Stoke Newington Dental Clinic

Fantastic experience: All round great experience. Both hygenist and dentist give clear advice and guidance. I’m deaf and they take time to make sure I am understanding what they say.

Fantastic experience: professional, passionate, and caring paediatric dentist @ SNDPshoutout especially to Fatima & Georgiana please stay as you are sincere & delivering urgent care & service to patients☺️

Negative experience: Dentist didn't refer me to a hospital after the first appointment even though he said he would and at the second appointment didn't refer me to another private practice even though he said he would. Reception also said that they weren't able to include the dentist's name on the invoice.

Fantastic experience: Nice dentist surgery, always welcoming, clean and have a good availability of appointments! Always so attentive and good at explaining procedures!

Fantastic experience: Always great service. Friendly receptionists. Great service from dentist who treats my whole family and appreciate her asking after family members. Have been a client for circa 50 years. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Maleeha has treated both me and my daughter. We are very pleased with her work and as always a polite and friendly individual

Negative experience: Disappointing. Hygienist was 20mins late for my appointment, tried to up-sell a service as soon as I sat down, then did a 13 minute, light clean. £80, for 13 minutes, providing a substandard clean. A joke, honestly; they should be ashamed, especially in this delivery for private patients. Now, instead of having an appointment again in six months, I'll need one in three. There's no way I'll go back to this clinic.

Fantastic experience: On time, lovely receptionist and friendly, chatty dentist. All round a very pleasant trip to the dentist!

Fantastic experience: I think Hamish does above and beyond other dentists have done for me in years! Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: Highly rated. I have been coming here for years and have always been very happy with it.

Fantastic experience: My dentist Anca was thorough and took her time to answer my questions. The manager Dana is lovely, she helped me with all my forms and to book my next appointments. Overall I felt like I was in good hands.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Maleeha at this clinic, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The office was clean, modern, and calming, a huge plus for anyone who feels nervous about dental visits.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and sympathetic dentist and other staff. My likely options explained clearly.

Negative experience: Same as their other clinic same road : I’m Reporting to NHS. I live within 5 mins of this clinic. have been trying to register since before I got pregnant 14 months ago. I ask every few months and they have NEVER taken NHS patients so this is a LIE at this point. I have now passed the point of being able to use maternity exemption. Don’t register as NHS if you stopped taking any nhs patients for over 2 years. Receptionist confirmed over phone they haven’t registered new nhs patient in years.

Fantastic experience: None my dentist was lovely

Negative experience: I’ve been registered with this clinic for over 5 years and treatment has been hit or miss at best. Appointments are rushed and lack attention. I have not felt like the dentists listen to my concerns or properly advise me on treatments, I’ve left feeling as though the treatment I received was bordering on negligent. I do not trust the dentists here with my care.

Fantastic experience: Kind, friendly and very professional

Fantastic experience: Stoke Newington dental surgery is fantastic with great attention to detail. The reception Janet just makes the journey from start to finish so easy and is such a lovely lady.

Fantastic experience: Dental Hygienist was very professional - she was knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. She explained very clearly how i can better floss my teeth. Best hygienist I've ever had!

Fantastic experience: Friendly reception team and had a wisdom tooth removed by Chris who was very knowledgable and put me at ease all the way through the procedure. Would highly recommend

Negative experience: Been a nhs patient here for over 15 years - always very happy with them until now. Called to make an appointment, for a check up and told I’ve been taken off the nhs list, I’d been seen in the last 3 years but not the last 2 - without letting me know they’ve taken me off the list, but will see my as a private patient, cost of check up and clean £180 ! Receptionsist just kept telling me ‘it’s nhs policy to remove patients who haven’t been seen within 2 years’ - when I asked why didn’t they send a reminder text like they used to I was told there were too many patients? But that never used to stop them sending reminder texts that a check up was due ?? just another example of stokey’s over gentrification - they clearly only want patients who can pay private costs…

Fantastic experience: Pain free after visiting this Dentist I was in agony over the weekend left a message on their answer phone I wasn't sure anyone will get back the Manager called me Monday morning offering me an appointment the very same day. The dentist explained why I am in pain, took X-rays and included me in making the decision over which treatment is being carried out. I can definitely recommend them very efficient.

