Your Dentist in Lewisham, Greenwich, Deptford & Blackheath
Transforming Smiles with Expert Orthodontics
Smile Up is an orthodontist-led dental practice in Lewisham, trusted by patients across Greenwich, Deptford and Blackheath. Whether you’re considering Invisalign, fixed braces or specialist treatment, you’ll be guided by a team that takes the time to explain every option — in plain English, or in Spanish, French, Portuguese or Italian if you prefer. Rated 4.9 stars by our patients since 2010.
Whether you are interested in the discreet comfort of Invisalign® or need the expertise of our Specialist team, we are all natural communicators who love to meet new people. In fact, we probably hold some sort of record for the most languages spoken in a dental practice—if you’re Spanish, French, Portuguese, or Italian, feel free to talk in your native tongue. You’ll feel much better when you understand every step of your orthodontic plan.
Orthodontics, Made Easy
At Smile Up, our orthodontic care is thoughtful, personalised, and never rushed. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options clearly, and guide you through every step, whether you’re considering traditional braces or modern clear aligners. With a focus on comfort, precision, and long-term results, we’re here to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile in a way that feels calm, supportive, and completely tailored to you.
“Great orthodontic outcomes come from careful planning, clear communication, and taking the time to do things properly. That’s how we approach every smile at Smile Up.”

A Calm, Friendly Place to Feel Comfortable
Nervous about the dentist? You’re in good company. Many of our patients found us after years of putting off treatment — and now travel across South London to see us. We never rush: every appointment includes time to talk through your concerns, and IV sedation is available if you need extra help to relax. Orthodontics is led by our principal dentist Ricky Sardinha — look closely and you’ll spot most of the team wearing braces by him.
A friendly place for calmer dentistry
We’re based on a quiet South London street called Friendly Place — and we like to think that name says a lot about who we are.
From the moment you walk through the door, our focus is on making you feel welcome, listened to, and at ease. It’s something our patients mention time and time again in their reviews: the friendliness of the team, the relaxed atmosphere, and how different it feels from what they expected a dental visit to be.
We offer a full range of modern dental treatments, delivered with care, clarity, and attention to detail. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up, orthodontics, or more involved treatment, you’ll be looked after by people who genuinely take the time to get to know you.
