Private dentist in Iver · near Slough
Calm, gentle dentist in Iver & Slough
I'm Dr Sophia Malik, a dentist in Iver caring for people across Slough and the surrounding areas. I qualified from St Bartholomew's and The Royal London (Queen Mary University of London) in 2001 and, with over 20 years' experience, offer gentle, unhurried treatment, clear explanations and a real understanding of nervous patients.
Why patients choose Sophia
Dentistry that feels calm, clear and kind.
I qualified from St Bartholomew's and The Royal London (Queen Mary University of London) in 2001 and have spent more than two decades looking after patients of all ages. My belief is simple: good dentistry begins with trust. I listen carefully, explain your options plainly, and let you decide at your own pace, never rushed, never judged, the way ethical dental care should be.
Day to day, that means everything from routine dental check-ups and dental hygiene visits to teeth whitening and gum health, with a particular interest in prevention and a real gift for putting nervous patients at ease. Cosmetic treatments are available too, but my first job is always to keep you healthy and comfortable.

You won't be rushed, and you won't be judged.
Many of the people I see haven't been to a dentist in years. That's completely okay. We start gently, a chat, a look, nothing you haven't agreed to, and build trust visit by visit.
We'll agree a stop signal, I'll explain everything before I do it, and we move entirely at your pace.

Questions, answered
Good to know
A few of the things people ask before booking with Sophia.
Do you accept nervous patients?
Yes, very much so. Many of the people I see haven't been to a dentist in years, and that's completely okay. You won't be rushed or judged, we agree a stop signal, I explain everything before it happens, and we move entirely at your pace. You can read more on my care for nervous patients.
Do you offer private dental check-ups?
Yes. I offer thorough private dental check-ups in Iver, with unhurried time to examine your teeth and gums, talk through anything you've noticed, and give honest, no-pressure advice on keeping your mouth healthy.
Do you offer teeth whitening?
Yes. Safe, dentist-led teeth whitening is available using custom-made trays for a brighter, natural-looking smile. I'll check your teeth and gums are healthy first, then guide you through the process at home.
Do you provide dental hygiene appointments?
Yes. Professional dental hygiene appointments help keep your gums healthy and your smile fresh, removing build-up that brushing alone can miss and showing you simple ways to care for your teeth between visits.

Do you see patients from Slough and surrounding areas?
Yes. Patients travel to me from Slough, Langley, Datchet, Colnbrook, Burnham, Gerrards Cross and across the wider area. Many find the short trip to Iver well worth it for calmer, more personal care.
