Histon Dental Surgery: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.
Positive experience: I've changed my review because after my frustration with the difficulty to get an appointment through the receptionist, they phoned me to rearrange a time that could work for me. The dentists and the nurses are very professional, and the clinic is really clean and hygienic.
Fantastic experience: Awesome as always! Fast, Efficient, Fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Miss Aml Amish is the best hygienist I have ever had. She is kind, gentle, adjusting the amount of water for me on my sensitive teeth. Does not cause undue pain and discomfort. She is the best.
Fantastic experience: Really on smooth visit and friendly knowledgable staff.
Fantastic experience: I have recently attended the practice for a hygienist visit with Felicity Price. I was surprised how much difference I’d see and feel in my teeth as a result and I’m really happy with the level of care and advice I received! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, marvelously professional, friendly and caring. Very customer orientated practice, including reception staff, dental nurses and dental hygienists. Feel genuinely lucky to still have an NHS dentist locally.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly practice helping to answer any queries and putting you at ease. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, reception is accommodating and Dr Arjay is great. Had fillings done and he showed me the before and after noting the particular areas of concern. Best Dental Practice we’ve used as a family, NHS or private.
Fantastic experience: Ease of check in the dental practice. My hygienist Felicity is very punctual and thoroughly clean my tooth carefully.
Fantastic experience: Great! I’m an extremely nervous customer & find it very very difficult to visit the dentist - kept completely at ease and despite the fear - still want to get treatment. It’s saved my teeth and helped me smile.
Positive experience: Fantastic dentist in Marylene. She’s always very friendly. Only downside is I never seem to get in on time to any of my appointments. I appreciate delays happen, sometimes it can be over 30 minutes though. Thank you though for being such a great dentists
Fantastic experience: Professional helpful and very informative...
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the dental hygienists...
Fantastic experience: We have been patients for over 16 years. Nicola has been a great dentist, very caring, proactive and helpful. We are very sad that she is retiring from the NHS provision. All the staff are very friendly and helpful whenever we visit.
Fantastic experience: Always a positive experience and always manage a chat before and after! Very professional and friendly
Fantastic experience: Great service from all staff at this practice. Thank you.
Negative experience: What a shocking, rude and unhelpful staff. I have been taking my son to this clinic for years and I never has received such a patronising treatment by the reception staff. I asked to get an appointment for my son and the receptionist asked me what time/s would I like the appointment in May, so I obviously thought there was some space that month. She said that no appointment in the afternoon for May and offered me one in June. I then asked if she could check any other time in May and she responded that there were no appointments in May. No sure why she ask me in the first place what times in May. Anyway, she was extremely unhelpful and basically with the attitude of “computer say nooo”. I asked her to send me the reminder to my email which I didn’t receive, so I have to call again and another lady responded. I have to asked her to send again but this new lady asked me to wait, but I had to insist to send me the email again because I was certain the other lady would not have sent the email. I mean, I don’t think is a massive deal to resend an email, is it? I don’t understand why people like that work for the public, if they’re unhappy with their job, please quit or do something else but far away from the public
Fantastic experience: The reception staff, the hygienist, the dental nurse AND the dentist all show immense professionalism and care for their patients. I moved here from a previous practice (where I'd been for 40 years) with some trepidation and am delighted!
Fantastic experience: Up to date surgery with welcoming staff. Unbiased advice given. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Lovely dentist, Kind staff!
Fantastic experience: I visited Miss Ami Amish, their hygienist, today. She is a lovely lady and did a great job cleaning my teeth and was very gentle. She made me feel at ease and explained everything she was doing throughout my appointment. Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing you again next year! ☺️

Fantastic experience: Always a very good service with a smile so no complaints from me.
Fantastic experience: Had my first NHS appointment with Dr Arjay and he was fantastic. Explained everything to me and was just down to earth. Not pushy at all and just offered me such great care. All the staff were just kind decent people which makes a massive change from the private healthcare experience I’ve had to go through while trying to get on NHS books.

