South Devon Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with the new dentist, Dr Lin Little. She was extremely thorough, kind and helpful as was her assistant Beth.
Fantastic experience: I visited last week for root canal. What an amazing team I highly recommend. I was looked after by Manuel. I would come back again. The team are professional, patient and very caring. I came out very happy. Thanks ever so much for the wonderful service.
Fantastic experience: Chloe is an amazing Dentist! I had an extraction today which I was not particularly looking forward too. I can honestly say I barely felt the injections and didn't feel the extraction at all! Brilliant work and I certainly won't worry in the future. Thank you Chloe and your assistant. Shame about the glucose tablet!!!!
Fantastic experience: I have recently been under treatment for 2 implants with Dr Rochester and his team throught out the whole process they have all been very professional from the first consultation/ plan to completing the process. The plan gave me the costing structure to budget and I knew what I had to pay. The actual implants procedure was carried out with the upmost professionalism and I felt in very safe hands throughout. I would definitely recommend getting implants to anyone thinking about it.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience Jane. We're really pleased to hear you felt supported and in safe hands throughout your implant treatment with Dr Rochester and the team. We appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: My first appointment was really good. I felt warmly welcomed by the lovely receptionist ladies then waited for my appt in one of the very nice n comfortable waiting rooms. I was a little apprehensive after not having had a dental appt for a long time but when a smiling Emma came to get me for my appt, she put me at ease with moments. She made sure I was extra comfortable in the chair (I presently have a painful neck issue) with a special support pillow. Emma's assistant was very smiley n pleasant too and my apprehension n nerves dissolved. The check up went very well. Knowledgeable Emma was extremely thorough and made sure that I was comfy the whole time. She explained everything very clearly and after such a good experience, I shall be very happy to return soon for my treatment. The whole family have now signed up and we are all very impressed with this dental practice. Thank you to Emma and everyone who made my visit so much better than I could have imagined.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're so pleased to hear your first visit was such a positive experience and that Emma and the team were able to help you feel comfortable and cared for throughout. It means a lot to us that your whole family has joined the practice.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and approachable dentists. The service they provide is first rate. They have become our family dentist and I can thoroughly recommend them!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're honoured to be your family dentist and truly appreciate your recommendation.
Fantastic experience: My partner was given a same day appointment. He said that Emma and Abbie were very welcoming and professional. Duncan says: "Going to the dentist has now become a pleasant experience "
Thank you so much for sharing this Charlotte. It’s wonderful to hear that Emma and Abbie made your partner feel so welcomed and well cared for. Comments like that truly mean a lot to the team!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind feedback Adrian.
Fantastic experience: What can I say, that hasn't already been said, about Montse, Abbie and Sammy - and everyone at South Devon Dental to be honest. Montse was so passionate about giving me my best smile - and she's succeeded beyond my expectations. Her care, compassion and humour makes every visit an absolute pleasure. Montse and Abbie explain everything clearly, nothing is too much. Follow up appointments ensure any adjustments that are needed once things settle down - nothing but perfection is allowed I don't avoid having my photo taken, or cover my mouth when I speak anymore.
Thank you so much for your kind words Julia. It means the world to Montse, Abbie, Sammy and the entire team to hear how much your experience has meant to you. We're so pleased to have been part of your smile journey!
Fantastic experience: Have just completed (20 years of my own neglect ) treatment with Chloe and Elyse. Can not thank them enough, not only exceptional professionals, but fully understood my fear of dentist. Have recommended this dental practice to friends and family. Best of all no dental pain or fear for future checkups
Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback. We are so glad Chloe and Elyse made you feel at ease and supported throughout your treatment and it means a lot that you would recommend us.

Negative experience: Rang up to find out about composite bonding, when i asked how much it is per tooth got hanged up on!! rung back woman spoke, said again about composite bonding hanged up on me. Despicable

We genuinely value every patient and caller, and we’re so sorry this was your first impression. If you're happy to give us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to speak with you properly and assist you.
