I was suffering from reduced jaw opening and in constant severe pain. Until I met Mr Cascarini, I was beginning to suffer at work and avoiding social get togethers. He gave me the confidence that he could help me. I'm now 4 weeks post-surgery, having had an arthroscopy with BMAC and I am so grateful to Mr Cascarini, his surgical skills and knowledge regarding the TMJ is unquestionable. My recovery process is still in its early days, but I am now relatively pain free, sleeping at night and my jaw opening has doubled, thus allowing me to eat.
-
I had a long history of pain since May 2020 when I developed toothache, ear pain and my face became swollen on one side. My dentist diagnosed bruxism (where you grind, gnash or clench your teeth sometimes in your sleep or unconsciously). Having seen Mr Cascarini, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He is phenomenal very easy to relate to, he understands and is straightforward, an extraordinary man who has given me my life back. Morea and his team have also been amazing and gave me the reassurance I needed. -
Although the surgery is quite involved, I found the whole process (including the surgical recovery) much more straightforward than I had anticipated. This really didn’t feel like a ‘car crash’ surgery: but rather a highly controlled, and relatively pain free one. I attribute this to Mr Cascarini’s skill and gentle approach. I would recommend that anyone suffering from similar jaw problems seek advice and trust Mr Cascarini’s informed opinion: he is conservative in approach and I trust that he would not recommend surgery lightly. -
From the moment I walked into Mr Cascarini’s office I felt I was in safe hands, he made me feel like finally someone understood. He explained my options and I never once felt pressured into having any of the procedures. After the initial healing from surgery I can honestly say I have never felt better, I can eat normally, smile normally and most importantly I feel no pain, Mr Cascarini is a superhero in disguise and someone who I will be eternally grateful too. Thank you! -
I would say to anyone suffering with TMJ conditions is please trust that there is a solution! I was completely floored when the NHS told me I had no chance of going back to a normal pain free life. Mr Cascarini not only gave me hope but he followed through and saved me from having to have complete jaw replacement! He is a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely nice; I cannot thank him or recommend him enough for his innovative and live saving BMAC treatment. -
I would advise anyone with similar concerns to go and see Mr Cascarini. He has a very reassuring manner about him and is very pleasant and easy to talk to. He exudes experience and professionalism – essentially all you want when you go to see someone with a health concern. Whilst I was pleased to have been given the all-clear, I got the feeling that if there had been something wrong, Mr Cascarini would have handled it very well. He’s obviously very good at what he does. -
I didn't really have any choice but to have the operation as I couldn't continue as it was. It sounded pretty dramatic when it was explained to me what was to be done and was rather more than I expected (I thought the tumour would just be removed) but in fact it has turned out very well. I wouldn't hesitate to commend Mr Cascarini for the way he did this and the operation has been a real success. Others, if concerned, needn't be if my experience is anything to go by. -
From my very first contact with Mr Cascarini's office I have received the highest level of care and received detailed information at all stages. I was amazed to be undergoing surgery barely 6 weeks after my initial consultation and delighted with the improvements. Even two weeks post-surgery my life feels very different and I am looking forward to a celebratory Valentine’s Day meal with my partner, something unimaginable a month ago. I would undergo this surgery again in a heartbeat, although I have every confidence that I will not need to, thanks to Mr Cascarini's knowledge and skill. Thank you so much. -
My jaw is now feeling so much better! I can eat fully now which is amazing and I no longer have the worry of my jaw locking again. Overall, I have been so grateful for the care, advice and treatment Mr Cascarini has given. My case was not a simple one and he was determined that I would be “fixed: one way or another”. I can’t recommend him enough and on top of all of the professionalism he is a genuinely nice guy! -
My advice to patients with similar symptoms is to go and see Mr Cascarini and get the BMAC treatment if that’s what is recommended as this seems to have done the trick for me. I am over the moon about my treatment. I’ve gone from having no life to having a life. It was very miserable before and how I feel now is amazing in comparison. I think Mr Cascarini is amazing, he really is. He’s been nothing but sweet and caring, he is an amazing doctor. -
I had suffered with problems with my jaw for years, I was always told it would be fine or it would fix itself. I had very limited opening of my jaw, which limited what I could eat, so I decided I could not wait, and I sought out urgent help. I would suggest those with TMJ problems to seek help with Mr Cascarini and his team sooner rather than later. -
Don’t give up hope, see Mr Cascarini as he is literally the best. He gave me hope where I had no hope. He is very professional but also friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend BMAC, friends I have on the facebook group for TMJ conditions can’t believe how amazing I look after 3 weeks. -
No words can explain how much I want to thank Mr Cascarini. He made the whole thing less scary and I never felt what I was going on was as enormous as it in fact was. When you walk into his clinic you are 100% his focus. Anyone who gets to see him should consider themselves extremely lucky. Please go to the dentist, if I hadn’t, my tumour wouldn’t have been spotted and I may not have been so fortunate to have made a full recovery. -
In December 2017 a very rare tumour was found to be setting up camp in my jaw bone and I was so lucky to have found it when I did! It was the month before that I got introduced to Mr Luke Cascaraini and this is my way of being able to give something back to the amazing team at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital. Especially the head and neck cancer team, of which Mr Cascarini is a part. He has literally held my life (and face) in his hands 8 times in the last 14 months. He’s removed my tumour, my lower left jaw, wired my jaw shut, unwired it and then went on to rebuild my face using... -
I am very grateful for the kindness and caring nature of Mr Cascarini. From my first consultation I was confident that I could let this doctor operate on my jaw and throughout my various procedures and consultations I always felt there was enough time to discuss any concerns or queries I may have and I felt confident that the best options for treatment were being offered at all times. It hasn’t been the easiest journey but both Mr Cascarini and his Practice Manager have made the past year a lot easier due to their knowledge, kindness and helpful nature. Thank you!

