Services
We deliver dental check-ups and cleans that are thorough, considerate, and prevention focused. Each visit includes a detailed examination, professional cleaning, and clear explanations of what we observe. Our team works gently to ensure comfort throughout the appointment. Regular hygiene visits help protect enamel, support healthy gums, and maintain confidence in your dental care. 
Childrens dental visits should feel manageable and supportive, not rushed or overwhelming. We tailor each appointment to your childs age and comfort level, taking time to explain and reassure along the way. This considered approach helps children build confidence with dental care while allowing parents to feel informed and supported throughout the process. 
Dental tooth fillings form an important part of our commitment to preventative and conservative care. Treating early signs of decay can stabilise the tooth and reduce future risks. We assess each situation carefully, explain the findings in plain terms, and recommend treatment only when genuinely required. Comfort and long-term outcomes guide our approach. 
Our practice focuses on the careful treatment of gum disease at all stages, with an emphasis on early detection and realistic outcomes. Gum disease is common and frequently progresses without discomfort. We provide clear guidance, conservative treatment options, and ongoing support designed to stabilise gum health and reduce the risk of further progression. 
We deliver implant-based tooth replacement designed to provide stability, durability, and a natural appearance. Careful planning and minimally invasive techniques allow implants to integrate effectively with the jawbone. Our goal is to restore oral function while supporting long-term dental health, comfort, and confidence through expertly managed treatment. 
We provide dental crowns and bridges to restore strength, function and appearance to damaged or missing teeth. With decades of clinical experience, we carefully assess each case to determine the most appropriate restorative solution. Our crowns and bridges are custom made to support long-term oral health while delivering natural-looking results. Ongoing care is provided to protect your restored smile. 
Our Full Mouth Restoration service delivers a stable and functional outcome for patients missing multiple teeth. The treatment involves restoring a full upper or lower arch supported by four or more implants. Surgical intervention is kept to a minimum by using existing bone structures. Temporary fixed teeth are typically placed straight after implant surgery for uninterrupted function. 
We provide personalised smile makeover treatments designed to restore confidence and enhance overall appearance. Our approach combines carefully selected cosmetic procedures to address concerns such as discolouration, gaps, misalignment, or damaged teeth. Using advanced techniques and quality materials, we focus on creating a smile that is both attractive and functional. Every treatment plan is tailored to individual goals.

Viki Karassellos has been my dentist for many years.. she also treated my 93 year old mother with care and patience. She has a quiet but confident manner - you know youre in good hands. And indeed you are!
Professional, calm and exudes a warmth that makes you feel like shes been a friend forever!
So three years later I can still recommend Viki for all the reasons I previously wrote about.
Her new business Honest Tooth is wonderful and just what you would expect!

Viki, our Dentist, was fantastic! Communicative about what she was doing and what she found as she went along, rather than waiting for a big summary at the end, she could actively show me where to improve my teeth care. She also gave me an insight to longer term care but no immediate work beyond regular check ups. It really did feel honest.

I definitely recommend Viki and her team at Honest Dental Care.
My current dentist for over 25 years suddenly retired on us, causing me a little stress trying to find someone appropriate.
(Visiting a dentist isn't the most pleasurable thing to do)
I am Extremely happy to find Viki, she is professional, extremely thorough and very friendly.
Made me feel comfortable straight away, explained every single procedure clearly and gave me really good advice.
Now I know why they have these amazing 5-star reviews, I'm so pleased to find my new dentist moving forward.
Thank you Viki & team for your wonderful service.

After a tooth emergency, I was looked after both Diana and Viki on separate occassions. Like most, I'm usually not excited about a trip to the dentist, but after being looked after by the team at Honest Tooth, I feel much more comfortable with the idea. They did a fantastic job, and my teeth feel a lot better. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone!

I saw honest tooth dental had great Google reviews and decided to book in for an appointment after visiting a couple of other dentists (with extortionate prices). Really glad I had my fillings done by Viki, was really reasonably priced and such amazing service from Viki and Juan. Really comfortable whilst getting procedure done and no pain at all. Highly recommend!!

: Nestled amidst the cacophony of urban life, one discovers a haven of impeccable dental artistry The Honest Tooth Practice. Here, professionalism and warmth intertwine, creating an atmosphere as soothing as a well-placed crown. Dr. Vicky, our longtime oral confidante, possesses not only a wealth of knowledge but a gentle touch that rivals the caress of a cashmere scarf.

Honest Tooth Dental were excellent. Explaining my options, advising and allowing me to choose my own treatment without judgement. Dr Viki was engaging and very pleasant. Juan on the front desk, and the assistants were cheerful and helpful. After my great experience, my partner booked her check up there as well. Highly recommend.

Viki was not only great at making me feel comfortable (despite my paralysing shame for having waited so long), but did a truly amazing job with my deep cleaning. I'm actually not embarrassed to smile for the first time in years. I still have a bit of work to do, but she has already worked miracles. Juan, the receptionist, is also very welcoming and is representative of the ethos of this practice.
It may sound sttange to say this of a dental clinic, but this place is special. Highly, highly recommended.

I have known Dr. Viki for a long time, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional professional. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need. Not only is she skilled and knowledgeable, but she also genuinely cares about her patients' well-being.
Also, the new clinic where Dr. Viki practices is fantastic. It offers a comfortable environment and is easily accessible, making it convenient for patients to reach.

Had a bit of emergency and saw the dentist the same day. They were fantastic and so patient and understanding as I am a very anxious patient especially around needles. They took the time to put me at ease as well as explain everything and go through the treatment, cost etc before we begun. Highly recommended. Thank you!

The team here fixed my teeth which were in poor shape after I had been avoiding the dentist for many years due to needle anxiety. The procedures included a tooth extraction, bone graft, implant, cavities and cleaning. Dr Diana Arcila did most of the work apart from a couple of cavities which Carlos did initially. All procedures were completed with zero issues and the team always makes sure to check in with you the following day after any major work, which is a welcome and thoughtful service.
I couldnt be happier with the work that Diana has done, she is excellent at making you feel comfortable and is very gentle with the local anaesthesia; its safe to say that she has successfully helped me get over my fear of dentists.
I look forward to keeping my teeth healthy with the help of Dr Diana for many years to come.
Thank you for keeping me smiling.
