Fairfield House Dental Surgery: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, no waiting. Lovely appointment with Poppy.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient & speedy service with knowledgeable, polite & friendly staff.
Positive experience: I'm happy with the practice as a whole. I have one small thing. When booking an appointment, one time a receptionist tried to give my daughter an appt. at school time. When I explained that I would have to take time off (i would've had to find a cover at work too) and pull her out of school. I'm a solo parent with no help from family working in a small preschool. The receptionist raised her voice and said that then I have to wait another 2 months. Then she gave me an appt sooner in the evening. Which was great. Basically bit more understanding for working parents please because we don't know people's personal situations.
Fantastic experience: Good care and informative service. Very happy with outcome.
Fantastic experience: My dentist is Poppy and she is brilliant, I owe my confident smile to her. If I require another appointment for treatment after a check up, it is invariably very soon after.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my daughter have Poppy as our dentist, she always makes us feel relaxed and explains what she is doing which is lovely because I am a nervous patient. Poppy is a lovely dentist and I'm so pleased we have her. Fairfield are a excellent practice and we have been patients for quite few years now.
Fantastic experience: After my initial appointment and the wonderful treatment I had then, as a new patient, I approached my 2nd apt, with no worry at all. Poppy and her team were just absolutely fantastic. So gentle, kind, patient and informative. My issue was resolved and for the first time in a very long time my mouth felt free of pain and sensitivity. I cannot recommend Fairfield enough.

Positive experience: I consider my dentist and the various hygienists that I have seen to be very professional in the way that they provide dental care to me. I believe that the communication process used by the practice is also very good. I would happily recommend the practice to new patients and have always been happy with the dental care I have received.
Fantastic experience: It's always a pleasure to visit the dentist.
Positive experience: The dentist I saw was lovely, he looked after me well. It’s a shame that the practice manager won’t let me bring my children to see the same dentist as me due to them being a in a different list, so know I have to go multiple extra times a year. Unfortunately my daughter now has a fear of the dentist due to the current dentist she sees, but she’s not allowed to come with me?
Fantastic experience: Great,had a same day emergency appointment
Fantastic experience: The Staff made Daisy feel comfortable and informed her of the procedure as we went along
Fantastic experience: Robert Mew has been my main dentist for many years and I have nothing but praise for his excellent dental work, patience and friendly nature.
Fantastic experience: Saw my new dentist today after a rather painful visit for a tooth extraction. The Dentist i saw was very understanding that I was anxious and took things at my pace. I've now regained my confidence for my next visit.
Fantastic experience: Hi, My appointment was on time, the new Dentist introduced himself and was very pleasant and kind and informative throughout my Check Up. As always my visit was a pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, efficient reception. Great dental care. Smart premises. Top marks.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Fairfield House Dental Practice. Great professional service every visit
Fantastic experience: Really fast easy appointment very lovely guy
Fantastic experience: I went to see Emily Nicolaou.For a deep clean today.she was so kind & caring.And although it’s an experience I don’t like. She& her assistant made everything go well for me. They really deserved 5 stars. They put me at complete ease. I am a very nervous person with dental procedures. And in the past have not wanted to go again. Not the case anymore. So a big Thankyou to them both.
Fantastic experience: As always , proffesional and friendly
Fantastic experience: Dentist very caring and very good giving advice.
Fantastic experience: Very Welcoming Staff were very welcoming, polite & easy to talk to, even after I had a very bad experience with my old dentist But I always feel comfortable & confident to speak to all staff
Fantastic experience: I recently visited and was treated on your new dentist's first day. I found him very pleasant and efficient. Certainly I won't be dreading my next visit as I tended to with the last dentist who caused me a lot of pain both during and after the treatment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Needed urgent appointment for broken tooth. Offered immediate appointment that same day with dentist Joe Hancorn. He made me feel very comfortable as I have a fear of dentists due to very bad experiences when I was a child. Highly recommend him. Thank you Joe and staff.
Fantastic experience: I was so happy with Emily I hate having higenist appointments as I have such sensitive teeth and gums But Emily was amazing and applied some toothpaste for sensitive teeth and this really worked I was shocked something so simple could make this so much better for me! Emily was really professional and really knowledgeable and told me some great ways to keep my teeth looking good between appointments so thank you so much! This is probably the best hygienist appointment I've ever had and I'm recommending my husband to her as well so hopefully she will have more space when we rebook with her!! Thank you, Emily ❤️
Fantastic experience: Since first becoming a patient at this Dental Surgery in 2018 I have been impressed with the friendliness, kindness and professionalism of all the staff. Especially the dentists and nurses who have supported me through a couple of very painful experiences in the past.
Fantastic experience: No complaints, good service
Negative experience: The appointment was very quick and no care taken for the teeth that Olivia struggles with that have grown discoloured from when she was ill as a baby . All her other dental appointments with Sarah hall has always been a small amount of treatment on these teeth to help with the discolouration. We were told to book in with the hygienist which has never happened before . It is something that has always been kept an eye on but this time sadly the treatment was not at the same standard as we have had before . Why is this please ? Many thanks Emma Lance
Fantastic experience: Can’t beat Jo as a dentist has a brilliant rapour with Tommy, great dentist
Fantastic experience: A lovely welcome, greeting was friendly and efficient. Girls were helpful, knowledgeable and always professional.
Fantastic experience: It is always a pleasant welcome on visiting Fairfield. The waiting room could be a bit more inviting, no table with mags on anymore. A plant or two would take away the ‘clinical feel’ and make it a bit more relaxing. Joe James Hancon, is an exceptional, kind, considerate dentist. Always calm, speaking softly and clearly. Explains everything so well. An absolute credit to Fairfield
Fantastic experience: Appointment was on time and efficient. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I just got urgent treatment, the same day as my call, and less than 24 hours before I was leaving for a holiday to Europe.