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment yesterday with lin little and Beth at South Devon dental paignton, I have to say from arriving to leaving was an excellent service, lin was very informative, explaining very clearly everything that I needed to know, reception was also excellent sorting everything out, excellent service
Thank you so much for your kind words Pete! We're so pleased to hear that your first visit with Dr Lin Little and Beth went so well, and that our reception team helped make everything smooth from start to finish.

Fantastic experience: I have just moved to Devon and scoured the internet to find a dentist.I was most impressed with South Devon Dental a very modern and up to date surgery, with good standards of cleanliness. Sam (dentist )is most professional and well qualified. The staff at the desk Rebecca and Melissa were very kind and welcoming . Top marks all round and reasonable prices . Elizabeth Langford
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words Elizabeth! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and well looked after by Sam, Rebecca, and Melissa.
Fantastic experience: Emma and Chloe are amazing. I was so nervous but had to have a tooth extracted. They were both so very patient and took things at my pace. I would never go anywhere else. Thank you to the both of you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you so much for your kind words Julie. Emma & Chloe will be so happy to know they were able to make you feel comfortable and supported during your visit.
Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Tanya Henshaw, Nurse Libby, and the lovely receptionists at South Devon Dental. From the moment you walk in, the team makes you feel genuinely welcome. There’s a calm and friendly atmosphere that puts you at ease. What really stood out to me was how attentive and thoughtful they were—Dr. Tanya remembered little details about me from a previous visit, which made the whole experience feel very personal and caring. It’s rare to come across a team that not only delivers excellent clinical care but also takes the time to see you as a person. Even members of staff who weren’t directly involved in my appointment would smile or say hello as I passed by in the hallway—it’s a small gesture, but it goes a long way. Highly recommend this team—they’re brilliant! Sirirat Vongseenin
Thank you Sirirat, this is a wonderful review and the team will be delighted to hear your comments. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: Lovely friendly staff who were so bubbly and friendly made us feel very welcome, was a lovely first visit to them highly recommended.
Thank you for your lovely review Alison. We're so pleased to hear that you felt welcome and had a great first visit. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Well, that’s the first time I’ve enjoyed going to the dentist. The Dentist, Tanya and her assistant were a joy to experience. Great service with an on-time appointment. I almost can’t wait to go to the dentist again (not really). Thank you both.
We're so glad to hear you had such a positive experience Tim. Dr Tanya Henshaw and the team will be delighted to read your comments.
Fantastic experience: I had specialist nerve root canal work done by Dr. Hands. Although a long procedure, it was made as comfortable as possible, and he constantly checked throughout that I was okay. The team seemed very professional, and I would not hesitate to return if necessary. When I got home, upon checking my Fitbit, it had thought I’d been asleep for 2 hours! That says it all really! More recently, I have had Invisalign treatment with Montse - amazing results, I am so pleased, and smiling at everyone! Montse was very professional on each occasion, and made me feel welcome and comfortable.
Patricia - thank you so much for your kind words - often people are really nervous about the idea of having root canal treatment completed - we love the fact that your Fitbit thought that you were asleep......Dr Hand is a great clinician and expert in root canal treatment.
Fantastic experience: The Invisalign team are the nicest, most professional guys in the bay. Highly recommend. Thank you so much guys!
Thank you Cameron, what a glowing review! We will be sure to pass your comments onto the team.
Fantastic experience: I had my first ever hygienist appointment yesterday with Rachael and she was incredible. Rachael, Jessa and Maddy were professional, welcoming, caring and explained the whole procedure thoroughly. My teeth have never felt so clean. Thank you all so much!

Thank you Wendy, this is lovely to hear!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff , I cannot fault the treatment I have received. Respectful and caring I am no longer phobic about visiting the dentist. Imran was a hard act to follow Lin and her lovely assistant Beth I think are even better.
Thank you Anne!
