Rating: ★★★★★I recently visited Bank View Smile Studios and had a fantastic experience with Dr. Master and Dr. Sarpong. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional.Dr. Master and Dr. Sarpong are both incredibly skilled and took the time to explain every step of my treatment clearly. They really listened to my concerns and made sure I felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find clinicians who balance high-level technical expertise with such a genuine, patient-centred approach.

I saw Dr. Khalid on short notice for an emergency root extraction after suffering a broken crown at another dentist. He (and all of the staff) was very helpful and accommodating and the procedure was done painlessly despite the difficulty involved with it. I couldn't talk immediately following the surgery and he was sure to answer any common questions I might have had, but also allowed me to type out any others. He also reassured me of what to do following any possible complications and made me feel very informed and safe. Can't recommend him more highly.

I can't thank Khalid enough for the amazing work he has done for me. He is professional, genuine and very calm. He has performed his magic with implant and bridge work. I wasn't sure about having implants, but there was no need to worry, absolutely no pain or problems. Khalid has given me my smile back! Also I would like to thank the lovely nurses at bank view and to the Lab for all their hard work.

I had a really positive experience observing Dr Khalid and the way he cares for his patients. From the moment he meets someone, he creates a warm and welcoming environment. He introduces himself clearly to new patients and greets returning patients in a friendly way, which immediately helps people feel comfortable and at ease.What stood out most to me was his communication style. He listens carefully when patients describe symptoms like pain or sensitivity and asks thoughtful follow-up questions to fully understand their concerns. After examinations, he explains diagnoses (such as gum disease) in a way that is easy to understand, avoiding complicated jargon. He uses photos, X-rays, and tooth models to clearly show what is happening, which really helps reduce fear and uncertainty.He also prioritises patient comfort and autonomy. I saw him immediately adjust the chair for an anxious patient without hesitation, simply because that’s what made them feel more comfortable. When discussing treatment options and costs, he never pressures patients. Instead, he provides clear choices and even offers payment plans where needed.It’s clear that Dr Khalid genuinely cares about his patients and values trust, empathy, and professionalism. I am grateful to Dr Khalid and the team at Bank View Smile Studios for this insightful experience. It has strengthened my motivation to study dentistry in the future.

I took my daughter to have some teeth extracted in order for braces to be fit. Khalid explained the process very well, removed the teeth with as little pain as possible and did his best to support my very anxious child. We have been going to Bank View smile studios for nearly 20 years and have always felt we have received the best care. Thank you Khalid and your team !

I haven’t been to a dentist for many many years as almost all experiences didn't end well, leading to a very real fear of getting in the chair.I booked an assessment at Bank view and after disusing a plan I even then postponed the treatment for months because I was so anxious about going.I eventually turned up and began the treatment. I had LOTS of work done, 14 different procedures and I can honestly say the entire process was pain and fear free.Thomas and his team are amazing – I could never imagine a time driving to an appointment, not even thinking what was on the horizon.Thanks a lot team – from the reception to the medics – first class and something I would hardly recommend!

I recently had the incredible oppurtunity of shadowing Dr khalid at this surgery and it has been nothing short of extraordinary.From understanding simple tooth structure to complex procedures such as dental bridges I was able to learn such a vast array of new content which has given me a far wider scope of what dentistry as a profession has to offer. The staff were exceptional in their performance too, it has truly allowed me to understand the roles and responsibilities of a dental team. I am incredibly grateful for this oppurtunity.

Dr Thomas and his assistant have been amazing from start to finish. I needed quite a bit of work doing and was very nervous about my first visit but they kept me calm and relaxed the whole time. I did not feel any pain during my fillings and even my root canal was completely painless.On my last appointment I was that relaxed I could have fallen asleep in the chair. They have genuinely helped me get over my anxiety about the dentist and I am so glad I finally decided to go. Looking back, I do not know why I put it off for so long.The receptionists are also lovely and the whole place feels really welcoming from the moment you walk in. I am truly grateful for everything they have done and I cannot thank them enough.Aidan Wood

Like many people my age, I have genuinely tried my best to look after my teeth, but I still ended up developing a serious form of gum disease. Life doesn’t seem fair!I regularly attended the dentist and constantly asked “my dentist” what could be done and why was it happening and I was told “nothing could be done, it’s too late now” and I was never told a reason or a remedy.What is worse is that this serious gum disease affected my four bottom front teeth badly, making them very wobbly, therefore biting and eating was very painful and sometimes impossible.Feeling depressed and thinking my situation was hopeless, I knew I needed to find another dentist.So I started to research the “best dentist” and a few times Khalid’s name came up. I did more research and his work was very impressive, his patients had undergone some amazing transformations and he seemed extremely kind and gentle.So, I took the brave step and made a new patient appointment and He made me feel so relaxed and calm the moment I met him and explained he could help me, which was the best part for me. He carefully went through what he was going to do in language I could understand.I had to have 4 of my bad teeth taking out but he made sure that a 4 tooth denture was already made BEFORE the day of the extractions so that I never walked around with a gappy smile. My denture was so good too, it fit snugly and looked amazing but that was only the beginning.I then had a full course of hygiene appointments with Lynn who is also really good and gentle for nervous patients like me. This made sure my mouth felt good and healthy again and I did not have any sore spots, redness or bleeding.I then whitened my teeth for 6 weeks to get them ready for my new straight, white bridge.Today I got my bridge fitted and OMG, I cannot believe how great it looks and how amazing it actually feels to have such natural looking fixed teeth. My whole smile has been transformed…and so have I. I cannot stop staring at them! I’m so so so happy and I cannot thank Khalid enough for his amazing work (he is a dental magician) and for being so kind, gentle and nice.Khalid made me feel calm from the very first appointment and never once judged me, stared at my mouth or made me feel guilty. He always tried to make everything as painless as possible and never hurt me. I now look forward to going to the dentist and often do not sleep the night before down to the excitement rather than the fear.I have got my confidence back fully and the most perfect amazing teeth to go with it. I’d give 10 stars if I could 🤩

I had the amazing opportunity to shadow Dr Khalid and his team for two days just recently and it was a very insightful experience.When i stepped inside the practice I was greeted by the wonderful reception and they assured me Dr Khalid would be with me shortly.While shadowing Dr Khalid I saw how he interacted with patients and how they all left with smiles on their faces. Whenever I asked a question Dr Khalid always gave a well explained response. I also got to see multiple dental procedures e.g. Crown preps, Tooth Implants and also tooth extractions. Not only did I see this but also, Dr Khalid talked me through each procedure thoroughly ensuring i learned from it. I also got the opportunity to shadow Dr Henry Sarpong who was also great at answering my questions and also performing intricate procedures. Overall my experience at bank view smile studios was exceptionally eye opening into the career of dentistry and further increased my desire to be a dentist.I would like to thank all the staff at Bank View Smile Studios for making my experience there pleasant and I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for dental care or any work experience.

A month ago, i was delighted to be part of bank view smile studios door a day and shadowed Dr Khalid Master. From the moment i arrived, the whole team was welcoming and respecful. Their whole team work so harmoniously togetherDr Master was very insightful into my questions and enhanced my understanding into dentistryIm so grateful for this day I was blessed with and the entire clinic was just so amazing. Thank You So Much!!

I had a great experience at Bank View Smile with Dr. Kahlid. He took the time to give me helpful tips on keeping my teeth healthy and even shared some tricks since one of my teeth hasn’t fully come out yet. He was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!

During my placement, my passion for dentistry further developed. During the my time at Bank View, I observed lots of procedures. Dr Master explained everything I asked in lots of detail and also explained the procedures he was carrying out. I was given homework tasks to consolidate my knowledge as well. Overall, I throughly enjoyed the time I spent in the practice. Every single member of staff made me feel welcome.

