Reviews & Testimonials

“Thanks to Fiona for her services, support and friendship today. Totally excellent as always!”
Kenneth
“I have recently completed a lengthy course of orthodontic treatment with Ben and can highly recommend him. I did a lot of homework before I chose Ben and I made the right decision. Everything was clearly explained, pricing was transparent and competitive and the results are even better than I hoped for. The staff at the surgery are all pleasant and cheerful. I don’t often write reviews but a first class service and experience is rare these days and I wanted to recognise it for other potential customers.”
W Evans
“Fantastic dentist. Having not had any major dental work done for many years, I was slightly nervous at the prospect. Ben takes the time to explain and reassure you throughout every treatment. He demonstrates such care and compassion and clearly wants the best outcome for his patients. Thank you Ben and team.”
Carl Carter

Today l had an emergency appt with Hazel.. again..despite my fears...warm.. caring treatment.. reception and nurses are all the same.. highly recommend from (now) a fearless patient.”
Jeannie Stirling
“I've been with NHS dentists my whole life and it contributed to me avoiding dental appointments due to bad experiences. I decided to go here and its been great. The staff on the front desk are really friendly and helpful, and the dental work was done incredibly efficiently and painlessly, and feels of a higher standard than I've had from other places. A much nicer experience in the chair than I've had in the past!”