Fantastic experience: I can only say my experience at south Devon dental is amazing. From the receptionists to the end. My dentist Emma is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my Invisalign and composite bonding journey at South Devon Dental and I am over the moon with my results. I feel so much happier and confident with my smile. Every appointment from beginning to end was of excellent service. All staff were friendly, professional and so informative with every query.

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend being treated at South Devon Dental Practice for any dental treatment! My husband and I have been treated by Andrew Vulliamy and his very efficient dental nurse Amber for over a year now . They are both very caring & friendly. I’ve had some teeth removed painlessly & with my new dentures now have a perfect smile ! Many thanks!!
Thank you Kathleen, lovely review! The team will be delighted to hear your comments and your recommendation means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Haya is an excellent hygienist & is well supported by nurse Kiera. They are both professional & friendly. The latest water blasting equipment they use is a big improvement on the old scraping routine. Highly recommended!

Noone is overly keen on visiting the dentist, me especially but I can tell you honestly I had no anxiety or worry whatsoever, the young lady who i seen was amazing, very informative, chatty and could tell just a genuine great person. I have my follow up appt in a couple weeks and for once I'm actualy looking forward to seeing a dentist

Fantastic experience: I received fantastic care and treatment from Dr Rochester and his team throughout the process of having a dental implant. Their professionalism and expertise put me at ease at every appointment and I now have my smile back!
Sonia, thank you so much for this 5* review. Helping patients regain their smiles with confidence is what we’re all about!
Fantastic experience: Being a dentalphobe my visits to the dentist have been sporadic over the last few years. Having tooth ache and needing an extraction I went to South Devon Dental. The appointment was within days, with a follow up to check healing. Due to the care and treatment I returned to have a few other treatments performed and even signed up to the plan, to ensure a healthy mouth and teeth going forward. I must say from the reception staff, dental nurses and Dr Sam, all of whom are caring, warm and welcoming.
Sal, thank you for this lovely review! The team here will be delighted to hear your comments.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr Supriti Paraskar and her team at South Devon Dental, by my own dentist, who'd advised me that I needed the most expert practitioners to solve my long-standing dental problems. I am so glad I took my dentist's advice. My problems were complex, involving medical issues as well as orthodontic ones, yet Supriti knew exactly what was needed. From the very first consultation, I was so impressed with her understanding of the problems that I had absolute confidence in her professional judgement. It took several painstaking (yet painless!) sessions to 'sort me out', but every time, Supriti, Lucy and the rest of the team demonstrated that I was in exactly the right hands. Not only did Supriti have a deep and natural understanding of the technical issues, she also knew exactly which other concerns were important to me as an individual, regarding both aesthetics and practicalities. I always felt that my own unique needs were understood and being attended to - this exceeded all expectations. To cut a long story short, at the end of the treatment I realised I'd not had the confidence to smile properly for years - yet now, I did! It was an amazing feeling. All my family and friends were astonished and delighted at the improvement in both my confidence and appearance. I can't recommend Supriti, Lucy and the team enough.
Thank you for your heartfelt review Vera! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how Supriti, Lucy, and the team were able to transform your experience and restore your confidence in your smile.
Fantastic experience: I went for my first hygienist appointment with Janaina and Lucy today. I have very sensitive teeth and was dreading the EMS Airflow procedure. Firstly, both hygienists were absolutely professional and made me feel at ease straight away , Janaina explained what she was doing at each step and I had total confidence in her abilities. The EMS Airflow was totally painless and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of having this done. I will definitely be returning, my teeth look fantastic . Thank you
Thank you for your lovely review Debbie! We’re so glad Janaina and Lucy put you at ease and that you had a great experience with the EMS Airflow.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the new EMS Airflow used today by Rachael and assisted by Kiera . A very gentle process and great results. Teeth look lovely and polished and very clean ! Great job. Thank you
Gill, thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: Had a “complicated” procidure (for me, not for dentist Emma, plus tooth extraction. Emma was fantastic, very kind and extremely competent. Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you for your kind words Christina! We’re so pleased to hear that Emma’s expertise and kindness helped make your procedure a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I gladly anticipate our dental appointments at South Devon Dental, where we have the pleasure of visiting Rachael and Beth for our hygienist check ups.