During my two-day shadowing experience at Bankview Smile Studios, I gained valuable insights into the world of dentistry. This opportunity allowed me to observe various clinical procedures and explore the different dental specialties within the profession. Through discussions and observations with Dr Khalid, I developed a clearer understanding of the diverse career paths available in dentistry, from a general practice to specialised areas.What made the experience particularly meaningful was the openness and guidance of Dr Khalid. He took the time to explain not only clinical techniques but also broader issues affecting oral health in the community. These conversations motivated me to research dental public health challenges and the role professionals play in addressing them.The environment at Bankview Smile Studios was welcoming, professional, and educational. The clinicians showcased both technical skill and compassionate patient care, which reinforced my desire to pursue a career in dentistry. This experience was very inspiring, and I would be grateful for the chance to return and learn from such a dedicated and knowledgeable team.I highly recommend this experience.

I recently had the incredible privilege of shadowing Dr. Khalid at Bankview Smile studios, and I truly cannot express how grateful I am for the experience. From the very first day, I was welcomed into the practice with warmth, kindness, and professionalism, from all the staff and what followed was one of the most eye-opening and meaningful learning experiences I’ve ever had.Dr.Khalid generously allowed me to observe his day-to-day work, providing me with invaluable exposure to the real-world practice of dentistry. I was able to witness a wide range of procedures — from routine checkups to more complex treatments — and each one revealed just how much knowledge, precision, and care goes into being a great dentist. What impressed me most was not only the technical skill Dr. Khalid demonstrated, but the thoughtful, calm, and empathetic way they interacted with each and every patient.Throughout my time at the practice, Dr.Khalid took the time to explain procedures in detail, answer my many questions with incredible patience, and offer insights into both the clinical and interpersonal aspects of dentistry. He gave me space to reflect, ask questions, and genuinely immerse myself in the environment.This experience allowed me to explore dentistry to a far greater depth than I ever imagined. I now have a much clearer and more confident understanding of what it means to be a dental professional.I left this shadowing experience inspired, motivated, and with an even deeper passion for dentistry. It confirmed that this is the path I want to pursue and gave me a real-world foundation that I will carry forward into my studies and career.Thank you again, Dr.Khalid, Kathy and all the dental nurses and receptionists, for your kindness,generosity, your mentorship, and the example you set.I am so thankful for the time and knowledge shared by Dr Khalid in my time at the practice.

I was really nervous about going to the dentist. My teeth were not in the best state(understatement)! The embarrassment I felt was quickly quashed. Mr Khalid Master and the rest of the practice treated me with nothing but compassion and respect. I had extensive treatment over two months and the results have been fantastic, but it was the way I was treated when I first visited that was,to me,the most important. Thankyou.

Dr Khalid the lead Dentist is a very professional individual giving great customer service and dental treatments. He gave me invaluable advice regarding my daughter’s career. He has gone out of his way, which he didn’t have to. He’s a great asset to the company and to the wider community of blackburn.

While shadowing Dr. Khalid, I gained a wealth of understanding about the daily duties and difficulties faced by healthcare workers. Dr. Khalid was not only welcoming and encouraging but also took the time to carefully explain the ins and outs of different kinds of procedures and various types of patient interactions. He planted a seed of confidence and ability in me that now makes me feel good about potentially working in this field one day. As a teacher, he inspires not only with his words but also through the real-life applications of the things he says. This alone made my shadowing experience better and more worthwhile as i gained insight into the true workings of a dental clinic. I sincerely hope to have the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Master again in the future. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient at Bank View Smile Studios for fifteen years having transferred to Khalid when he and Thomas took over the practice. My two children are also patients from a young age and the gentle, caring way in which Khalid and his staff treated them made going to the dentist a perfectly normal pleasant experience.In the last fifteen years I have just had general maintenance work on my teeth, however this all changed a couple of months ago. I wanted a chip on my front tooth fixed which Khalid had repaired eleven years earlier! Also, the colour of my teeth had deteriorated and he suggested whitening prior to any work. That was the defining moment and the result has been incredible. Following the whitening, Khalid applied composite bonding to my two front teeth and when I saw them, I was absolutely thrilled much to Khalid’s delight.He has just completed work on five more teeth, including closing an annoying gap I have had all my life, and all without Invisalign! He has crafted bonding onto my existing teeth keeping a natural smile (no turkey teeth here). He is a master craftsman and his excitement in doing this work and making such a difference to a middle aged woman’s confidence is truly lovely. I feel very proud to be a patient at this clinic and I’m there again today for a filling in a back tooth, it can’t all be glamour! Bank View deserves all the accolades it has received, a truly genuinely happy place to visit every time.

My experience shadowing Dr. Master was exceptional and profoundly impactful. He generously imparted his considerable expertise, elucidating complex procedures with both precision and clarity. The opportunity for observational learning was invaluable, providing a real-world perspective on the practice of dentistry. Dr. Master's meticulous approach to his work, coupled with his approachable and affable nature, created a truly engaging learning environment. He consistently addressed my inquiries with patience and thoughtfulness. This experience has not only reinforced my aspiration to pursue a career in dentistry but has also significantly enhanced my understanding of the profession. I sincerely hope to have the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Master again in the future. Highly recommended.

My upper front tooth broke off on a Saturday morning, I was mortified! I was a hermit that weekend; didn't set foot out the door so no one would see how awful I looked with the gaping hole. I had a family funeral and a several important meetings the following week so I was really fearful of how long I might have to wait to get help.On Monday morning, I phoned Bank View at 8am and begged for an emergency appointment with Khalid. By 9.30am I was in the chair! I had barely slept, worrying about what could be done as the tooth had snapped almost at the gumline. Khalid just worked miracles. He built a new tooth - temporarily at first - and I was back the very next day for him to complete the ‘artistry’. It’s incredible and I could not be more grateful. Khalid didn’t win ‘UKs best dentist’ for no reason!I’ve attached the after picture…there are certainly not any before pictures! I’d highly recommend.
Sharon M.
Highly recommend... Bank View Smile Studio - Fantastic service, thorough and they practice what they preech - Calm and Gentle Dentistry. After years of thought and consideration, I took the step and had braces fitted, the new style braces are magic! Thankyou, Khalid and team for providing excellent, professional, friendly, service! I am over the moon with my new smile 😁

I have been a patient of Bank View Smile Studios for years. Thomas Sarpong is an exceptional dentist. He is highly skilled and very knowledgable and with the aid of the latest technology and the support of his team, he is proficient in all aspects of modern dentistry. Thomas is particularly good at dealing with patients with complex needs or those who are more nervous. I would highly recommend the practice to anyone and you can be confident that at Bank View Smile Studios you will receive the very best dental care in the north west. All front of house staff are highly professional and friendly too. This really is 'calm and gentle dentistry'!

I had delayed my root canal treatment for 2 years! however, I wish I had got it done earlier at Bank View Smile Studios.I hate visiting the dentist like many people, but I was dealt with professionally and Khalid made sure i was comfortable before the procedure began.I can reassure you that the root canal treatment carried out by Khalid was pain-free and smooth.Please do not make the same mistake I did by delaying my root canal treatment for 2 years because it led to horrible tooth pain!Honestly, do not hesitate for any treatment, you are in good hands with the team at Bank View Smile Studios.

