Woodborough House Dental Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I was nervous of having an implant after a very bad experience elsewhere with an extraction that left an infection untreated. I need not have worried about anything. 7 months after my first consultation my lovely new tooth is in and looks as good as new. Everything was excellent from the first phone call to the fantastic aftercare. Even the hardest part including a bone graft was easy with sedation and the pain was minimal. Thanks to the whole team especially Laura and Sophia for excellent organisation and painless local anaesthesia as well as Amy and Ellie, and Nick helped a bit too!
Thanks so much Wendy
That’s lovely to hear
Fantastic experience: Wonderful dentist Dr Alex, as we’re all the staff. Definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Luis and Nina were brilliant, very helpful and explained everything
That’s great to hear…. Thanks so much for your feedback
Fantastic experience: Very professional dental practise… l’Wren is a fabulous hygienist *****
L’ren is fab! Thanks so much Debi
Fantastic experience: It's always good to visit this practice. The staff are so helpful, and the service is superb.
Thanks Jo…. We love hearing feedback like that
Fantastic experience: Been with Woodborough House Dental Practice my whole life and I can't recommend them enough. Thanks to Nav and Sophia for taking good care of my teeth.
Thanks so much Tok
We are grateful you have been with us for so long
Fantastic experience: I visited Woodborough for a second time and I just want to say how impressed I am with the service and quality of the practice, especially the coffee on arrival. I saw Alex and Amy, Alex was very informative and knowledgeable. He knows his stuff! Can’t wait for my appointment on Friday! Thanks Alex
Thanks for your wonderful feedback Aron! We agree…. Sophie is a star!⭐️
Welcome to Woodborough and we look forward to seeing you soon
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the exceptional service provided by Dr Luis and his wonderful assistant Nina at Woodborough House Dental Practice. Our son has been under their care for just over a year for his braces treatment, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Although braces can be expensive, we believe it was worth every penny. The results are great, and our son is absolutely thrilled. Dr. Luis is highly skilled, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients'. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking orthodontic care. The professionalism, care, and attention to detail from the entire team have been outstanding. Highly recommend Woodborough House Dental Practice!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words about Dr Luis, Nina, and the rest of the team here at Woodborough House. We’re absolutely delighted to hear how pleased you and your son are with his orthodontic journey and the results achieved.
Braces can be a big commitment, so it’s fantastic to know that you’ve found the investment worthwhile and the experience positive throughout. Dr Luis and Nina take great pride in delivering expert care in a calm and supportive environment, and they’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback.
We’re so grateful for your recommendation and for trusting us with your son’s smile – it really means a lot.
Fantastic experience: As a family, we’ve been under the care of Luis, Rupert and Sophia for the last few years. We wanted to say a big thank you for all your expertise, patience and care - particularly through the ups and downs of teeth extraction, fillings, braces and teeth sensitivity! We’re really happy with the results and our straightened out smiles Would really recommend Invisalign with Sophia - as a largely pain-free route to a better smile, even if you’re in your fifties - braces aren’t just for teenagers apparently!! And thank you to all the receptionists who are always super helpful and attentive - and the wider dental team (especially Nina for great sedation care!)
That’s lovely to hear thank you Claire
Fantastic experience: Very positive. The reception personnel were welcoming and friendly which certainly relaxed me.This was my first visit for treatment after over 25 years at my previous dentist. Slightly unsure but soon relaxed when we started discussing what needed to be done. The whoe procedure went smoothly. While I am certainly not looking forward to returning the concerns that I previously had have certainly dissipated.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Woodborough House by my dentist for implant surgery and even though this is the start of what I hope to be a successful journey my initial experience was wonderful. All the staff were welcoming, friendly and really comforting. My consultation included using extremely modern and advanced equipment and techniques and I was given all the time I needed to ask questions and get explanations. An outstanding experience!
Thanks so much Michael!
We work hard at our customer experience and believe in investing in technology
so we can provide our patients with the very best.
Dr Fahey and his team are world class so you are in good hands!
We look forward to seeing you next time!
Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your experience.
Fantastic experience: Arrived early to a very warm welcome and offered a nice cup it tea while waiting. Very professional service as always in an immaculately clean environment with good advice about my dental needs.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience David. We really appreciate you choosing Woodborough House
Fantastic experience: The is a first class practice with caring, friendly and highly professional staff right across the whole team. The atmosphere is calm and reassuring and I would recommend the practice unreservedly. Brilliant treatment today. Hamish and Sophie together with her assistant are so welcoming and friendly quite apart from their professionalism which is evident on each visit.
Many thanks John, your kind words mean so much.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting this dental practice for over 20 years, I find them incredibly friendly and they put you at ease in a calm Manner. Today I saw Lren the hygienist along with Taaliah her assistant. Lren is superb at her job and along with Taaliah made me incredibly comfortable. I thoroughly recommend Woodbirough for all your dental needs.
Thanks Stephen- we love seeing you too! We really appreciate your loyalty to Woodborough House
Fantastic experience: I recently had my first experience of having Botox at Woodborough House Dental practice. It was such a positive experience from start to finish, the reception team being warm and welcoming on arrival and the personal care and attention all staff had during my visits. Alex really listened to what I wanted to achieve from having Botox and has such a gentle hand. I am thrilled with my results and will definitely be returning to have further treatments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Woodborough Dental practice to anyone.
Thanks Hannah!
Alex is amazing we agree!
See you again soon
Fantastic experience: My wife has very worried about going to the dentist for a long time. She is nearing the end of her treatment for 4 veneers now. Rupert and his assistant are amazing at supporting her and Rupert explains everything before he does it. He told her to say if at any point if she needed a breather just let him know. My wife and I think they are a great dentist and I would highly recommend them.