Our continued loyalty to the practice is a testament to the exceptional care and positive experience they consistently provide.

This is lovely to hear, thank you so much for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: All the staff really helpful and friendly, Natalie is a really good dentist who is very caring. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: I had an extraction performed by Dr Sam today. I'd been putting this off for months but I don't know why after today! Sam made it an easy, relaxed experience with lots of reassuring information given before, during and after the procedure. Can't praise the professional and competent care I received today high enough. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Gareth. We're so pleased to hear that Dr. Sam made your treatment a relaxed and positive experience. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Emma Heath for just under a year, she has been brilliant and has given me the confidence to smile proudly again. Her advice has been spot on and she is so gentle in her approach and confident too.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback Wendy! We’re so pleased to hear that Dr Emma Heath has helped you regain your confidence.
Fantastic experience: Most relaxed ive felt in a dentist since i was a child. I was in and out before I knew it. I felt comfortable and all staff i met were friendly and helpful. Really glad this place was recommended to me will be going again in the future.
Faith, thank you for sharing your experience! We're so pleased to hear that you felt relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
Fantastic experience: Had the EMS treatment with Rachael and Jade in my hygiene appointment today and what a difference ! Really enjoyed my time in the appointment, they made me feel at ease the whole time and explained what they were going to do step by step. Thankyou ladies for my new shiny teeth
Thank you so much for your lovely review Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your EMS treatment and felt comfortable throughout your appointment with Rachael and Jade.
Fantastic experience: Well where do I start .I'm petrified of dentists but as soon as I walked in I've felt at ease by the receptionist I needed dential work and had to go in on a emergency and was booked in for the next day so my appointment was very quick .And cannot fault the work I had done and the dentist I saw was very understanding and caring and explained everything I needed perfectly so I could understand her .and the dential nurse with her was amazing also .Great dentist and great staff
Darren, thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear you felt at ease with us and had a positive experience. Your kind words mean a lot to the team!
Fantastic experience: I am in the process of having my laser hair removal treatment done, and I must tell you my experience has been absolutely amazing. Miss Jade is very professional, friendly, understanding and supremely gentle. Highly recommend this practice for Skin treatments. Thank you once again for the painless treatment:)
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you're having such a positive experience with Jade at our MediSpa.
Fantastic experience: Having had some difficulty in finding a dentist quickly it was reassuring that I was able to get an appointment within 2 weeks. Chloe was very patient and explained my options. I had the tooth extracted painlessly and it has healed well. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and to share your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: I visited at South Devon Dental my first time. I used to work for the dentistry. I was worried about my new dentist how they can do my treatment. When I met both young dentist ,Natalie and dental nurse Abbie. They were very cheerful, listening my concerns , checking throughly and organised scaling straight away that I needed . They are very friendly and skillful dentist that you can visit without worrying. I am pleased I found out the very reliable dentist near me.
Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing South Devon Dental for your care. We understand that seeing a new dentist can be a bit nerve-wracking, so it’s fantastic to hear that Natalie and Abbie put you at ease with their cheerful and attentive approach.
Fantastic experience: I have to attend regularly to get my teeth cleaned and generally do not enjoy the experience. However Rachael always distracts me with various anecdotes and a good chat! This time she used the EMS airflow which was so much nicer, warm water rather than cold made it so much less sensitive and was done in a flash. Her and Maddy made a great team. I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to the next appointment in February but definitely not as reluctant to attend
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Marie! It’s wonderful to hear that Rachael and Maddy made your appointment more comfortable with their friendly approach and teamwork.
Fantastic experience: First EMS experience today and it has completely removed my fear of hygienist appointments! As always, excellent care from Rachel and Madeline. Fantastic dental surgery!
Thank you so much for your kind words Ellis. We're delighted to hear that your EMS experience helped remove your fear of hygienist appointments.
