I would have no reservations in recommending them to anyone and have already given their brochure to a close friend. Thank you Dorset Dental Clinic I look forward to starting my treatment with you.

Fantastic experience: I broke a molar and was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t find a dentist anywhere so I tried these guys… I left a message and they got back to me within an hour. The lovely receptionist booked an appointment for me later that afternoon. The dentist then phoned me too to get more detail about my tooth problem which was a nice touch.I saw Shannon and her nurse who were incredible. All three ladies were very professional and extremely caring. I live over an hour away from Dorset dental clinic however would have no hesitation in going back there and am seriously considering using them all the time… They really were excellent. Thank you DDC… I have also just received an e mail from them with all the detail of my treatment including the picture of the x-ray they took so I can pass it on to my dentist to help him know all the information. Incredible service… Thank you again Shannon and the team.

Chase tirrit

Fantastic experience: Zusanna is truly exceptional.Her very clear explanation of everything she does, her technical expertise and her lovely manner make for an award-worthy combination in my opinion - a great recommendation by my wife! Also, I'd always return to Philip if I ever needed another implant - perfect! The whole team at DDC are first class! Nige Price (NHS GP)
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, friendly staff, very knowledgeable, explained everything and asked me if I had any questions or concerns which I didn’t, highly recommend this practice, such easy going staff and are there for you were not just a number! Thanks see you all in January
Fantastic experience: From start to finish everyone at Dorset Dental Clinc were brilliant the reception staff are so friendly. I seen Sara to have Invisalign treatment. If this is something that you are considering but unsure of , then do not hesitate you will not be disappointed. Zuzanna the Hygienist is lovely I would not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: First Class - very professional and reassuringly so. Half way through work for an implant and starting two crowns. So, one implant and three crowns later I will be staying with this practice for as long as they will have me! Phillip is at the top of his game with implants and crowns - painless procedures and 6 months later no issues. Yesterday I met Kayley to have a tooth rebuilt on the inside from composite material as only the outside face remained following an incident with some sticky food which removed an old filling! She took her time and did a very professional and painless reconstruction. I didn't think it could be done. At the same time she gave my teeth a clean up - long overdue - and did a great job with some top end kit that I'd not seen elsewhere. Nothing but praise for this practice. Update: My wife and I saw Kayley for a check up and hygiene appointment yesterday and left feeling very clean and happy with the procedures - thank you for looking after us so well! An update: Just had another appointment for a white filling and another coming up for reconstruction in white material. Kayley has already done one reconstruction for me and a year later it is as good as new compared with my previous NHS dentist who could not manage to stop it coming out. She really is adept with white filling material and gives me great confidence - which is why I return. Thank you! An Update, Just had a good clean up with Ankitha. Great job - thank you very much! Another Update: Ankitha did another 1st Class job with my 71 year old teeth. This is a great Practice.
Fantastic experience: Phillip and his staff are all very friendly, professional and conscientious in their approach. I have always been very impressed by the service I have been given when attending the practice. Thanks
Negative experience: I booked an emergency appointment for Monday morning. The appointment was confirmed online, so I stopped by search for a dentist. I drove 45 minutes to my appointment only to be told “sorry but our booking system must have glitched, but we don’t have space for you”. What a massive waste of time. Don’t offer emergency appointments with online booking if your booking system does not work!!!! Won’t be using these jokers again.
Fantastic experience: I was super nervous about my appointment but everyone was so lovely, Shannon was very gentle with me and explained everything thoroughly , all my fears have been taken away. Thank you so much x
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience, all the staff were amazing. My appointment was with Georgina and she was absolutely brilliant
Fantastic experience: The appointment I had was very informative and well presented for what I am looking for. The young lady in particular "Charlotte" was also very helpful with explaining and exploring various treatments and applications available, am certainly mulling over them for the time being.
Fantastic experience: I have only had 2 appointments so far but they have been very professional, made to feel at ease and my 2 dental implants were done by Philip and he has done an amazing job - went back for a post op appt with Ben and he explained everything to me about forthcoming appts and I would not hesitate to recommend this Dental Clinic
Fantastic experience: First time of visiting the Dorset Dental Clinic. I was very impressed with how friendly everyone was , how caring and how professional. I would highly recommend them , especially if you have any worries or concerns about visiting a dentist.
Fantastic experience: This is my first ever visit to a dental facility. i didn't really know what to expect as it was apparent i couldn't "run away" from the dentist any longer. Right from the entrance, i was warmly welcomed. i felt i was visiting a friend i hadn't seen in a long while. This feeling made me more relaxed, while being attended to by a member of staff. This initial consultation went well as the staff patiently took me through available options specific to my issue, the fees (though kind of high), and the payment plans, assuring me that the surgery would work with me on whichever option i can afford to take. No regrets, though.
Fantastic experience: Just visited this practice for the first time absolutely lovely staff and very patient with a very nervous person. Full confidence with my treatment for the future
Fantastic experience: Best Dental Practice in the area all the staff are amazing and the Clinical Team are so professional.

Fantastic experience: Excellent first class service from start to finish. I felt extremely at ease. I had two front crowns replaced. The process took only a fortnight to complete. Benjamin and Kasia were very professional throughout with a kind and caring nature. Everything was explained to me as the treatment took place and Benjamin was very gentle. The reception staff were very polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend. Thank you so very much.
