After having terrible trouble with an infection in one of my teeth, and having nearly as much…read moretrouble with my NHS dentist, a very kind woman told me about Dr A vahdaty. I was originally due to have a tooth out (one of my large molars) as a half hearted (and what I believe) not done properly root canal treatment didn't work with my NHS dentist. While I was at the hospital, due to have the tooth out, a kind young woman said that really I shouldn't have to have it out, but that the NHS are not funded for a second root canal. Giving me Vahdaty's number I called. I had a consultation and 3 subsequent treatments while they cleaned the tooth out and got rid of the infection. Everything was very pleasant, clean and professional. This was over a year ago, and although there is no guarantee for people undertaking root canals, my treatment was successful. This dentist only does root canal treatments. The reason I give her a four is because of the price.. It cost £600 all in all, but if you have the money, don't listen to the NHS. She doesn't have credit card facilities either but you can pay for the treatment in installments.

I visited this dentist over a year ago and I'm still suffering, the root canal work was…read moreunsuccessful, subsequently I had the tooth removed, but it was my jaw that was aching afterwards. The day after the treatment I had a feeling of dizziness, jaw ache and excruciating pain down my face. I had to go to hospital and was told it was as though I had experienced a head injury. I rang vahdarty, but no help was given. I think it was the clamp which is used while the procedure is carried out and it was a very rough procedure, my head was being pulled up and down in the clamp. Several trips to hospital and to a cranial specialist had to be undertaken and a year on I still get an aching jaw. I have also spoken to other people who have used this Endodontist and they too felt the procedure was very rough and left them in pain. I'm sure some people would have had a good experience of this practice, but it was unfortunate not enough time was taken and there was no aftercare for me, but i had to rely on hospital for support. I paid alot of money for 6 months of hell and wish I had never gone to this practice.

But when the pain in my molars got unbearable I had to book an appointment. I thought I'd try out this one because it's so close to home. It's a clean, professional practice. I couldn't help but notice how attractive the female staff were, who all seemed incredibly glamourous. I was seen by Dr Johal. He seemed to be more engaged in banter with his assistant than paying much attention to the patient in the chair - me! I went in complaining about pain in one tooth, I was told I need a filling in four teeth in all four corners of my mouth! It was ever so pricey so I settled for just the one filling, which he offered immediately. The pain reduced significantly but still shocks me from time to time.

I used to be a huge fan of this Dental Center when I lived in the UK and had a lot of work done as a private patient, meaning cash out my pocket as was not an NHS patient. Staff were always friendly, dentists and hygienist were great! Had to have a root canal. However, I have now gone to my American dentist who has said that the root canal never went the full length of the root which is now causing problems and needs redoing. In addition the amalgam used to fill was left jagged in between the teeth which is causing problems. It will now cost me just a little under 6k to have these amateur mistakes fixed. On top of it when I request to have my x-Rays and records forwarded on to my home dentist they want to charge me. Just really appalled and disappointed at the whole thing. Will be making a formal complaint, contacting the regulating body and ombudsman and possibly getting my solicitor involved. I feel they should entirely reimburse me for the mistakes!

Before I discovered Smiles in the City Centre, I had really struggled in Birmingham to find a good…read moredentist. When I was a student I had scoured my local NHS dentists, only to have my teeth butchered and then be robbed by the cost by the one most local to myself. The whole experience left me pretty traumatised and (I'm sorry to say) led me not to go to the dentist at regular intervals for a few years... On hearing about a fantastic private dentist (that just happened to be over the road from my old work), I decided it was time to get back on it and have my first appointment with this so-called magician... Well, they weren't wrong. I came across Dr Ruth in 2011 and haven't looked back. Smiles dental in the City Centre sadly closed down, but I was relieved to hear my favourite dentist had moved to a new practise in Solihull. Now, Solihull is a bit of a trek from us, but after some deliberation we decided we would make the journey (it is only about 30 minutes by car, after all) to go and check out the new clinic and get our 6 monthly checkups. First thing to note is that Smiles is now Oasis Dental care. Cue us, in the carpark very confused... We weren't told that Smiles had been bought out and wondered if we had come to the right place, luckily (after a brief phone call), we wandered inside in the nick of time for our appointments. The new building looks like an old converted Manor house. It has a little conservatory on the front of the building and the reception area has a TV and is clean, modern and fresh. We were greeted as if we were old friends and I was shown through the labyrinth of a building to the examination room. Unlike many dentists, these guys have a tool to "sandblast" your teeth with a nice tasting lemony concoction. I got the all clear and had my scale and polish within about 25 minutes (with Dr Ruth checking every aspect of my mouth for any warning signs). She explained every part of the process as she went and supplied me with warnings and tips as to where I might see work needing to be done later on. Once I had been sorted, I went to reception to pay. A scale and polish is £65 and the guys always supply the correct paperwork to enable a claim on health cover. The receptionist was helpful and friendly and we made our next appointment straight away. The venue gets bonus points as we were told we could leave our car in the generous car park whilst we pootled about Solihull (saving us a fortune in parking). This dentist may be a trek, but it's worth the journey for excellent care, great staff and a fantastically kitted out surgery. Bravo, Oasis.

I was a bit gutted when I found out my dentists was closing it's doors, but fortunately Dr. Ruth…read morewas relocating to their branch in Solihull. After not going to the dentist for many years, mainly due to being unable to find a decent one locally that I could fit around work, there was no way I was going to let a good one slip through my fingers. So off to Solihull it was for me. Somewhat confused we (Vicky and I) arrived at what we thought was Smiles Dental on Manor Road in Solihull but instead of the familiar green logos emblazoning the place it had been replaced by cool blue signage and a new name - Oasis Dental Care. After some continued confusion all was put to rest as this was in fact the right place and our trusted dental surgeon Dr. Ruth was waiting for us inside with her usual beaming smile and hungry for updates on our wedding last July. After filling in a medical history form and a brief wait while Vicky went it I was called in. I honestly can't recommend the quality of service here enough. Yes, you may be able to get dental cover cheaper on the NHS but the overall care provided by Dr. Ruth and her team is second to none. My full treatment consisted of a check up as well as scale and polish - no mean feat with my mouth as I have inherited my father's hyper-sensitive gums (cheers Dad!) and as such a full gum numbing was required to really scrape away the inevitable detritus that builds up over 6 months. Even though the process is a bit uncomfortable (especially the lidocaine injection in the roof of the mouth - oww!) Dr. Ruth and the team make it as pleasant as possible and after about half an hour I left with my teeth feeling like new (well, they did when I could feel my mouth again!) and already booked in for my next appointment. Hell, they even let us leave our car there so we could have a bit of a wander into Solihull town centre. If you've spotted my review of the aforementioned Smiles before you'll know I can't recommend Dr. Ruth any more as a dentist. If you're on the lookout for someone to take care of your gnashers then there is probably nobody better to turn to.
