The dental practice you'll actually look forward to visiting

General dentistry shouldn't feel like a clinical conveyor belt. It shouldn't feel rushed. And it definitely shouldn't feel like guesswork. We've built our practice around the idea that everyday dentistry deserves the same care, attention and modern technology as the more complex work we do - because the small things, done consistently well, are what protect your smile for the long term.

The technology that quietly makes a difference

Most patients never see our equipment in detail. They just notice that appointments feel faster, scans don't involve goop, and diagnoses come with clear visuals on a screen. Behind that ease is a significant investment in modern dental technology.

Bindi P.

Having spent most of my lifetime in a dental practice, I was apprehensive when I needed private treatment for some dental implants to replace quite a few missing teeth. Dr Bhavnish has been nothing but amazing! He explained the process thoroughly, addressed any concerns and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The aftercare has been fabulous too. I would recommend him and his practice with my eyes closed.

Dr Anmol is very calm and reassuring… have never liked going to the dentist but don't mind going to Natural Smiles…

I can't imagine going to any other dentist after experiencing the incredible service at Natural Smiles Leicester. From the moment I step into the reception, I'm greeted with warm smiles from the reception ladies, which instantly puts me at ease and makes the whole experience relaxing. Dr. Bhavnish is hands down the best dentist I've ever met; he's attentive, gives the best advice, and provides top-notch treatment. He truly listens to his patients. I feel genuinely cared for every time I visit.

100% would recommend. I had a fear of the dentist. But the staff was wonderful and put me at ease. I can't believe my new teeth. I'm so happy.

Natural smiles is a calm and inviting place and all the staff are very endearing. I would highly recommend Natural smiles for its professionalism, care and overall satisfaction.

Thank you to Dr Anmol Bal for my Invisalign treatment. Being a person who feels so uncomfortable to smile she's made me feel confident again. As I approach the end of my Invisalign treatment, I am really happy with how the results are turning out. Thank you once again to Anmol and Natural Smiles for their fantastic service! Definitely recommend this practice to all!

Sam B.

After the first call and consultation I felt instantly reassured that I'd chosen the right place. The receptionists were really great and my dentist Dr Anmol Bal gave me confidence that I'd get the results I was after. I've now had two Porcelain Veneers fitted by Anmol and they look incredible! My teeth look completely natural as requested and the veneers feel really strong. I'd highly recommend this place.

Well it's always clean and spotless, the staff are very polite and welcoming. Dr Waghela is honest and straightforward to the point if anything needs doing. Highly recommend using Natural Smiles.

Frequently asked questions

Are you currently taking on new patients?

Yes - we welcome new patients to Natural Smiles. Your first visit will be a new patient examination, which gives us time to properly understand your dental history, goals and any concerns you'd like to discuss.

How often should I come in for a check-up?

Every six months works well for most patients. Some patients - particularly those with a history of gum disease, who smoke, or wear orthodontic appliances - may benefit from seeing us more often. We'll always recommend a frequency that suits your specific needs.

Do you only do general dentistry?

No - we're a full-service private practice offering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics and dental implants - all under one roof. Many patients start with general care and explore other treatments as part of an ongoing relationship.

Do you treat nervous patients?

Absolutely. Many of our patients have come to us after years of avoidance. Our calm environment, unhurried appointment times and treatment coordinator approach make a real difference. For more involved treatments, IV sedation is available.

Do you offer a payment plan for treatment?

Yes - finance is available through V12 for treatment over £1,000, with 0% interest over 12 months and no deposit required. Longer-term plans up to five years at 9.9% APR are also available.

Can I bring my children to Natural Smiles?

We treat older children and teenagers as part of family appointments, particularly those who may benefit from orthodontic assessments. For very young children, we'd typically recommend a dedicated paediatric dentist.
