I am a nervous patient after experiencing a lot of pain at dentists over the years but I was listened to and was allowed to play my music throughout which kept me calm ☺️

1st June 2026

From reception to Hygienist and Dentist my care was 5*. I felt very well cared for and received a high standard of care.

28th May 2026

Reception staff polite and friendly. Ashley Sim (dentist) was thorough, thoughtful, considerate. He gave me confidence in that if he thought I didn't need a treatment, or would not benefit from it, he said so. Therefore, I am confident if he says I need treatment, then I do.

I had reported pain in a molar to my dentist at the last visit and he said the old filling had to be removed as no longer viable. This apt he removed the amalgam filling, cleaned the area removing a small amount of decay and refilled. He took an enormous amount of care to get the bite right. Amazingly, the whole procedure didn't hurt one bit. Will not go anywhere else.

22nd May 2026

Well organised.

Ashley Sim listened to my concerns and understood the circumstances giving rise to the appointment. Ashley checked the area in question and offered to take an x-ray should it put my mind at rest.We discussed the preferred way forward, given other medical considerations, with the option being available to undertake any interim treatment should the need arise.I never doubt that Ashley will listen and explain.