Fantastic experience: I just want to send a huge thank you to Esther on the reception team. Her calm telephone voice and professionalism convinced me to visit the dentist for the first time in a long while. I had been completely terrified after a past traumatic dental experience (at a different dentist I must add). She guided me through the easy registration process and booked me in with a wonderful, calm dentist who listened to my concerns, and didn't rush my appointment. Thank you so much.

I took five people with me to Fairfield several years ago and we are all still there and all have the same dentist!
Fantastic experience: Seen nearly on time, very pleased overall.
Fantastic experience: Dentist well organised and good attention to detail. Receptionist very helpful.
Fantastic experience: VERY FRIENDLY STAFF, CLEAN & TIDY MAGAZINES TO READ IN WAITING ROOMS
Fantastic experience: I've always been petrified of going dentist on my own the first time I came here with someone I felt at ease and been on my own since definitely the best dentist I've been to
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, time taken to discuss options. Brilliant practice.
Fantastic experience: I hate trips to the dentist but these guys make it as seemless as possible, always seem to be running to time and in and out as quick as possible
Fantastic experience: Nothing but complementary. Efficient, friendly and, I can only speak for my dentist, I have a very good one. In my opinion, change nothing.
Negative experience: Very disappointed as was told a filling would cost between £90- £125. Had the filling done and was told it was a temporary. . I asked could I have a permanent filling and was told I need to wait to see if the tooth is ok. Tooth was ok a few days later and asked if I could have the permanent filling put in which I originally wanted, was told I would have to pay for another filling and wouldn’t be included in the treatment I have already paid for..Total would be £230 for the treatment ( a filling) I will be registering with another practice and speaking to their governing body as this is just a way to make extra money. I complained and had an email from the practice manager saying that this was normal practice. I have been a member of at least 5 practices over 50 years and have never experienced this way of treatment over a filling.
Fantastic experience: Had an appointment with Shiny who I felt was very professional and knowledgeable. She was very helpful and gave me lots of advice
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic caring team they are nothing is to much trouble even after hour iv been going to Fairfield dental practice for years I wouldn’t go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: Went in on time. Sarah Hall is very professional and gives you good and meaningful advice.
Fantastic experience: I had suffered toothache for the entire bank holiday weekend. I telephoned on Tuesday morning and was given an emergency appointment an hour later. Saw Joe who dealt with the problem and made an appointment for further treatment. It was a great relief to me. I am so lucky to be a patient at this practice as their staff and service is brilliant.