After many years of suffering with Osteoarthritis of my TMJ joints I saw many consultants about what could be done but I was met with you just have to live with it. I then saw Mr Cascarini who understood exactly how I felt and treated me accordingly. After several interventions with much care and attention Mr Cascarini conducted a bilateral joint reconstruction which went without a fault and I have recovered exceedingly well. For which I am for ever grateful

I had a very traumatic cycling accident on the 28 th May 2018. I sustained a severe, dislocated break of my jaw, devastatingly lost or irreparably damaged four of the most prominent teeth in my mouth (my left incisor through to my right canine) and fractured the spinous process of my C5 vertebra. My face was unrecognizable and I was in extreme pain. Mr Luke Cascarini worked together as part of a very caring and professional team with my dentist, Dr Gaynor Langley, and endodontist, Mr Simon Cunnington, to map-out and execute a remarkable reconstruction of my jaw and lay the foundations for the reconstruction of my teeth. My jaw was extremely displaced with multiple fractures, having been both shunted back...
-
After a routine dental appointment my dentist found a lump on my salivary gland and referred me that day to a Maxi Facial Consultant who I went to see. I felt I needed a second opinion for my own peace of mind and was recommended by The King Edward VII Hospital to Mr Luke Cascarini. I went to see him and immediately felt at ease and confident that I was in good hands. I had major surgery in 2013 led by Luke and his team. When I was discharged home I went for regular check up’s which I still do and have always felt that he cares and has time for his patients. I never felt I was just a...

As a private GP I guided my patients to the top specialists. If I made a poor judgement I lost the patient. I myself recently developed a cyst on my upper jaw. This required very delicate and skilled surgical excision. I became a patient of Mr Luke Cascarini. He has the 3 essential ‘A’s of private practice – Availability, Affability and Ability. The same is true for his staff. I could not have been better cared for.I hope I don’t develop another cyst – but I know where I’ll go if I do. And I know who I would recommend to anyone else.
-
I have had the good fortune to be under Mr Cascarini‘s care on two occasions A few years ago I had a challenging tooth extraction under local anaesthetic and recently a further extraction requiring a general anaesthetic. On both occasions I received exemplary care. Mr Cascarini has the ability to instantly put you at your ease he outlines clearly the procedure he intends to carry out and details any possible complications The actual operations on both occasions were complication free and very straightforward It is by no means a solo act as he has an excellent team The anaesthetist and Sloane hospital were faultless and contributed to making the whole procedure as stress free as possible In particular...
-
Mr Cascarini and his team are excellent in every way. Kind, caring and compassionate. I feel very fortunate to be in the hands of such a highly skilled Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. On meeting Mr Cascarini, I realised immediately that I was in very safe and capable hands, which was an absolute blessing, because I had spent the previous 3 months having no success in finding anyone who knew or who could explain to me what had happened to my jaw and what was causing me this pain and discomfort. Mr Cascarini was able to ascertain, at my first appointment, what the problem was with my jaw. An MRI scan which was organised for 2 days later, confirmed that the dislocation...

