Behind Every Smile: Meet the Team Transforming Dentistry at Islington Smiles
When you walk into Islington Smiles, it doesn’t feel like a typical dental clinic. The welcoming atmosphere, the friendly faces at reception, and the calm confidence of the clinical team all reflect a simple belief: dentistry should be as much about people as it is about teeth.
At the heart of the practice is Dr Marisa Monteiro, a highly skilled cosmetic dentist and proud owner of Islington Smiles. Together with her talented team, she’s built a practice that blends advanced dentistry with genuine care, helping patients achieve smiles that look good, feel good, and last for life.
The Philosophy: Patient First Dentistry
Dr Monteiro’s vision for Islington Smiles was clear from the start: to create a space where patients feel listened to, supported, and cared for at every stage. Dentistry isn’t just about fillings and crowns; it’s about restoring confidence, function, and wellbeing.
This approach means:
- Taking the time to understand each patient’s goals
- Offering personalised treatment plans
- Using the latest technology for precision and comfort
- Creating natural-looking, long-lasting results
It’s why so many patients across Islington choose the clinic not just for routine check-ups but for life-changing smile makeovers.
Meet Dr Marisa Monteiro: Cosmetic Dentist and Invisalign Expert
Dr Monteiro is best known as a Diamond Apex Invisalign provider, a recognition that places her among the top Invisalign dentists worldwide. Patients seeking discreet teeth straightening come from across London to benefit from her experience and artistry.
But her skills go beyond orthodontics. She has extensive expertise in veneers, composite bonding, and teeth whitening, allowing her to design smile transformations that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Her philosophy is simple: every smile should look natural. That’s why she focuses on fine details, tooth shape, symmetry, colour, ensuring that results never look artificial.
The Wider Team: Expertise Meets Compassion
While Dr Monteiro leads the practice, the success of Islington Smiles is a true team effort.
- Associate Dentists bring specialist expertise in dental implants, crowns, and restorative dentistry, helping patients regain function and confidence after tooth loss.
- Hygienists provide essential preventive care, focusing on gum health and professional cleaning to keep smiles healthy long-term.
- Dental Nurses and Support Staff ensure every appointment runs smoothly, while also providing the reassuring presence that makes patients feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.
This collaborative approach allows the clinic to offer a full range of treatments under one roof, from general dentistry to advanced cosmetic and restorative care.
Why Patients Choose Islington Smiles
Patients often comment on how different their experience feels compared to other dental clinics. That difference comes down to three things:
1. Advanced Technology
From 3D digital scans used in Invisalign treatment to the precision tools used for bonding and veneers, the clinic invests in technology that makes dentistry more accurate and more comfortable.
2. Personalised Care
No two smiles are the same, and no two treatment plans are either. Whether it’s a subtle touch-up with bonding or a full smile makeover, treatments are always tailored to the individual.
3. A Welcoming Environment
Many people feel nervous about visiting the dentist. At Islington Smiles, the team takes pride in creating a calm, reassuring atmosphere where patients feel at ease.
Treatments That Transform
The expertise of the team means patients can access a wide variety of treatments, including:
This holistic approach ensures patients not only achieve the smile they want but also maintain it for years to come.
What Patients Say
Many patients describe their journey at Islington Smiles as “life changing.” From professionals who finally feel confident giving presentations to brides and grooms who wanted to shine on their wedding day, the stories are as diverse as the smiles themselves.
A common theme? The warmth, skill, and attentiveness of Dr Monteiro and her team.
Investing in Your Smile
A smile makeover is more than just a cosmetic upgrade, it’s an investment in confidence, wellbeing, and self-expression. As the Oral Health Foundation notes, oral health plays a key role in overall wellbeing, linking directly to self-esteem and even wider health conditions.
At Islington Smiles, patients aren’t just investing in teeth. They’re investing in themselves.
