👉🏼 5 ⭐️ Google What began as late-night study sessions and caffeine-fuelled exam preps evolved into a lifelong partnership rooted in trust, shared vision, and a passion for pure excellence. My gift in life was my business partner, my angel Dr Amin Rabie. After years of gaining experience and refining our craft, Dr Amin and I decided to build a practice where we could do dentistry differently—focused on quality, care, and connection. We found our home on England’s Lane in Primrose Hill, September 2003, and opened Smile Solutions with one mission: to treat every patient the way we’d treat our own family. Over the years, our clinic has grown into a multidisciplinary hub of excellence, with a talented team of associates and support staff who share our ethos and elevate our work every day. Together, we’ve expanded into advanced cosmetic, restorative, and facial aesthetic care. The journey has been one of joy and our luck in life has been our wonderful team who make all our dreams possible. We are humbled by the continued trust and loyalty of our patients—many of whom travel from around the world to see us. Your support, referrals, and kind words fuel everything we do. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Beeta

Privilege of Practice Owner 💚

Today one of our patients kindly shared her experience at the practice, and it truly touched me.

As a practice owner and a mother of two, I know how hard it can be to attend appointments when you have children. That quiet worry of whether they will be seen as a distraction, or whether it is simply easier to cancel altogether.

At our practice, children are always welcome. Truly welcome. WE LOVE THEM!

Most of our team are parents, or have cared for younger siblings, so we understand. Sometimes you do not want to be separated from your child. Sometimes you just need one hour where they can stay close, feel safe, and be included.

We see it as a privilege when a patient trusts us not only with their teeth, but with the most precious part of their life, their child. That trust humbles us.

Watching children explore the practice, laugh, role play, and slowly feel comfortable in the dental environment is one of the quiet joys of what we do. They begin to see us not as strangers, but as familiar faces. A place that feels safe. Even fun.

After more than twenty three years later as a practice owner, seeing patients grow through life, relationships, and into parenthood themselves is an honour I never take for granted.

It is a privilege. Always. 💚

Axial Scans 🩻🦷🙅‍♂️

This single axial scan says more than most people realise. It shows the dental arches, tongue, soft palate, surrounding muscles and the upper airway all in one frame. Teeth are not isolated structures. They sit within a dynamic system that breathes, swallows, supports posture and regulates sleep.

When we look at images like this, we are not just assessing teeth. We are thinking about airway space, tongue position, palatal width and jaw relationships. These factors influence how someone breathes at night, how well they sleep, whether they clench or grind, and even how their teeth wear or fail over time.

This is why modern dentistry has moved far beyond fillings and crowns alone. Diagnosis today is about understanding structure and function together. If the airway is compromised or the tongue has nowhere to rest, the mouth often shows the earliest signs of strain.

Dentistry done well respects the whole picture. Teeth make sense only when we understand the space around them.

Behind the scenes 🎥🎬👧🏻🧒🏼👦🏽

The effort that goes on behind the scenes to film any kind of content is immense, and when children are involved it deserves real recognition.

It is always a full team effort. Making sure timings work, everyone feels comfortable, and most importantly that the children are happy and engaged. In the moment it can feel intense. Sometimes even one of the most challenging things we do. Yet that care is essential.

We are lucky to work with wonderful children, but they are still children. Their happiness comes first. We aim to make every session interactive, light, and genuinely fun, so they leave with positive memories. Not only of the dentist, but of the whole experience.

Looking back at the footage, the best moments are often the unplanned ones. The repeats, the giggles, the unpredictability. Those are the moments worth sharing. This is a small glimpse behind the scenes of what really goes on.

These are the memories that stay with us throughout our careers. All in the name of education, trust, and caring for our patients, giving them value.

With Tara
Palatal expanders ⬅️👅➡️ Key Activation 🗝️

We typically fit palatal expanders in children while the upper jaw is still growing, most commonly between 7 to 12 years of age. At this stage the mid palatal suture has not yet fused, which means the upper jaw can be gently guided to widen in a safe and controlled way. Timing matters. Too early and it is unnecessary. Too late and the bone becomes far more resistant.

So why use them?
The purpose of a palatal expander is to widen a narrow upper jaw. This creates space for adult teeth to erupt properly, improves bite relationships, can reduce crowding, and in many cases helps with breathing by increasing nasal airway volume. It is not cosmetic. It is functional growth guidance supported by decades of orthodontic evidence.

How long is the procedure?
The active expansion phase usually lasts two to four weeks, depending on how much widening is needed. After that, the appliance stays in place for several months to allow new bone to stabilise and mature. Expansion without retention is relapse waiting to happen.

Now the part that really matters: Parental cooperation!
The expander is activated using a small key with a pointed end that fits into a tiny hole in the appliance. This is not something children should be doing alone. The movement needs to be precise, controlled, and done exactly as instructed by the orthodontist. Too little turning and treatment stalls. Too much or incorrect turning and discomfort or complications can occur.

Parents are essential here, to guide the key ensuring the turns are done on the correct days at the correct amount.

When everyone plays their role properly, palatal expansion is one of the most powerful and rewarding early orthodontic interventions we have and allows us to utilise and manipulate growth to create changes.

