Smile Hub

Smile Hub, private dentistry in the City of London

Smile Hub is a private dental clinic that has been operating in London since 2001. Its work focuses on prevention, restorative treatment and dental and facial aesthetics, with two identified locations: the Spitalfields clinic and the Linklaters clinic. The company presents itself as a centre rated 4.9 stars and five stars in patient reviews.

The clinic treats patients of all ages and offers both general dentistry and aesthetic specialities. Its team consists of dentists Catherine Freestone, Kushal Mehta, Hena Malkan and Sarah Holmes.

Prevention and oral health

Smile Hub emphasises prevention through its Total Oral Health Screen programme, an examination that reviews more than twenty areas of oral health, including oral cancer screening. New patients receive two screening x-rays free of charge at their first appointment, a service the clinic values at £36.

Dental hygiene is carried out with GBT certification. The clinic also offers new patient examinations, which include two diagnostic x-rays and an oral health scan, at an indicated price of £99.

Restorative and emergency treatments

The restorative area covers dental crowns, fillings, inlays and onlays, splints and mouth guards, and amalgam filling removal. Root canal treatments and composite bonding are also performed. The clinic handles dental emergencies and offers same-day appointments for cases such as a lost filling.

Invisalign and invisible orthodontics

Smile Hub presents itself as one of the Diamond status Invisalign providers in Europe, and as one of the few dentists in the City of London to have reached that level. The team treats cases of crowding from simple to complex. The principal, Cath Freestone, has more than 23 years of experience in dentistry and has obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Aligner Therapy, being one of the first clinics to graduate with this qualification focused on the planning and provision of Invisalign treatments.

The clinic also offers Invisalign Virtual Care and case studies, and has announced an Invisalign open day on 21 and 22 October with an indicated saving of £1,695, subject to limited availability.

Dental and facial aesthetics

In the aesthetic field, Smile Hub performs teeth whitening in several modalities: advanced, home, in-office, intermediate and for non-vital teeth. It also offers facial rejuvenation with treatments such as microneedling with SkinPen, lines and wrinkles treatment, mesotherapy, skin booster and skincare packages with ZO Skincare products.

Access, finance and membership

The clinic allows online appointment booking up to a year in advance and offers free consultations with no deposit. It has 0% interest finance options. The Smile Hub Club is a membership programme that includes a Total Oral Health Screen examination valued at £95, two dental hygiene appointments per year and an emergency consultation, with priority access to appointments and exclusive member discounts. It also offers corporate memberships.

The Spitalfields location is a five-minute walk from Liverpool Street station.