Thank you so much Trevor, breaks really are important for long sessions and Rupert understands that - especially with nervous patients. We are very glad to provide you with a pleasant experience at the dentist (as much as we can!). Have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Met my new dentist Dr Chan at Woodborough House. All good. Dr Chan has just replaced an ancient (25+ year) crown for me. It was painless and I am pleased with the result.
Thanks Louise
Negative experience: Nothing wrong at all, really, except 65% more expensive than the market price. So check your pocket before you go... Of course, you naturally receive a good quality service at this kind of price. Otherwise, where the money goes? So 'good reviews' are also true but the extra excessive charge, from this clinic, is real and a fact. I am not surprised by their consistently defensive approach when handling customer feedback, but again just check the prices from other clinics before you pay. For example, for dental implant, the market price ranges from 2500 to 3500 quid, theirs start with 6500 quid! Here you go...
Market price? Meaning Average?
If that’s what you’re looking for then we are probably not for you!
As a team we are always striving for excellent customer service and clinical care and this does not come cheap.
We are aiming for the stars…. And we are proud to have over 500 of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews
Fantastic experience: For my recent crown work, Dr Alex and dental nurse Fanny could not have been more professional, efficient and pleasant to receive treatment from. Excellent process explanation and equipment. I felt confident in my choices.
Thanks Allison
That’s wonderful feedback for Dr Alex and Fanny … a power team!
Thanks for choosing Woodborough
Fantastic experience: I had a front tooth implant done here. The whole procedure was very well organised and carried out. It was explained what the options were very clearly and once I had chosen, it was made clear how and when each part of the procedure would take place. The actual implant itself was easier than expected and the aftercare excellent so I was in a minimal amount of pain and my new toother looked after. Right from the reception area to the surgeries there was a very nice, calm and helpful atmosphere I'd highly recommend Woodborough house if you need Dental Surgery
Hi Joe - Thanks for the review. It is often commented on by patients how easy the process is from start to finish and it is great how, using our award-winning techniques, a patient can walk in with a hopeless tooth and leave with a new implant-supported tooth on the same day.
Kind wishes, Nick
Fantastic experience: Honestly, just had such a lovely experience at Woodborough. Shiv is so warm and welcoming – we were just having a nice, easy chat the whole time, and he’s just one of those people who instantly puts you at ease. I went in feeling pretty nervous (hadn’t been to the dentist in years!), but he made me feel so reassured and comfortable about everything – such a genuinely kind and calming person. Muqadas, who was assisting him during the appointment, was also absolutely lovely – so friendly and gentle, and they both just made the whole thing feel really relaxed. Even walking in, you’re welcomed with a smile and a cup of tea – it’s just a really nice atmosphere from the get-go. I honestly never thought I’d say this about a dentist, but I actually look forward to going now. Just feels like I’m in the best hands, and that makes all the difference. Thanks, guys. See you soon (hopefully not too soon )
Thanks Matteo
Shiv is a wonderful dentist and human! He’s so kind and gentle.
And Muqdas is learning from the best
We are so pleased that your nerves were eased and that you are happy to visit
Thanks for choosing us
Fantastic experience: Dental Review 2025 I was referred to Woodborough House for assessment of possible options to address my extensive dental concerns. In particular I had fractured, loose and infected teeth and substantial gaps which my existing dental practice felt unable to address. Woodborough House responded promptly and positively to my referral and I was offered an early assessment appointment which comprehensively and thoroughly identified my options, this was summarized in a detailed written report which included financial costings. I was given time to consider carefully my options but initially I allowed myself to become a bit too dominated by the sheer scale of the monetary costs involved. Looking back now I feel that although the cost of such treatment is relevant, it shouldn’t dominate the decision-making process and other factors are equally significant. When addressing health issues, quality of treatment and confidence in the providers should also be uppermost and these are the very areas in which Woodborough excel. Woodborough House have ensured that what has been a much more complex and significant process than I initially appreciated has been planned, implemented and evaluated extremely effectively. Communication throughout has been superb, treatment has been carried out skillfully and with such levels of confidence that I have felt reassured and completely confident that I was in the right place with the right team throughout. Reception, treatment, planning, administration, communication face to face, over the telephone and electronically has always been of the highest order. At no stage have I regretted, even for an instant, my decision to proceed with them for my dental implants and I can wholeheartedly and completely recommend them as a first-rate dental practice. Thanks so much to you all. John Hopkins
Hi John - It was indeed a pleasure treating you.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I couldnt have been more happy with the outcome we achieved together and look forward to seeing you again in a year for your review appointment. Until then, kind wishes, Nick.
Fantastic experience: I have always been impressed with both the culture and professionalism of the Woodborough House team. This ranges from the warmth of the reception staff to the hygienists, dentists and orthodontists. Over the years , I have had a couple of implants and a crown fitted with no issues. Not cheap! Though one might argue good value and there is a sense that there has been significant investment in both training and technology to keep up to date with the latest developments.
Thanks so much Nigel
We have a wonderful team at Woodborough and it makes us proud to hear your glowing review.
We believe in investing in our team and technology to be able to provide the very best to our patients.
Thank you for choosing Woodborough House and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: I am always delighted to attend my appointments at Woodborough House Dental Practice.

This organisation is impressive and first class throughout the staffing and practitioners provision. Well done to all.

Fantastic experience: When in severe pain with a dental emergency, you just need kind, compassionate and the best professional care. This is exactly what I received from Nav and his team. A sincere thank you.
