After more than 10 years of experiencing less than professional (but very expensive), care at a succession of private treatment dentists, I have, at last, found one to whom I can entrust the care of my teeth. Mr Maarten Tonsbeek, at the Dental Care Centre in Canterbury, has transformed my teeth, to the extent that people are actually complimenting me on my "nice teeth". Initially, one is greeted at the surgery by the very friendly/nice receptionist, Debbie, who organises appointments in a very efficient manner, and puts patients at ease before treatment. I have now completed a long programme of treatment, during which Maarten has provided the best advice and dental care I've ever experienced. He explains the dental work in detail and the result of the subsequent treatment speaks for itself. Yes, private dental care is expensive, but, if carried out properly, it is something that is an investment in building ones long term well-being and self-confidence. If you want to be able to smile without worrying about unsightly teeth, then don't hesitate to arrange an appointment at the Dental Care Centre.

I have been using this practice since it opened and have had Maarten as my dentist for over 25 years. During this time my treatment has been excellent. He is not only very professional but an exceptional dentist. My teeth have been a challenge from day one due to my previous reluctance to attend however Maarten has changed all that. All the team are excellent and welcoming. I would highly recommend the practice to anyone.

I have been a patient with the Dental Care Centre for many years and have always found the dental treatment to be of an exemplary standard and the staff to be highly professional and approachable. Lynn on reception is always very helpful and very supportive, especially where patients may be anxious. This is replicated by Marten and his most excellent dental nurse - procedures are clearly explained, methods used very up to date and efficient and when needed patient well being is a priority. Although I would prefer to be an NHS patient I have not attempted to leave this practice as the standard of care, materials used and professional attitudes are well worth the cost! Thankyou to the team!

I was recommended Dental Care Centre and all I can say is, it exceeded my expectations. I am a nervous patient and have been looking for a dentist who I can trust and feel comfortable with and my experience was just that. I’ll start from the beginning when I was greeted by Debbie the receptionist, what a warming, friendly lady who instantly made me feel at ease. Then when it was my time I was greeted by Stephanie (dentist) and Ann (nurse). Both ladies were welcoming, warm and at one point I had forgotten I was at a dental practice. The friendly vibe and atmosphere was exactly what I have been looking for and my whole experience was a pleasure, something I never thought I’d say about a dental visit. I can’t express enough thank you to all three ladies. Anyone looking for an honest, friendly dental practice, this is it.

I’ve been going to Dental Care Centre for 6 years now and Maarten and his team have been fantastic. He has done a lot of work on my teeth and it’s been excellent every time. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Lynn in reception is friendly, reassuring and compassionate. Would definitely recommend this dental practice.
