About Woodberry Down Dental Practice
A family-run practice built on trust, care, and community.
Woodberry Down Dental Practice has been caring for patients on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park since 1983. What began as a single-dentist practice has grown into a team of ten clinicians offering a comprehensive range of NHS and private treatments, all under one roof. The practice remains independently owned and run, which means every decision is made by the people who treat you.

Our Story
More than four decades of dentistry in North London is not something that happens by accident. It is the result of a consistent commitment to the same principles that guided the practice from the beginning: honest care, clinical excellence, and treating every patient as an individual.
The practice has grown steadily through word of mouth and patient referrals rather than advertising. That is something the team is proud of. It reflects the trust patients place in the practice and the relationships built over years of continued care. Many of the patients we see today were referred by patients we have treated for decades.
In recent years the practice has undergone a full refurbishment, creating a calm, modern environment that reflects the standard of care provided inside. The six-surgery clinic is equipped with in-house CBCT scanning, OPG X-ray, and the latest clinical technology, all within a setting designed to feel welcoming rather than clinical.
What We Believe
Prevention first The most effective dentistry is the kind that stops problems before they start. We focus on prevention at every appointment, from routine check-ups to personalised home care advice, because keeping teeth healthy long term is always better than treating problems once they arise.
Personalised treatment No two patients are the same. We take time to understand what each patient wants, what concerns them, and what their long-term goals are. Treatment plans are built around the individual, not a standard protocol.
Patient comfort We know that dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously. From the pace of appointments to sedation for patients who need it, everything we do is designed to make treatment feel manageable. Many of our most loyal patients came to us having avoided the dentist for years.
Striving to improve The team invests continuously in postgraduate training, new techniques, and clinical development. This is reflected in the range of treatments available at the practice, from routine general dentistry to dental implants, Invisalign, facial aesthetics, and full mouth restorations.
Community and trust Woodberry Down has always been part of the local community. The patients we treat are our neighbours, and we approach every appointment with the care and honesty we would want for our own families.
Led by Dr Neil Shah
Woodberry Down is led by principal dentist Dr Neil Shah (GDC 114773, BDS Manc 2007), who followed his father into dentistry and has been at the heart of the practice ever since. Neil was a finalist for Best Young Dentist London at the Dentistry Magazine Awards in 2013 and was Highly Commended as Practice Principal at the Private Dentistry Awards in 2024.
The practice is supported by a team of GDC registered clinicians covering general dentistry, implants, endodontics, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, facial aesthetics, sedation, and hygiene.

We understand you may have questions before booking. Here are some of the most common.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells fitted over the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. At Woodberry Down Dental Practice, veneers are carefully crafted to enhance the look of your smile, offering a natural and long-lasting solution for chipped, stained, or uneven teeth.
How do dental veneers work?
At Woodberry Down Dental Practice, dental veneers work by bonding ultra-thin porcelain or composite layers to the front of your teeth. This process masks discolouration, closes small gaps, and corrects uneven edges. The result is a polished and durable finish that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Can veneers change the shape of my teeth?
Yes. Veneers at Woodberry Down Dental Practice can alter the length, width, and overall shape of your teeth. This allows your dentist to achieve a more balanced and harmonious smile while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
