My husband was so very grateful to have been seen today, not once but twice. First appt was 8.50 to assess a broken tooth and then asked to return at 11am to rebuild the broken tooth. Friendly and professional and more importantly, a pain free procedure. Very grateful to all at Pennypot Deal, thank you.

I have suffered with major anxiety and fear of dentists since I was very young. However, I had a bad tooth that I had to get looked at and I was recommended Pennypot Deal. I can honestly say this is such a lovely surgery, all the staff I encountered are kind, caring and helpful. I had to have a tooth removed which I've never had done awake (only under sedation) and they talked everything through with me, held my hand and made it as easy as possible for me to cope with it. The two dentists who did my procedure are superb and I really felt looked after. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Pennypot dental enough. The best dental surgery I’ve been to. They have been fantastic. Quick services, very kind and reassuring. Fantastic staff and the dentist Syed Ahmed has been so helpful. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I am very grateful for the speedy, amazing treatment I have received at Pennypot Deal. I have now had to have several emergency appointments over the years and I am always amazed at how they have managed to get me sorted and pain free very quickly. The staff are always very kind and polite and I feel so very lucky to be a patient at this remarkable practice.

I've had two appointments here so far, and won't be going back to my old Dental Practice. The staff are incredibly nice, thorough and fantastic at what they do! Thanks for sorting me out! Highly recommend.

Had my first hygienist appointment with lia today, she was amazing from start to finish. I was super nervous as I’ve not had this done before and my teeth can be a little sensitive, but she reassured me the whole time and made the experience great! Thank you so much Burgate dental. I now feel at ease to go ahead with the rest of my treatment plan.

I have no words to describe the exceptional service I receive from the team, and especially from Dr. Ioannis, the dentist. He took on a patient with numerous dental issues and, with patience and perseverance, is working diligently to improve the situation. So far, I am completely satisfied with their services and care. Another noteworthy aspect is that both Dr. Ioannis and the staff are incredibly polite, kind, and always willing to help.

Lucy, the hygienist, efficiently assisted by Alison, did a thorough job of cleaning my teeth. What I especially noticed was that there was absolutely no physical pain in the process- a really precision job! I was also given specific advice regarding care for my wisdom teeth. For those that find visiting a dentist practice daunting, there is the bonus of being in a beautiful and ancient building with the best views of the Cathedral! I recommend this Practice.

Have been very uncomfortable at dentists all my life with several bad experiences. Had a snapped tooth that quickly got infected. Called Laurel House, got an appointment the next day and within an hour of entering the practice I’m leaving with a lovely capped tooth and no pain. Dental wizards. In regards to pricing as far as private dentists go they are so reasonably priced. You really get first class service without paying extortionate prices. I’m not normally one for leaving reviews but I am that impressed I felt compelled to do so. If you don’t like dentists or have had bad previous experiences give these guys a call. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

An excellent practice with a gentle, caring approach coupled with considerable expertise. All staff members are courteous and accommodating. Unfortunately I was recently transferred to the Southbank Sedation and Implant Centre, due to my regular dentist being on sick leave. The Southbank Centre could learn some valuable lessons from Laurel practice, particularly those associated with respect, communication and empathy. Thank goodness I am now back under the care of Laurel.

I have had regular check ups, hygienist treatment, veneers, fillings and one wisdom tooth extraction, over the course of many years I might add! Stuart and team are indeed caring, patient, gentle, careful, friendly and very professional.The quality of service is very high in my view considering that the cost of this service is reasonable. When I have needed an urgent appointment then one has been made available. I would highly recommend Laurel House Dental Practice.

I’m an extremely nervous patient at a dentist and after moving to the area was dreading my first visit for a filling. I should not have worried. All the staff are wonderful and are extremely caring. No pain was felt at any time and almost looking forward to my return visit!

Lawrence is a very gentle dentist who has painlessly looked after my teeth for 40 years. A dentist who actually makes me smile! I should have given this review a long time ago - sorry. Likewise, Anthea is an excellent hygienist - always leaving my teeth sparkling. Sam is such a nice practice manager taking time to enquire as to my well being. What a great team - more like a family! Great job all of you at Castle St Dentist. Thankyou.