What can I say about “Dr Luke”? Not enough in this forum, that’s for sure, but I will do my best. If you are reading this because you will be, or are, seeing Luke Cascarini let me tell you that you have the BEST physician taking care of you! Smart, witty, kind and ethical, he goes about his work with compassion and grace. He’s interested in you as a person, an individual…not as just another “case”. He understands that he is not just doing surgery, he is affecting your life(and in many cases, saving it!) and he is willing to make sure he does his best to leave you looking as if that operation had never happened…or maybe even...

It is very rare that you meet someone and instantly feel that you are putting your health into the safest of hands. I had been suffering with facial pain for a couple of years and was diagnosed as having TMJD by my dentist. The issue recently worsened to the extent that I was unable to work on a full-time basis, a job that requires me to speak for up to 8 hours a day. Frustratingly, nobody seemed able to provide me with a solution to the problem, until I met Mr Cascarini, who could see straight away from an MRI scan that I required a bilateral TMJ arthroscopy. At the same time, Mr Cascarini removed a potentially problematic wisdom tooth...
-
I was under Mr Cascarini’s care for a number of years with TMJD. Throughout the duration of my treatment, the level of care I received as well as the kind and knowledgeable approach from him and his colleagues was flawless. I was made aware of what was happening at all times and my mind was put at ease from initial consultation to surgery. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
-
Luke Cascarini is by far the most committed, knowledgeable, caring and patient oriented down to earth consultant I’ve ever met so far. Unfortunately due to other health issues I regularly see a lot of other consultants privately but there is no comparison! I felt like there was finally somebody who could really understand my jaw pains. He was very comforting during the consultation and I felt like I was taken seriously as an individual. He didn’t rush me and was happy to address all my concerns. Very humble for somebody this successful. If I have my jaw plates removed (which is not decided yet due to me having to do for further tests with other consultants and finding the...

I recently underwent arthroscopic surgery with Mr. Cascarini to repair a recurrent dislocation of my jaw. From the initial consultation, through to the surgery and then the follow up assessment, Mr. Cascarini and his wonderful team thoroughly looked after me from beginning to end. I am very pleased with the experience (which was quite enjoyable even though I was having surgery!). I have complete trust in his abilities as a surgeon and I highly recommend him as someone with whom you can rely on for exceptional care and perfection. Thank you.
-
Mr. Cascarini has been nothing short of spectacular. From the first meeting, where all information and expectations were laid bare; to putting into contact myself and renowned specialists. The result has been worth both the wait and travelling, and I couldn’t recommend more that you visit Mr. Cascarini to hear what he has to say.

Mr Cascarini is an absolutely outstanding oral surgeon with a wonderfully personable and caring manner. At the age of 66, I was told by my dentist that I had a decayed, partially erupted wisdom tooth and she said it needed to be removed by an oral surgeon but warned me that there was a risk of permanent nerve damage, particularly because the x-ray and scan showed that the roots of the wisdom tooth were lying directly on a key nerve. Mr Cascarini performed the operation while I was under General Anaesthetic and his exceptional skill ensured that there was no nerve damage at all. There was virtually no pain afterwards, no numbness or tingling, just a slight ache for...

I wanted to write to say thank you to all staff for my surgery. It has been a pleasure to be looked after by your team. Would you be able to pass my thank you to Mr Cascarini as well. The area is healing with no complications or infections, and no pain either. Thank you for the care you put into it, Mr Cascarini. I am very happy to embark on this journey with this wonderful team!

Only high praises for Mr Cascarini and Ms Woodcock! I received great care not only during the procedure but also before and after. Both were very knowledgeable and approachable with a lot of patience for my many before and after questions. Mr Cascarini is an excellent surgeon and I felt safe and at ease with him doing my procedure. Highly recommend! Many thanks to both for being so helpful, patient and understanding with me. All the best!