Fantastic experience: Superb service, always makes you feel at ease. I was so nervous of going to the dentist before but south Devon dental has completely changed my opinion. I would whole heartedly recommend! Also they are brilliant with kids!!
Thank you for your lovely review, Stephanie! We’re so pleased to hear that we’ve helped change your perception of visiting the dentist.
Fantastic experience: I usually hate appointments with the Hygienist because I know that at some stage in the procedure I’m going to flinch. I’ve just been treated by Rachael who used some new fangled device that used warm water, yes, WARM water, and it was as near to a pleasurable experience as you could get given the circumstances. Then to top it off, she spread some foam stuff on my teeth that has some affect on enamel, and it was like my mouth had a bubble bath for good behaviour
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It’s great to hear that Rachael made it as comfortable as possible for you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment from dental hygienist Vicky and dental nurse Lucy. Friendly welcome and a pain free treatment. Helpful advice given in regards to ongoing preventive actions.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Richard. Vicky and Lucy will be so pleased to hear this.
Fantastic experience: I had to get a tooth pulled and they where wonderful. I usually don't have a great experience with dentist. But this was probably once of the best experiences i have ever had.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was incredibly friendly and the dentist I saw was really knowledgeable and spent time explaining why I didn't need a procedure a different dentist said I needed, when he could have just said no and sent me out the door, so I really appreciated it!
Thank you for sharing your experience and taking the time to leave us a 5* review. We're so glad to hear you felt supported and well-informed during your visit.
Fantastic experience: The team have restored my confidence to smile again. It’s been a long journey but Mr Cunnane has unrivalled skills. If I am ever in need of implants again- it’s the first place I will go. Many thanks guys!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Rachel! We’re so pleased to hear that your confidence to smile has been restored. It’s been a privilege to support you on your journey.
Fantastic experience: After a bad experience with another dentist many years ago that stopped me having dental treatment, I was very apprehensive about my appointment with South Devon Dental but I needn't have worried, everyone was very friendly and very professional and I left feeling very relaxed and very confident about my future treatment. Thank you South Devon Dental.
This is a fantastic review and it's lovely to hear these comments, thank you Moira!
Fantastic experience: I was absolutely amazed by the quick,very friendly and complete professional service I have just received by Dr.Robert Glenning ,Livi and the team.I cannot praise them enough. Would highly recommend South Devon Dental Practice. I was given an appointment less than 1 hour after fracturing a tooth! The treatment was totally painless and the atmosphere in the surgery created by Dr.Glenning and Livi,his Dental Nurse was very friendly and relaxed. Dr.D.B. 18-11-2024
Thank you so much for your kind review David. We're delighted to hear that Dr. Glenning, Livi and the team provided quick, professional, and friendly care when you needed it most.
Fantastic experience: Today at the hygienist, I was offered a new method of cleaning my teeth. This was called Guided Biofilm Therapy and I accepted. This involved putting a solution onto my teeth which then showed the biofilm as different shades of pink - the deeper the pink the worse the biofilm. The hygienist then got to work using a special tool to remove this normally invisible film from the teeth that were pink. This was a totally painless procedure and I left with a very clean feeling in my mouth. Thanks to Janaina and Amber who worked as a good team.
Thank you for sharing your experience, we're so glad to hear that you found the Guided Biofilm Therapy effective and comfortable. Janaina and Amber will be happy to hear your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I have been using South Devon Dental for at least 10 years and they provide a consistently high standard of dental care. So much so that even though I now live in Cornwall I am happy to drive the distance in the knowledge that I shall receive excellent treatment. I have just seen Vicky and Beth this morning for what was a most thorough hygiene appointment ever. I can highly recommend this practice.
Thank you for your loyalty over the years and for sharing such kind feedback! We're delighted to hear that Vicky and Beth provided such thorough care and that you trust us enough to travel from Cornwall. It means a lot!
