Get a Free Early-Years Assessment for Your Loved-One
Dental development during your child’s growing years can have lifelong oral health impacts.
Early interceptive care from SmileHQ allows our specialist-led team to plan treatments to support natural, healthy development alongside discreet orthodontic treatments for teens and young people.
And because we believe effective care starts early, we offer a free assessment with our orthodontic team for every SmileHQ patient under 16.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends the first visit by age seven. However, visiting at age 4-6 is common—especially if your child’s dentist has cause for concern.
BOOK CONSULTATIONEarly Interceptive Orthodontics
Around the ages of six to seven, when young people’s adult dentition begins to develop, are particularly crucial years.
Spotting developmental challenges could save your loved one from needing expensive orthodontic treatment later in life as simple problems turn into more severe issues like protruding teeth and malocclusion.
Early interceptive orthodontics ensures the healthy development of your child’s teeth and jaws so they can get on with growing up.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an assessment before age seven. However, it’s often possible to spot potential problems from as early as four years of age. Whatever your loved ones’ age, peace of mind with a free early assessment from SmileHQ won’t cost you a penny.



Teen & Young People’s Orthodontics
Each year in the UK, around 20,00 children and young people are told their orthodontic issues aren’t severe enough to qualify for NHS treatment.
Those who are lucky enough to meet the NHS’ strict criteria often face waits of up to two years or longer to receive vital basic care—usually with intrusive fixed braces.
If your child has been refused care or is currently on the waiting list, you’ll know how frustrating it is to leave your child’s wellbeing in NHS hands.
A free assessment at SmileHQ can put your child’s oral health back on track, ensuring healthy development, perfect aesthetics, and discreet treatment that won’t leave them feeling self-conscious in the classroom.

Rave Reviews
Absolutely fantastic treatment from start to finish. My daughter was extremely anxious about having root canal treatment, but says she could barely feel anything. Rose (Endodontist) has a very professional and calming manner. The whole experience was the best experience my daughter has had at a dental practice. Belle (Nurse) was also so kind and caring, helping to completely put my daughter at ease. I can’t recommend Smile HQ and its staff enough. Also ladies on reception go above and beyond to Welcome you and put you at ease. Special mention to Hannah, for helping us get the quickest correct type of appointment, thoroughly answering all our questions. Seamless experience 😊
Couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment I’ve received at Smile HQ. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, excellent customer service! I couldn’t be happier with my new smile thanks to Dr Pola and his team! Felt so comfortable and at ease with pola. He was very professional and did an amazing job!
Two visits now; consultations and a hygienist appointment yesterday, always made to feel very comfortable in a professional environment… from an individual who has never been comfortable or wanting to visit the dentist, Smile HQ has completely changed my perspective and view of the experience! Looking forward to my next visit.
Couldn’t recommend Pola and his team enough. Pola is thorough and explains everything and makes you feel in safe hands. The girls are also amazing, massive thanks to Hannah for everything she helped me set my app up and the aftercare is amazing. Claire is so lovely and personable every visit and Sophie is brilliant during my sessions with Pola.
With the sorry state of my teeth, being embarrassed and somewhat scared, the staff at Smile HQ have gone above and beyond themselves in making me always feel at ease. Talking me through all the different stages that they are doing. I really couldn’t ask for better people. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody. You will not go wrong choosing Smile HQ.
Hygiene appointment – both the hygienist and nurse were very friendly and informative, they made the appointment feel very easy and eased my nerves immediately. Very professional and not only do my teeth feel great after but I have some useful tips to help me maintain a great clean. Thank you again ladies, 10/10 highly recommend!! 🙂
Fantastic clinic. Very friendly, helpful and caring staff and clinicians. The practice has been beautifully designed and doesn’t make you feel like you’re sitting in a dental practice which is a massive bonus. Would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high standard and quality dental care.
The atmosphere was so peaceful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listened to my needs and considered my comfort every step of the way. I would definitely recommend. I felt so confident walking out after just one clean. Already have my next appointments booked in. Now going to the dentist isn’t so scary.