That’s wonderful to hear Ali
Great work Nav and team ❤️
Fantastic experience: All the staff are considerate, helpful & professional. I’ve recently had a lot of help from my hygienist & dentist who have gone above & beyond to support me with a medical problem that’s been affecting my oral health.
Thanks Judy ❤️
Fantastic experience: Woodborough House has a great team, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. My dentist (Sophia) is also very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. I would definitely recommend them. I have a few complex dental issues to be addressed and the dentist took the time to understand my concerns and will be developing a treatment plan to resolve these. I'm confident that I am in very good hands.
That’s wonderful to hear Ian
It was great to meet you and begin to help you get your smile back
Thank you for your recommendation… that’s how we grow
Fantastic experience: I have just completed lengthy treatment with Nick for an implant and two crowns replacing a bridge. The implant required some bone grafts in my case and any discomfort from the procedure soon settled. The care received by Nick, Sofia, Laura, Amy & Holly was exceptional! My many appointments were never hurried, every stage explained along the way and I am very pleased with the results. I would thoroughly recommend Woodborough Dental Practice for all your dental care. You will receive very friendly help when you walk in the door from the loveliest reception team and will even be offered refreshments! Thank you to Nick and the team and lovely Sarah - they will all put a smile on your face!
Thanks L
We love seeing you at the practice
Fantastic experience: I have made three visits to Woodborough in the last couple of months, periodontal annual checkup, implants review and checkup and finally the hygienist. I have to say the whole team from reception to dental nurses to specialists do a great job. Everyone is always friendly and all know their jobs. The result being my mouth has not been in such good condition for quite some time! Many thanks team!!
Hi Terry
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review - Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more patients that need old (and sometimes, not so old) implants removed.
The key to removing implants is to have all the right equipment.
Then when you add a calm chap, like yourself into the mix, there is no reason that this appointment should be too stressful.
Many thanks and kind wishes, Nick
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Nick and all his team for all the professional help and support at Woodborough Dental with my new veneers and achieving a new and natural look. My treatment plan was very well organised to incorporate gum restoration in advance of temporary veneers followed by the final look with which I am very happy. I would most certainly recommend Woodborough Dental House for a top level service with very professional and friendly staff.
Thank so much Jill
We agree …. Nick and his team are amazing!
It has been such a pleasure to deliver your new smile
We strive to deliver the very best in dental care and customer care….

You are one of our favourite people to see…. And your lovely family!
Thank you for supporting Woodborough for all these years!
Fantastic experience: Out of this world! From my initial consultation & treatment plan through to my tooth reconstruction, I was treated with kindness & courteous professionalism. Dr Alex & Nurse Fanny were an amazing, well co-ordinated team who have made me better - not just my teeth! Thank you SO much.
Thank you Alan
That’s so lovely to hear
Yay Alex and Fanny
Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with the Botox Dr Alex has done for me- he took time to understand my requirements and the results are perfect. It was totally painless, I experienced no bruising and I would definitely recommend him to other clients!
That’s wonderful to hear thank you Aoife
Alex has a huge following because of his communication skills and gentle techniques
Fantastic experience: Have just been to see L’Ren & Nav for my half yearly check up and hygiene session. Same as always; really thorough, professional, caring and considerate folk. I’ve been going to Woodborough House for over 20 years now and it only gets better. Well done team!
Thanks Peter. I will pass on your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly team that patiently supports you and takes the time to get to know you as an individual. The facilities are also excellent and I have received a high standard of care with great expertise. Luis and Nina looked after me throughout my having my braces, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Really pleased with the final result too!
Thank you Kumba
We are so proud of our team at Woodborough House!
We agree they are great!
We are constantly reinvesting in technology to give our patients the very best ❤️
Fantastic experience: Amazing practice and Nav is just the best dentist. Everyone is always smiling and cheerful and very patient with people who are nervous about the treatment. I can’t recommend Woodborough highly enough, great dental surgery I am so glad I moved to them.
Ahhhh
Thanks Liz
That’s so lovely to hear.
We are so proud of our wonderful team.

Fantastic experience: Saw my hygienist today. She is amazingly patient with me - as I’m a very nervous client. I see her every three months and she keeps my smile on top form.
Thank you Melanie
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Dr Mehta for a few years after severe gum disease started during the pandemic. After some intense gum surgery he has stabilised my condition and his meticulous approach is helping me keep my teeth for longer. I just wish I’d seen him sooner.
That’s wonderful to hear Alison thank you
Kuljeet is amazing and we are lucky to have him
Fantastic experience: What a lovely dental practice! Everyone is so friendly and always has a smile and kind tone. I saw Hamish and Nina who were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I have had bad experiences with dentists historically so do get nervous at the dentist, like a lot of people, but this was a very pleasant experience and I plan on going back regularly!
That’s wonderful to hear Kelly
We look forward to seeing you again soon ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been treated by many dentists over the years, but Dr. Alex truly stands out—for all the right reasons. He takes the time to educate and advise, always ensuring I understand my treatment options. He listens attentively and makes sure every step of his work is done with precision and care. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for his patients set him apart. His nurse Fanny is equally exceptional—calm and supportive throughout every visit. Together, they make a fantastic team that creates a reassuring and comfortable experience.
Thanks for the wonderful
Feedback Romana
Alex and Fanny are a fantastic team we agree!
We look forward to seeing you again ❤️
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been under the care of Luis and team for braces. She has received excellent treatment during this time and her teeth look amazing. She is happy to smile now and show off her perfect teeth. We would highly recommend Luis. Thank you!