Fantastic experience: When I joined South Devon Dental back in March I had a big fear of the dentist, to the point on my consultation I cried and had to take my mum with me (I'm an adult with 2 kids ) Andrew and Amber were so understanding and gave me the time I needed. I needed a bit of work done and each appointment has been easier, which is all down to these two! They have been amazing at each appointment and I couldn't of asked for anymore from them, I can now attend my appointments on my own! Even the receptionists are lovely, one especially (not sure of her name) who noticed I was attending on my own and said how well i was doing since i first went in! All round a great dentist but especially Andrew and Amber!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us Magenta! We’re truly touched to hear how Andrew, Amber and our reception team helped you. feel more comfortable with each visit.
Fantastic experience: I have had a very positive experience at South Devon Dental. Every person on staff is helpful and professional. I had two implants done by Dr Cunnane. He is a skilful practitioner and I am delighted with the result. I appreciated his reassuring and sympathetic manner and the supportiveness of the nursing staff throughout the process. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience Susan! We are delighted to hear that you felt supported and in good hands throughout your implant treatment with Dr. Cunnane.
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Emma and Urszula enough for the transformation they have given me. They spent so much time assuring me and making sure I knew every step of the way what would happen. From my initial consultation with Martha I felt confident to go ahead with the treatment. When I met Emma she explained everything in detail and I had trials and consultations throughout the process and felt totally in safe hands. Emma and Urszula work as an amazing team meeting every need of patients and allayed any fears or concerns I had. I personally, have been conscious of my teeth all of my life and now after more than 50 years I can smile with confidence. Thank you so much for transforming my life . What an amazing team
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Donna! We're absolutely delighted to hear about your positive experience with Dr Emma Heath, Urszula and Martha. It's wonderful to know that you felt confident and reassured every step of the way. Helping you smile with confidence after so many years truly means the world to us. We'll make sure to pass along your kind words to the team—they’ll be thrilled! Thank you for choosing us to be part of your transformation.
Fantastic experience: I am very anxious and frightened of the dentist and this has prevented me from visiting the dentist after a previous bad experience. I initially went for sedation but from the minute I met Emma and ursela I was at ease. I have had to have a lot of work and the compassion and understanding I received was unreal. I have had my faith restored and could not be more grateful . Couldn't recommend these guys more from the minute you walk in the surgery !!! Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your experience Jennifer! We’re so glad Emma and Ursula helped put you at ease and that we could restore your faith in visiting the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to all at South Devon Dental as a fairly new patient over the moon that found such a lovely friendly team. Especially Rachel for making my hygienist visits so relaxed
Thank you so much for your kind words, Carolyn! We're delighted to hear you're happy with our team, and Rachel will be delighted to know she made your visits so relaxed.
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Sam and Beth for their professionalism, calm and care during my recent dental treatment. After months of dental pain and hiding my mouth , I now have a healthy smile which I will be sharing everywhere! As an anxious patient I can highly recommend Sam and Beth who were totally wonderful whilst getting the job done Thankyou
Thank you Tasha for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're so glad Sam and Beth could help you feel at ease and restore your smile, your comments are so lovely to hear.
Fantastic experience: Ruairi and his team did an excellent job with my implants. It was a long journey, but with faith, trust and patience, well worth it for the great result at the end. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, Pauline! We're delighted you're happy with the results, and it was a pleasure being part of your journey.
Fantastic experience: First time meeting Sam, had a nice PowerPoint presentation before hand explaining what the issue with my teeth is currently and any possible issues moving forward and made sure I was happy with everything before we began. Super happy with the procedure and all the aftercare help
Thank you for your review, we're glad you had a great experience with Sam and are happy with the procedure and aftercare provided.
Fantastic experience: The entire Invisalign team are amazing! They made the whole transformation process really stress free and were very accommodating. I’m very happy with the results and would 100% recommend.
Thank you, Harry - simply fantastic to read!
Fantastic experience: Waited 9 weeks from consultation to treatment, so was glad to get in the dentist chair. Dr Manuel and Livvy were both professional and reassuring which made the 2 hr treatment process a positive experience. Thank you .