Don’t ask me how, but I walked into a door at the age of 12 and broke my front tooth. The tooth was painful and I looked awful. Visiting the dentist was not high on priority list as a child and I went only because I had to, not because I wanted to. So, I went to have it repaired and although it did the job, it wasn’t a good experience.I became petrified of attending the dentist. I used to live in Glasgow up until 15 years ago and recently this “tooth cap” broke again and I went into a blind panic and didn’t know what to do.Once I’d calmed down, I researched who the best local dentist was and it was clear that Khalid at Bank View Smile Studios in Blackburn was the one.I’d read a lot of his testimonials and his Moment in the Mirror videos and I was impressed and so I plucked the courage to make an appointment and as the saying goes, the rest is history. I’ve never looked back because he was kind, gentle, calm and patient with me. He understood my fears and apprehensions.It wasn’t just the broken tooth, I was always self conscious about the white blotches on my front teeth and the stained crack lines too.Khalid came up with a treatment plan that fixed all 3 things at once and it didn’t break the bank either. I ended up paying just over £500 for the whole treatment and I’m delighted with the result.I cannot believe the difference it’s made to my smile, my confidence and in my feelings towards dentists. I cannot believe I’m saying this but I actually look forward to my dental appointments because of the wonderful team of nurses and receptionists who are also very supportive and smiley, especially his Khalid’s nurse Bee, who is funny. Khalid has completely transformed me in all aspects and I cannot thank him enough for this.If anyone is petrified about going to the dentist, like I used to be or you go because you have to, then I would not hesitate to recommend Khalid and BVSS as THE practice to go because they are simply brilliant. Forget 5 stars, I would give them 10 stars if could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been a patient of Dr. Khalid at Bankview Smile Studios since I was a baby with no teeth, and now I'm 13 years old! Dr. Khalid has been there every step of the way, making sure my teeth are healthy and strong as they've grown in. He's always gentle, explains everything clearly, and makes me feel comfortable, even when I'm nervous. The whole team at Bankview Smile Studios is super friendly and welcoming. I actually look forward to my dental visits because I know I'm in great hands. Thank you, Dr. Khalid, for taking such good care of my smile all these years! (Posting on behalf of my daughter Udaysah).

I’ve been a patient at Bankview Smile Studios since I was a baby, and Dr. Khalid has been my dentist for as long as I can remember. Over the years, he has taken great care of my teeth, ensuring I always left the clinic with a big smile on my face. Now, at 15 years old, I can truly say Dr. Khalid and his team have played a huge part in my dental health journey.Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to complete my work experience at the clinic. It was a fantastic learning experience that gave me valuable insights into the dental profession. I’m grateful to Dr. Khalid for this opportunity, as it has sparked a genuine interest in possibly pursuing dentistry in the future.Thank you, Dr. Khalid, and the entire team at Bankview Smile Studios, for your consistent care and for making my work experience so memorable. I’m proud to be a patient here and look forward to continuing my dental care journey with you.

I have visited Bank View Smile Studios for two extractions this year and I would not have returned for the second one if I did not have the utmost confidence in Khalid Masters. He explained everything clearly, recognised how anxious I was and put me at ease. I would like to say thank you again Khalid.

Using this platform, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. Khalid Master and his remarkable team for their help and generosity.

Been at this dentist for 5 years now and you can't fault here. Staff are extremely welcoming and polite. Dr Khalid is so knowledgeable and has helped me improve my teeth significantly in the last 5 years. Never felt more comfortable to go to a dentist. Highly recommend for yourself, family and friends!

You could not fault this place. I recommend everyone to go here! Staff are brilliant. I wish I could show everyone my before and after with my fillings, caps everything... Before it was awful, now my teeth looks amazing, thanks to Thomas and his team!! And the hygienist, my god she does a wonderful job! Here is a before and after.

Choosing the right dentist:
I conducted thorough online research to find the best dentist in the northwest. After considering factors like past accolades and top reviews, I followed my instincts and chose Bankview.First impression of the service:
The staff at Bankview are exceptional. Meeting Khalid Master for the first time was a pleasant experience. He was articulate, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how he could enhance my teeth according to my preferences. Khalid's professionalism, prompt communication, and genuine interest in my dental goals left a lasting impression. His expertise and personalised approach made me feel at ease throughout the process.Dental concerns and treatment plan:
My initial issues included a cross-bite, discoloured teeth, and uneven alignment. Despite the complexity of my case, Khalid assured me that he would strive to achieve straighter teeth without the need for surgery or braces. The treatment plan involved a comprehensive approach using porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns, and a bridge. These procedures were tailored to address various aspects like shape, size, color, position, crossbites, and missing teeth simultaneously. Remarkably, this transformation was achieved without the use of braces or causing any damage to my natural teeth.Results and satisfaction:
Within the promised timeframe of 8 months, Khalid successfully transformed my smile. The outcome exceeded my expectations, earning a perfect 10/10 rating. I am immensely grateful for the life-changing results he delivered without compromising my natural teeth.Recommendation:
Based on my personal experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Bankview Dentist. If you value exceptional service, expertise, and a personalised approach to dental care, you are likely to have a similarly positive experience.
Bee
Very happy with the excellent work done on my front two teeth by Khalid. I lost confidence with my smile and felt my front two teeth were very sensitive. The issue was fixed through having a composite bonding procedure performed by Khalid my dentist. It was cheap, painless, no laboratories, quick, and nobody could tell I've had work done on them!Definately recommend this dentist if your after cosmetic work to your teeth also!
Uwais
I had the incredible opportunity to spend two days at this dental clinic for work experience, under the guidance of Dr. Khalid Master, and I couldn't be more impressed. Dr. Master was an absolute gem in accommodating me and ensuring that my time there was both educational and enriching.Throughout my stay, Dr. Master displayed an exceptional level of expertise and professionalism. He patiently answered all the questions I had, providing explanations that were detailed enough to satisfy my curiosity yet presented in a manner that was easy to grasp. His ability to simplify complex concepts without compromising on depth truly stood out.What truly set Dr. Master apart was his dedication to providing a holistic understanding of dental procedures. He didn't just go through the motions; instead, he meticulously explained the significance of each step within the dental field and even from a business perspective. This approach not only deepened my appreciation for the intricacies of dentistry but also broadened my understanding of its broader implications.Overall, my experience at this dental clinic surpassed all expectations, thanks to Dr. Khalid Master's expertise, patience, and commitment to mentorship. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an outstanding professional, and I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking top-notch dental care and mentorship.

I've been Khalid's patient for a few years. Unfortunately I developed severe dental anxiety about three years ago and put off visiting the dentist. I finally plucked up the courage to go in June 2023. I sent an email with my concerns and Khalid was very understanding and reassured me. I needed a filling which Khalid did for me as quickly as he could as he works professionally but at a good speed to ensure I was not in the chair longer than I needed to be.I developed an abscess and also needed a root canal which he did for me in September. I was very nervous but Khalid kept me informed of what he was doing throughout. He showed me the xrays after and it was meticulous. Khalid has saved three of my teeth which I know would have been pulled out by many other dentists. Thank you Khalid. Although I'll never look forward to visiting the dentist, I know that I will always be dealt with professionally and with understanding. Thankyou Bank View. [My wife's review ]

I had an emergency on Friday evening after working hours and Dr Khalid saw me instantly and treated me straight away. He put my mind at peace and ease and advised me precisely on my further steps with taking care of my teeth.

