Services
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments use advanced Zoom technology to safely remove stains and discolouration. Patients receive customised care plans to achieve brighter smiles in 4-6 weeks. The process combines in-surgery activation with home maintenance kits, ensuring long-lasting results while maintaining enamel protection.
Dental Crowns
Custom-made dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth using durable ceramic materials. The process involves precise digital impressions and shade matching to ensure natural aesthetics. Crowns protect teeth after root canal treatment or extensive decay while maintaining full functionality for chewing.
Invisalign Braces
Inman Aligners provide a discreet solution for straightening front teeth in 4-6 months. These removable appliances correct mild to moderate crowding without traditional metal brackets. Patients appreciate the comfort and aesthetic benefits compared to conventional orthodontic treatments.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency appointments address toothaches, broken fillings, and dental trauma. Our team provides immediate pain relief through temporary restorations or dressings, followed by comprehensive treatment planning. Emergency services operate Monday-Friday during standard business hours.
Children's Dentistry
Specialised care for young patients includes preventive check-ups, fluoride applications, and dietary advice. Our approach focuses on creating positive dental experiences through play-based education and gentle examinations, helping children develop lifelong oral hygiene habits without fear.

My experience with this dentist was terrible. They are rude and won't answer my calls. I do not recommend this dentist.

Not usually one for negative reviews, but this is a scam of a dental practice. It is clear from their processes and policies they see this as profit maximisation and don't care about patients. First time a few years back, they had a fault with their chair so had to rebook my filling, meaning I had to take two days off. I totally understand this, as it happens. Did not make a fuss. But should have seen the red flags in the way the didn't seem to care or even apologise.
Gave them another chance recently, specifically asking for a NHS dental check up. Was booked in gladly with no issue and no questions

I had previously written a review as I was asked to, by the practice, after a few appointments and I wrote that this dental practice was good. I cant seem to edit my review, so I am now writing a new one. I dont usually write a review but I felt compelled to, as people should be warned. My dentist when I first joined was very good but walked out on this practice very suddenly. Since then I was seen by the owner and after a couple of appointments with her, I have since left this dental practice and warn anyone to not register here. You will be asked to make regular 3 month hygienist appointments

I have been using White Star for many years and I can honestly say that I have never had any problems at all.
Dr.Joshi is very experienced and knowledgeable in all dental matters & I would never consider going anywhere else. The hygienists are very thorough and, all in all, I no longer dread a visit to the dentist! Keep up the good work Dr.J!