Fantastic review, Andria! Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant dental practice everyone is so kind, I had 2 teeth removed today by Sam and he did an amazing job considering I have issues with opening my mouth wide enough, everything was explained and all the options I had, all the x-rays were explained to me so I could see all the issues my teeth were causing.I would totally recommend these guys to anyone. After care is also brilliant...
Thank you Ang, this is simply brilliant feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have been having Invisalign for over two years now with Montse and I am now coming to the last two months of my treatment. To say I am thrilled would be an understatement! My smile has been transformed by Montse and the team. I have had Invisalign and composite veneers I would not hesitate to recommend South Devon Dental and Montse in particular to transform your smile too! I have also moved my whole family to South Devon Dental for all of our routine checks and treatment and again it has been amazing service. Thank you
What a fabulous review, Sarah! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Before I went to South Devon Dental, I was afraid to go to the dentist, especially the hygenist! Annie and Amber have been wonderful and my gums have improved so much over the past couple of years. They have given me confidence and I know I'm in safe and gentle hands.
Cracking review, Diane! Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: I recently got composite Bonding to with Dr. Sam, the whole experience was amazing! Both him and Beth made me feel comfortable and at ease. I’m over the moon with the results! South Devon dental is also great with my 4 year old son. I’ve never know a child to love going to the dentist as much as him, They treat him like a king. Great from a parent’s prospective as no added anxiety when taking him for a check up.
Thank you so much, Tia! Fantastic to see.
Fantastic experience: Today was my first visit due to a dental emergency. From the initial telephone call with a very helpful receptionist, to being seen on the same day and then meeting with my now dentist Emma, everything was of an exceptionally high standard. The treatment options were explained to me in detail and I felt cared for by Emma and Ursula throughout the treatment. The tooth was extracted in minutes by the extraction Queen! Completely pain free. My treatment was then followed up with after care advice to follow. I can highly recommend this Dental Practice and I'm very grateful for their help today and I look forward to having them as my Dental Practise. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Sarah!
Fantastic experience: I'm really pleased I have found such a lovely dentist practice in my area. All the staff are super helpful, friendly and professional. I cannot recommend this dental practice enough.
Wonderful review, Michelle! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Chloe you are AMAZING, if there was an option for more stars you would definitely get more. I have a fear of the dentist and haven't been for years and that dreaded time came where I needed to go, after looking at many practices I contacted you and I'm so glad I did, from the minute i met Chloe she has been amazing, she made me feel at ease and is very very understanding, she talked me through every step of the way while extracting a tooth which wasn't an easy one as the root curved and this helped me keep calm and made me feel less anxious. Thank you Chloe xx Also if anyone reading this suffers with dental anxiety please please see Chloe as she will look after you.
Fantastic review, Stephanie! Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: 100% happy with every visit. It’s clean, modern and the staff are amazing. I’ve recommended them to my boss, friends and family. Big shoutout to Dentist Tanya Henshaw and Dental Nurse Lucy for such great work. Thankyou
This is so lovely to read, Scott! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have real anxiety with dentists and stress. They are welcoming, considerate and the work done exceptionally. I can't express how over joyed i am with the work done so far. Would highly recommend. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them 20.
Sensational review, John! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: My old NHS dentist closed down. So many people who I know all said the same about South Devon Dental that that provide great service and really helpful. So I went today, I was nervous starting a new dentist but I shouldn’t. Tanya was so friendly and helpful. I had a few worries about my teeth but with a thorough look there was no problems which is a relief. Thank you Tanya. If anyone is looking for a new dentist I really recommend them.
This is delightful, Karen! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the appointments I have had recently. My dentist Tanya is always kind and professional, as is Lucy, the dental nurse, who assists her. I was particularly nervous about having an extraction recently but Sam put me at ease and it was very quick and painless. You have some great staff who should be congratulated
This is magnificent to read, Angela! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We have recently moved to the area and have been looking for a practice for a while - I am so happy we found South Devon Dental! Dr Sam was great and put us all at ease. We will definitely be staying with the practice for our family’s dental care.
