Covent Garden Aesthetic Clinic

4.5296 Google reviews

Covent Garden Aesthetic Clinic is a cosmetic clinic specializing in Philips Zoom laser teeth whitening rather than oral surgery. It's included here because it appears in oral health search results for London, but its core service is whitening, not extractions or surgical procedures. If you need a wisdom tooth removed or jaw surgery, look to the other names on this page instead.

What people praise

  • Whitening results described as noticeably brighter within a single 45-minute session
  • Staff and dentist praised for explaining the process clearly

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described a serious safety incident on the premises involving a stairwell near the toilet
  • Not an oral surgery provider despite appearing in this category

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many patients actually rated the practice, ranked against others on the page. Confidence blends the rating with that volume, since a perfect score from a small sample counts for less than one built on hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does oral surgery cost in London? (2026)

Oral surgery costs in London vary widely depending on the procedure, from a straightforward wisdom tooth extraction to a full TMJ joint replacement, and pricing depends on complexity, anesthesia, and whether it’s done privately or through the NHS. We don’t have a verified, current price list for these specific practices, so always confirm exact costs and payment options directly with the practice, and treat any online estimate as a starting point rather than a quote.

Serving all of London

These practices cluster around central London, including Harley Street, Pall Mall, Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, and Queen Anne Street near Marylebone. If you’re searching for an oral surgeon near me in London, this stretch of the West End covers most of the specialists and dental practices offering surgical procedures.

What to ask before you book oral surgery

  • Is this practice a specialist oral surgeon or a general dentist who also does extractions?
  • What anesthesia or sedation options are available for the procedure?
  • What does recovery typically involve, and how long before normal eating resumes?
  • Is the exact cost confirmed in writing before the procedure, not just an estimate?
  • Are follow-up appointments included in the price?
  • What happens if there are complications during recovery?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge plus top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these oral surgeons?

We pulled real Google Business data for oral surgery providers and dental practices offering oral surgery in London, including rating, review volume, and recent review text, then ranked them by a transparent scorecard.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026. We periodically refresh ratings and review counts to keep the rankings current.

Is Covent Garden Aesthetic Clinic an oral surgeon?

No. It’s a cosmetic clinic specializing in teeth whitening. It appears in this search category, but if you need a surgical procedure like a wisdom tooth extraction or TMJ surgery, choose one of the other practices on this page.

What’s the difference between a general dentist and an oral surgeon for wisdom teeth?

Many general dental practices, like Pall Mall Dental and Forest & Ray, perform routine wisdom teeth extractions. A specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon, like Dr. Karim Hussain, typically handles more complex cases, impacted teeth, or procedures requiring hospital facilities.

The bottom line

For straightforward wisdom teeth removal, Dr. Karim Hussain’s perfect review record makes him the clearest choice. For jaw joint problems specifically, TMJ London is the specialist practice built for that. Skip Covent Garden Aesthetic Clinic for surgical needs; it’s a whitening clinic, not an oral surgeon, despite showing up in this search.
