There may be a variety of reasons why you’re looking for dentistry right now in your busy life. You may be unhappy with your smile, have missing teeth or problematic dentures.
But in that past you may have had a bad experience at the dentist, or know others that were not happy with the dentistry they had received.
That’s a thing of the past here at Bank View Smile Studios in Blackburn. Let me explain…
You see, we go to great lengths to provide Calm & Gentle Dentistry. That is our purpose. That is what we get up for each and every morning. That is our mission.
Also, there are very few dental practices with such a wealth of collective experience. Bank View Smile Studios in Blackburn, Lancashire is housed in a very grand, three storey Victorian building that has been a dental practice since 1906 and is situated in a scenic location opposite a lovely park near the town centre.
Truthfully, we understand that going to a dentist is often a necessary evil to a healthy mouth and now research suggesting you could be at risk to coronary disease, strokes and other complications if your mouth is not in tip top condition. It makes sense doesn’t it?
Your mouth is your gateway to your whole body. And if you do not look after the health of your gums for example, then bad bacteria will flow to other parts of your body and potentially cause side effects.
How do we make sure you get the best advice? Our patients always come first. That’s how.
Khalid Masters extracted a broken wisdom tooth for me, which has been hurting for some time. I automatically assumed I would need to see a surgeon at the hospital. However, I was astonished to find that Khalid could do this in house and moreover he could do it straight away, which was met with astonishment and relief in equal measure. What is more, the whole process was completed painlessly and within minutes. I was truly grateful and so far the healing process seems to be on track.
Khalid took the opportunity to thoroughly give my teeth and mouth a once over last year as a new patient. He gave me a treatment programme which clearly highlighted the urgent items to be sorted. Part of the treatment plan was to use the considerable skills of his in house dental hygienist but before I could have an appointment with her, Khalid gave me a lesson in how to clean my teeth. Now, I could have felt affronted but I quickly realised that in the past 72 years not a single dental professional had actually given me approved and effective instructions on teeth cleaning, and more importantly the spaces in between.
After 12 months of adopting this regime, I was delighted to find from Khalid that I now have good mouth hygiene and all of my previous problems have been brought into my own control. I wish I had known this information sooner and I definitely wish I had met (someone like) Khalid sooner too. But as they say, better late than never!
Enjoy our relaxed atmosphere using our first names and we are obsessive about making your visit a pleasant experience. Many of our new patients come through recommendations. And we hope you too will also feel confident in referring us to your friends.
Paid a visit for the first time and was seen to by Thomas for a check up, followed by a treatment with Lynn. Both were fantastic and really took their time and provided great advice. The practice and staff were welcoming. Overall a very pleasant experience.
An excellent Dentist’s with standards which are second to none. Khalid isn’t just a good Dentist, he will talk to you like hes your long lost brother you havn’t seen for ages. Basically he’s the type of Person you can always approach with any issues.
The best dentist in Lancashire by far and the first Dentist I’ve been to where I don’t feel terrified whenever I go for an appointment! Easy to talk to all the staff there, flexible with timings and appointments, treatment is top notch. Calm, relaxing environment.
We are delighted to announce that Bank View Smile Studio was recognised at the Private Dentistry awards for our Giving Back. Wherever we can we like to get involved in the local community supporting numerous good causes throughout the year.
The team went down to the prestigious awards recently. You can check out some of our photos from the night.
The practice is owned and run by Khalid and Thomas. We bought it in 2010 from a retiring dentist. We have a loyal patient base with many 4th and even some 5th generation patients. Not ones to rest on our laurels, we have certainly built on his strong foundation and legacy, taking the practice to the next level.
Our aim is quite simple. To provide ultra-modern, “TEETH FOR LIFE” and healthy gums for life too, supported by 6 Promises…
Our customer service is unusual to say the least!
A comprehensive inspection was carried out on 19 December 2023 under section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. Here are some of the comments made by the inspectors that we wanted to share with you-
