Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and reassuring staff - something that is vanishingly rare nowadays.

Fantastic experience: I visited the principal dentist several months ago with periodontal problems. After a consultation I booked to have the necessary work carried out. I went in for part one at 8.30am and then had a wait until the afternoon. I was nervous when I went up for the procedure and the dental nurse, Amanda was very reassuring and even held my hand which helped a lot!! Mark my dentist was superb and dealt with my nervousness and the actual procedure went without me even realising what had happened. I would recommend contemporary dental and staff to anyone in a position to need their help. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience and thank everyone for my care. Many thanks to all concerned

Fantastic experience: I had a tricky situation while on holiday in Devon, I had a tooth extracted while at home and while in holiday my tooth was still in a lot of pain after about 5 days. As I am going through cancer treatment and soon I had to go back in to continue with my chemotherapy, I was concerned that I had a building of infection. First of all the Contemporary Dental, after have called the whole dentist in Devonshire, was the only one which gave me an appointment to start with as no one else would, plus they gave it for the same day as clearly I needed urgent dental care. Second of all, I was greeted with an amazing professionalism from the FOH ladies, and I was seen by Mark… I found Mark to be extremely friendly but most important very knowledgeable… he saw straight away the sutuation and he helped me with a solution. After having seen him, I started to see improvement as he said within 24 hours and thanks to his action I enjoyed the rest of my holiday while not delaying my treatement when I went back home. Ps: if you are down in Devon for an holiday and you have emergency care needed to your teeth, then don’t waste your time and breath to call any other dental practice rather then this one! Thank you! Damiano
Hi Damiano,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re really glad we could help you during such a stressful time and that Mark and the team made you feel supported. It’s great to hear that you started feeling better quickly and were able to enjoy the rest of your holiday without delay to your treatment.
Take care,

Thank you for your wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: I first went to Contemporary very anxious having not had a dental appointment for 5 years, concerned about both the state and shape of my teeth, after being too scared to have (necessary) orthodontic work as a teenager. Having seen the team now on a number of occasions through hygiene, checkup and Invisalign appointments I am nothing short of delighted with my smile! The whole team are a credit to the company, with a particular personal mention to both Karen and Christina who are clear and calm and have done a brilliant job of putting me at ease and giving me pointers where necessary. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have recently completed a course of Invisalign treatment at Contemporary Dental with Karen. The whole team from start to finish have been so friendly and welcoming. Everything is thoroughly explained so you can make completely informed decisions throughout. Karen is so professional, yet creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you feel well supported and looked after. The Invisalign process was so straightforward. It took a bit of time to get used to wearing the aligners, but after a few weeks it became an easy part of my routine. I’m so happy with the results. I have always been self conscious about my teeth, and to now have confidence with my smile is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Never a "willing" dental patient, Mark and the team have looked after me really very well.

Fantastic experience: A change in dentist today as I am investigating Invisalign. I had a check up and hygienist appointment. The dentist Karen was friendly and knowledgeable and picked up 2 areas of decay that my previous dentist had missed more than once. The hygienist was very friendly and gentle and completely reassured me before the treatment which was carried out with care and skill. I have web so impressed with the practice, I think I’ll continue travelling from North Devon to have Contemporary Dental care for my teeth from now on.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Karen and our hygienist made such a positive impression during your visit.

Fantastic experience: Booked a same day emergency appointment with terrible tooth ache (not surprising as it had been 12 years since my last visit to a dentists). I received a very friendly welcome and following a couple of xrays I was told a wisdom tooth needed to be extracted. I fully expected that I would have to make another appointment but Dr Fecci said she could do it immediately. After a painless injection I was surprised to be told that the tooth had been removed - I had no idea! All done from start to finish in 30 mins and no pain at all afterwards. I cannot recommend Dr Fecci and Contemporary Dental enough and if you are reading this review worrying about a trip to the dentists you have nothing to fear!
Dear Jamie,
Wow, that sounds like a fantastic experience! It’s great to hear how quickly and smoothly everything went, especially after such a long break from the dentist. Dr. Fecci is brilliant, and it’s reassuring to know that there’s a place where you can get such compassionate and efficient care. Thanks for sharing your story—I'm sure it will help ease the worries of anyone considering a visit!
Kindest regards