Ozempic Truths 💊⚖️

This is no longer theoretical. We are seeing these changes daily chair side. Patients feel well and are often delighted with their weight loss, yet the mouth is quietly telling a different story through early enamel wear, new sensitivity, and changes that were not present months ago.

Reduced saliva is one of the most consistent findings. The mouth appears drier, saliva thicker and less protective. Peer reviewed research shows that reduced salivary flow significantly increases caries risk and accelerates enamel demineralisation. Clinically this shows up as decay in patients who historically never needed fillings.

Acid erosion patterns are also becoming more common. Smooth enamel loss on inner tooth surfaces is something we now spot early during routine examinations. Scientific literature links delayed gastric emptying with increased acid exposure, even in patients who do not report classic reflux symptoms.

Dietary behaviour plays a quiet but powerful role. Frequent sipping of protein drinks, supplements, and flavoured waters creates repeated acid attacks. Studies consistently show that frequency of exposure causes more enamel damage than quantity. In the chair this looks like gradual thinning rather than dramatic breakdown.

This is not about criticism or blame. It is about recognising patterns early and responding intelligently. The science supports what we are seeing clinically. When the body changes, the mouth changes too, and dentistry has to stay one step ahead.

🦷 👩🏻‍⚕️Dr Sheilan Aram

Recruiting the right dentist is never simple. In fact, it is one of the most complex decisions any practice owner makes. Because it has huge implications and impact on everyone and our standards.

Interestingly, the majority of dentists who have joined our practice did not come through agencies or adverts. They came by chance. Or rather, by intention on their part.

Some of my favourite CVs arrive out of the blue when we were not looking. Thoughtfully written. Accompanied by a cover letter explaining that they have been quietly watching the practice for years. Studying the culture. The people. The standard of advanced work. The values. And expressing a genuine desire to be part of that journey.

Other times a smile brought warmth and initial likability and from that flowed conversations.

That level of self drive matters. Deeply.
Anyone can apply for a job. Very few choose a vision before a vacancy exists.

These CVs and Contacts always go into my top drawer. And when an opportunity opens, they are the first I return to. Almost without exception, those dentists go on to become integral members of the team. Not just employees, but contributors. Builders. Leaders in the making.

Proactive people carry something different. A kind of genetic wiring. Relentless self motivation. Quiet ambition. Internal standards that do not need external pressure.

You cannot teach that. You can only recognise it. And when you do, you just have to hold onto it.

New Year New You 🎉

When it comes to feeling new, the most powerful place to start is the simplest. Your mouth.

A proper hygiene session is the most minimal step, yet it delivers instant results. Clean teeth. Healthy gums. Fresh breath. Patients feel the difference immediately. There is a real psychological lift. You walk out fresher, and more confident.

It even goes deeper than that. We now clearly understand that oral hygiene is linked to systemic health. Inflammation in the mouth affects the whole body. Looking after your mouth is looking after your total health.

Then comes the cosmetic layer. The most minimal enhancement is teeth whitening. Subtle but powerful. And beyond that, advanced dentistry through restorative work and ceramics that allow us to rebuild strength, function, and beauty as and when needed.

Happy New Year🥳

We work in the field of creating health, but the truth is without health there is nothing. So my wish for you this year is simple. Health. Because with health you can conquer absolutely everything.

This is a year for gratitude. Gratitude for the changes you have already made and the courage it took to make them. Gratitude for the outcomes that followed. And trust that what you desire is already yours, as long as you are willing to work for it.

Real change comes from recognising when something is no longer right. From gathering the right people, the right tools, and the right mindset. And then taking that brave step into the unknown, knowing it is the only way to create something better.

I wish you a healthy journey into the year ahead. Surrounded by love, friendship, and people who genuinely add value to your life every single day.

Thank you for being part of ours.💚🙏

Fortnum & Mason tea 🫖🇬🇧🦷

Built on the most wonderful teas and flavours, Fortnum and Mason reminds us that pleasure and ritual go hand in hand. Tea brings comfort, warmth, antioxidants, and a moment of calm in a busy day. It truly is one of life’s small certainties.

But like all good things, timing matters. Enjoy tea at specific moments rather than sipping all day. Follow with a glass of water. Use a mild toothpaste and a soft or ultra soft toothbrush. Gentle brushing does the job beautifully and helps reduce staining.

Mindful habits. Timeless rituals and healthy smiles for life.

🪞Respecting People’s Dignity in Dentistry

Dentistry is never just about teeth. It’s about people. And the greatest form of respect we can give our patients is the quality of the work that we do for them.

Before finishing any treatment, every dentist should ask themselves three simple but powerful questions:
1️⃣ Would I be happy to have this done in my own mouth?
2️⃣ Does the work I’ve just delivered truly justify what my patient has invested, not just financially, but in trust and time?
3️⃣And most importantly, do I actually have the skill set required to perform this treatment to the highest standard?

If the answer to any of those is no, then we owe it to our patients, and to our profession, to pause, to learn, or to refer. Because dentistry without reflection is just mechanics.

The upper photo here shows what we would call disrespectful dentistry, careless, rushed, and ultimately insulting to the patient’s dignity. The lower photo represents what we call respect. The difference isn’t just aesthetic. It’s worse. It’s moral.