Great to hear such positive feedback thanks Sean
Fantastic experience: Fabulous staff very friendly and efficient. Rupert the dentist brilliant and Lauran the hygienist was extremely patient amazing both very good and professional. Highly recommended
Thanks you so Eric! We love seeing you at Woodborough ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a wonderful experience with my braces journey. From the very beginning, Luis has been amazing—always patient and thorough in explaining every step. After 19 months of wearing braces, I’m thrilled with my straight teeth and the overall result. What’s even more impressive is that he was able to avoid an extraction by using a careful, safe approach to preserve my teeth. Nina has been incredible too ensuring I was doing ok at each step. Nina and Luis make a fantastic team, and they ensure every appointment runs smoothly. Highly recommend!
Thank you Sonali
We agree …. Luis and Nina are a fantastic team!
We are thrilled that you are so happy
Enjoy your new smile
Fantastic experience: Update from my review 2 years ago as Phase 2 of my teeth 'makeover' has been completed and I am so happy with the result. Louis has done an amazing job with his intricate braces work and I now have straight teeth for the first time in my life!! Now very much looking forward to the next phase with Hamish and Nick! So I will update again in a few months! Without doubt the most thorough initial consultation that I have ever had! Very knowledgeable and with an excellent’bedside manner’. If they can improve my teeth in due course as well I will be extremely pleased!
Hello Fiona, thank you for the review. Very glad to hear our bedside manner is to your liking. Look forward to seeing more of you! WH
Fantastic experience: My teeth were in a bit of a tragic state when I started treatment at Woodborough House and am I so pleased I did! I can see and feel that my dental health is improving as my treatment continues and I am very grateful for that. I was starting to feel very conscious about smiling which is rather sad! Louise, Kuljeet and Nav are always very professional but at the same time open and friendly. Another positive, my son who is 7 and also has his check ups with Nav is not scared about going to the dentist. He thinks it is cool! Madalena Update on my review: A few years have passed since my last review. As I finally come to the end of my treatment, I feel I need to to say I am so, so happy with the end result. Thank you to all who have helped me over these last few years- the lovely ladies at reception, Kuljeet, Dipesh, Nav, Lorraine and all the dental nurses. I may not know everyone's name but I would recognise you if I saw you on the street!! I feel lucky to have met such a professional, knowledgeable and empathetic team. You really have made a difference to my quality of life. Muito Obrigada!
Thanks Madalena - So glad you have got your confidence back by improving your dental health. It is also excellent that you are putting your sons dental health interests as a priority. We so often find that dental phobias stem back to an adverse dental experience in childhood. I happen to agree with him... Seeing Nav is COOL!
Fantastic experience: The staff in Reception, hygienists and dentists at the practice are first class and I thoroughly recommend you use this surgery.
Thanks Martin
We are so proud of our team at Woodborough
Fantastic experience: Nick and the whole team worked well and provided a reassuring service to me (a terrified customer). I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist (this one at lease). 10 out of ten.
Thanks Ronald
Nick and his team are simply the best
We’re so glad that you’re no longer frightened…. That’s what we aim to achieve … reassuring our patients that dentistry at Woodborough is different
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Sophie Lokes today. She was brilliant. I am usually an anxious patient no matter what I go to the dentist for. Sophie made me feel very relaxed. People on the reception desk are always friendly and helpful.
Nice to hear this Michele - I hope you are well and will pass yor kind words on to the team. Best wishes, Nick
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Hamish Macaskill at short notice today. As always the reception staff were friendly and informative and the nursing team lovely and caring. Dr Macaskill is a wonderful clinician; very communicative, friendly and skilful. He is the consummate professional who clearly loves his field and is always up-to-date with new developments in dentistry. The experience is always unhurried and one feels very well cared for. Dr Anthony Thomson
Thanks so much for taking the time to write about your Woodborough experience.
You have encapsulated the very essence of what we aim to do every day.
We look forward to seeing you and your family very soon.
Fantastic experience: Woodborough house have a strong dedication to gum and tooth health that has improved the life expectancy of my teeth no end. They are lovely people too. Today I had a session with Rupert and Sofia. Many thanks to Khareen for her reassuring bedside manner!
Thanks Andy
That’s wonderful to hear our team looked after you so well.❤️
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Nick, Sofia, Amy, Holly and Laura highly enough. Implants were the best option after a severe infection and a complicated dental history. As a nervous dental patient I was very apprehensive about a process that would take almost a year but I don't think I could have had a better experience. Throughout the process, the communication was excellent, all my questions and concerns were thoroughly dealt with and I can't believe how seamless and pain-free the last year has been. I was very self-conscious as it was my two front teeth but even the two sets of temporary teeth Nick created were good enough for me to smile freely. Nick, and team, really did a fantastic job from a challenging starting point and I am very grateful for their care, kindness and skill throughout. It is possible to go for a cheaper option but I am so glad I didn't, as apart from an excellent result I had peace of mind throughout. (Thank you also to Sarah for her advice and guidance up front, much appreciated).
Thank you Hannah for your words. They mean so much to the whole team and why we do what we do. ❤️
Enjoy your new smile … you look fabulous
Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience with my dentist Dr Alex Chan and Khareen last Friday, fitting my permanent crown, a great team
That’s wonderful to hear thank you Stephen! I will let them know
Fantastic experience: Had two teeth extracted here, was very quick and easy with good staff and a nice house. 5* would recommend
Thanks so much Sam
Fantastic experience: A visit to the hygienist this morning was extremely efficient and professional. I am always impressed by staff at the Practice- so different from my experiences as a child!
Thanks so much Lyn
We are always looking for ways to make our patients’ experiences as wonderful as possible
Fantastic experience: Living locally & having a dental practise so close of such quality is just great good fortune. This morning I had a hygienist appointment with Sophia and the care and her thoroughness left me feeling so very well supported - my thanks Colin
Hello Colin, thank you for your comment! We love the area and most of all the people, and we're so proud of our team and how much they uphold our brand values. I'll make sure to pass your kind words to Nick, Nav and L'ren. Have a fantastic day!