Dr. Khalid is a very professional yet friendly orthodontist. He located and fixed all issues with my teeth quickly and perfectly. Very pleased with my treatment.
Noreen S.
10 stars for Bank View for giving me back my confidence in visiting the Dentist. I came to see Khalid after avoiding dental visits for many years. My treatment was planned in 3 phases & explained thoroughly.I am very happy & would recommend anyone reluctant to have any treatment done to visit Khalid & his nurse Bee, this team holds to its calm & gentle motto. Look forward to seeing them in the new year 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
hamzah D.
Thank you Bank View for taking care of my teeth, Khalid & Bee always go the extra mile. I had ortho treatment done elsewhere with a fixed retainer fitted at the end of treatment which kept failing. Khalid is my regular dentist who helped to fix this problem and I have had no issues since. Thank you to all the team
xRamshax
By far the best dentist in the whole of Blackburn with the best services. Dr khalid truly makes sure you are happy with the service before he lets you leave and makes sure you are 100 percent satisfied with your treatment. Checks teeth thoroughly and makes sure you’re left with a big smile. Im so grateful we have thier dentist id be lost without them! Thankyou for a lovely and great service everytime!
Muneer M.
I saw Dr khalid Master for an assessment of my oral hygiene and some cosmetic work of my teeth. It’s been a long time coming and there was lots of information I had to digest in this appointment to ensure I was looking after my teeth. This included complex steps to achieve the perfect smile I wanted. Khalid was able to easily break it down and provide me with a step by step breakdown of affordable costs, ensuring I was fully informed at all points. As a doctor myself, I saw the good communication he has practiced over the years implemented to the highest standard. Dentistry may not be my field but I felt safe, comfortable and fully informed as his patient and I will definately be taking away some of his communication skills! The staff at the practice were really helpful in booking appointments and making the practice accessible for me around my busy rota. 5/5 stars!!
Marihah N.
I have been given advice for taking care of my mouth and teeth whilst having braces. They are very good and patient whilst explaining why I need to use certain tools to improve my teeth posture and health. This is a good place to take care of your teeth and is invested in helping and improving certain things
Graham T.
I've been a long standing patient of the practice, more than 25 years but the last 13 years I've been under the care of Dr Khalid Master who is absolutely fabulous. I used to be quite nervous about my dental visits and went because I have to rather than want to, but ever since Khalid arrived all that changed completely. I actually look forward to my visits and dont mind having injections because he does them painlessly. In fact I was treated today because I had a filling repair with NO anaesthetic at all and I honestly didnt feel a thing and I was entertained by the dental nurse Bushra who is also excellent. I believe Khalid is a dental magician and I would highly recommend him and Bank View Dental practice. I would give more than 5 stars if I could because the care and service is faultless.
Emma T.
12 months ago my NHS dentist basically wrote me off. I was told my teeth were loose and there was nothing that could be done. I was living on porridge and soup as I was scared of a tooth falling out. A year later, thanks to Thomas and Lynn I have teeth I can chew with and a new found confidence in going to the dentist. The team have all been wonderful but Thomas and Lynn have really gone the extra mile to be gentle and encouraging. THANK YOU
Ian B.
Many thanks to Khalid and the team for my new smile! Always highly professional, an outstanding, calm and gentle service as ever. Excellent dentistry. Very best wishes.

It is not a revelation to why this private dental clinic has been nominated and in occasions, won recent multiple awards.Dr Khalid Master extensively assesses presenting complains from the patient and shines light to the unknown. He elaborately discusses issues and anomalies in the teeth to take a rectified approach on a treatment plan that empowers potential to transform your smile and confidence. This has been always achieved without any nuances from my 2 days of observation, where he is persistent to the challenges he has faced and in endeavour, actively listened to his realisations to understand how he is able to adapt in such complicated situations. He is truly motivated and invested in everyone's oral health, as evident when he routinely sees loyal patients throughout the past years.I recommend every aspiring dentist to undertake work experience here by his silhouette. He has a cohesive teaching style that enabled me to not only take notes of dentistry in general and how it works, but to be open-minded and appreciate the development it progressed from 'back in the days' to now. I have learned so much in a short span, where my time was revitalised by the variety of patients that came in for different procedures, especially with the dentist's dynamic engagement.The dentist cannot steal all the credit, though. The whole team definitely deserved my earnest gratitude. Without them, there would not be homely foundation for the dentist to embrace in, as well as redemption for the people that are seeking to mitigate tedious throbbing sensations or for a startling smile. They enforce that you have the knowledge needed to maintain crystal clear hygiene, you have been reserved a booking for a dentist for whatever the personal reason, and you are cared for in your visit.Thank you Dr Khalid Master and the team. Without you, this practise would not be outstanding as it is. Keep it up!
Mark C.
I have just finished my treatment that has completely transformed my smile. The confidence I have gained is huge and I have never been happier. Thomas was amazing throughout, very reassuring and passionate about his work. Aliyah was great too. I can't thank them both enough for all they have done and I would recommend bank view smile studio to anyone and everyone. Truly a 5 star dentist and very friendly staff throughout.

As a highly anxious person, going to the dentist is something I would constantly avoid. However, after attending Bank View Smile Studios, my trust within the dentist is restored! Dr Khalid Master has a gentle approach and an eye for detail. He explains and translate the dental jargon into something none specialist can understand making me feel very comfortable. I'm proud to say, I am no longer worried or anxious when going to the dentist, but actually look forward to treatment. Dr Master has transformed my teeth, and this has meant I actually get a few compliments when I'm out over how white and natural my teeth look! I love going back to get my zoom teeth whitening. Thank you Dr Master - forever grateful.

My mum brought me there and I remember being a bit nervous but now having met Dr Khalid, Bushra and everyone, I absolutely love it there!I had to get my braces for the first time and I’ll admit i was scared but if it wasn’t for Dr Khalid and Bushra I would’ve been a lot more worried. They took care of my teeth so well and it was painless effort.Im only 13 years old and Dr Khalid managed to transform my teeth in only half a year! There was a time where my braces were removed and my teeth slowly moved back. But Dr Khalid and Bushra wasted no time and transformed my teeth with only 2 months to spare. And today my braces are finally off and everything feels goodIm so grateful to everyone at Bank View and I love everyone there!Thank you so so so so so much!- Mehreen Sayed

From the moment you first walk in the door to leaving.Thank you for your care. Please rest assured that this is a first rate practice run by first rate people with a genuine caring nature.

A great experianceAlthough it was only 2 days, i feel like i have learnt a weeks worth of pertinent informationBefore i thought observing would be boring, but my viewpoint has compeltely changed, thanks to Dr khalidI am further glad that i decided to change my future aspirations from accounting to dentistry 2 years agoAnd i beleive that if still wanted to do accounting, coming here and experiencing a day (or 2 in my case) in the life of a professional dentist would have made me change immediately

I came here as part as my work experience and found the atmosphere very inviting and safe, the patients all seemed very comfortable and happy, the dental team are very lovely and kind and always try to do the best for you and always listen to your concerns, amazing dental clinic overall.

As a year 12 student aspiring to become a dentist, work experience is crucial not only to add to your personal statement for university, but also to gain an insight and better understanding of being a dentist. I am very grateful that Bank View Smile Studios gave me the opportunity to shadow at their dental practice for 2 days, especially since gaining work experience at dental practices are extremely hard to find.Within the first 10 minutes, I already felt comfortable after being welcomed by the wonderful receptionists and given a tour by Kathy Smith. Whilst shadowing khalid, I learnt alot of valuable things not only by observing him interact with his patients, but what he talked to me about. Through observing him, I learnt the importance of having a good rapport with your patients: all patients were treated with great care and khalid also explained in depth to them the causes and treatments to their oral problems in order to educate them on how they can improve their oral health. The patients trust Khalids advice and Khalid trusts them to take his advice which helps to maintain the strong rapport. During the free time we had, khalid taught me many things including: what I can do after university, dental drills, dental code, different sectors in dentistry, different types of practices, the importance of having a dental licence and the importance of having manual dexterity. After leaving the dental practice, all this knowledge made me more confident in wanting to pursue a career in dentistry.While shadowing, what really stood out to me was the amazing teamwork. Khalid and the dental nurse, B worked well together, giving the best quality of treatment to every patient and demonstrated why this is an award winning practice.

As a mum of a patient who needed urgent dental care, we were seen on the same day and the staff from reception to the dentist have been exceptional - a practice that "does what is says on the tin"!!

I went in for a filling and Khalid gave me and x Ray and advised me that it had gone beyond a filling and I would either need a root canal filling or an extraction, I opted for the extraction and he performed it straight away with no extra cost, he was very professional throughout and explained everything to me as he was performing it, he made me feel comfortable throughout and answered all the questions that I had.
Rebecca K.
Absolutely wonderful practice. Khalid has restored my faith in dentists. After visiting for an emergency appointment many many months ago we have started a journey of getting me to my perfect smile. He is calm and gentle, knowledgeable and patient. I was very nervous going to the dentist thanks to bad past experiences and now I don't worry about visiting at all. I cannot thank Khalid and everyone at the practice more for the treatment and kindness they have shown. Best dentist around.

