General Dentists near Blackfriars (EC4)
Here at Mint Dental, if there’s one we understand, often better than most, is that a perfect smile is not just about how it looks but how it makes you feel.
As a clinic that often combines general, restorative treatments with cosmetic procedures, we’re the dentists who craft beautiful, healthy smiles that glow for years.
By ensuring good oral dentition first, we can help ensure that your smile remains fuller, brighter and cleaner for years to come so you can eat, speak and continue to live without any limits.

So, if you live in Southwark or the neighbouring boroughs, we do not doubt that we’re the dentists for you. We offer same-day appointments.

EXCELLENT Based on 585 reviews Posted on Maria ThanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Mint Dental Clinic after searching for various dental clinics offering sedation and I had an incredible experience thanks to the entire team!! I am terrified of the dentist with a phobia of needles, and I avoid going for check-ups to the point where I developed a huge amount of cavities. After my teeth were analysed by Dr Patel's team, they identified that some of them needed urgent fillings. As sedation is expensive, the team was helpful and patient in helping me figure out the right financial plan to tackle everything before my teeth worsened, including adding extra teeth cleaning for free! I had IV sedation twice for two rounds of fillings across a month, and each time I was put at ease despite coming in the clinic with intense anxiety. I cried as I sat in the chair with the IV in my arm due to my fear of needles. They were kind and patient, and the nurses / sedationists helped calm down my breathing despite the panic. I was terrified of being 'awake' but not being able to communicate or breathe. The team was very reassuring in those fears and I had a lovely experience where I remained conscious but with amnesia, so I had 0 trauma afterwards since you have no memory of anything! The team made me feel heard and supported without being judged. They made sure my chaperone knew everything before bringing me home, and all of my teeth are healthy without any complications post-appointment. I am now ready for routine work without the intense fear of dentistry and feel much more ready to start any dental work WITHOUT sedation in the very near future!Posted on AndreaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team at Mint, starting from the moment you walk through the door (or call up) are focused on providing excellent care. Great reception team and Orman especially, always goes that extra mile. My dentists (Dr Mehdi and Dr Alves) are very personable, thorough and ensured everything was explained clearly, and only proceeded once I'd understood and was content. Whilst in the chair, both dentists were checking in making sure I was doing ok throughout it all. Then at the end, checked I was happy and offered an open-door to return, for some tweaks if necessary. I am very happy with the results. I always feel completely at ease for my visits, so much so that I look forward to them. Highly recommend! >Posted on Adeoye OmowumiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m always impressed with the level of care at Mint Dental Clinic. They focus not just on treatment but also on prevention, helping you avoid future dental issues. The dentist is fantastic, and front of house is friendly, welcoming approach adds to the great experience.Posted on Gloria FreifeldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mint Dental Clinic consistently delivers professional, high-quality care. Dr. Patel is exceptional—thorough, gentle, and genuinely attentive. Elizabeth at the front desk always welcomes you with a warm smile, making every visit feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.Posted on Halil EsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an outstanding experience at this clinic. Dr. Raj Patel delivers exceptional quality work and somehow makes every treatment feel completely painless. It’s amazing having all types of dental care under one roof, and the whole team really focuses on prevention rather than quick fixes. After completing my treatment, I now have a healthy, confident smile that still looks natural. The hygienists are fantastic, and every member of the team is warm, professional, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing. If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t the place for you—but if you want thorough, honest, high-quality dentistry, I can’t recommend this clinic enough.Posted on Tahsin ChowdhuryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an excellent experience at this dental practice. My hygienist Peter is absolutely brilliant, thorough and incredibly skilled at what he does. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes each visit comfortable. A big shout-out as well to Arman at reception. He’s always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole process from booking to check-in smooth and stress-free. Overall, a fantastic team and a dentist I truly trust. Highly recommend!Posted on Rizwan LimbadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I inquired about Invisalign's earlier this year at this clinic, as I was quite self conscious of my teeth. I had a very insightful conversation with Arman who gave me a thorough explanation regarding the process, treatment, what to expect results wise, and the cost. This then led me to begin my Invisalign journey, and from start to finish it has truly been seamless, immensely effective, and so beneficial. Dr Sharma did an exceptional job throughout, and helped in understanding the developments to expect, how it occurs, and overall making my experience extremely easy and efficient. The service was immaculate from the receptionists, Dr Sharma and his assistant dentist. Also as of recent, I’ve been getting hygiene checkups by Danica and I must say she has been amazing. She explained the anatomy of my teeth and gums in detail, and made me understand much more about dental hygiene and its cruciality. Overall I have no complaints whatsoever, and will 100% refer this clinic to friends and family, as they produce and prioritise high-quality work and service. Extra shout out to Arman as he’s been extremely helpful, and looked after me very well.Posted on Yassim JamaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this dentist. Dr Patel is an exceptional professional, and my family and I have been attending for many years. Since we moved to the Clinic, even my son, who never liked going to the dentist, now looks forward to his visits. The dental hygienist is also excellent. The reception team provide consistently high service, always polite, welcoming and professional.