Fantastic experience: I recently came to the end of an extensive course of treatment at Woodborough House, including implant surgery, to fix some quite serious and longstanding issues. My teeth are now looking and feeling wonderful, thanks to the brilliant Nick and his friendly team, who just ooze expertise and professionalism. As well as giving state-of-the-art care, they always took the time to ensure I was feeling safe and comfortable. It took any fear out of going for even major treatment, because I learned I could trust them 100%. Thanks so much, guys!
Thanks David
It’s been such a pleasure treating you.
Complex dentistry is challenging for professionals and patients.
Nick and his team are world class and it so wonderful to have such lovely feedback
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing practice. Never thought a dentist practice could be this nice! Almost looking forward to the next visit :) Very dedicated, friendly people. Practice has got a lovely homely feel. Highly recommended!
Thanks Kirsten!
We are looking forward to seeing you at your next visit too
Fantastic experience: Had 2 treatments with Shiv & Taaliah in the last few months for an extraction and a filling. As always they made the experience easy and stress free. Super friendly, patient and most importantly explain the treatment inside and out as to put my mind at rest. The practice as a whole from front desk to practitioners are an amazing bunch.
Thanks so much Steve
That’s so lovely to hear about the Woodborough team
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! I’ve been going to Woodborough House Dental Practice for quite a while now and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. Dr Monkhouse is just superb and I can’t recommend him enough. Always very interested in how you’re doing and makes me at ease with whatever procedure I’ll be undergoing. I’ll rate them 10/10 if it was possible.
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It’s wonderful to have you visit us at Woodborough. Thank you for trusting us with your teeth!
Fantastic experience: The entire team at Woodborough House Dental Practice is amazing! They are professional, friendly, and most certainly the very top practitioners in their field... You can't go wrong by using Woodborough House!
Thanks Steve so much! We all love seeing you at Woodborough....you are a joy to treat!
Fantastic experience: I just realised I didn't post this after my experience which was a year ago ! I came to Nick at Woodborugh House on recommendation by my own dentist who could not carry out the extensive work I needed, replacing broken crowns and failing front teeth needing implants. It was a long journey but every step of the way I was treated with exceptional care and kindness. Nick you and your team go above and beyond, exceptional professionalism, Kuljeet, Celine,Laura, Holly Amy & Sofia Thank you all. Nick you are a master, thank you for giving me back my confidence and the best smile I could wish for.x
Tracey
Thank you

Thank you Aidan
Fantastic experience: A very professional experience, friendly staff comfortable atmosphere bearing in mind many people don't like going to the dentist
Thanks so much Chris
That’s so lovely to hear
Positive experience: I have been unhappy with NHS dental practices for many many years. After retiring I decided I wanted to spend my small pension lump sum on improving my teeth. Woodborough House was recommended by a friend. After initial consultations with Hamish, Nick, Sarah, Luis and Helen I have decided to go with orthodontics and 2 implants and white fillings. The staff also know that I am on a limited budget and have accommodated this. I have given the review 4 stars because of the quality and professionalism of the staff. They have listened to what I want to achieve and treated me like a person, not a number. I have no doubt that after my treatment is finished my final review will be 5 stars. Thank you to the team for being so lovely. Cant wait to get started. Thank you Hamish for the last 2 appointments. Your techniques for nerve blocks and replacing fillings have been pain free and your approach to patient care is friendly, gentle and professional. Looking forward to my next few appointments .
Thank you Suzy. We are honoured you have put your trust in us and will do our very best to give you the smile you deserve. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Woodbrourgh house dental practice is by far the best dentist around the area. Patients are really looked after Hamish was very good for my tooth extraction, I was very anxious going for this appointment. Hamish put me at ease straight away and the procedure went very well.
Thank you for your kind words, Linda. We're so pleased you had such a great experience with us and will be sure to pass your lovely feedback onto Nick. Best wishes, WH
Fantastic experience: Christmas Eve and everyone in the Christmas mood, but some of us were not looking forward to Christmas as much. A split and painful tooth needed extracting under sedation, and Woodborough House Dental Practice certainly came to my rescue in their customary professional way. Thank you to everyone who was involved in my treatment yesterday; the receptionists who welcomed me, the young lady (Holly?) who sedated me and prepared me for my treatment, and the wonderful Alex and his nurses who so expertly and gently removed my tooth. Alex is a lovely human being as well as an excellent dentist. Thank you also to everyone at the practice who I have seen over the recent month or so.
Ahhhhhh
Thanks so much Mickey
Such a lovely message
And we agree….. we have a wonderful team!
Merry Christmas to you
Fantastic experience: Shivam always provides a high level of professional care when I need dental treatment at Woodborough House practice. He has been a courteous, patient, and a huge help in understanding what my dental needs require.
Great to hear thank you Clive, Rupert is fantastic!
Fantastic experience: I had a hygienist appointment with Sophie and Nina at Woodborough House which I had been dreading as I have very sensitive teeth. Sophie and Nina were brilliant and took time to apply a special liquid to sections of my teeth in turn as they worked. They were able to make it a painless procedure and I will not hesitate to book future appointments. Thank you!
Thanks for your lovely feedback Elaine
Fantastic experience: Woodborough are just amazing - the commitment to clinical excellence paired with the highest standards of customer care mean that they look after whole families of all ages with all types of dental needs. All staff look beyond the presenting issue to the person and their needs. You can expect the best at Woodborough and smile with confidence!