What a lovely review, Rebecca! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Since starting my graduate job, I saved up for 17 months before using South Devon Dental because I wanted to invest in my teeth. While there is no doubt that I've paid a small fortune as undergone invisalign treatment, fillings, and have a membership, the service has been fantastic. Dr Andrew V did a great job with my fillings and Vicki has given sound advice on flossing and brushing your teeth. Furthermore, Dr Montse Galiano has done a fantastic job with straightening my teeth as a result of Invisalign treatment. However, would like to see more punctuality as staff have been late for my appointments multiple times. On two occasions, they were late by 30-40 mins. Overall, great service though.
Thank you so much, James! Fantastic to read! We will work on this for a better service going forward.
Fantastic experience: Five star all the way. I’m in my 60’s and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m so pleased with the result it’s worth every penny. I can at last smile with confidence Montsey and all the staff at the practice have been so lovely throughout, particularly Sammy who was always so welcoming. Thank you all so much x
Superb review, Claire! Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: My wife Val has returned from her 1st dental consultation at SD Dental really pleased and relieved at finding such an excellent dentist as Tanya. Appointment was made easily online, and for later that day! Tanya gave a thorough examination, taking necessary X-rays and then went through them on a large screen. Very grateful for the time spent carefully explaining everything. And ably assisted by friendly dental nurse Lucy. Definitely a 5* experience!!
Thank you so much for this tremendous review, Mike!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to south Devon dental for several years now and the service I receive has always been first class. All the staff are friendly helpful and professional. Yes it is more costly than nhs but worth every penny for the service I receive. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely delightful review, Andrew! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I've been undergoing Invisalign treatment for a little over a year now, and the transformation has been incredible. My teeth are straighter than I ever imagined possible, and my smile has never looked better. The Invisalign team has been nothing but respectful and supportive throughout the entire process.All of my worries/questions were met with professionalism and genuine care for my progress. If you're considering Invisalign, I can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and dedication to giving you your perfect smile (:
Cracking review, Jordan! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Had specialist root canal work carried out by Tony Hands. Such a lovely man, he puts you at ease completely and I had full confidence in his skills. Sure enough he managed to save my tooth so thank you so much Tony. All the staff are lovely at South Devon Dental and I would highly recommend them especially if you are a nervous patient.
This is sensational, Colette! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend them enough. My child has autism and needs braces which is a struggle with the sensory issues we have. They are undergoing Invisalign treatment and it’s been absolutely brilliant. I’m so great full to Montse and the team. They have been amazing with my child, so incredibly patient and kind and the results from the Invisalign are amazing as well we are blown away and so happy that we have been able to have an option for teeth correction other than traditional braces. Such a lovely team.
What a tremendous review, Emma! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Well today I made the massive step from NHS to private! All I can say is being a super nervous patient from beginning to end of my very first consultation I felt cared for and more importantly listened to. The dentist and the nurse ( you know who you are) were superb. Not forgetting the girls on reception. How refreshing to be treated so well. Thank you.
What a fantastic review, Laura! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Want to say huge thank you to the South Devon Dental team who looked after me and treated me with kindness and calm setting, Chloe dentist Henry assistant and Sophie on reception all very welcoming. Would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist.
Thank you for this wonderful review, Sheila.
Fantastic experience: I had my first new patient appointment with imran last week, I am a very nervous patient and imran and Abbie were so patient with me. I bought my daughter in also and they were both so amazing with her, she didn’t stop smiling. She loved her stickers. Thankyou both! After my appointment I went to reception where I met Sophie and fenella, they were both also so lovely and my daughter was asking for a drink where they were so kind to go out there way and get her a drink of water. Everyone is just really friendly there and all of the staff just go above and beyond. Thankyou.
What a superb review, Harriet! Thank you!
