- ABOUT US
Experience Dentistry Differently in the Heart of Fulham.
We believe a healthy, beautiful smile starts with a comfortable and trusting relationship.
Pearly Whites is a family-owned NHS and private dental practice on Munster Road in Fulham SW6. Led by Founder and Principal Dentist Dr. Lia Melconian alongside her husband Grant Goodstein as Managing Director, we were founded with one clear mission: to provide exceptional patient care where you feel genuinely looked after, not processed through a system.
The practice was previously known as Perfect Smile Fulham. It was acquired and thoughtfully transformed by Dr. Lia and Grant, rebuilding the practice from the ground up with a renewed focus on patient-centred care, modern facilities, and a simple belief that visiting the dentist should feel calm, clear, and well-organised from the moment you arrive.
We know that no one looks forward to a dental appointment, and we take that seriously. Our practice is designed to feel warm and welcoming, not intimidating. Patients are greeted by name, appointments are unhurried, and time is taken to listen. We don’t just treat teeth, we build lasting relationships based on trust and a shared goal of achieving your healthiest, most confident smile.
Using modern digital technology, our dentists can show you what’s happening with your teeth, not just tell you, so you fully understand your oral health and treatment options. We combine state-of-the-art precision with a distinctly human touch, ensuring your visits are seamless, your treatments are accurate, and you feel understood and at ease every step of the way.
We’re proud to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation, ensuring every member of our team is fairly compensated. It’s part of our commitment to running an ethical, values-led practice that reflects the principles we hold as a family business.
We care for patients from across Fulham and nearby areas including Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Chelsea, and Hammersmith. Some have trusted us with their care for many years, while others are joining us for the first time and looking for a dentist they can rely on long-term.
Our Approach to Dentistry
Our approach combines clinical excellence with genuine warmth, clear communication, and care that is always tailored to the individual.
Clear advice without pressure
We take time to explain what we see and what your options are. You're never rushed into treatment. We believe good decisions come from understanding, not persuasion. Every recommendation we make is one we would confidently give to our own loved ones.
A calm and welcoming environment
From reception to the treatment room, we aim to make you feel comfortable and listened to. This matters especially if you feel nervous about dental visits. Our team is dedicated to creating an atmosphere where anxiety melts away.
Modern tools that support better care
We use digital technology including digital scanning and imaging to show you what's happening with your teeth. This helps with accuracy, planning, and confidence in your treatment choices. However, we never let technology overshadow the importance of human connection.
Preventative care that protects your smile
Our focus is on helping you maintain a healthy smile for life through regular care, education, and early intervention. We're proud to offer flexible appointment scheduling and payment options that make consistent dental care accessible and rewarding.
A Practice Built for Families and Professionals
For families in Fulham
We care for children (and are currently accepting children on the NHS, important in SW6 where NHS dental access is limited), parents, and grandparents under one roof. Our team focuses on prevention, gentle care, and positive early experiences for younger patients that shape how they feel about dentistry for life.
For busy professionals
We understand work schedules and time pressure. We offer early morning appointments from 8am, lunchtime slots, and evening appointments until 8pm, with efficient service and clear treatment planning so dental care fits into your life without disruption. Spread the cost over manageable monthly payments and book appointments when they actually suit you.
