for me to do my dentistry duty, and be the one voice of caution during the most chocolately time of the year. I’m no Easter Grinch, I promise, but hopefully this […]

March 21st, 2024

Many of our patients come across us online, while searching for a dental solution, and that’s exactly the case with Emma, March’s Smile of the Month. Emma had attended another dental practice for some time, but unfortunately, she felt her concerns about her teeth had not been listened to. While she’d been attending a dentist […]

Smile of the Month

February 29th, 2024

This month’s Smile of the Month is dear to my heart, as it focuses on a patient we’ve been serving for almost her whole life. While Samara’s oral health was excellent, she’d grown increasingly unhappy with her smile, with crooked front teeth being the biggest cause of that unhappiness. Samara came to see me to […]

My take on the NHS stories

February 21st, 2024

If you’ve been reading the news over the last few weeks, chances are you may have bumped into a story or two about NHS dentistry.  A couple of patients have mentioned the subject, so I figured it was sensible to drop something out about it. Essentially, if you haven’t seen it, an “NHS Dental Recovery […]

Yes, we do accept referrals…

February 14th, 2024

A patient came to see me the other day. And it’s fair to say it’s been a while since he went to the dentist. Not because he’s scared or nervous, but – like so many of us – life had just got in the way. He’d been busy with work, he’d started a young family, […]

Smile of the Month – February

January 31st, 2024

It’s a brand new month, and to kick February off we’ve got an absolutely fantastic Smile of the Month to share with you. Our lovely patient Nerina first visited Dr Ronit Patel as an emergency new patient. She had a wobbly bridge on her upper front teeth, which was visible when she smiled, which made […]
