Dr Shaila Patel-Buxton | The Natural Dentist

I have been visiting Shaila for 2 years now and have always been very impressed and happy with my experience. I have complex spacing and was going to proceed with veneers but Shaila diligently assessed my case and recommended that I go with composite bonding instead, to prevent irreversible damage to my teeth.

The composite bonding result vastly exceeded my expectations! The result is extremely natural and quite incredible given it is “just” composite bonding. Shaila is highly skilled, diligent and, I genuinely believe, wants the absolute best for her patients (which is not always the case with others). In addition, she is a perfectionist and was more than happy to arrange follow-up appointments until we were both fully happy with the result.

I have a great deal of trust in the course of treatment(s) Shaila proposes and I can’t recommend her enough. You will very much struggle to find a dentist who is as thoughtful, diligent and as skilled as Shaila.

As a severe dentist phobic it still feels surreal to believe I had root canal work earlier this week! I'd never have managed it without Shaila's incredible care and compassion. It was also completely pain-free both during and afterwards.

Having avoided the dentist for many years, I inevitably need quite a lot of work doing, but with Shaila's help I've managed to go from feeling utterly terrified to rather looking forward to having it all done.

If you're a nervous patient - don't hesitate. Shaila will look after you. There's no hurry or pressure and I've felt comfortable asking lots of follow-up questions. Violetta, the dental nurse, is great too, and very caring.

Shame is a big part of the problem for many nervous patients who have avoided the dentist and this was quickly eliminated, leaving me feeling very comfortable. Be honest about your fears and Shaila will help - it's been genuinely life-changing for me and given my confidence a significant boost.

I had very bad experiences with some dentists in London prior to finding Dr. Shaila. I don’t normally write reviews, but I hope this review helps anyone looking for a dentist and avoid bad experiences like I had! Dr. Shaila is down to earth! She is very open and honest, and helps me to stay calm and understand my dental issues. It’s rare to find dentists who will take time to explain thoroughly or who genuinely care about patients like she does.

I have been under the care of Dr. Shaila Patel-Buxton for some Invisalign treatment and some fillings.
To say that I am impressed and happy with the results is an understatement... I am absolutely over the moon! I was quite nervous about some aspects of the treatment, but I didn't need to be because Shaila made me feel at ease during my appointments with her calm and caring nature.
On top of that my teeth look absolutely fabulous and I can smile with confidence.

I had an amazing experience with SHAILA PATEL-BUXTON.! The atmosphere won me over, and the staff made me feel extremely comfortable. Shaila and Her assistant took great care of me during my treatment .They were phenomenal! I’ve found my new dentist, and I highly recommend!!

Called in today for a short notice checkup after being seen last week. Despite Shaila and the Nurse - Violeta coming close to ending their shift, they both made time to review my teeth and with Shaila given me detailed feedback, which meant a lot.

Great customer service from the both, highly recommended dental practitioners!

This is a long review, but if you have the chance to read through then please do!

I first saw Dr Shaila for a consultation three weeks ago, as somebody who suffered extreme dental phobia I had to see somebody who was going to align with my concerns and guide me every step of the way, and that is exactly what Dr Shaila Patel Buxton did. She listened to all of my concerns, my dental history and even looked into the mental health aspect of it, reassuring me every step of the way. It was really refreshing how she was able to make me so comfortable upon the first consultation.

I needed quiet a lot of work doing and she made me a treatment plan which was fantastic, clear and concise, very easy to follow.

I’m now in the third week of treatment and she has been incredibly gentle, caring, supportive and the work she has done turning my oral health around is just nothing short of magical. Both Shaila and her assistant Violetta are absolutely amazing in what they do.

If you’re a dental phobic patient then please consider getting booked in with Dr Shaila, I’m not kidding when I say she has genuinely changed my life, and I don’t say that often about anything!

Thank you both Dr Shaila and Violetta. I look forward to continuing my treatment with you both.

Also a big shout out to the BUPA bank dental team, the front of house admins are always extremely helpful and after every treatment I’ve had they’ve always called me the day after to check how I was doing. I was stunned at the level of attention to detail at this practice. Thank you!

I had not been to a dentist for a very very long time and too long to mention on here, mainly as I didn't have great experiences in the past. I intuitively found Shaila as I was looking for a holistic dentist and thankfully my gut led me to the right person.
The service at every level was excellent. Both herself and Violetta (assistant) are two very warm compassionate and professional people. They explained every step of the process from the outset and were always checking in with me to see if I was ok. I was truly dreading the process as I had not been to a dentist for so long but they were absolutely brilliant for managing a very anxious client (Me). I just felt totally safe and confident in their very capable hands. I could not recommend Shaila enough. She is a natural at putting people at ease as well as being very skilful and thorough with the whole process. So from the bottom of my heart a very big thanks to you both and you were a blessing and sending you both many blessings in return
