Ben's experience at our practice

I have used Durban Dental for many years and return because of the professional treatment, the high standards of care and the personalities of a good team.

Polite, patient, understanding, pleasant.

I have come here on a regular basis for a number of years ,and I completely trust and value the treatment and advice I have always been given .The standard of care is top notch ,and the kindness shown to me is greatly appreciated.I couldn't be more satisfied.

Feel really relaxed with my Hygenist, even though I have always dreaded going to the dentist

The dentist (Mr Sim) was great with my 10 year old son, explaining to him about his baby tooth that needs to come out as it is stoppimng an adult tooth from growing. He also explained the x ray procedure with care and thought

Felt I was being dealt with professionally and I was being given the best care.

Just overall satisfied

I always receive great service from Christine, she is always smiling and happy to see you

I had confidence in the appropriateness and thoroughness of the treatment, and the care and advice I received during my appointment.

My four-year old daughter came back from her first check-up with Dr Bex Maini asking when she could go again! I think that says it all really.

I felt the dentist had my interests as a priority, not his. I have every confidence in his ability.

The hygienist was very professional. My treatment was explained well and how I need to continue looking after my teeth with good cleaning habits. Being a nervous patient I was put at ease immediately.

Always helpful and great reception team and my dentist has all the answers to my questions and I have full trust in his work

Always a pleasure to see the hygienist ( Christine) so professional and kind and very thorough and my teeth feel clean and pristine afterwards

Ahmet fantastic dentist, reception staff great, premises clean and smart, parking on site.

The Dentist was highly professional and communicated with me very well

The dentist and support staff were all wonderful. The whole experience was as stress-free as these things can be. My nervousness was minimised!

Very caring and explanatory.

They go out of their way to make it possible for me to visit the dentist in a way that I can be moblle. The dentist is kind and efficient

It was to the usual high standard that I have experienced over several years. This gives me the confidence to keep returning regularly.

I have been coming for a long time and always leave happy

The service, care and treatment were excellent

Everything and both clinicians were excellent, would not wish to go anywhere else, ever!

They are all a thoroughly professional practice

The dentist is wonderful as is the dental nurse. Kind, patient and caring. They take time to make sure you understand the treatment and remembered me from before which was lovely.

The questions answer this fully. I am a long standing patient at the Durban Dental Practice and will happily remain so until circumstances dictate otherwise.

The dentist was really calm, kind and talked everything through with my daughter. I feel totally confident with his treatment.

Because the staff were very helpful and very nice

My family has used Durban Dental Centre for the past 20 years or so. That have always and throughout, provided professional and courteous advice in a friendly manner.

I needed an emergency appointment following an accident and subsequent hospital visit. The reception staff were magnificent in pulling out all the stops in arranging it, and Ashley Sim, who treated me, was incredible. I can't praise or thank all of them enough.

Everyone was very friendly and efficient.

friendly and efficient service in a pleasant atmosphere. very professional.

The team are friendly and accommodating.

Dentist explained work needed. Organised an X-ray which suited me.

I was seen relatively quickly, the hygienist was polite, friendly and efficient. I waited about 5 minutes to see the dentist after hygienist. I had a check up, no treatment was required. I am sorry that Murchid is leaving as he has been a very kind and understanding dentist during all my treatments

All went to plan, on time, and with a successfully outcome

As our old Dentist retired, a friend recommended Durban Dental to us and we have been delighted with the service and treatment we have received.Ashley Sim is extremely clear in explaining everything that he recommends.

Prompt, clean, courteous

I have used Durban Dental Centre for many years without any problems

Durban Dental have looked after our family's dental needs for around 10 years now. The clinic is very welcoming starting at reception and Murshid's professionalism fills one with confidence.

Efficient, friendly, informative service. Not being a fan of visiting the dentist, I was out at ease and the double extraction was painless.

Very kind staff who explained what was going on throughout, as I had requested.

both hygenist and dentist were on time and very kind

I am always very well treated by the Reception ladies, my Hygienist and my Dentist. I have always been happy over many, many years with everything that happens on my appointments. I go twice and year and they keep my teeth and mouth in good order. I would thoroughly recommend this practice to my friends.

The appointment was on time, the dentist took time to explain what further treatments were possible. I wasn’t pressured to go down one particular route. The dentist has offered a follow up discussion after I’ve seen the hygienist tondis uss options.

Felt totally at ease amazing that I did not have to wait either . Reception staff also very pleasant and helpful

The dentist is extremely professional. My dental work was complicated but the treatment and advice has been excellent.

The receptionist was amazing. Realised I was in a lot of pain and managed to arrange an appointment for me ahead of my scheduled appointment.