Dearest Sophia
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We all love seeing your beautiful smile at Woodborough …. You’re beautiful inside and out ❤️
Fantastic experience: Another excellent visit to Woodborough House. I'm always struck by how warm and welcoming everyone is.The treatment is always first class, too. I've gone from being extremely anxious about dental treatment to actively looking forward to my visits – something I never thought would be true. Thank you!
Thanks so much Sean
It’s so lovely to hear your feedback
We look forward to continuing your dental journey with you
Fantastic experience: BEST DENTAL PRACTICE WITH THE NICEST STAFF EVER I arrived at Woodborough House as a nervous patient who hated having her teeth interfered with. That was twelve years ago; Sarah transformed to a confident happy patient in just a couple of visits. I know my teeth will be excellently cared for by the Woodborough Team and I look forward to seeing all the lovely people there; Hamish the dentist, hygienists, dental nurses and receptionists. A trip to the dentist is a necessity to maintain healthy teeth and a treat to see all them all.
Ahhhhh
Thank you dear Dordie
We LOVE seeing you at Woodborough
Thanks for visiting us and trusting us with your smile
Fantastic experience: Dr Kuljeet is an expert and a gentleman. I am a bad bad patient and not only did he make the whole experience painless but ( almost) pleasurable. My only reservation is that every time I come to see the angels at Woodborough House - I am so euphoric that I race across the road and spend lots of money at Kiki and Bow plus the glorious show and bag shop ‘ Grace’. Cannot recommend this practice enough xx.
Wonderful to hear your feedback Ewa. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Fantastic experience: So very many thanks to Sally and Khareen for the root canal treatment I received from them on 26/11/24. The time, care and skill over two and a half hours were exceptional, and matched the quality of the root canal treatments I had from them last year. I cannot recommend them highly enough, nor indeed the kindness of the reception team. Thank you all.
Thank you Melanie
That is so lovely to hear
Root canal gets a bad press….. but if it’s done well it’s pain free and means you get to keep your tooth!
Well done Sally and Khareen and the Woodborough reception girls
Fantastic experience: I cannot praise this practice enough! I have been coming here since a child and have consistently received dental care that I would describe as above and beyond. My dentist Nav is fantastic and always puts the patient first by genuinely caring and recommending the best treatment options. I recently had to have all of my wisdom teeth removed due to repeated infections and got this done at the practice with the brilliant dentist Nick. I was initially really anxious about this procedure but Nick and his team have been absolutely fantastic! The procedures were seamless and they all went over and above to ensure I was comfortable and continued to be in contact after the treatment to follow up. My teeth healed brilliantly and I could not recommend Nick and his team enough! They removed all anxieties as well as my teeth! Thank you for your expertise and care.
It is always a pleasure looking after lovely patients. I am glad we made a procedure that is often associated with significant post operative discomfort managable. Thank you for your kind words - I pass them to the team. Kind wishes, Nick.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough , informative and welcoming. Everyone really put me at ease and it was a refreshing experience compared to other dental practices I’ve been to. Thank you!
Thanks so much Alexandria
We aim to be different and the very best we can… so thanks for saying that ❤️
It’s why we do what we do!
Treating people not just teeth ❤️
Fantastic experience: Another excellent experience- - I always find all the staff friendly & professional. I feel I am in good hands every step of the way - and for some one who had a phobia about visiting a dentist - this is the practice to go too . You are put at ease immediately. I trust them explicitly with their knowledge & advice .-
Wow!
That’s wonderful to hear Elaine thank you.
We know many people are worried about coming to the dentist so we focus on our customer care
Thank you for putting your trust in us ❤️
Fantastic experience: Today is a significant milestone for me as it marks the completion of my dental implant procedure with Nick. It gives me the opportunity to sing the praises of not only his exceptional skill but also the kind and cheerful support of the entire team at Woodborough House. Not only have I been impressed by Nick's professionalism and natural empathy but also his attention to detail and experienced dedication towards achieving the perfect result. I feel indeed very privileged to have been under the care of this outstanding dental practice and am so grateful to Nick, his lovely assistant Leah who has shown exceptional patience in adjusting appointments in this difficult COVD19 year, and the fantastic Woodborough team. You are all simply the best!
Thank you Erlet. I've forwarded your comments to Nick, Leah and the team. They are very much appreciated and I'm so glad you've had such a good experience! Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr Rupert Monkhouse was exceptional. I was anxious due to past traumatic experiences with dentures. Rupert listened attentively, understood and answered my questions patiently. Rupert explained carefully what was going to happen. I felt safe, reassured realistically and involved in the journey of having full upper dentures made. The dentures exceeded my hopes, fitting perfectly, without adhesive. I can talk, smile even yawn without them moving. I have adjusted to the new bite and can eat almost everything. I am delighted with how natural they look. I can recommend Rupert without any hesitation and wish I had found him earlier. Mrs Shaun Chater
What wonderful feedback for Rupert
Thank you so much for your kind words…. We agree that Rupert is a fantastic dentist
Fantastic experience: Practice Manager, Receptionists, Dentist (alex) and Dental Nurse all really nice and treated me really well when i was in a lot of pain and petrified. Did everything they could to look after me and reassure me about treatment required. Highly recommend them especially if you have had bad experiences with dentists in the past. I will definitely be going back for check ups etc.
