“The best dentist I’ve been to, highly recommend. The dentist explains everything, gives options about next steps, is very, very accommodating (saw me last minute when I was in pain), and he’s very skilled (tooth extraction was fantastic – I was nervous, and he guided me through the process. I didn’t even realise the tooth extraction was completed until he told me.” – Jenny, Embankment.

4 years a customer and always professional yet friendly service. Corrected my major issues (fillings/caps) and while they're keen to ensure ongoing 'perfect teeth' they don't hard sell peripheral / optional treatments. Highly recommended

I was looking for somewhere with a personal touch, that I could trust and that’s what I got at Mint. They always remember my name and are so polite. After a year of zoom meetings I really wanted my teeth to be straight and the results completely surpassed my expectations. I now feel comfortable taking photos! The team explained everything clearly (I felt I could ask anything multiple times) appointments were always organised and it was a really easy, worthwhile process. My teeth look like my teeth but are now at their best.

The clinic is a really lovely place to visit - it is extremely clean and all of the staff are very friendly. They were kind and reassuring all the way through my Invisalign treatment - as well as having amazing technology at their disposal. Dr Imran is so accommodating and kept everything simple, addressing any concerns straight away. All in all I would definitely recommend Mint Dental Clinic, a lovely experience all round.

Best dentist I’ve ever had! Have completed a year of Invisalign with Dr Patel and he has been so reassuring and kind throughout. From the reception staff to hygenists they really go above and beyond to make you feel looked after and special. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Over the past six years Dr Raj and Preanka and all of the team at Mint have been exceptional. Every member of the team is exemplary at their expertise and I've never felt in better hands at the dentist. Affordable and top of the range, I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent dental practice. A very smartly turned-out surgery. Staff are polite and very professional. I am impressed with the modern teeth scanning equipment. Dr Raj Patel will put you at ease. He is highly professional dentist. I have no problem in recommending Dr Patel and the rest of the Mint team.

Spotting decay before it’s too late

Cavities work to restore the tooth shape and prevent bacteria from entering the internal structure of the tooth, potentially causing further decay or infection.

During a dental check-up, it’s very easy for our dentists to assess the surface of your teeth and spot signs of decay or little cracks and fissures. In this case, fillings are the best, lasting preventative solution before the decay becomes too serious. In the event of severe decay, root canals are likely to be prescribed if you are suffering from severe tooth pain or a blackened tooth where it’s beginning to die.

You’ll likely require an emergency appointment if you’re filling has broken or your toothache has become unbearable. Mint Dental offers out-of-hours emergency dental work and even reserves special appointments for patients in need. Find out more.

The process of receiving a dental filling is very straightforward, as we know you are aware. Often completed in just one appointment at our London clinic (direct fillings), we’ll clear out the decay, clean your cavity and close it all up using the material of your choice.

How can you tell if you have tooth decay at home?

  • You are experiencing tooth sensitivity when exposed to certain foods or temperatures
  • There are tears to your flossing strings
  • A previous filling has become damaged
  • You get food stuck between teeth
  • There are dark spots on the tooth

Types of fillings

Which filling is the best?

It all depends on the size of the cavity and position, but it also boils down to the patient’s choice and budget. Tooth-coloured fillings are certainly the popular option, as they don’t really even look like fillings. However, these are less durable than other filling types like silver or gold.