I’ve been with this dental practice for decades and trust them implicitly.

The Dentist, Nurse and wider team I encountered on the day were highly professional and friendly. I felt at easy through out and all the pros and cons of potential treatment were explained thoroughly. I was given all the necessary information regarding cost and consent. It was a pleasure seeing the Dentist, not always something you could say!

I had a set of crowns / bridges removed which had been wrongly done by a different dental practice. I was made to feel safe in the dental chair whilst a lot of work was being carried out. I’m looking forward to more work being carried out to get the end result I’ve always wanted. The receptionists are also great, positive attitude and try their hardest to accommodate your needs. Very nice atmosphere in the waiting room and I’ve only ever waited a few minutes before treatment.

Being a nervous patient and because of COVID I had not visited the dentist for a while. Although the dentist was new, to me, I felt comfortable and ever was explained well. I then saw the hygienist and now feel comfortable about returning to the Practice in the future

I have been a patient at Durban for many year's and have always received excellent service and treatment from the whole Durban team. This includes Chris Wood when he practiced and then Murshid. Anda has been my hygienist for many year's as well and all are highly trusted by me.

Explained clearly, course of treatment, friendly, nothing to much trouble.

Very impressed with the anti Covid regimeVery impressed with the hygienist’s diligence and hard work (Christine)All efficient and satisfying

They are all so friendly and it is just a lovely practice.

All fine

No reason not to as I am a regular client

Dentist and nurse were friendly and professional, the reception team was fast and competent as always and my check up didn't reveal any problems.

Great company and in my eyes a flagship dentist in the South East.First time in years I can go to a dentist and know that I can walk out knowing that I have got a superb and professional service. I see Dr Salman and without a doubt one of the best dentist's I have seen in 40 years. I will always recommend the surgery and will continue to go to Durban all them time I can afford a Private dentist. Great Staff and Great Reception team.

I have been a patient at this dental centre for many years and have seen the same dentist and hygienist for many years and have never been other than very satisfied

I made the appointment at short notice as I had a hole in my tooth. The receptionist was polite and explained the cost involved with an emergency appointment. Treatment was explained and was quick and pain free

I was comfortable throughout treatment and dentist and assistant explained everything they were doing and also I felt they looked after me well during the treatment.

I'M ALWAYS DEALT WITH VERY PROMPTLY. MY DENTIST ALWAYS EXPLAINS WHAT TREATMENT IS GOING TO BE PERFORMED AND KEEPS ME UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE. BOTH THE DENTIST AND NURSE ARE REASSURING AND ENCOURAGING. GOING TO THE DENTIST ISN'T A PAIN ANYMORE!

Ashley was gentle and incredibly thorough. I left the room with a greater knowledge of the issues with my teeth and gums and an assurance that I was getting the right treatment

Excellent practice with excellent staff

Professionalism and friendliness

Christine explained throughout what she was doing and why

Treated well courteously with everything as expected

It was part of ongoing treatment following an accident, options are explained well and calmly with regular check up and x-rays to monitor the situation.

Always a kind, warm and friendly welcome from the amazing reception team Marie & Heather, and top class hygienist and dental work with Christine and Ahmed. I had dental implants a few years back and I will always remember how kind everyone was when I was feeling nervous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a gentle and thorough dentist and all round great service experience- complete trust.

I visited Ahmet last week and today for treatment. Wished I had changed dentist sooner. Excellent treatment and very happy with my teeth . Highly recommend.

I had a bad tooth in my mouth and was giving me lots of pain decided to ring my old dentist as I was there many years and they fitted me in I'm very happy as I had the tooth out and the gum is healing well thanks to the team for helping at my time of need as my other dentist couldn't help I'm very grateful

I am not a big fan of dentist visits but Mike but all those fears to rest, what an amazing and caring dentist. Thank you Mike, highly recommend.

Whitney and I (Wendy), despite moving from Crowborough 6 years ago, travel 25 miles to have our dental treatment at Durban Dental Centre. Why? Because Murshid Salman is the BEST dentist either of us has ever had and his skills are worth the mileage! After a chance remark 2 years ago "I don't suppose you can straighten old ladies' teeth?" to which Murshid replied that there was a way ..... he explained a system called Smilelign to me. My teeth were crooked and overlapping and I hated revealing them! He said it would take a considerable time but it could be done and I signed up for a trial, then went ahead with the treatment. That was a great decision because I now have teeth that feel good ( I bite properly!) and I don't think twice about smiling with my lovely straight teeth on show!!! The system is a very simple one ..... a series of virtually invisible aligning moulds which cover your teeth and are changed every few weeks, increasingly pulling errant teeth into the correct alignment until they are perfectly positioned. These are the commitment bits ...... (and you HAVE to be!) *You have to wear the aligners day and night during correction .... which sounded horrifying to me at the outset but in fact was a non-event because I forgot they were in most of the time! *You have to take them out to eat or drink hot drinks, which again becomes second nature. (If you want to lose weight, here's your chance because you tend to not snack between meals!) * Each new set tweaks your teeth ( of course!!!) which is uncomfortable for a couple of days and then settles to nothing. *When complete, you just have to wear a retainer at night periodically to keep everything in place. My treatment was longer than average because my teeth were so bad BUT I am SO happy with the results .... quite unbelievable really!!! Speak to Murshid and make your dreams come true!!!

