Julian H ★★★★★

I contacted Optimal Dental Health following a recommendation to replace my mercury amalgam fillings. I was able to have a consultation with Dr James Goolnik within a week of my enquiry, and this resulted in a proposed course of treatment for the work. This was carried out a couple of weeks later to my complete satisfaction. ODH follows the Smart protocol for amalgam removal to minimise any toxicity effects. I was impressed by the friendliness and efficiency of the whole process. Recommended.

He is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. The rest of…

Dr Aoife took great care to make sure the fit and appearance were exactly right, and adjustments were handled patiently and thoroughly. I am…

I’m still pinching myself I have found Optimal Dental Health and Dr James Goolnik. I’ve been to many dentists, good and bad, but he is simply outstanding. I dare to say he is the best holistic dentist in London. In addition, he is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Kind, empathetic and thoughtful. If you’re becoming aware of how important the health of your mouth is and its connection to the whole body, I would recommend you see him. I’ve had issues connected to my root canal tooth which was infected so I decided to have it removed. He skilfully (and painlessly) extracted the tooth in …
