Review titled Good NHS Dental Services
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Elizabeth Noble - Posted on 19 June 2025
I have been at this dental practice for some time now as an NHS patient. Very happy with everything. My dentist is very nice and puts me at ease. The reception staff are polite, friendly and helpful. They keep me updated by email and text so that appointments are remembered and I check in online prior to the appointment. They also phone the day before to check the appointment is still ok. No complaints at all and I have recommended this dental practice to others.

Review titled Better Care Needed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 June 2025
I visited for a check up appointment back in early April - I advised the dentist of 2 teeth I had concerns with - one sensitivity that seemed to be from a tooth with a filling, and the other was a hole that had formed in my tooth (not causing pain at the time) - the existing filling was repaired and I was booked back in for a check up 8 weeks later which was the next available - over time the hole in my tooth became worse - I continued to clean and take extra care as again it wasn’t causing pain, until a few days before my next check up! I was taking pain meds over the weekend and called ahead of my appointment to advise I now needed an emergency appointment as the pain relief wasn’t taking the pain away and I couldn’t sleep - which was terrible having to work with no sleep! I was advised that the check up appointment I had booked in was the same time as an emergency so just to adviser the dentist when I arrive - however - when I did do this, the dentist was reluctant to help at first as they stated they only had 15 minutes - to do X-rays and I would need to come back - I explained my current situation and in fact got upset that they were not understand of the pain and lack of sleep I was facing day to day - in the end, they offered a temporary filling but didn’t seem to know the best course of treatment for me with confidence - this is not what I am used to as my previous dentist I felt very comfortable with and put me at ease with patience - they would always find a solution - the dentist I saw on this occasion seemed to be anxious about the time and advised how their next patient was already there before we had even started the temporary filling! For me as a patient the reason I was having pain and problems with my tooth is the length of time that it takes to get an appointment where the problem had clearly gotten worse! Now I have a temporary filling and a review appointment in three months time which is ridiculous because the Dentist is aware that I have a problem with my tooth and so temporary should mean a matter of days or a couple of weeks not three months leaving a risk for the problem to get worse And advice that I should call if I experience any pain which should not be on my shoulders it should be a case that the Dentist resolves the issue sooner rather than later to avoid further problems including pain, which is unbearable when it occurs!! I appreciate that there are more patience than the dentists nowadays but the practice should be managed so they’re all patients receive the duty of care that they deserve!!

Review titled Great service as usual
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Dennis - Posted on 13 June 2025
Needed to see a hygienist as recommended by my dentist during the last dental checkup. The whole process of booking for the appointment, to text reminder, to online form filling, to telephone reminder a day before the appointment was straightforward adding to a great service. The team did a great job explaining the plan which made me feel relaxed throughout the treatment.

It helps me a lot that he speaks calmly and in a way that I understand, I really appreciate how he consults me and is patient.

Review titled Great dentist.
Rated 4 stars out of 5

My dentist is really great. My two front teeth are crowns and one broke. I was very nervous about getting it replaced due to matching, size, tone colour etc but my dentist really did an incredible job on this

Review titled Outstanding experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 June 2025
I had an outstanding experience during my appointment! He was not only incredibly professional and thorough, but also remarkably gentle and attentive. From the moment I sat in the chair, they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable, checking in regularly and explaining each step in a clear way. What truly stood out was his friendly, approachable and impressive attention to detail — it made a routine cleaning feel more like a personalized wellness visit.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gina - Posted on 07 May 2025
Hygienist always does a great job & NHS Dentist always welcoming & friendly (when available) and made my Daughter feel safe & comfortable during her first few visits! Receptionists are helpful and kind. Recently I’ve had a problem getting through on my mobile phone and spent lots of wasted hours being held in the waiting system only to find I got through immediately when dialling from a different phone! I don’t know if my number has been blocked or there’s an issue with the phone system but hearing I’m not the only person having trouble. Overall though I highly recommend

Review titled Great dental care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 May 2025
The staff at this practice were amazing. They were very kind, smiling and welcoming. They did dental assessment for me thoroughly and explained my options with gum recession. Hygienist was very good at removing scales, giving good recommendations and feedback on my dental cleaning so that I could improve. I am very happy with the care and would recommend everyone.