I recently had some dental work done at Bank View Smile Studios and I have to say, it was very informative. From the moment I walked in, the staff was very friendly towards me. They took the time to explain each step of the process and answer any questions I had.Dr Master and Dr Somia were also fantastic. They were excellent and very informative throughout the entire procedure.Overall, I was extremely impressed with my experience at Bank View Smile Studios. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of dental work to come here.

I first joined BVSS in 2021, Before joining this brilliant dentist I was extremely nervous of any dental appointments, I hadn't visited the dentist in well over 5 years, I had such a bad experience at my previous dentist that I believed it would be the same anywhere but that genuinely wasn't the case here at all, I couldn't recommend BVSS and Dr Khalid more. I have had a complete smile make over, I've never smiled so much in my whole life. In the past I would constantly cover my mouth every time I laughed or spoke due to how bad my teeth looked, They were badly stained, I needed several root canals and a tooth extraction. Whilst at BVSS Dr Khalid worked his magic and I've now got a beautiful smile, I can't help but show off my teeth whenever I can, I've had composite bonding on my top front teeth and my bottom, Khalid not only straightened the top but also created an illusion on my bottom teeth which made them look straight , as my bottom teeth are over crowded this caused them to become crooked but now with this illusion they look straight. Typically if I was told I needed to have a root canal or even a tooth extraction I would be absolutely petrified however with Khalid and the brilliant dental nurses I am always at ease and there is no pain whatsoever, I could honestly fall asleep through treatment. Khalid is the best of the best, I couldn't recommend him or his team more, I'm constantly getting compliments about my beautiful white teeth and I always recommend people come to BVSS, You won't be disappointed!

I’ve been a patient at bank view smile for less than a year for my Invisalign treatment. For someone who is anxious at the dentist just wanted to say thank you Somia for always reassuring me, explaining everything in detail at all appointments, and giving me the confidence I needed in my teeth & smile. Always so welcoming & professional when I visit, making sure I’m comfortable. I’m soo happy with my final result. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Zoe J.
I am extremely happy with my teeth. I had a nasty fall and fractured my front tooth and the tooth next to my front tooth. My fractured front tooth was a complicated facture as the fracture was above the gum line, no other dentist wanted to deal with my teeth. I was recommended to go to smile studio and I am so glad I did now. They were so helpful and caring. The dentist Khalid did an excellent job, it has restored my confidence. I highly recommend. I had a root canal and a crown also filings.
Karen W.
After long consideration I finally decided to take the plunge and go for the Invisalign braces!! After 5 months of not much effort at all on my part, I am over the moon with the results. Somia was my dentist and I am so grateful to her for everything she has done. She took me through the process step by step she had a wide knowledge of Invisalign and I felt confident that I was going to end up with the smile I’d always wanted. I am so pleased with the end result and literally love smiling!! Thank you Somia!

As an aspiring dental student, I naturally wanted to complete work experience to widen my knowledge in dentistry and solidify it as my career choice.After contacting all available dental clinics in Blackburn, only BVSS responded and offered me a 2 day work experience shadowing Dr Khalid. Since the Covid outbreak, many dental practices have refused to take students for work experience, which has affected our progression in applying for University, however, Bank View gave me this opportunity and were very accommodating.During my time there, I observed a number of procedures carried out by Dr Khalid, such as dental extraction, brace fitting and a root filling. After each procedure, Dr Khalid would explain in simple and understandable terms to the patient, which also aided my comprehension. He provided me with every opportunity to learn more about the dental profession.I gained an insight into Dr Khalid’s professional competence and commitment to the career, which was very inspiring and reinforced my interests. He answered all my questions to a high standard and showed me the basics of dental charting, dental handpieces, and impressions. He informed me of the different pathways a dentist can take after completing their degree.The whole practice works as a multi-disciplinary team to provide patient-centred care starting from the receptionists to the dental nurses and dentists. This is only improved by the exceptional patient conduct and amazing rapport built by Dr Khalid and his peers leaving every patient smiling and content with their treatment.Overall, I would recommend Bank View practice to all aspiring dental students, who wish to be more informed about the career and gain experience in the field, as Dr Khalid will not only mentor you but give you a unique perception of dentistry.I would also like to thank Kathy for aiding me in the application process and allowing this opportunity to take place.

What does a smile mean to you?-Happiness?-Symbol of Friendship?-Self Confidence?Without the confidence to show off your beautiful smile, many other areas of your life are impacted;-From friendships-To business dealings-And even romantic partnersKhalid and the Team have transformed my Smile.- A Whiter Smile.- Perfectly shaped teeth.- But the biggest change occurred not inside my mouth, but outside my mouth...My confidence and self esteem has improved immeasurably since working with Professionals like Khalid and the whole Team. This is by far the greatest gift and benefit you will receive by prioritising your Dental Health and working with the Professionals at Bank View Smile Studios!Can you really put a price on that?

Brilliant service, I was very well looked after over the years, I was made an exception by seeing me on the NHS, and had my appointment brought forward and seen to as soon as possible due to severe wisdom teeth ache. Thank you!

What a great practice!!! Dr Khalid is a real star and we're so confident in him and his team....my kids are in his hands too...and I will go to the practice if and when I'll need anything!...well recommended!!!
Ashfaaq M.
I was recently referred to BVSS by a close friend (RK). I was in alot of pain and was quickly provided with the first appointment avaiable with Dr Khalid. Khalid was extremely professional and friendly and did a scan on my tooth and advised me that the tooth could actually be saved rather than extracted. I was walked through the whole process and thereafter treated on that day and given a further treatment appointment within a couple of days to ensure that all treatment takes place prior to flying out on holiday. I would highly recomend!
Graham P.
I visited the Bank view dentists this morning, all the staff are nice and friendly,it was my first visit to dentist in over ten years and I only went as i was in pain, I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment i received today, Khalid talked me through the process in easy to understand terms and put me at ease, I had two teeth extracted and can honestly say i didn’t feel a thing, I wlll definitely be returning now on a regular basis to keep my teeth in good condition.
Siobhan B.
Had an appointment with Dr Khalid today and it was a pleasure. The doctor took out the stitches I had placed when I was out of the country, did an xray for me and ensured that everything is healing correctly! He was very gentle and reassuring throughout and also recommended me a few ways to take care of the post-surgery site, even despite me not having the foresight to ask about it in the first place! Wholeheartedly recommend

After contacting most dentists in Blackburn, only 2 offered me work experience. This included bank view where I shadowed Dr Khalid for 2 days. In this short duration, I was able to see 35+ unique cases and his ability to accommodate every patient’s needs was highlighted- a fine example of patient-centeredness. Dr Khalid conducts himself in a professional manner and approaches each patient with compassion and empathy. He delivers on his promise of ‘calm and gentle dentistry’.It was a privilege to gain so much insight into the profession and learn from his experience and career advice. I had a very interactive few days where I had the opportunity to mix my own silicon impression and chart a set of teeth.For one afternoon I also shadowed Dr Somia. I am greatly appreciative of her willingness to answer all my questions and thankful for her advice, which I will take with me for the rest of my dental application.Many thanks again to Dr Khalid and the entire dental team at Bank View for having me and for being extremely welcoming and supportive.
Charlie C G.
I’m 50 years old and have worked all my life, neglected my health and my teeth, I had a fear of the dentist and only went when absolutely necessary, by that time they had to be extracted, then I met Superman Khalid, he took my fear away with his Magic, to the point we’re I fell asleep on many Occasions in his chair, he gave me a wonderful smile back with new teeth caps, I would 100% recommend Khalid and his professional team.
Karen L.
As someone who has a severe phobia of dentist I finally plucked up enough courage to make a visit to bank view after reading all their reviews and I wasn't disappointed. As my teeth were in a severe state I needed them all out and dentures in there was no judgement and all the staff were absolutely brilliant and so welcoming and understanding and after 4 visits the work was done . I cannot recommend this practice enough . I am so thankful to everyone and will recommend them to everyone I meet.