Fantastic experience: Never had an issue with them. Really courteous and professional. My experience is only with regular check ups and standard treatment so can't opine on more extensive or complicated procedures.
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient, needing quite a lot of work. My dentist has been very efficient, thoughtful and considerate, treating an awkward set of teeth and carefully discussing the options at each stage. The hygienist, too, has worked miracles and my teeth are transformed! I am really grateful to them and to the helpful nurse and very obliging and sympathetic receptionists. This is obviously an outstandingly effective and caring practice - I have had no discomfort and, it is a pleasure to attend
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very kind and efficient. Makes going to the dentist an okay experience!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, caring and helpful staff. My wife is highly vulnerable to Covid and we have been shielding for 5 years now. So happy to see that the staff were wearing face masks and visors. More than be said about Addenbrookes!
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much for an excellent extraction, and a wonderful service. I would highly recommend you.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Konstantinos Lentzos and Nurse Agata Wrobe were both very kind and friendly. My daughter is pretty shy, but they made an effort to chat with her in a fun, relaxed way, which really helped her feel comfortable. The check-up was quick and smooth, and the reception staff were efficient and helpful too.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Histon Dental Surgery. Every time I visit my dentist Dr Nicola Courtney-Jones, I receive exceptional treatment and care. I recently had an appointment with the hygienist Miss Price too. I couldn't believe how clean and white my teeth were after the appointment. The nursing team is always helpful, kind, and polite. The admin team do their best to book appointments that fit my schedule and responds to any queries thoroughly and promptly. The surgeries are clean and organised to the highest standard. This clinic offers a wide range of specialised services and dental treatments and is equipped with modern technology and equipment.
Fantastic experience: Efficient and reliable service over quite a few years
Negative experience: Dentist check up was fantastic cannot fault 5 * however booked an appointment after my first check up (nhs) for a basic hygienist as i was unable to attend called and emailed having a mouth sore confirmed by a pharmacist couldn't attend it ,I was asked by Iwona to send a photo of proof..wow! ,insisting on the £79 change...which i will pay soon. Has anyone else been asked to send photo mouth sore proof anywhere?
Fantastic experience: Excellent Dental team and facility. Really appreciate the team's skill and knowledge levels on the services I have received.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic all round , i was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Great work Thankyou so much , would recommend to all
Fantastic experience: Lost a filling, checked and fixed on the same visit, very quick.
Fantastic experience: Really nice hygienist. Very considerate. Also she didn't give me a big lecture about flossing my teeth more and was just encouraging which I appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Amaising, can't believe it. I was seen within 2 hrs . Broken double tooth filled . Going on holls in one week and I was concerned that it couldn't be mended before I left .It was. Thank-you everyone involved Charlotte
Fantastic experience: The best dental surgery ever my teeth have never been so good thanks to Dr Nicola Courtney -jones
Fantastic experience: I had a large re-filling of a molar. It looks very good. Thank you Marylene! I was in the chair for nearly an hour and found the headrest got increasingly uncomfortable. Otherwise absolutely no complaints.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient re time of appointment. The dentist was very nice and gave me lots of useful information re looking after my teeth. All staff friendly and professional .
Fantastic experience: Been with this dental surgery for many years, I have always found them very friendly and very efficient
Fantastic experience: Dr Shonia Nayar Atchu is very kind & professional. She took care of my feeling very well. She compared my latest X-ray vs my last one and explained to me in detail. She even provided a best solution for my easy-get-stain problem which was out of my expectation.
Fantastic experience: Not my favourite way to spend a Friday morning - having a root canal filling! Marylene was however attentive and informative, the whole process was relatively pain-free, and I felt genuinely cared for, and kept appropriately aware of what was happening throughout. I take it as a mark of skilful surgery that I suffered no significant pain after the anaesthetic wore off.
Fantastic experience: Appointment with hygienist Miss Ami Amish, I was seen promptly, very courteous and clear in explaining what I needed to do with my future brushing etc. The cleaning process was very thorough and not at all painful, the best hygienist visit I have ever had! I now need to wield my TePe brushes & toothbrush to maintain my gleaming gnashers in their pristine state. Thoroughly Recommended.
Fantastic experience: Visited the hygienist today and she was extremely pleasant and explained every step of her process.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental treatment given with perfect care and consideration, as is always the case at Histon Dental Surgery. Never have to dread going to the the dentists, as I did before going to this practise. It’s an enjoyable experience now. So grateful!

Fantastic experience: Easy to book and the dentist who treats me is very patient and knowledgeable. Thanks a lot.
Fantastic experience: I had an upper wisdom tooth extracted yesterday. Having had a very unpleasant extraction when I was a child, I was rather stressed before the visit. Dr Cotta was most understanding and I felt completely reassured by the time the work began. It was quick and painless and I am now recovering well at home. Thank you for this!
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to go to Histon Dental Surgery. Lady dentist lovely and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Very good attention to pain management for my tooth extraction - used numbing cream before injection. And checked local anaesthetic was actually working. Impressive
Fantastic experience: Great service, very lucky to have such a good practice.
Fantastic experience: Although I cannot reveal how many teeth I possess, for operational reasons, I counted them all in, and I counted them all out. No teeth were lost during my visit here, and I live to gnash another day.

Fantastic experience: What a great dentist this is the people are always polite and friendly and my dentist is brilliant Dr Nicola Courtney - Jones am so glad that I have now got a great dentist thankyou everyone
Fantastic experience: Rang on day due to suspected abscess. I know how busy the practise is but they were able to fit me in despite my own dentist at the practice being on holiday. In these days of oversubscribed and under pressure dental practices it is indeed a rarity to have such a gem. Everything from the receptionist dealing with me on the phone to the treatment was exceptional and i know they saved me a great deal of pain by their prompt intervention. Regards Kelvin
Fantastic experience: Great team, excellent dentist in Shonia Nayar Atchu, She always makes you feel comfortable, she is highly professional & knowledgeable. Would highly recommend her and the practice. 5*