Fantastic experience: My dentist is very friendly, chatty and always remembers my medical history :)

Negative experience: NHS Constitution for England 1. The NHS provides a comprehensive service, available to all It is available to all irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity or marital or civil partnership status. The service is designed to improve, prevent, diagnose and treat both physical and mental health problems with equal regard. It has a duty to each and every individual that it serves and must respect their human rights. At the same time, it has a wider social duty to promote equality through the services it provides and to pay particular attention to groups or sections of society where improvements in health and life expectancy are not keeping pace with the rest of the population. The dentists are fine but don't expect any compassion from the Practice Manager and her enablers if you do fall into any of the above categories. Don't bother arguing just go to a better Practice.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly service from reception to Hygienist and dentist. Would highly recommend.

Negative experience: This clinic is discriminatory in its treatment of NHS patients vs private ones. It tricked me into paying private fees (despite me being very clear I only wanted treatment on the NHS) and now refuses to give me an appointment even though I'm registered. Avoid.

Fantastic experience: Hygienist is very friendly, she explained everything so I understood and very happy with the results!

Fantastic experience: Anca at Stoke Newington Dental Clinic is a great dentist. Great manners. Is able to put you at ease.

Fantastic experience: The best dental practice I’ve ever been to friendly helpful front of house great informative dentist and very efficient dental assistant a five star experience fully recommended

Fantastic experience: The dentist is great. Friendly, reassuring, explained options/costs clearly. Have a great maternity leave.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has extreme anxiety of medical interactions, needles and dentists. The dentist at Stoke Newington Dental Clinic has gradually and patiently reduced this fear by dealing with her slowly, understandingly with gentle patience.

Positive experience: My Dentist service is always friendly, professional, helpful and takes time to explain procedures and pricing.

Fantastic experience: Able to get an emergency appointment quickly which was negotiated by your receptionist. Issues clearly explained as well as possible future treatment and cost.

Fantastic experience: We really like Hemish as our new dentist. He makes the boys (4&2) feel really comfortable, he is super friendly and helpful. Very happy with him

Fantastic experience: My first visit to a dentist in a very long time and all the staff at Stoke Newington Dental Practice were friendly from the off. The dentist and hygienist were both efficient and clear with their communication so any worries I had about the procedures were quickly dispelled. The treatments (a replacement filling and a thorough cleaning) were excellent. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff Hygienist and dentist Both great at what they do good advice on maintaining good teeth And explanations was good

Positive experience: Have used this dental practice for years. Results are always very good.

Fantastic experience: Staff were Kind, Friendly and Helpful and the Dentist was Thorough!

Fantastic experience: Staff was very helpful at reception, Dentist dealt with my issue, gave relevant advice she was very patient and gentle when examining Mouth.

Fantastic experience: Friendly reception. No delays with the appointment. Friendly, knowledgeable, no nonsense dentist. I've been going to this dentists regularly for decades and will continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant dentist Anca provides exceptional treatment.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, very accommodating and wonderful service from all involved

Fantastic experience: The Customer Service is great and the dentist are professional and know what they are doing. Plus they really care about the clients.

Negative experience: This is the worst dental practice I have ever attended. I visited this practice several times before ultimately leaving. On both occasions I went to the dentist, he was rough while examining my teeth, using a sharp pointed instrument to deliberately stab my gums, making me feel as though I was being assaulted. During my last visit, the dentist insisted that I needed fillings in one of my molar teeth, which he had mentioned during my previous visit, but it didn't seem like a significant issue as I wasn't experiencing any pain. However, this time he claimed that two teeth needed fillings, one on each side of my mouth. I became suspicious because I had no issues with the tooth on the other side of my mouth. The dentist then offered to do both fillings for a discounted price of £150, claiming it was a special offer as it would usually cost more. I declined the offer and decided to seek care elsewhere, visiting another dental practice on Stoke Newington High Road. I informed the dentist there about my experience at stoke Newington Dental Clinic . After examining my teeth, he reassured me that they were all fine except for a small crack in one tooth that had been causing slight discomfort. He assured me that there was definitely no need for fillings in any of my teeth. He applied a gel-type substance over the cracked tooth, and since then, I have experienced no pain. I have lost trust in this dental practice, and I am aware another who had or worse, experiences than me.MY ADVICE IS IF YOUR TOLD YOU NEED A FILLING OR TEETH REMOVED GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER DENTAL CLINIC.