Recently, I completed 2 days of work experience at this clinic. During the first day, I shadowed Dr Thomas Sarpong and witnessed this clinic's procedure for dental check-ups. What struck me during the appointments I witnessed on my first day was the way in which Dr Thomas communicated with his patients. He would laugh and make jokes with them to put them at ease. In addition, he told me that he made small notes about his patients after each appointment such as whether they were going on holiday, etc. Then he would bring these topics up the next time he saw them so that the patients felt he cared about them and be able to help them. This commitment to building a positive relationship with his patients greatly inspired me as it is something I would enjoy to do when I become a dentist.On my second day at this clinic, I shadowed Dr Khalid Master. As Dr Khalid enjoys doing more complex dental procedures, I had the fortune of witnessing some unique and interesting procedures. These included restoring a front tooth, which had had a massive portion chipped off. This procedure involved many different parts and showed a wide range of skills which would be needed to be successful in dentistry. In addition to this, Dr Khalid made sure to answer my questions in between patients and taught me a lot about the different career pathways available after graduation from dental school such as positions in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings. Also, the way Dr Khalid would explain every step of the procedures in detail to his patients greatly helped me as well as I was able to learn a lot about the different procedures which dentists can offer.Overall, I had a very positive experience during my 2 days at Bank View Smile Studios and would definitely recommend it to any other prospective dental students who are looking for clinics to gain work experience at.

I have been coming to this practise since I was very young and am now nearly 30. Bank View took over my care 12 years ago, and they have been truly outstanding. They're care and concern for my teeth and gum health is excellent, and they're knowledge and ability is too! Best dentist I've been to.
Lucy S.
I came across this dentist three years ago. As someone who was extremely nervous about the dentist, from the second I spoke to someone on the phone to the initial meeting with Cathy I was put at ease. Khalid is an amazing dentist who is extremely gentle to the point where you could fall asleep in the chair! He explains things clearly and is very informative. I would highly recommend Bank View Smile Studio.

Dr Khalid had treated my teenage son Ben for his braces, he has done the most well wonderful job, and his teeth are now absolutely perfect!
Dr Khalid also treated my daughter, they both have the most perfect smiles now, I would recommend Bank View Smile Studio to everyone.

Been registered with this practice for more than 10 years and I am so happy with the service. Have had several treatments and I couldn’t be happier. Dr Khalid is the best out there and I’m so glad I found this practice. Everybody here is very friendly and I have had my children registered here too. The treatment, the information given and the aftercare is next to none and I would recommend anyone wanting the perfect smile and care to register here.

I first went to Bank View Smile Studios as an emergency appointment nearly 2 years ago & I can honestly say that one appointment changed my whole dental experience from being terrified to actually enjoying the dentist! I’ve had numerous surgeries, braces and all the extras that come with that & now I have the smile I’ve always dreamed of, along with healthy teeth - nothing I would have ever considered previously!
Aside from the fantastic work on my teeth Thomas & his team have completed, the whole experience from the staff has been phenomenal!!! Every single one of the ladies that work at Bank View are just great & I always enjoy our laughs & catching up with them when I visit.
I’ll never ever change dentists now and there isn’t enough kind words I can say about this fantastic practice & all the staff. Their charitable work is also well recognised, which to me just shows what great people they are!
If you’re even considering just having a consultation, do it! Without a doubt the best dental practise you’ll find! 🙌🙌🙌

My implant, veneers and crown are still going strong after 10 years when Khalid put them in. Always a friendly dentist with plenty of advice and useful tips. Wouldn’t go anywhere else and now my son is coming with me enjoying the experience from an early age!

After lots of not so good treatments at different dentists over many years my smile was not looking great. I very nervously decided on Bank View..best choice I made regarding my teeth. A course of treatment was planned and my fears were calmed. I now have a smile that i love and a healthy mouth..Thankyou Bank View xxx Lynette Varey

Before being a patient at Bank View Smile Studios, I always had to be sedated for any procedure. I am now more than happy without any sedation at all. However, I never liked the initial injection to numb the area as it was a little uncomfortable for about 10 seconds, but not any more. I has two fillings yesterday and with a new technique they are using I HONESTLY never felt a thing! I actually said to Khalid and Hayley that it was as pleasant an experience as going to the hairdressers. Plus I was so relaxed I could had dozed off. They really are the best Dental Practice. Love you all. Xxx
Kate H.
Dr Khalid Master at Bank View Smile Studios & all of his team are outstanding! Awards aside (and there are many!) His calm & gentle approach to the work he carries out is second to none, i can honestly say as a nervous patient there is no better dental practise around! His knowledge & understanding is mind blowing & he is such a lovely man who not only gives all of his time & attention to his patients & staff but he gives so much to the community & supports lots of charities. My children actually love going to see him, they fight over who goes first! Highly recommended!!
Cathy W.
I can not recommend this practise enough. From someone who had to previously be sedated to have a filling! To receiving person cantered individual care at Bank View!
And I got my smile � back
Many thanks to Thomas and his wonderful assistants.
Your kindness and amazing work is second to none ! �

Originally went to bank view for my braces in 2015, I was still registered with another dentist but they didn’t offer the braces I wanted. After meeting with khalid we decided to go with the fast braces, which I would only need for 6 months. After only 3 months my braces came off to reveal lovely straight teeth I had always wanted. After being looked after so well by everyone at bank view I moved and registered as a patient there. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now, a great dental practice!!
Sam C.
By far the best dentist around� can't believe I'm saying this about a dentist but I actually enjoyed the whole experience, Thomas is so gentle you just feel so relaxed in the chair. When I was a kid I had an accident on my bicycle and badly damaged my front teeth, I was supposed to go back to my NHS dentist when I was 17 (after my teeth had stopped growing) but I've always had a fear of the dentist and really didn't want to go back to have the work done. This year I've finally plucked up the courage to get my teeth back in shape and chose Bank View after reading all the great reviews on their website and I'm so glad I did, when Thomas was giving me the first injection on my first appointment I was very anxious, but couldn't believe it when there was no pain at all! Thomas and his assistant are absolutely brilliant, they are so friendly and caring they instantly put you at ease! As for the results, well what can I say... phenomenal, Thomas has transformed my smile and restored my confidence, I can smile again knowing my teeth look perfect! � I can't thank you enough!
Jay C.
Absolutely fantastic. After many many bad experiences with dentists as a teenager I had let my teeth get out of hand and hadn't been to see a dentist for a long time, I was looking for somewhere calm, caring and most of all someone who wouldn't judge me or my smile.. After finding bank view smile studios online and not being able to find a bad thing said about them I decided it was time to face my demons and get my teeth back on track. After meeting the most polite and genuine staff there is I was booked in for a full check up where everything was explained to me in full detail in a language I would understand. Today I have been for my first bit of work with Khalid and the results are unbelievable, honestly I can not believe that the teeth he has worked on are my own! Complete transformation with literally no pain at all! So long as I am registered here I will never be afraid of the dentist again! In fact i would even go as far to say as I can't wait for my next set of treatment to keep improving my smile! I just want to say a huge Thank You to Khalid and the rest of the team and to anyone looking for dentristy I would fully recommend you go here! 🙂
Thomas H.
My whole family and I have been patients of the practice for nearly 40 years now! Initially it was my husband and I and then as the family grew, they all joined and now all my sons and daughters, their spouses and all our grandchildren also attend. We were under the care of Mr Timothy J Holt ever since he graduated in 1978 and we were always happy with the good care and professional service provided by him. However, this was to be surpassed the moment Khalid and Thomas took over in 2010 with their ‘calm and gentle’ approach. Khalid now looks after my family’s dental health and he does so wonderfully.
When I first saw him, he seemed familiar but I didn’t know how or from where, but he recognised me because he went to the same primary and high school as my girls and so it took me while to adjust seeing him in his dental uniform and NOT in ‘short school shorts!’
Everyone in my family loves forward coming to the dentist, especially the young ones as there is nothing to fear at Bank View Smile Studios. However, recently I broke my top left molar tooth quite badly and when Khalid mentioned that he may need to do a root filling and crown, I have to be honest, all the bad thoughts of having complex treatment as a young women with my mouth ‘clamped open’ came flooding back.
I have utmost trust in Khalid and his dental abilities, but ‘your mind plays tricks on you’ and on the day of the appointment I did get a deep nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach. I needn’t have worried because the moment I mentioned this to Khalid he was EVEN more calm and gentle with me, reassuring me all the time he was working and I can honestly say that I did not feel a thing. The whole treatment was completely pain free and thoroughly calm and gentle as they profess. I cannot thank Khalid and all his wonderful team enough for making feel at ease and not a ‘silly fool’ as I thought I was being myself. His chairside manner is extraordinary and his attention to detail is second to none.
My husband and I happily comment on all the wonderful awards he and his team seem to win on a regular basis, especially the best dental practice in the UK award, which I believe they won twice and I could not disagree with the judge’s decision. So I would highly recommend him and Bank View Smile Studios, without reservation to anyone who wants to see the very best and I pray every day that he never leaves Blackburn.

