At Smiles Better we work closely with a full range of specialists.
Our specialists have the expertise, precision and decades of training and experience to ensure that you receive the best clinical care that is possible, and enables us to provide the full range of options that are available to you.
Patients can be referred by their own dentist for non-routine, more difficult and complex treatments.

Dr Cantwell is a registered Specialist Prosthodontist with the General Dental Council and has a private practice limited to Prosthodontics and Implant Surgery in central London.

.
Dr Cantwell has placed implants in many of our patients and those that have been referred to us from other practices. He was our visiting specialist but Dr Cantwell has now opened his own practice on Wimpole Street, London

All of our patients have been overwhelmed by the outstanding results of the treatment and the level of care that they experienced.

Dr Cantwell remains very popular with our patients and we still refer patients that are able and willing to travel to him as he is an experienced and skilled Implant Surgeon. 
However, for our patients that are unable to travel or just want the convenience of being treated locally then we are working with another specialist Dr Hamid Karimi (Specialist in Periodontics) who has a specialist practice in Norwich. Dr Karimi places the implants and then our resident specialist in Prosthodontics (Dr Kerry Osborne-Smith) restores them at Smiles Better Dental Care.