Negative experience: I went in for a check up assuming I was registered as a NHS patient and got a filling. At no point during or before the procedures when I was advised to get a filling was cost mentioned or did anyone confirm I was an NHS patient. When I was slapped with a £455 bill at the end I said I was an NHS patient and that wasn't right. I was then told that if I had booked over the phone they would have confirmed whether I was private or not but since I booked over email this was not done. There is no way I should have been able to receive fillings without anyone checking my status when a practice offers both private and nhs services. I didn't want the police called on me for not paying so I paid but I feel that other people should be warned to double check! Even the NHS website says that practices are supposed to check before carrying out the treatment plan. Please be warned.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist. Very informative. Knows what she’s doing. Highly recommend.

Negative experience: Very disappointing service and very undermining to patients. If you cannot Afford private high fee service, you are rendered worthless. Sadly this is becoming an issue across all clinics. I was a regular patient and I learnt that I have been taken off the records and I can only return if I pay high registration fees on top of the service. If I cannot pay private fees , I cannot join.

Fantastic experience: Madiha & Aga was really professional helpful and provided excellent care and assistance! Definitely recommend!

Negative experience: I registered at this practice as an NHS patient about 15 years ago or thereabouts if memory serves me right. About 7 years ago, the dentist stopped doing a scale and polish during the annual or biannual check up and asked me to book with the private hygienist instead, even though Band 1 of NHS treatment includes a scale and polish. Tired of arguing, as I know this is now common practice everywhere, I complied, and because they had a couple of incredibly good hygienists (who are no longer there) I continued using the practice even when I moved away. Now I have a minor dental worry and I wanted to book a check up with the dentist, only to be told that I have been deregistered as an NHS patient because I have not had a check up with the dentist since 2016. But I have been attending the practice and spending my money there twice a year! Why didn't someone warn me that I could lose my NHS patient status? There were plenty of opportunities. I, and my partner, will not be visiting this surgery anymore. PS The receptionists have always been lovely and professional.

Negative experience: There was no effort made to verify my payment or exemption status and instead of receiving an invoice for a £25 check up i received a £100 penalty fine for non payment from the NHS . The office where totally non plussed and frankly could'nt have cared less .This is the second fine i received from using this practice , the first time was partly my ignorance of my exemption status and the reception once again not clarifiyng or outlining what exemption was . Fobbed off with " it's the patients responsibility " .Terms and conditions should be made as clear and direct, as their self promotion and dental cosmetic services are . After using this practice for over 15 years i think it's time for a change .

Fantastic experience: I had my appointment with Dr. Anca Todirascu for a checkup today and it was so much fun, she is extremely efficient, personable with a great sense of humour. I am so happy I registered with this dentist.

Negative experience: We are registered patients with this dentist for years I have tried to book my kids recently for check up and I was told to call in few months because they have no availability for nhs patients only for private they could book us straight away. Very bad experience. 0 STARS for discriminating nhs patients

Negative experience: I have given this practise so many chances, assuming that them running as late as they do is just a one off. It isn't. I see the dentist for my first appt on time. The hygienist I had to wait 20 minutes to see while she chatted away about holidays to her last patient AFTER THEY WERE FINISHED. OK, irritating but not a dealbreaker for me. The next appt I have, they call me and ask if I would come in earlier as the dentist needs to leave early now. I agree and leave work early to help out. I waited 90 minutes to be seen. When I asked reception why I received a call asking me to come early they blamed it on the dentist. When I saw the dentist I told her what had happened and she blamed the receptionist. I got a vm later that day apologising. My next appt I am sitting there and my dentist turns up 5 minutes after the appt time and hurriedly gets ready. So 10 to 15 minutes late or so. Again, I kind of take it as it comes. The next time I go there I ask if she's running late, I'm told yes, when I asked for a ball park time she refuses to go in and ask. I need a new crown. They quoted me 950. Being fed up with their disrespect for their patients time, I contact another dentist office and the crown is quoted as 100 quid cheaper. Honestly, this practise is overpriced, staffed by fed up looking receptionists who openly show their irritation when you ask basic questions, and can't seem to run even slightly on time. I will never go back here.

Fantastic experience: Anka is really good dentist - she's v friendly and clear about what's involved and what to expect from procedures

Fantastic experience: My 5 stars are purely for Maleeha the hygienist - a wonderful person and professional.