I have recently registered with this dental practice after a very traumatic registration and appointment with one closer to my home. I am a very nervous patient when it comes to Dentists and I think the last one I registered with and ended up cancelling my next appointment with left me with such anxieties I can't explain. I attended my registration and check up with this practice yesterday and the staff were so friendly upon arriving, I felt a little at ease when I got in to the waiting room just by the receptionist, then the Dentist came out and called me in, he was so friendly and calming and I felt so at ease from the time I got in there, I was a little tense to start with but both the Dentist and his nurse were so kind, reassuring and professional and I was so grateful to them both and the front of house staff for making my first visit such a relaxed one. I feel I have definitely chosen the best Dental Practice to be with and look forward to having future visits with the knowledge that I am at ease and around a friendly professional service. Thankyou so very much to all the staff and also all the great reviews on here which lead me to deciding to register with this practice. I would highly recommend registering as the ease of process was amazing, I'd give this eternal stars if I could.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Laurence and all the staff at Castle Street. Laurence is incredibly warm and reassuring, put me at complete ease, and got treatment sorted for me right away. The best dentist I have ever been to.

Really brilliant experience with Appletree. Was referred to Mr Williams their specialist for a re-root canal. Both treatments were calm and pain free, no issues or problems! Staff are lovely and facility is very clean and modern. Would highly recommend!

Due to a bad experience at another dentist i have been quite anxious about attending for treatment. However, Rita at Appletree has been so amazing. She is calm and explains what she is doing. Both her and the team were so friendly. Definitely recommend them

Brilliant reception. So accommodating and friendly. Saw the dentist promptly and on time. Such a fantastic practitioner. So knowledgeable and capable. Extremely reassuring as I still have a bit of dentist phobia. The whole practice makes my checkups stress free

Dr. Antoinette Angelo and her team, the wonderful Maraj and Kayleigh are fantastic! I’ve been made to feel completely comfortable and at ease through all of the work that I required and each of the appointments were performed to an extremely high level with reassurance at every moment. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again!

It was my first visit to Chopra. I had a warm welcome by the reception staff. The hygienist and her nurse was wonderful. I am usually nervous at dentists. I was made to feel comfortable. Clear and reassuring communication about each procedure. I had an exceptional clean and good advice about care at home. Good value for money I will be back

I went to have a broken wisdom tooth out so was very worried about it. I was referred from my dentist as it needed a surgeon to get the broken tooth out. I thought the dentist was fantastic, she explained everything at each stage. I had no pain at all. I thought she was very proficient and professional. I have had no problems since and would not hesitate to go there again. Her assistant was great too.

I've had a tooth removed, a few fillings and a deep clean here after not having a dentist for years, these guys have been brilliant so far. I don't think anybody finds a needle to the gums fun but having a filling done here isn't a scary experience, my first one only brought a small amount of pain whilst the last 2 were painless besides the needle. Reception staff are also lovely and can often book you in fairly quick, even if you can only attend very specific hours. Highly recommend with my only complaint being there's no parking but that's just Canterbury, there's a couple pay & display bays a 5 minute walk in either direction.

Rating: 5 / 5

I really liked the dentist and nurse. They were warm, friendly and informative, as well as patient with my young daughter. A little hidden gem in Canterbury, not that going to the dentist is supposed to be fun, but they made it stress free.

The service quality was very good, they booked me in for a consultation and because they had time they also did my tooth filling straightaway after. Dr Amar Arjuna was very knowledgeable and helpful, ready to answer all of my questions. I didn't feel any kind o pain during the procedure as he was very attentive and light handed. Modern and clean premises. Overall great experience! Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

I was amazed that my two brown mis-shapen teeth at the front could be improved so easily and efficiently by composite bonding. I had not heard of the process until recently, but Dr Arjuna transformed my front teeth within an hour! I totally recommend his service. Also his prices are cheaper than others I have researched.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fabulous team and fabulous results. Dr Amar has been amazing, he has ultimate professionalism and relentless attention to detail! The whole team really know how to care for my teeth and sort things out pain free. Really great experience and I look forward to seeing them time and time again. Have recommended to lots of friends and family!