Thanks so much Debbie
That’s wonderful to hear
We have a great team and it’s so nice for them to have this acknowledgement
We look forward to seeing you next time
Fantastic experience: I was recommended the Woodborough House practice by my own dentist as I needed a dental implant for a front tooth. I am so glad that I had that recommendation. 5 stars doesn't seem enough! The professionalism and care of Nick, Sofia, Amy, Holly, Laura and everyone there is absolutely first-class. The practice has some very sophisticated technology for assessing your teeth, including the latest CT scanner (normally found in a hospital) and software for mapping out your mouth. It is impressive and appalling in equal measure (lol!). After the first consultation with Nick, I read the report and wondered if I should get myself off to the knackers yard! However we worked out a plan of action, having listened carefully to my thoughts. The operation to have the implant is not trivial and the two weeks post operation were not the most comfortable, to put it mildly. But the aftercare over the weeks was without fault. There were a lot of specific instructions, solutions to use and checkups. When it came to the permanent crown, I even went to London to meet Rob who made my tooth (Sofia suggested this and I am glad that she did). He even puts in imperfections so that is totally in keeping with your other teeth. How anyone decides to do this "on holiday" in a couple of weeks is beyond me. You might save a few pennies but end up with a failed implant and worse effects on your health. Speaking of money, of course all of this excellent equipment with highly trained and motivated staff does not come cheap. But it absolutely is value for money. As a final touch, the staff even gave me a card and a gift from Nick's native NZ. I was very touched. I only wish they were nearer (and the traffic and parking were easier!) otherwise I would go there as my main dentist. I might still do it. They are that good. (see if you can spot the implant!)
Bill
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed,honest and wonderful account of your Woodborough journey.
As the owner, I couldn’t ask for a better review and I’m so proud of our wonderful team.
We are so thrilled that you feel like this and it’s why we have worked so hard to create Woodborough for our patients.
We want to offer our patients the very best!
It was such a pleasure to treat you, thank you for being such a wonderful patient.
Keep smiling… because you’ve made us smile too
Fantastic experience: What makes Woodborough House so special is that everyone is so open and friendly, not something you generally expect from a visit to the dentist. Sophie and Hamish were both very thorough and professional during my recent visit so I'm confident in the knowledge that my teeth are in very safe hands at Woodborough house.
You are a star Cheryl and I couldn't be happier in the result we achieved - despite a challenging situation. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to all the team and especially Dr Luis who has done a great job with my boy’s braces programme. Fab results, stress free treatment and super explanations throughout for parents and son. Gracias Luis!
Thanks Tim
We’re so pleased to hear you’re happy
Luis is fabulous with children … they love coming to see him!
Fantastic experience: Incredible experience as always at Woodborough House. Extremely friendly and helpful team! Took my son for his first check up and Shiv and Ellie were amazing and really informative. Had a chip repair today for myself and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you!
Thanks so much Rachel
Wonderful to hear and welcome to Woodborough!
Fantastic experience: It is always a pleasure going to Woodborough House Surgery. They are not only super friendly and put you at ease, they are also a hugely talented team kf experts in their field. I couldn't recommend them enough, whether its a simple check up or, as i have had in the past full dental implants.
Thanks so much Kirsten
We love having you as a patient and think your teeth look fabulous
Thanks for putting your trust in the Woodborough team
Fantastic experience: My son had quite severe issues with his teeth that required Orthodontic Balancing. The results have been amazing and I have to call out Dr Luis Mendoza for his skills and encouragement. The team work ethos he utilised with my son was superb.
Hi Justin
That’s so wonderful to hear!
Luis our orthodontist is a great guy and relates so well to his patients.
We really appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback
Fantastic experience: So doc, how long will my implants last?” “Hmm, indefinitely, however, you can at least expect about twenty years.” That conversation was back in 1999 which is now approaching a quarter of a century ago when discussing my dental care with a noted Harley Street pioneer in the implant surgery methodology. The scope of the proposed can be described as, extensive! In late 2023, now and old man aged eighty, my situation had reached something best described as a dental crisis. A crisis analogous to that of an old village churchyard’s cemetery whose precarious headstones in need of care; everything was infected and failing at which point the name, Nick Fahey was mentioned. “He’s your guy.” The first consultation with Nick revealed the depressing extent of my problems. “We don’t do it like that anymore.” He explained having considered the methodology used for my old implants. Seemingly, the advance in dentistry techniques including, equipment, materials and experience over the decades had evolved. Nick developed an action plan which made me wince at the cost. Today I’m an old man and at eighty I’d entered the actuarial ‘death decade’ so it was not a question of the anticipated life expectancy of the implants but that of my own. Predictably, people gush to suggest that we will all get a telegram from the King having reach the great age of a hundred - yeah right. Levity aside, Nick rightly suggested that it is the quality, not quantity of life that is of the greatest importance. And today, having gone through almost a year of treatment, I can happily report that all is well. I am healthy while rid of infection and I feeling good. Suffice it to say that, while omitting any mention of the actual gory surgical detail, I am in awe of Nick’s skill and that of his team. Walking into Woodborough House gives the feeling of pleasantness and confidence. And so, it is without hesitation that I can recommend these guys. Des FitzGerald
Des - Your review warms my heart. Your gentle ways and Irish charm flow from the page and the whole team thanks you. It is a pleasure spending time with people like yourself who we always looked forward to seeing. Glad to get you back on track - Wishing you all the very best, Nick.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Rupert and his assistant today. They totally put me at ease, are friendly, respectful and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending, which is quite a statement from me, being a very nervous and anxious person with dentists!
Thank you for your lovely feed back Annie
Fantastic experience: Thanks Hamish and Nina for sorting out my tooth. That was excellent and as pain free as a visit to the dentist can be. I really liked that you were calm and explained very well what was happening. I very much appreciated your professionalism and advice.
