I’m truly impressed with Dr. Paras!I came in just to make sure everything was alright with my teeth, as I had some jaw pain and wanted to be certain it wasn’t tooth-related. After a thorough examination, the doctor explained everything clearly and recommended treatment.While I usually see my dentist in my home country and may have some work done there, I absolutely plan to return to Dr. Paras for future care.I highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent dental treatment! 🙂

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Zahir Jiwan. He was professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout my appointment. His thorough explanations of each step in the treatment alleviated my concerns and boosted my confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a hygienist!

As a former employee at KSS I knew that my daughter would be in great hands! Being on the other side (as a patient/ customer) yesterday, was a reminder of the high standard of care that is continuously promoted across the whole team! :-) From arrival, to the appointment, to checking out, all staff presented a friendly smile, and with a professionalism that is second to none. The practice looked lovely, having a new colour throughout 😍 with nice new blinds. It was lovely to see some old and new faces.The certificate of bravery was a lovely touch!Thank you KSS.

I had a check up at the Maidstone branch of Kent smile yesterday. My dentist was Dr Paras Vadera. My husband uses him too.I told him I don’t like the dentist.Paras was very understanding, and talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes, going through all my medical side and asking me if I had any problematic areas that I thought needed to be looked at. My dental examination was the best I’ve ever had.Paras was very thorough and checked everything. My tongue, my gum health, my teeth. Taking photos and X-rays too.Paras made me feel very relaxed, he is such a charming young man and I would recommend him to anyone.Also everyone at the clinic is very welcoming.I will be back !!!

I have been a patient at Kent Smile Studio for several years now and have always received exceptional care. Louise Yates is a highly competent professional who prioritizes patient care. She is considerate and compassionate and has always taken the time to explain and involve me in all treatment decisions. My successful courses of treatment, in conjunction with her advise on how to maintain my dental health, has had a positive impact on my overall well-being. I recommend her services unreservedly.Dr Sharon Hayward.

This is a fantastic dental practice. They take their time to ensure I am fully informed and understand, as well as meeting my needs and wishes pertaining to my treatment.Milda Stakenaite is very professional and friendly. Never rushes but is very efficient. I feel well taken care of by her and hope I never have to change dentists again.

I’ve met Paras a few times now since visiting Kent Smile Clinic and I’ve been reassured and looked after throughout.Paras has put me ease, answered all my questions and is working with me to get me the smile I would like.I’ve also had an implant fitted here and I have my hygienist here too and every time I have felt looked after and been in safe hands.Would thoroughly recommend this clinic for any dentistry needs x

Milda was so lovely. I’ve had a fear of dentists for a long time and felt quite judged. Milda was kind, considerate and informative, always explaining next steps and keeping me calm. She has reinstated my faith in dentists so looking forward to working on my plan going forward.

Kent Smile Studio Chatham was recommended to me by my son as he had treatment at this location and was very impressed. I have a number of health conditions including a heart condition and severe COPD and I am on oxygen and, we were very concerned about having treatment with my health issues. I was put at ease by Dr Paras Vadera who went through the treatment required step by step, went through my care plan and a full costing plan.I had my first extraction this week and he talked me through the whole process and put me at ease. I would have no hesitation recommending Kent Smile Studio Chatham to my friends and family.

Kent Smile at Walderslade has always been very responsive to my needs; to give me the best treatment when I need it. They never rush my appointments and always discuss with me any treatment and cost beforehand so I have equal say. I have always felt well cared for. This is across the whole team, from Louise the Dentist, Sylvia the Hygienist, the dental technicians; plus the receptionists are always welcoming.

Cheryl bance

I am a really nervous patient and have not been to the dentist in a few years. My dentist Louise reassured me and explained everything she was going to do during my appointment and was really patient with me. The practice is really modern and clean and the receptionists were really friendly as well

Lynn Johnson

11:42 02 Apr 25

I have been with my dentist for over 60 years and never thought of leaving But due to the distance now and extra expenses it cost I decided to make the change.I have been to Kent Smile Studio on 2 occasions now and Paras has made me feel like we have been friends for ages.I wish I made that change along time ago now, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great friendly caring dentist.

My dentist Viraj Menon is extremely patient & kind & is an excellent dentist. I am an extremely nervous patient & he puts me at ease, his assistant is lovely as well. I would totally recommend this place for dental treatment.

