Top Places and Services in River, Kent

Great practice; expert and friendly staff;
superb location overlooking the park and Morecambe Bay. As a bonus, there is an excellent ice-cream parlour next door, ( if your mouth is not still numb!)

It's a matter of individual regret, and national shame, that such high quality dental care is so costly and quite unaffordable for the majority of the population. Surely there could be a revised and affordable standardised rate of future NHS charges, somewhere between private and present NHS fees? Compromise is urgently required if the Nation is not to become entirely toothless!!

Unfortunately, under the present NHS contract, dentists simply are not allocated sufficient time to deliver the level of service offered privately. Hence the relentless drift away from NHS dentistry. In my 78 years, I have reluctantly parted company with at least 20 excellent dentists who, no longer willing or able to tolerate the tyranny of NHS bureaucracy, consequently retreated to the private sector.

Something has to change.....and pretty soon.

During the past year i have managed to crack two teeth which led to me having two extractions. This then progressed to having an implant.
The process over all has taken the best part of a year because of covid restrictions.
I cant emphasize enough the superb care and attention to detail that i received from Tom and Jade, the whole treatment was painless and brilliantly executed.
Totally satisfied with the result.

This morning I had an appointment for a wisdom tooth extraction with Tom ,to say I’m terrified of the dentist is an understatement .. The procedure has been put back many months due to my father battle with Cancer and sadly we lost that fight.
Tom and the team were absolutely lovely to me talking me through the steps as he went . Tom made sure I was totally pain free and probably a Rhino wouldn’t of felt either !!!!
This practice showed compassion and empathy in which has been a tough time and a tooth extraction was the last thing on my to do’s !!!
If you are an person that has a phobia about the dentist I would strongly recommend Tom and the team to over come some fear.

Thanks once again

I have just finished a course of cosmetic dentistry with Oliver to straighten my front teeth with Invisalign, whiten them and correct my smile with a filling to worn, uneven front tooth.

I'm absolutely delighted with the result. My 2 front teeth were very crooked before and I was quite self conscious about them. They look great now. It's a nice feeling to smile with confidence and not try and hide them all the time. The filling to lengthen the front tooth is a perfect colour match and you can't tell it's filled at all.

All round a great experience. Oliver is a very experienced and skilled dentist and I felt 100% confident throughout that I would have a good outcome.

Great experience all round. Thank you!

The team here at Bupa Dental Grange are all friendly, professional and extremely knowledgable. I joined the practice three years ago after a free consultation, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My dental journey has been complex, but every step of the way it has always been explained to me with detail, cost and with what the procedures entailed. I cannot recommend both Tom and the team here enough. Thank you!