The girls at SS beauty are fantastic. Had my very first lash lift done by Prabi and she was super professional and I couldn’t be happier with my results. Can’t recommend them enough !! I’ll be going back again for sure

I am very nervous when it comes to dentists, and in particular needles. However, Derek and his lovely dental nurses and receptionists were so warm and welcoming they made it feel as if I were being treated by old friends, I've never felt more at ease in a dentist's chair. To say I am happy with my new mouth is an understatement, it feels so good not to have to cover my mouth when laughing, or feel ashamed of my smile. Thank you 1st Impressions would gladly recommend

I have been coming to this practice for a number of years now. I cannot recommend this dental practice enough. Derek and his team are thorough and always provide great advice and service. Derek really puts you at ease. Pricing is also very reasonable. Hands down the best dentist I have had.

Rating: 5 / 5

I have been a patient at Derek's dental practice for several years, and I can confidently say that Derek and his team are the kindest most responsive team. From the moment you walk through the door, they make you feel valued and always go above and beyond to ensure you receive the best care possible. Thanks to their fabulous treatment, I have received the best dental care and overcome my fear of dental procedures. I highly recommend Derek and his team to anyone seeking a positive and supportive dental experience.

Rating: 5 / 5

I attended a first appointment today and cannot praise Derek enough.He listened, took extra time to fill my tooth and scale and polish.I didn't feel the needles at all which was fantastic. The whole experience with all staff was friendly,efficient,relaxed and I wish I had made the decision sooner.I can't recommend 1st-Impressions highly enough and am so grateful.

I’ve been with this surgery for many years and have always been impressed with the warm welcome and efficient team. If you’re looking for a hygienist, look no further than Nikki! She’s kind, caring, gives great hygiene advice and is overall excellent at her job. I always come out with a healthy and spotlessly clean set of teeth!! Thanks Nikki!

After seeing George’s work on a close friend of mine, it made me want to improve my smile so I booked a composite bonding consultation where George was very professional and explained the process and what to expect. I decided to proceed with the composite bonding only treatment and a month later, I have just finished my last appointment. I was really impressed with the how well the bonding matched my teeth and the shape looks very natural. I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone considering composite bonding. The results exceeded my expectations! Thank you George and the team.

I recently received treatment from Mr Miller for an emergency root filling. He fitted me in the same day unlike any other practice in the area. I am terrified of dentists but he immediately put me at ease with his caring and kind manner and great sense of humour. I can understand why he is so busy and several other patients in the waiting room commented on what a great dentist he is. The reception staff and nurses were all very pleasant, happy and couldn’t do more to make me feel at ease. What a great team! I’ll definitely be back and recommend to friends and family. Thanks Mr Miller and team.

I have always been an incredibly nervous patient when it comes to the dentist, therefore I have put a visit off for years. Finally succumbing to the wobble of my wisdom tooth I started my research on finding the best place for me to go. West Malling Dental was by far the stand out of the crowd. I had an appointment booked within a day of me calling, so only 24 hours of working myself up! From the moment that I walked through the door to be greeted by an incredibly sympathetic Tina I felt more at ease. Tina reassured me that I was going to be well looked after, and in all honesty, I was. David sat down with me and we talked about what my concerns are and what makes me feel nervous about the dentist. He listened and really took the time to understand, and was incredibly open and honest with me in return. David and the lovely dental nurse Emily, stayed late so I could have the extraction, rather than me come back another day, which I was very grateful for. From the first point of the examination, to having the numbing injections, to the x-rays, and then to the moment the tooth was out I was petrified, but I was so incredibly well cared for. I cannot really put it into words as to how I actually feel. For some a trip to the dentist is an ordeal but for me in the past it has been traumatic and has become a genuine fear. Yesterday, the fear was faced head on and David, Emily and Tina recognised that and did absolutely everything they could to put me at ease and reassure me. I cannot praise them enough. They are all truly wonderful people.

At my dentist in margate I had a appointment and I dread the dentist I am so nervous but dr Bader Ahmed was fantastic he was so gentle and kind and I could have wished for a better dentist

Have been coming to this dentist for a few years now as a family of 5 we have no complaints. Helpful receptionists, nurses and our dentist is superb! Absolutely fantastic with all 3 of our children they are never worried, put at ease and generally like coming and seeing the dentist. Dentist is friendly, kind and funny towards the children. No complaints here feel very lucky to not only have a dentist in the current climate but a fantastic one too!

I recently had a Wisdom tooth extraction at My Dentist, Margate, which I was dreading, having had a very painful experience at another dentist whilst having a similar procedure. Fortunately I didn’t feel any pain, or discomfort during my appointment with Dr Ayub. I can recommend practice for their very professional and caring approach to patients.