I visited Louise as a new patient yesterday. I was blown away by the intensive thorough check up that Louise carried out - I have never in my life experienced anything quite like it. Louise and Diana (her dental nurse) were friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and a pleasure to be looked after by them. I don’t particularly enjoy going to the dentist (I am guessing not many people do) but certainly if you have a caring and gentle dentist it certainly makes a huge difference. I am now looking forward to having a thorough clean of my teeth.

Wendy Richard

18:49 11 Mar 25

I have been visiting Viraj Menon for a few years now, before this I was such a nervous patient - Viraj has completely reassured me and I am now very confident when attending my appointments. Viraj is very gentle and kind, he always takes time to explain any treatment needed and costings involved. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Viraj, he really is an excellent dentist with superb attention to detail

Always excellent service at the Walderdlade branch. The staff are without exception professional and friendly. They make you welcome from the moment you walk in the door. I had a 4 on 4 imlant by Sushil and have regularly been seen by Louise Yates. The staff here have made 'going to the dentist' as pleasurable experience as it could be.

I am an extremely nervous patient and Dr Vadera put me at my ease immediately. Dr Vadera took the time to listen to my concerns and also informed me of what was happening at every stage of the treatment. I left Kent Smile Studio after my first visit feeling more confident and happy than I have in years. Thank you so much.

Right from the moment I walked into the clinic, everyone that I interacted with was amazing. I very rarely leave reviews, however, my orthodontist, Dr. Ricky is most deserving of one! I had a best experience. Dr. Ricky is very personable and professional. He explains everything clearly. He is also very compassionate. You can tell he really cares for his patients. I will always be grateful for my smile to Dr. Ricky. And thank you to everyone from reception ladies to my DR. Rickys assistant.

Kent Smile Studio offers a really fantastic service. Fast appointments, and both the front of house /reception staff and the dental team are all very friendly and approachable. I'm currently halfway through Invisalign treatment with Dr Milda Stakenaite who has made it such a breeze so far, and I always look forward to going into see her and the team for review and my next set. I can't wait to show off my results.

I've been a patient at the Kent SMILE branch in Chatham, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The practice is spotless and modern, and the staff are incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. My dentist, Milda, is exceptionally professional and talented. I recently had composite bonding done on my front teeth, and the results are outstanding. My teeth look fantastic!

I initially chose to go to Kent Smile Studio as it looked like it could help me with some long standing dental issues that has not been resolved elsewhere, I explained my issues over the phone, and an appointment with Dr Stakenaite was made.Dr Stakenaite has been brilliant, she listens, explains and cares, she is also a very good cosmetic dentist and meticulous in her work.All the staff I have met so far, from the receptionists to Dr Stakenaite’s assistants have been really nice, friendly and helpful.Phoning up Kent smile studio and booking a appointment has definitely been one of my better decisions this year

I’ve had such a good experience with Ricky. Every appointment has been on time and fully informative on the treatment process. So happy with the results of my Invisalign. The rest of the team and staff on reception always lovely and welcoming. Thank you!

Amy Jennifer

I honestly could not recommend the Kent smile studio any more. As someone who avoided the dentist, I suffered for months because of past experiences and terrible anxiety, I am now the opposite! P Vadera has changed my experience all together and I look forward to going back! He took me through every single step, took everything at my pace, even held my hand with the hygienist after I got a bit emotional, never known a dentist like it and honestly anyone that suffers with anxiety, go to the Kent Smile Studio! Z Jiwan, my hygienist is exactly the same, calms you straight away, understands your concerns and talks you through it & takes it at your pace! Everyone was so supportive and patient including the dental nurses and reception. Never thought id see the day I was pain free and not terrified to go back! Thank you for changing my experience and being so caring and patient! I look forward to my next check up!

I had my first appointment with Louise Yates at Kent Smile this week. I felt welcome from the moment I stepped into the centre and greeted by the reception team. Louise took her time to listen to everything and make sure she had all the information, as I have a complex dental case. She then proceeded to carryout the most thorough dental exam I have ever had which included xrays. Louise and her dental nurse are absolutely lovely, they answered all my questions and I left feeling knowledgeable and confident about my treatment plan going forward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kent Smile to anyone

Adriana Pricopie

I have been apprehensive about my dental treatment, requiring approximately three fillings. The dentist meticulously explained everything and listened to my concerns. The treatment was painless and I am pleased to know that it has been completed. The staff is exceptional, professional, kind, and friendly. I will certainly recommend this service to anyone I come across. Thank you very much.

