Paddington Dental Practice

What Paddington Dental Practice does

Paddington Dental Practice is a privately-owned, single-location mixed NHS and private dental practice operating from 17 Craven Road in Paddington, London (W2 3BP). Founded in 1988 and led by Principals Satbir S. Golar and Yasmin Golar, the practice runs five surgeries out of a ground-floor accessible facility and is staffed by a small team of approximately five employees, supplemented by associate dentists with credentials from Guy's Hospital and other UK dental schools. It serves a long-tail consumer patient base drawn from the immediate Paddington catchment and wider London, with publicly disclosed per-procedure pricing for both NHS Bands and private treatments.

The service portfolio spans general dentistry (fillings, extractions, root canal, crowns, dentures), preventive care (check-ups, hygiene, oral cancer screening), cosmetic dentistry (Opalescence take-home whitening, E-max crowns, veneers, white fillings, PerfectSmileAligner clear braces), dental implants (from £2,500 with free consultation), and facial aesthetics (Botox, dermal fillers, skinboosters). Clinical technology is digital-first relative to a small practice: digital radiography for low-radiation diagnostics, digital scanning and 3D printing for in-house aligner fabrication, plus all-ceramic E-max and Zirconia restorative materials. Practice management is enabled by the Zesty online booking platform and patient feedback is captured via the NHS Friends and Family Test survey.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining NHS Band fees (price-capped, recurring patient base), fee-for-service private treatments (one-off payments per procedure), Denplan monthly subscription plans for ongoing care, and per-area/per-ml pricing on facial aesthetics. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no intermediaries: patients book via phone, walk-in, the Zesty self-serve platform, or after discovering the practice through its website and Facebook/Instagram channels. The practice holds no parent company, has no external funding, and reports no patents, partnerships, or regulatory actions in the input data.