Myself, my partner have been coming to see Khalid for 15 years. We moved with him when he set up his own practice; The Smile Studio. He has also taken care of my children's teeth since they were babies(now aged 10 and 11). The Khalid and his team of staff make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience. They set the highest level of professionalism and friendliness. Khalids style of dentistry is calm, educative and reassuring. He shows an genuine, personalised interest in our families dental needs. When I take the children for their appointments we always all manage to have a good giggle thus he makes us SMILE in more than one way!!! Awesome...
Tara H.
As a patient at bank view smile studios I can guarantee friendly, professional and the highest standard of dental practice, this is from the moment you walk into the door. khalid Master and his team have really transformed my smile and it is now something people always comment on. You can really tell that the team truley care about you as a person and your custom. I can not recommend this dental practice enough.
Faz P.
I'm a childhood friend that grew up with Khalid, so when I heard he had trained as a dentist and started work in his home town of Blackburn, there was only ever 1 person I was going to trust my dental health and that of my family.
I'm privileged he accepted my request and I'm proud to call him our dentist, especially because he has won so many awards personally and professionally, the best one being the Best Dental practice in the UK, not once but twice!
I love the fact that I can tell all my friends and family that I'm a patient if the No.1 dentist in the U.K. How many people can say that?
Khalid and ALL his staff are really warm, welcoming, reassuring, knowledgeable and most of all calm and gentle; a point that is extremely important if you're of a nervous predisposition like me and my son.
If you are looking for a new dentist in the #Lancashire area, I think they have got a few precious places left, don't delay, get in touch straight away and become a patient of this fabulous practice that we are so fortunate to have on our doorstep.
I cannot recommend Khalid and Bank View Smile Studios highly enough, they are perfect� Faz Patel MBE

This week I have had work done by both Khalid and Thomas. They are both excellent dentists but the treatment i received went far beyond that.Every step was explained and I felt part of the process. The staff they have assisting them are just as professional and friendly.Blackburn is fortunate to have such a first class dental practice . Brian Simms

I have been with this dentist for a number of years. Was dreading my appointment today, I don't know why because as usual Thomas made me feel really comfortable. I always get lots of useful information from him and never feel rushed. He took care and I didn't feel a thing. Really great service, all the other staff are really friendly too �
Rachel M.
Khalid is fab and always explains everything so I understand! And after a recent bout of excruciating toothache, Khalid was a miracle worker and had me back to work an hour later!

I have been in many places around and spend quite a few £££ without much luck, as I was still experiencing the same problems. Bank View Smile Studios is without a doubt the best around! I had all problems solved, I have been well looked after and I still am, as well as my family. My two daughters love to come to the dentist, no stress, no hassle and great services and very very professional!

Khalid has done some great work on both mine and my partner nicolas teeth, we have known Khalid since he was in Accrington, and have since followed him to smile studio, couldn't rate him highly enough !!
Nicola G.
First visit today and I was quite anxious on arrival. Khalid listened very patiently to my concerns and fully explained my treatment options. All the staff that I met were very helpful and welcoming. I feel very reassured that my future treatment will be of the highest possible standard and carried out in an unhurried calm environment with caring staff.
Kim L.
Well I'm undergoing lots of treatment to do something I have always wanted which is improve my smile / teeth I can honestly say I am so glad I chose this practice from my first meeting I felt comfort and at ease, I have always been embarrassed by my teeth and they made me feel comfortable and my anxiety disappeared, throughout my ongoing treatment of root canal , extractions I have felt comfortable and well cared for , Thomas is an angel and I am excited to start the whitening process before the final treatments thankyou from the bottom of my heart

Where do I start? From the moment I moved from my old practice to BVSS I and my family have had 5 star service. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, the facilities are the same, no sterile (as in boring!) , cold waiting rooms. I can't speak highly enough of the work I have had done by Khalid Masters. I have had a couple of broken teeth practically rebuilt instead of the extraction I would have previously expected. They are tremendous. He also persuaded me to have a denture replaced with a bridge, and after thirteen years of putting up with it, I was a little dubious having seen some dodgy and badly matched ones. I needn't have worried. It's like having an improved set of my own back. Literally new and improved! I couldn't be happier!!
Emma B.
I cannot recommend this surgery highly enough. The staff are very friendly and helpful with extensive knowledge in their field. The diagnosis is always spot on by a highly skilled dentist Khalid Master who always manages to put you at ease with his gentle touch. 5 stars is not enough for this amazing practice.
Jacqui W.
I phoned today for an emergency appointment for my daughter who had excruciating tooth pain, had the first appointment which was perfect, Khalid reassured us that all was ok apart from Bethan's pain coming from her wisdom tooth, we also had the check today which was scheduled for May so now all sorted for another 6 months. Thank you Khalid and all your Team X

This is a great surgery which has staff who are caring and knowledgeable. You will not get a better service than at Bank View Smile Studios, it is a great practice.
Lesley H.
Super dentists, super staff, super service. Thank you for being extremely patient with me. I certainly recommend these to anyone who suffers severe anxieties. Onwards and upwards, can't wait to get my new knashers.

Excellent professional people who make you so at ease, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thomas & Khalid brilliant dentists. Thanks for all you've done for me with straightening my teeth and making me smile love you all xxx

I can't thank Khalid enough for the amazing work he has done for me. He is professional, genuine and very calm. He has performed his magic with implant and bridge work. I wasn't sure about having implants, but there was no need to worry, absolutely no pain or problems. Khalid has given me my... smile back! Also I would like to thank the lovely nurses at bank view and to the Lab for all their hard work.read more

Dr Thomas and his assistant have been amazing from start to finish. I needed quite a bit of work doing and was very nervous about my first visit but they kept me calm and relaxed the whole time. I did not feel any pain during my fillings and even my root canal was completely painless.On my last... appointment I was that relaxed I could have fallen asleep in the chair. They have genuinely helped me get over my anxiety about the dentist and I am so glad I finally decided to go. Looking back, I do not know why I put it off for so long.The receptionists are also lovely and the whole place feels really welcoming from the moment you walk in. I am truly grateful for everything they have done and I cannot thank them enough.Aidan Woodread more

