From a first examination to a same-day emergency — the same small team, at the same address.
A principal dentist, an associate dentist and a dental hygienist who look after your whole mouth — examinations, gum care, urgent problems and honest cosmetic advice — at 12 Wimpole Mews, Marylebone, London W1P 0PC.
Every new patient starts with a full examination — each tooth, each existing filling and crown, the health of the gums, and a soft-tissue check that includes a mouth-cancer screen — before anything is recommended. Where treatment is optional, we say so; where a tooth is best left alone, we say that too. Nothing is sold in the chair.
Meet the dentists →Four common starting points — the same careful team at the end of each.
A thorough first look — teeth, gums, and a mouth-cancer screen.

Learn moreA great deal of dental trouble comes from small things left too long — a check-up postponed, a chipped filling ignored, gums that bleed a little more each year. Solura Dental is built around catching those things early, in appointments long enough to do the job properly.
The same small team looks after you throughout. Your examination, your hygiene visits and any treatment that follows are planned together, so nothing is repeated and nothing falls between appointments.
When something genuinely needs a specialist — complex oral surgery, implants, orthodontics — we say so plainly and refer you to the right colleague, with your notes and X-rays sent ahead. What Solura Dental provides is the assessment, the routine and urgent care, and an honest account of your options.
Routine, urgent and cosmetic dentistry handled by one small team — you are not passed around, and you are never sold treatment you do not need.
Where a case calls for a specialist — complex oral surgery, implants or orthodontics — we refer you to the right colleague and say why. Your routine care stays with us.
A new patient examination here is long enough to examine every tooth, chart your gums and screen the soft tissues of the mouth — and long enough to explain what we found in plain English before you leave, with written costs for anything we recommend.
A broken tooth, severe pain or a knocked-out tooth does not join a waiting list. Call when it happens and we will see you the same day, during opening hours — Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm.
A small, settled team — the people who examine you are the people who treat you.
Principal Dentist
Dr Whitmore (BDS) leads the practice. Her particular care is preventive dentistry — finding and treating problems while they are still small — and she carries out the practice's new patient examinations, restorative work and cosmetic consultations.
Associate Dentist
Dr Okafor (BDS) has a special interest in nervous patients. He works slowly, explains everything before it happens, and many of his patients had not seen a dentist for years before their first appointment with him. He shares the routine and emergency work of the practice.
Dental Hygienist
Priya leads the hygiene and gum care side of the practice — scaling, polishing, and the practical teaching that keeps gum disease from coming back. She sees patients alongside their check-ups and for standalone hygiene visits.
The three clinicians are supported by our reception and dental-nursing team, who look after appointments, records and the practical side of every visit — and who will usually be the first voice you hear when you call.
Short, practical guides from the practice — what to do in an emergency, what really needs treating, and what can safely wait.
Six months is a habit, not a rule. How check-up intervals are actually decided — and who genuinely needs to be seen more, or less, often.
A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved — if the next hour goes well. What to do, in order, and what not to do.
Tooth whitening works — when the right product is used on the right mouth. What is legal in the UK, what actually happens, and where the risks are.
Solura Dental takes referrals from medical and dental colleagues for examination, hygiene and gum care, and urgent dental problems. Your patient is seen promptly and a written summary is returned to you.
We also welcome patients back for ongoing routine care after specialist treatment elsewhere. If you are unsure whether a case is right for us — or is better placed directly with a specialist — call the practice and ask to speak to one of the dentists.
To discuss a referral, please contact the practice.
Straightforward, and self-pay by default.
Book directly — no referral is needed. Fees are confirmed when you enquire, and in writing before any treatment.
If you hold dental insurance or a cash plan, we provide the receipts and paperwork you need to claim back what your plan covers.