Honestly the best dentist surgery I have been to, I have been a patient for the last 7 years, I see Dr Murshid Salman, everything from his calm nature to his very high expertise in the dentistry I can not recommend him enough to new patients. I have had 2 teeth extractions and every time he has been professional and the work has been absolutely perfect, every step was explained clearly so I knew what to expect. Highly recommended

I literally never write reviews ever but I just wanted to quickly write one after seeing Mike for an orthodontic consultation - although unfortunately in his professional opinion he recommended I go elsewhere for treatment, I really respected his honesty and he was incredibly warm and friendly, as was his assistant and he gave me some good information to think about - will most likely be switching to them as my general dentist and have encouraged my dad (who is terrified of the dentists) to sign up.

Changing from my previous dental practice was the best decision I ever made! Never have I come across such warmth and friendliness from every member of staff at Durban Dental. Me and my family went to see Dr Mike Field and was so pleased with the service provided. It was lovely to have someone sit down and explain exactly what was going on and how to upkeep personal care at home as well. Him and his hygienist were also fantastic with our 13 month daughter, just so she could get used to the environment. Would 100% recommend.

just had my new veneers fitted & what a total transformation they have made to my smile. absolutely stunning job cant quite believe the difference thieve made

Saw Ahmet who replaced a crown for me for cosmetic reasons . Have always been so worried about this as never thought it would be as good as the last, but how wrong was I , what he has done is amazing and I wish I had it done years ago. Also I didn’t feel a thing when the treatment was being done not even the injection , so overall experience was the best. I always recommend Durban to all my friends and family and will continue to do so

Couldn't recommend Ahmet enough he has transformed my teeth. 5*

Around 6 months ago, I went to enquire about smilelign as I had a overlap on my front tooth. Dr Ahmet Bilginer assessed my teeth and agreed that this would be a good option to correct as I did not want traditional braces. This was a great and easy way to get the desired results - with regular check-ups we were able to discuss the progress and make sure if any amendments were needed. I am now very happy with the results and have very straight front teeth. Would highly recommend.

Went to this clinic and had a few fillings done by Dr Mike Field. Had a 10/10 service and was made to feel at ease throughout the whole process. Mike explained each step and provided an exemplary service. Will not being going to any other surgery going forward. The surgery itself was spotless, couldn't of asked for a better experience.

Would highly recommend this practise, top quality treatment I am so happy with my smilealign and whitening, thank you Dr Field!!

I saw Dr Field for Botox. He was very friendly and professional. I was worried it would hurt, but barely felt it. All in all a very positive experience - highly recommend!

Due to an incident at work I needed to have 2 front teeth replaced. On the recommendation of a friend I approached Durban Dental Centre to enquire about the various options that would be available. I was immediately impressed by the knowledge, dedication and professionalism of all staff being made to feel most welcome During the consultation, clear plainspoken English was used a price was given with no extras or add- ons unlike other establishments that I had previously visited ,including the internet eastern Europe (who were marginally cheaper) but who knows what sort of after care I would receive should it be required. My journey began and after 7 months I finally have 2 new implants which look natural with a number of work colleges, family and friends complimenting on the work carried out with precision, expertise also looking so natural. Although Durban dental centre is located in a small town in East Sussex I would rate the experience superior to that I had received by dentists in Geneva, Lausanne, and London. I recommend Durban Dental centre to all that read this post. Thank you Chris, Mike. eternally grateful.

My first treatment by the team at The Durban Dental Centre was in 1980 and since this time I have had regular check-ups and treatment, including in recent years, three implants and four crowns. Over the last 38 years my visits to the surgery have been met with friendly helpful staff and highly professional dental practitioners. My five star rating is well deserved.