Fantastic experience: Extremely efficient staff. Chris is without doubt an excellent dentist, I'm so lucky that I've found this practice, I've been coming for years and the service is always first rate.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this dentist for six years or more. I have to say it's a fantastic dentist. Karen, the dentist was lovely and communicated everything clearly with me. The dental nurse, sorry I can’t remember her name was also very friendly. Well worth the five stars

Negative experience: My confidence took a hit when my two front teeth had chipped and, having waited an eon for my appointment, I was relieved to finally sit in the chair knowing I would be able to smile freely again.. However, after the treatment, something felt odd: I wasn't handed a mirror to check the dentist's handy work. When I asked for a mirror, their reaction made me feel like I'd made an unusual request. The dentist's assistant proceeded to rummage through the cabinets looking for a mirror - as if it was something they never use. When I finally looked in the mirror, I understood their reluctance: I was horrified to see my two front teeth had been 'fixed' in a zig-zag fashion. You know what the dentist's reply was, when I said they were wonky and asked if they could be straightened? "Not on the NHS" Basically, I could have them straight if I paid privately but, on the NHS, they have to be crooked! If this is the level of decency, we're screwed.

Fantastic experience: took my daughter to this practice through 111. Dr Amit and Kuljit were amazing!

Fantastic experience: Was a bit nervous coming here for the first time as reviews weren't all great but I've been so impressed with them. I'm very nervous of the dentist but Dr. Freya was really lovely, reassuring and understanding. The receptionists are lovely too! The private treatments are expensive but I was really pleased to get registered as an NHS patient (I thought that was near impossible these days!).

Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting for approx 13 years now. Never had any issues. Initial dentist I had for years wasn’t the friendliest but always thorough and professional. New dentist this week was super friendly and helpful. Great with kids too. Receptionists professional and helpful. No complaints here!

Positive experience: Have recently seen Anke (Dentist) & Malina (Hygenist) (apologies if I have misspelled names ). Having previously had a couple of bad experiences with dentists over the years, I am extremely happy seeing both Anke and Malina. Anke has helped me with a few teeth (some historical problems) and just revived treatment and advice in an extremely professional way that not only made me feel less anxious about the experience and future work but at ease during the procedures also. Extremely informative and patient with me. Malina I saw for hygiene work and again, very friendly and welcoming, extremely good advice for future dental health and hygiene and just made the experience extremely easy and left feeling I had been treated by two individuals who wanted the best for my health. Thanks again and thankful to have found this practice.

Positive experience: Freya ( dentist) is an Earth Angel. My son is always very nervous going to the dentist, but when he sees Freya, he is always at ease. She has a very calm temperament and works extremely well with children. Thanks for all you do Freya!

Fantastic experience: I always have a lovely reception, I am treated with professionalism, in a timely, friendly manner. The environment is also pleasant. Simona Scarlett

Fantastic experience: They deserve their rating on Google review Nice place, saw two different dentists and both were good

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience. Great communication. Clean. Friendly

Fantastic experience: AllI wanted was a check up. I was taken into the dentist room in time. I was treated as an understanding adult and everything was explained to me. Because things had been as they are for years and don’t trouble me, I was told I could leave them be. So other than a check up and X-rays, I had a rough patch on a back tooth smoothed so it no longer bothers me. I was very happy that my teeth were well attended to.

Negative experience: Not for a nervous patient. All the staff need a personality transplant. The dentist had a one monotone voice the nurse made no effort to smile or the receptionist. I left without treatment because they did not put me at ease at all A miserable bunch.

Fantastic experience: I have been having attending this dental clinic for more than 5 years. The Reception Team and Dental clinicians are fabulous . Sincere thank you

Fantastic experience: This is this only dentist practice I’ve ever used. Front of house staff are always super helpful and friendly and my dentist Chris is a great, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was seen 25 minutes early. I got clear advice and follow up. It was clean, polite and friendly.

Fantastic experience: The staff were all super friendly, and Chris (my dentist) is always friendly, supportive and explaining in detail before, during and after procedures. He is also a nice guy to chat to generally!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for about 12 years. Nothing much needed during that time until recently when my wisdom teeth needed removing. I couldn’t have been in safer hands. Extractions were quick and as smooth as could be. Dentist Chris, you’re the best! All of the hygienists I’ve seen have been awesome too

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the dentist FREYA, who put me at ease and gave me a filling as the current one had come out. I have been to the hygenist MALEEHA a few times. Maleeha does a really good and I would recommend highly, in fact the reception staff are very helpful.
