Shirland Dental Practice was founded by Dr Hamssa Mansour on a belief that seems simple and turns out to be rare: that visiting the dentist should be an enjoyable experience, free of fear or anxiety.

It is a small team at Shirland, which means every time you visit you are greeted by a familiar, friendly face who remembers you, your family and how you take your dentistry. Both of our receptionists speak fluent English and Arabic. Our nurses are fully qualified and highly experienced. And everyone here genuinely cares about the people who walk through the door, which is why so many of our patients arrive as nervous first-timers and stay for decades.
Behind the front desk is a level of clinical skill that most high-street practices send elsewhere. Dr Mansour holds two Master’s degrees, including Special Care Dentistry from UCL Eastman, and is certified by the Dental Phobia Foundation. Mr Alaa Aldaadaa, our consultant oral surgeon, holds a PhD in bone regeneration and a post at King’s College Hospital, and places every implant here in person. Dr Zahra Seraj brings a Master’s in Regenerative Dentistry from King’s to our facial aesthetics. We invest continually in technology, from iTero 3D scanning to digital x-rays, and in the training to use it well.
Good dentistry should not be a luxury. Every fee is published on this website, every treatment plan is itemised in writing before it begins, and we offer patient payment plans and 0% finance so you can spread the cost. If something does not need doing, we will tell you.
We are open seven days a week, until 8pm on weekdays, because we know that most people cannot take a morning off for a check-up. Emergencies are seen the same day, including at weekends.




We explain every option and every cost, then you decide. There is no upselling and no pressure, ever.
Longer appointments, an agreed stop signal, and clinicians trained in care for anxious patients.
Complex surgery is done by a specialist, straightening by an experienced Invisalign provider, and hygiene by therapists who love it.
Dr Mansour volunteers every year at a special needs school in Baghdad, and the practice supports local West London charities.

I have a phobia of dentists having not gone for 33 years. Dr Mansour really put my mind at rest and gave good advice. Amazingly my teeth are in good shape. I’m not really into writing reviews and this is my first one on Google, but I highly recommend Shirland Dental Practice.
Dr Mansour has a wonderful chair-side manner and is always reassuring and considerate. As someone who dreaded visiting the dentist for years, I can recommend her to any of my fellow dental-phobics. She does excellent work but it’s her professionalism and warmth that sets her apart.
Honestly the best dental practice I have ever been to. Everyone was so friendly and talked me through the procedures and my x-rays. I would be happy to go back weekly if that wasn’t so weird (and thankfully not necessary).
Open at weekends! The staff and location are fantastic. The most impressive dental service in the area.
An honest and caring dentist! A welcome change from my previous experience. Everything was explained clearly before work was done and the cost was outlined also. I would recommend anyone come here as they are very friendly. Thank you Hamssa!
Dr Mansour is excellent, friendly, caring and highly professional. Easily the best dentist I have ever been to. Highly recommended.