My local dentist diagnosed a compromised wisdom tooth which was the source of my pain, and suggested the services of Luke Cascarini. As it was in the lower jaw it needed a dental surgeon. I was referred immediately and was seen the very next day. I was booked into the Sloane in Beckenham for the procedure and I cannot praise the whole experience highly enough. Mr Cascarini carried out an impeccable job and all the staff at the Sloane were caring, friendly and professional. One satisfied customer. Thank you
-
We would like to thank you for your support last week on getting a same day consultation for Viktoria and for your extreme kindness. Mr Cascarini referred us to Guy’s hospital for a biopsy although he confirmed he was quite confident she doesn’t appear to have mouth cancer. This whole process helped to reassure her and removed a lot of emotional distress from our life. Again, thank you so much, we highly appreciate!
-
In June 2013 Dr Luke Cascarini was called in by a fellow Surgeon as a specialist oral and maxillofacial head and neck consultant. This was to organize a biopsy and advise treatment for my wife who had been diagnosed with a large tumor under her tongue. From our initial meeting with him we were impressed by his reassuring manor and consideration for my wife’s sever pain and discomfort. Over the next few years Dr Cascarini attended on several occasions my wife during my wife’s treatments for her cancer and ill health. He was again called upon in April 2016 when sadly a new tumor was located under her chin. His considered advice in treating this recurrent condition was a relative new concept...
-
My experience of Mr Cascarini and his team was one of the utmost Professionalism. After 3 years of recurrent sinus and teeth problems and ongoing investigations I had complete confidence in Mr Cascarini’s surgical skill and expertise. The explanation of the surgical procedure and after care advice was clear and helpful while his personal secretary was courteous and efficient in response to my queries. I would happily recommend Mr Cascarini to anyone considering or requiring Oral or Maxillo-Facial surgery.
-
Carla and Luke are the A team! Carla is the first call that I made to this very special practice. I immediately knew that the my first meeting with Luke was going to be positive professional and personal . She made me feel immediately at ease and that my problems would be well coped with. Luke Cascarini is undoubtedly an excellent diagnostician, a holistic practitioner and a dedicated surgeon but above this he is a caring kind human being. I have been a patient of his for 3 years, he has always been there for me. In the bad times he went the extra mile , beyond all calls of duty, to try to help my intractable pain....

Over the past few years the ability to open my mouth to eat was reducing to such a state that I could not even get a single slice of bread into it would having to cut up what I was eating. I had seen several specialists both in the middle east and in the UK all of which left me with a feeling that my life would never be as it once was – All until I was referred to Mr Luke Cascarini. From the moment I had my first consultation his straight talking explanations filled me with confidence and trust. He spent time on each option I could take, guided and supported me, and for the first time...
-
I’ve undergone many surgeries in my lifetime and I can honestly say Mr Cascarini is probably the best I’ve been treated by. He’s kind caring and takes time to know his patients. He includes you in every step of your care and treatment. He listens to your concerns and opinions and advises according to your case. I had bilateral jaw joint replacements in one operation and it was scary going into it, a hideous ordeal at the time, and I now believe it’s the best thing I ever did. I got my life back and it is due to Mr Cascarini’s fantastic work.
-
Mr Cascarini operated on my jaw where I have fibrous dysplasia three weeks ago. I feel very lucky to have found him and the process from beginning to end was so much easier and more successful than I could have expected. Carla Woodcock, his personal assistant was more than helpful and kind throughout. Thank you to you both.
-
I would highly recommend Luke Cascarini and the treatment I received under his care. Following a tongue biopsy indicating some severely dysplastic cells, I was referred to Mr. Cascarini – his knowledge, expertise and professionalism combined with his lovely personal style gave me immediate confidence and reassurance that I was in the right hands. He flexed his diary to see me at short notice (aided by his extremely competent and responsive assistant!), and made sure my surgery was scheduled for the earliest possible date. The surgery itself was straightforward and the scar remaining from the removal of a not insignificant portion of my tongue, is virtually non-existent. The after care has also been very attentive. As well as...
-
Taking biophosphate infusions for osteoporosis had potentially dire consequences for my jaw bones. One doesn’t look forward to operations, especially on the jaw, but Mr Cascarini and his staff were so calm and super-professional that I had total confidence in them. Everything went very smoothly and even painlessly!

After two years of pain and discomfort, which no other medical professional was able to treat, I am finally pain free – thanks to Dr Cascarini. The entire process from my initial consultation to surgery, was extremely efficient, and Dr Cascarini was patient, kind and helpful throughout. I really can’t recommend him highly enough!
-
Doctor Luke Cascarini was a huge help to me & the condition I was suffering with when many others simply said that nothing could be done. He was professional and friendly throughout while always listening to my input into the condition. He was able to treat my condition quickly and effectively. It is now up to me to build on the great work he has started. I hope to not need to see him again but if I do; I would do so without a second thought! Thank You!! Kindest Regards James Marshall