Like many people my age, I have genuinely tried my best to look after my teeth, but I still ended up developing a serious form of gum disease. Life doesn’t seem fair!I regularly attended the dentist and constantly asked “my dentist” what could be done and why was it happening and I was told... “nothing could be done, it’s too late now” and I was never told a reason or a remedy.What is worse is that this serious gum disease affected my four bottom front teeth badly, making them very wobbly, therefore biting and eating was very painful and sometimes impossible.Feeling depressed and thinking my situation was hopeless, I knew I needed to find another dentist.So I started to research the “best dentist” and a few times Khalid’s name came up. I did more research and his work was very impressive, his patients had undergone some amazing transformations and he seemed extremely kind and gentle.So, I took the brave step and made a new patient appointment and He made me feel so relaxed and calm the moment I met him and explained he could help me, which was the best part for me. He carefully went through what he was going to do in language I could understand.I had to have 4 of my bad teeth taking out but he made sure that a 4 tooth denture was already made BEFORE the day of the extractions so that I never walked around with a gappy smile. My denture was so good too, it fit snugly and looked amazing but that was only the beginning.I then had a full course of hygiene appointments with Lynn who is also really good and gentle for nervous patients like me. This made sure my mouth felt good and healthy again and I did not have any sore spots, redness or bleeding.I then whitened my teeth for 6 weeks to get them ready for my new straight, white bridge.Today I got my bridge fitted and OMG, I cannot believe how great it looks and how amazing it actually feels to have such natural looking fixed teeth. My whole smile has been transformed…and so have I. I cannot stop staring at them! I’m so so so happy and I cannot thank Khalid enough for his amazing work (he is a dental magician) and for being so kind, gentle and nice.Khalid made me feel calm from the very first appointment and never once judged me, stared at my mouth or made me feel guilty. He always tried to make everything as painless as possible and never hurt me. I now look forward to going to the dentist and often do not sleep the night before down to the excitement rather than the fear.I have got my confidence back fully and the most perfect amazing teeth to go with it. I’d give 10 stars if I could 🤩read more
Aqsa I
I recently had the incredible privilege of shadowing Dr. Khalid at Bankview Smile studios, and I truly cannot express how grateful I am for the experience. From the very first day, I was welcomed into the practice with warmth, kindness, and professionalism, from all the staff and what followed was... one of the most eye-opening and meaningful learning experiences I’ve ever had.Dr.Khalid generously allowed me to observe his day-to-day work, providing me with invaluable exposure to the real-world practice of dentistry. I was able to witness a wide range of procedures — from routine checkups to more complex treatments — and each one revealed just how much knowledge, precision, and care goes into being a great dentist. What impressed me most was not only the technical skill Dr. Khalid demonstrated, but the thoughtful, calm, and empathetic way they interacted with each and every patient.Throughout my time at the practice, Dr.Khalid took the time to explain procedures in detail, answer my many questions with incredible patience, and offer insights into both the clinical and interpersonal aspects of dentistry. He gave me space to reflect, ask questions, and genuinely immerse myself in the environment.This experience allowed me to explore dentistry to a far greater depth than I ever imagined. I now have a much clearer and more confident understanding of what it means to be a dental professional.I left this shadowing experience inspired, motivated, and with an even deeper passion for dentistry. It confirmed that this is the path I want to pursue and gave me a real-world foundation that I will carry forward into my studies and career.Thank you again, Dr.Khalid, Kathy and all the dental nurses and receptionists, for your kindness,generosity, your mentorship, and the example you set.I am so thankful for the time and knowledge shared by Dr Khalid in my time at the practice.read more

I was really nervous about going to the dentist. My teeth were not in the best state(understatement)! The embarrassment I felt was quickly quashed. Mr Khalid Master and the rest of the practice treated me with nothing but compassion and respect. I had extensive treatment over two months and the... results have been fantastic, but it was the way I was treated when I first visited that was,to me,the most important. Thankyou.read more

A previously scared out his wits young patient now happily sits on dental chair with Khalid to have treatment
Sara’s shocked mum thought she’d ‘never see the day’ when Sara would happily enter the surgery, jump on the chair willingly, allow a thorough check up co-operatively and skip out of the practice with a sticker and a smile!
Relaxation aids
We offer relaxation aids such as TVs and WiFi internet in our comfortable and welcoming reception area and in surgery you can choose to listen to your favourite music through headphones or enjoy a cinematic experience with our fantastic DVD visor.
A gentle chair-side manner
What nervous patients often fear most is not being in control and this is why the dental environment seems to evoke such powerful and anxiety provoking responses. The dentists at Bank View Smile Studios are aware of this, which is why they will do their utmost to make you feel at ease and in control.
Khalid and Thomas have very gentle chair-side manners and they will talk through options and procedures well before they start any treatment. As the saying goes ‘knowledge conquers fear’, so knowing what’s going to happen before it occurs prepares the mind and body, removing the element of surprise.
In addition to the excellent behavioural scientific training that the dentists are proficient in, they are ably assisted by a highly trained and friendly team of support staff, who will endeavour to calm your nerves and make your dental experience with us a most pleasurable experience.
Judgement Free Dentistry
Many people may have not seen a dentist for years. They may have experienced pain or fear at a past appointment and haven’t wanted to go back. Does that sound familiar?
What happens next is you become embarrassed by your teeth and the health of your mouth and as a result you put off seeing the dentist again.
Unfortunately, this is a vicious circle as the fear of being judged by the dentist actually starts to become a real source of stress and anxiety.
That is where Bank View Smile Studios fit in. We never, ever judge anyone that comes to see us. It’s one of the promises that we make.
Our interest is in your well-being and nothing more. The last thing that you need is a disapproving look from us. We will work with you to overcome your initial fears and doubts and then move forward, restoring your smile, your confidence and your faith in dentists.
“Helping Anxious Patient Claire To Transform Her Smile”
Here is a review from our patient Lynda, that we feel sums up your experience when you come to Bank View Smile Studios. Have a read through and see what Lynda has to say about her ‘Judgment Free’ experience.
“Calm gentle and non-judgemental dentistry is what is promised and that is exactly what is delivered along with a professional but friendly, welcoming and caring service by all the team
If you are embarrassed about the state of your teeth or nervous about visiting a dentist, I would definitely recommend an appointment at Bank View Smile Studios. They are all brilliant and put you at your ease as soon as you walk through the door.
I first came to the surgery a few months ago after, for various reasons, not having visited a dentist for about 8 years. My teeth had deteriorated badly and as things got worse , the greater my anxiety about visiting a dentist had become. I was ashamed of the appalling state of my teeth and infected gums and the reaction of the dentist was one of my main fears.
It really helped that, having finally plucked up the courage to ring and explain that I was nervous and would like to speak with someone before I saw the dentist, I was given an appointment for that day to go to speak with Kathy one of the smile advisors. Having listened to my concerns, Kathy suggested that it would be helpful for me to meet the dentist straight away. That was exactly right for me as it meant that I was enabled to overcome one of my main anxieties at that first appointment.
As promised Dr Khalid didn’t criticise me at all and at no time during my treatment was I made to feel uncomfortable or judged for the state of my teeth. Quite the opposite, he showed understanding, patience and care at all times. That was so important to me.
He is a very skilful dentist. He carried out the necessary extractions quickly and painlessly despite the fact that many of my teeth were broken down to gum level. He very skilfully restored a tooth that I had thought beyond repair and closed a gap between my 2 lower front teeth which had been a source of embarrassment for some time.
I knew I was going to need dentures and was concerned about how they might look but Dr Khalid and his technician have crafted dentures which I look really natural. I am very impressed that he was able to do that with very little evidence of how my teeth had looked originally! Quite a challenge! It is an added bonus that the colour of my teeth has also been lightened.
Throughout my treatment I have felt comfortable with and very confident in Dr Khalid. He always explained what he was going to do and the outcome has been just as he promised.
Before coming to the practice, I had been embarrassed when speaking to people and would always try not show my teeth when I smiled. l now feel much more confident in speaking to people and it is lovely to be able to smile properly again and, also, not to have the worry of what will happen next time I visit the dentist.
Thank you so much to all the team – you’re all brilliant! I wouldn’t normally write such a long detailed review but I just hope it might help someone who is perhaps feeling the same way that I was to take that step to ring and make an appointment. I’m certainly very glad that I did and only wish that I had done it a long time ago.”
