The Best Dentists in Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Excellent, professional, great customer service. I am having full mouth all on 4 dental implants. After losing a top front tooth and an upcoming wedding to attend to, they have bent over backwards to complete my uppers in good time for the wedding to which I am truly grateful. Surgery was swift and painless, fortunately I have no bruising and very minimal swelling which has now gone completely (day 3).

Banning dental surgery is amazing. I haven't had my treatment yet but I am going through my consultations. They have made me feel so welcome and at ease as I do get very anxious. Everybody is so nice right down to the receptionist. I actually look forward to going.

My wife and I have been coming to this practice for many years now, and the professional and personal treatment that we have both received has always been first class. It is a pleasure coming to this office. The entire staff is great!

Really impressed by the team at Carbasse Implant & Dental Centre. Following a laughable experience at a so called leading clinic in Chestfield. I assure you that Carbasse are the real deal. I had an initial consultation with Marc Carbasse during which time he was was able to extract a tooth that had been broken down to gum level in two minutes flat. No drama, no pain and no discomfort whatsoever. I was given a treatment plan that works for me, competitively priced. Two days after the initial consultation and extraction I had an appointment with their Dental Hygienist who was equally impressive. She did a great job. I’m due back to see Marc in around twelve weeks time for CT scans to ensure they have room to carry out the implants without endangering any nerves in my jaw. Fingers crossed they can go ahead with the implants. One lower jaw and one upper on opposite sides of my mouth. Thank you Marc and your team. Friendly reception team and pleasant atmosphere. All in all a fantastic experience. Sam A.

Great communication, kindness and humour throughout my initial consultation and procedure to install posts for implants. Mark explained everything clearly and seemed very knowledgeable and confident. The team assisting him were great ( Sophie and Tim? Sorry bad memory!! ) The procedure was quite long, over an hour but it never felt too long, lots of breaks. No pain at all. Good instructions for post operative care at home.

I transferred to Carbasse from another local practice and have found the experience excellent in every respect. I registered with Tomas and, over the past year have had a number of significant procedures including a very difficult root extraction, several fillings and a dental implant. Tomas’ manner, skill, attention to detail and communication has been exemplary on every occasion and certainly my best ever experience of dentistry. The dental nurses, especially Ashley, have also been superb and the front desk reception staff are kind, knowledgeable and highly efficient. A really outstanding practice in all respects which I would recommend without hesitation.

I had not been to a dentist for 4 years and feel lucky that Carbasse was recommended to me. I had my initial appointment with Laura in April where a treatment plan was discussed in detail regarding options available to me. After a number of visits the treatment is now finished and I have the most amazing new smile. I wish I had seen her years ago. I must not forget to mention the other staff from reception to hygienists who are also all amazing. They really are a happy, friendly professional team.

I have been a patient at St Dunstan's for nearly 20 years. I have always received the utmost care and attention from Aisha (my dentist) and the whole team. I would recommend this practice most highly.

After an absolutely shocking poor level of service and communication from a different private dentist it was a huge relief to find the St Dunstans Practice. In particular, all the receptionists, dental nurses and Dr Surinder have gone out of their way to accommodate us. Perhaps most importantly there has been clear concise communication resulting in real trust leading to excellent outcomes and some very timely pre Christmas treatment. Apologies for accidentally only giving a one star review first time...5 star is order of the day....

Everything about this Practice is excellent. I have been a patient there for many years, over 20 of which have been with dental surgeon Ian Small who is brilliant. Additionally, my hygienist Christina is first rate, and all the nursing and reception staff are always very professional, friendly and helpful.

I’ve been a patient at St Dunstan’s Dental Practice for some time now, and I’m incredibly grateful for the exceptional care I’ve received. After Martin Kelleher, the senior consultant dentist for restorative dental treatment at Kings College Hospital London, retired from private practice, he highly recommended Ian Small at St Dunstan’s. I couldn’t be more pleased with this recommendation. Ian is always thorough, considerate, and takes the time to explain his treatment plan in detail, ensuring I feel fully informed and comfortable throughout each visit. In addition to Ian, Sam, the hygienist, has also been fantastic. She is efficient, thorough, and the attention to detail in her work is excellent and I always feel well cared for. The reception staff are consistently friendly and helpful, making scheduling appointments and addressing any concerns a smooth and pleasant experience. Overall, I am very satisfied with the care at St Dunstan’s Dental Practice and would highly recommend the practice to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

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

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.

The appointment was for my daughter. Dr Ayub was patient, gentle and put my daughter at ease. The nurses and receptionists were also very kind and friendly. I would rate them all highly

I can't recommend this dentist enough it's fantastic. Very happy with my recent work carried out by my dentist Patrycja she put my mind at ease as i was pretty nervous. 👍🏻

I recently had to attend the dentist as an emergency, the receptionists are so friendly and do whatever they can to help I normally see De but she wasn’t in. I saw a lovely lady I think her name was Geta she was absolutely fantastic, understanding, caring I felt at ease straight way. I’ve always been terrified of the dentist and stopped going I ended up with bad tooth ache and found Egans they really are wonderful people. Thank you so much.

I hate hate hate the dentist. I didn’t go for years then I found a dentist that put you out. I went to him for 36 years . I moved to Birchington 2 years ago . It took me three attempts to keep my appointment. I have been three times and I can’t believe it. I am no longer afraid. The minute you step into the reception it’s calm and friendly. I go to the lovely Dee who has really put me at my ease I actually come out smiling. Only wish I had found a dentist like this years ago my teeth would be in a much better state. Can’t praise this dentist enough. 😀

These days I would only leave a review if after a few days or so, I am still impressed. So ten days on, here I am, still impressed. I had a molar root canal treament with Aisling Quinn. Aisling is very knowledgeable, thorough and her approach is calm and reassuring. She immediately put me at ease and before I knew it, she was done and my tooth has been very comfortable since. I highly recommend her. Thank you Aisling and thank you to her nurse as well. S

I use The Smile Centre for the dentist, for dental hygiene appointments. I cannot express how good Lindsey Peddle is at her job - I'm a bit of a nervous patient (through no fault of hers) and she is reassuring, kind and explains everything in such an easy to understand manner. I go in nervous, but come out so happy with the result and the exemplary service I get. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to keep their teeth clean and sparkling, she is simply great!

I’ve always had excellent dental care from the Smile Centre and rang on Monday needing an appointment as soon as possible. I was given one with Atul Shankar the following day. I was very impressed that he outlined the various options, including the simplest and least invasive treatment which I was very happy to agree to. I was a very happy patient. Thank you

We arrived in Ramsgate 9 days ago and I got a bad toothache because a tooth had broken over a long time and had grown into the gums. Now of all times it was making itself felt. We found help here straight away. Everything went smoothly. The whole team around Derek Watson was really great, friendly, uncomplicated and very knowledgeable. The doctor had to pull the tooth. He did this really quickly and painlessly. Even after the anaesthetic I didn't feel any pain and was given an appropriate dose of antibiotics before and after. I can really recommend this practice.

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.

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.

Thanks for all the help you gave me. With my Tooth extraction. All the staff are great 👍 Make me feel calm .I suffer essential tremors Very kind and very professional .

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.

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.

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 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’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!

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.

I always struggled to find a descent dentist until I found West Malling. The team there are amazing and always treat you with such care. Mr Miller is amazing at what he does and is so gentle and understanding. They put their patients at the heart of everything they do! Outstanding!