Murshid Salman is by far the best dentist I have ever come across. I have known him a long time and he has always been highly professional but also extremely empathic. Apart from being an excellent dentist he also has a very friendly approach to his clients automatically relaxing them when in the chair! He recently removed one of my teeth due to my having an abscess. I had been in much pain and was not looking forward to the extraction, but when the tooth was removed Murshid made sure that I was completely pain free and was very efficient in removing the tooth. It also healed up very quickly afterwards. My seventeen year old daughter has also been under his care recently due to imperfect upper and lower teeth requiring a number of Smilelign aligners. Her teeth are now perfectly straight and I now have a very happy daughter! I can not recommend Murshid and the reception team highly enough.

Having naughtily avoided visiting a dentist for quite some time I was a bit nervous about going to the dentist and was prepared for a lecture. However, I needn't have worried as rather than a lecture I received a warm welcome and was instantly put at ease by Dr Michael Field during my appointment. He was informative and the appointment that I had been dreading actually turned out to be a pleasant experience! As a first time patient at the dental centre I will certainly be attending again (and on a regular basis)!!

Since becoming a patient I have been treated very very well. I am happy to recommend all the staff I have encountered. The dental work has been excellent and caring, the hygienists have been gentle and considerate and the reception staff have always been both thoughtful and willing to help. What more can I say!

I recently visited Durban Dental Centre after a number of years living in Asia. This had meant 5+ years without attending to my teeth and a growing sense of angst. The ladies at reception promptly helped me get registered and their smiling and supportive nature settled any initial worries. I was seen for an initial check up by Dr Michael Field. His approach was outstanding, explaining everything in detail, providing tips and helping me feel completely at ease with the process. Delighted to report I only needed a few fillings, and these were painless. Dr Field carried out his work whilst ensuring I was comfortable throughout. A brilliant experience and one that far exceeded my expectations.

Outstanding quality of work performed by Ashley Sim with great explanations and patient care. The result of the work is completely natural looking and I will happily recommend Ashley to friends and family.

Had my regular checkup last week with my favourite dentist, Murshid Salman. I have been with the practice for many years and during the past couple have had other health issues which Murshid recognised from medication listed. I had really been struggling to know where to find help and he has been the only health professional who has given me the time to listen and advice to help out. He has made it clear that dentists don’t just look after teeth but the whole person. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend this most kind, caring dentist.

Always a friendly reception, dentist and nurse make me feel welcome and reasured. Positive results very pleased with my retainer programme especially recommend the whitening.

Good friendly practice. All treatment is explained very well and during treatments proceedings are explained along the way!

As good as Dentists get. Nice people I will always go back.

I had big problems with teeth and gums - problem solved Nice staff to help you overcome any fears that you might have.

Quite simply the best dentist (Dr Ashley Sim) and nurse (Debbie Rickwood) we've ever had! Kind, compassionate, skilled and thorough. Even our 14 and 11yr olds are completely relaxed and confident, before, during and after some complex treatments. A holistic approach with specialized knowledge and expert skill inspires complete confidence and great results. as a family we are very thankful and grateful for both of them.

I saw Dr Mike Field who was very patient, caring and compassionate. He consulted with me at every stage of the treatment outlining my options. The nurse assisting him was also very kind and helpful. Happy to say that the treatment worked and I would definitely recommend this practice and especially Dr Field. Thank you.

Highly recommended. Gentle ,friendly staff.

Durban Dental Centre have always been superb with their treatment. Staff are always friendly and information from my dentist is always clear and upfront. I would seriously recommend Durban Dental Centre to anyone.

I recently visited Durban Dental Centre with my children. It was their first visit to the dentist so I wasn't sure what to expect but Mike and his nurse were absolutely fantastic with them - and me. They put us all at ease and even made it fun. The kids are looking forward to going back in 6 months for their next check up!

As Cabin Crew, spending a lot of time out of the UK, having a reliable, professional dentist based at home who shows flexibility and care is hugely important. Recently on return to the UK with a dental problem, The Durban Dental Centre, but especially Chris Wood my dentist, was able to provide quick treatment at a convenient time, much to my relief.... What GREAT service. Would thoroughly recommend this dental practice to anybody who cares about their teeth and appreciates being treated gently.

I had an appointment with the new dentist today and must say I was very impressed by his total professionalism. I was made to feel comfortable as soon as I walked in and would definitely recommend Durban Dental Centre to all of my family and freinds. It's so refreshing to find a practice that clearly cares a lot for their patients and makes the whole experience as stress free as possible! Thank you.

I recently had dental and facial treatment with Dr A.Bilginer he was fantastic. Very professional and friendly with a wealth of knowledge, he made me feel it at ease and comfortable, i was very pleased with my treatment, his eye for aesthetic detail is superb. I cant wait to have my next treatment!!