Thanks for your wonderful feedback Tiberio! We agree that Hamish and Nina are a great team
Fantastic experience: Hamish has done bonding on some of my teeth, he is a perfectionist and has so much patience. He has made me feel so much more confident with my smile! Thank you so much Hamish you are AMAZING at what you do!! Nina - the loveliest dental nurse, always so welcoming and friendly. Sophie - the most amazing hygienist, I nearly fall asleep each time! She is so gentle and never in a rush to clean your teeth. Woodborough house - The absolute best! xx
Thank you Ami for such lovely feedback - it's always lovely to see you at the practice. Best wishes, WH
Fantastic experience: So glad to have found a truly sympathetic dentist, as I'm a nervous patient and I hate dentist visits. Unfortunately, she is now leaving. I'm hoping Woodborough has another dentist similar to Celine, as I'm going to miss her banter, which calms me off the bat.
Thanks Fran
We’re so pleased coming to see Celine at Woodborough has helped your nerves.
We are going to miss her but super proud of her position at Penn Uni
Our wonderful team are here to look after you and your nerves moving forward ❤️
We pride ourselves on looking after and calming our patients
Fantastic experience: A very welcoming, caring and professional service. The tests and consultation were extremely thorough and everything was explained well. The equipment and hygiene standards are excellent. I felt confident that I was in safe hands.
Thanks so much Suzanne
We are always striving to be the best
It’s wonderful to hear about your experience.
Fantastic experience: The environment of the practice was cozy and neatly maintained. The specialist, Dr. Sally McCarthy and her assistant (Kareen ) are really professional. Dr. McCarthy convincingly did a superb work on the root canal treatment. The entire process was meticulously handled and explained. The diagnosis, treatment process and outcome were fully documented. I thank for their patience with me and their hospitality as well. The receptionist and administrators were also nice and polite which extended a very comfortable feeling.
Thanks Felipe - thankfully things seem to be getting back to normality!
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasant welcome from reception team. Excellent treatment from Rupert and dental nurse. Very kind and reassuring. Rupert is extremely skilled and determined to achieve the perfect result and he has!! Thank you.
That’s great to hear Doreen
Thanks for sharing your experience
We are looking forward to seeing you at your next visit! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Outstanding service today, visited the hygienist and dentist. I feel that this dental surgery is always respectful, professional and dedicated towards making a difference to my teeth. I maintain that this is the best dentist I have ever had.
Wow!
That’s high praise and we’re so proud to hear that Annette. Thanks for putting your trust in us!
Fantastic experience: I would like to say thank you to Nick Fahey for his fantastic help. I am an extremely nervous patient and was referred to Nick for complex extractions. I cannot recommend him enough for his professional skill and great 'bedside manner' explaining the procedures, why it was required, his patience and humour, which helped to reassure me and calm my nerves. The procedures went very well and I'm very happy! I would also like to thank Celine Higton who saw me for my initial appointment and could not have been more perfect for a very nervous patient in considerable pain, and who also had great patience, terrific humour and kindness. Amy, Sophia and Holly were also involved in my treatment and were all lovely and supportive with excellent professionalism. Laura and Mandy were both a great support in their roles looking after Nick and Celines patients...and are also professional, warm and calming. Woodborough House has an exceptional team of people. Posted on behalf of J Philcox.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Looking after our patients is what we love and why we do what we do.
Nick is a wonderful clinician with exceptional skills but he couldn’t do what he does without the wonderful team around him
Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend Woodborough House and especially Dr. R. Monkhouse if anyone is in desperation for high quality fine dentures. I live 2 hours drive from the surgery and it was definitely worth travelling. NHS messed it up and I was crying everyday, then I went to a very posh London dental clinic and was refused as they think my gum would not be able to hold a denture in and they can't do it. With recommendations from a highly rated dentist, I came to see Dr Monkhouse and now I have a perfectly fitted denture and can eat almost everything I used to be able to eat! The fine material used looks very close to real teeth and people can't even tell I had dentures. At a relatively young age, this really improved my quality of life and I can not say how grateful I am! The reception team was always friendly and helpful. Dr Monkhouse has always been very patient, explained each step in simple language, always very empathetic and listened to all my concerns. He always allow enough time and never rushing and has great knowledge and skills in his job. I wish the best for the clinic and the whole team! And I want to say a big big THANK YOU!
Thank you so much Yue
Dr Monkhouse is amazing at dentures!
Thank you for sharing your story to help other patients who may have dentures they can’t wear.
Feeling confident to smile is so important and we love giving patients their smile back
Fantastic experience: My appointment with Celine, for routine check and refixing a crown, was exceptional. She explained everything clearly throughout, was very thorough, and meticulous in detail. Very professional, thank you.
Wonderful to hear your feedback thank you Trevor
Fantastic experience: I saw Sally McCarthy following a referral from my dentist for a tooth that has been giving me problems for several months. She was gentle and thorough and after examination took the time to show me and talk me through the issue. There was no hard sell, only recommendations and I felt relaxed and valued as a client. I came away clearly knowing what my next course of action was and extremely happy with the service I received from Sally and the team at Woodborough House who were friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or return for further treatment if needed.
Thanks so much for your feedback Debbie.
We agree…. Sally is a true professional and highly knowledgeable and skilled. ❤️
Fantastic experience: So very pleased I received the professional care of the highest standard, well done Woodborough! I am unable to return to my old NHS dentist due to lack of trust on my part, they gave me so many reasons to leave them.
Thanks so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Nav and his assistance Ellie. Nav is professional, kind and full of patience. I have been seeing him for 2 years. I wouldn't see another dentist other than Nav ! Ellie is attentive and cheerful, looking after me so well. Great team !
Thanks Kondia
That’s great to hear. Hygiene is such an important part of our overall health and L’ren is a fantastic hygienist