Negative experience: Unfortunately my experience was not great. I waited 25 minutes for my appointment. Then when I was shown into the room the dentist barely greeted me. He had his back to me when I walked in and didn’t even look at me to say hello. His attitude and manner during the consultation was abrupt and disinterested. I will not be returning.
Dear Lorna,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the experience you had during your visit.
Due to the NHS dental crisis we are seeing an unprecedented level of emergencies and patients, we are working tirelessly through our lunch and extending clinics to see everyone. Unfortunately sometimes our dentists run late when seeing patients especially emergencies.
Your comments will be addressed with our team to ensure we improve our communication and patient care. We value your input, and if you’re open to it, we would appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly. Thank you again for your review.

Fantastic experience: It's a long-y!... I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted under IV sedation by Mark. I was told by 3 high street dentists that they would not do the procedure, until I had had a series of infections-I would then have to be referred back to an NHS hospital. I was told I would probably only have my top wisdom teeth out, to stop them from pushing food down into my lower wisdom teeth. I was also offered fillings on my bottom wisdom teeth, because of where they were and how impacted they were- I found it difficult to clean them. I was a private patient at all of these dental surgeries. I was also finding it difficult booking a hygienist appointment. ***Fast forward to Contemporary Dental!**** I booked in as a new patient, had an exam and hygiene appointment in the same visit! The x-ray showed how impacted my teeth were and Mark suggested straight away we look at getting them out asap. No worries, no stress, no talk of multiple infections or fillings... I told Mark I was abit nervous about having them out, and I realise this has been caused by previous Dentists telling me all the horror stories. I was sedated, I woke up after the procedure. I have had no bruising, no swelling, minimal pain. I'm just shocked- they're out, I'm feeling great. I got a follow up call the day after, which I found lovely. Contemporary Dental are lovely, friendly, kind, approachable people. I'm very happy with the service and care I have received and I couldn't recommend Contemporary Dentist enough. It's really nice to see the same dentist/ hygienist each time and to build a relationship. A very happy patient!
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience! We’re so glad to hear that Mark and our team were able to provide the care you needed for your wisdom teeth extraction, especially after your previous experiences.

Fantastic experience: I just recently attended a consultation with Dr Mark Russ, and I must admit having undergone many decades of dental work was still nervous too attend. Mark asked me to tell him exactly what I was looking for, and throughout my time with him and his assistant it was very pleasant. I enjoyed actually being listened too as a person, as in the past decades all works were more or less done as the dentists thought best, without much personal consultation. I had a great time, everything was cutting edge technology, from x rays, too what I believe was a 3D scan. I was very impressed. I do intend to take up my treatment plan, but as I had so many past experiences not good I will just need a bit of time to step up for the work. Many thanks to all on the day who were so very nice to me especially Mark.
It’s wonderful to hear that your consultation with Dr. Mark Russ was such a positive experience! Feeling listened to and involved in your treatment plan can make all the difference, especially after past challenges. It’s great that you were impressed by the modern technology, too. Take your time to feel ready for your treatment—it sounds like you’re in good hands! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic dental practise cannot recommend enough. The staff are exceptionally professional and super friendly using the most advanced technology to put you at ease.

Fantastic experience: First appointment with a dentist after too long to confess. Everybody at the practice was super friendly, welcoming and caring. You felt like a person not just another customer. I saw Karen and will recommend her to everybody, especially those that are anxious and not fans of the dentist. She is so friendly, compassionate and really takes her time with you, she explains and shows you everything. I felt comfortable saying stop or wait a minute except i didn't need to as she was on it and really put me at ease. Will be a customer for many years to come! Thank you so much for giving me the knowledge i am able and worthy of a good smile!
Dear Mollie,