She was kind and caring, without any pressure.I decided on home teeth whitening.The results were remarkable.Would 100% recommend Kent Smiles.The team are lovely and not being the calmest patient I'm always made to feel at ease

I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received at Kent Smile Studio in Walderslade, Kent. I have been a patient there for over 10 years. All the staff are most considerate, helpful and knowledgeable. The surgery is modern and all the best treatments available - and the cost is reasonable for a private practice.

Paula Le Breton

12:49 15 Aug 24

I'm so, so pleased with my results and can't thank Ricky enough! The care and attention to detail each time I visited was brilliant. I was always able to get an appointment that suited around work and I could tell that he is passionate about his work and that is reflected in the result. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone wanting Invisalign. Thank you Ricky!Paula

I have been using Kent Smile Studio for many years and very pleased with the service and care that I receive. As a nervous patient, Viraj has always made me feel settled and explains everything clearly. All the staff are professional and happy to help. I would highly recommend.

Christine Hales

20:49 22 Jul 24

I have been a patient at Kent Smile Studio for a few years, and have had treatment including an implant, and more recently Invisalign treatment to improve the alignment of my upper and lower front teeth which included 4 new veneers. I am very satisfied with all of the treatment I have had and those who have treated me. So much so that myself (and my husband) have chosen to remain with the practice despite moving over 300 miles to the North of England. The first class standard of treatment I know I will continue to receive and the outstanding professionalism and service of the staff at Chatham are worth the tedious long journey I have to endure to receive what I believe is the best possible dental treatment.

Saw my dentist for regular checkup very impressed, Viraj Menon is a very thorough and professional and will advise on any concerns regarding the health of your teeth and most of all puts you at ease whilst working, his assistant is also very pleasant and courteous.

Connor Woods

Could not praise Louise highly enough. I broke half of my tooth on holiday, and she worked past opening hours the day I got back, and you would never have known anything happened previously.I then chipped it slightly again, and was fixed right away. Always giving me fantastic advice and an amazing service in my check ups.Strongly recommend, and thank you Louise 😁

I’ve been attending Kent Smile Studio since Covid. My dentist, Louise Yates, always takes time to explain everything and ensures that I feel comfortable and don’t suffer any discomfort, whether I’m having a routine check or procedure, (same applies to Sylvia Chatterden - hygienist).I don’t dread going to the dentist anymore and am confident that I’m receiving the best level of care using the latest technology.Everyone at Kent Smile Studio is professional, efficient and friendly and I’ve no hesitation in recommending them.

Rachel Delaney

23:30 06 Jun 24

This is a really professional and friendly practice. The care is amazing. Everything is discussed and explained in full. Costings are provided and are clear and adhered to. The staff are really caring and kind. Dr Dattani carried out my dental implants. His care and professionalism was first class and his nurse Sam is brilliant I am over the moon with the results. I would highly recommend Kent Smile Studio. I signed up to have my implants there but have moved all my dental care to the practice because I am so impressed.

Kent Smile Studio is one of the very best Dentistry establishments, being equipped with very latest equipment, and welcoming its customers in a friendly and extremely professional atmosphere. I had the pleasure of being treated by Paras Vadera who I consider him to be the very best dentist I ever met. Paras settles you with a friendly discussion regarding your needs and plans your schedule of visits with you. In the chair, you feel "no pain", and you feel much more relaxed than your previous experience(s) from the past. I cannot recommend Paras Vadera and Kent Smile Studio high enough. Thank you so much!!!!! Alex

Jeanette Gray

15:14 22 Apr 24

Very impressed with Smile Walderslade. I am a pretty nervous patient but all the team are very friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend Milda Stakenaite and her lovely nurse enough, whatever treatment I have had they have been very professional and caring.

Mandy Courtley

17:32 19 Mar 24

I was at the surgery on Monday and saw an absolutely lovely dentist called Paras. I am a nervous patient but he completely put me at my ease and was very kind and caring. He is going to monitor the situation I saw him about, which is brilliant. It is so reassuring that he didn’t leap in offering any unnecessary treatment - amazing. I am very happy and would recommend him and the Kent Smile studio to anyone. Thank you so much for everything.

Shaun Bradley

Beth and Viraj were brilliant. Really put me at ease and everything went quickly. I was informed the whole way through my appointment and recommend Kent Smile Studio to everyone now.
