Marford Dental Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: It was my first appointment today and I must say I got excellent treatment, the staff were very helpful and I will definitely be going back. In fact I’ve already booked my next check up. So thanks to Svetlana and her team.
Fantastic experience: Amazing team - Had a great experience and would recommend!
Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a little nervous about visiting the dentist, but the team acompletely changed that for me. From the moment I walked in, the reception staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly efficient. The surgery itself is spotless, modern, and feels very calm. My dentist was professional and took the time to explain every step of my treatment and answer all my questions. The hygienist was equally brilliant and gave me some great tips for improving my routine at home. The whole team clearly works well together, which makes the experience smooth and stress-free. I honestly couldn’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank the staff enough! They were very reassuring and helpful. As a nervous patient I struggled with finding a dentist that helped me and made me feel comfortable and I can say without a doubt if you are nervous this place is fantastic made me feel at ease, explained everything clearly and booked me in for a hygienist appointment the same day who also was amazing and made me feel much better and always checking how I was and felt. Thank you so much! 100% recommend.
Thank you Natasha for your kind words! We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience. It means a lot to hear that our team helped you feel comfortable and supported — especially as a nervous patient.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy with the service I have had from Marford Road Dental Practice. I have had horribly crooked teeth for years, with overlaps and teeth out of line. I finally decided to do something for myself and started Invisalign. I was show how my teeth were predicted to move and guided through the process step by step. I had regular check ins where my progress was monitored and adjustments made if necessary. I am now having some finer adjustments to get it as close to perfect as possible. I have so much more room in my mouth now and a far better smile. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished result.
Hi Kerry, we’re so thrilled to hear about your positive experience with your Invisalign treatment! It’s fantastic to see the difference in your smile already. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Marford Dental Team

Fantastic experience: I am currently undergoing a dental implant procedure under the care of Dr Dipesh Kothari at the Marford Rd Dental Practice in Wheathampstead and felt I should share my most positive experience of both the procedure itself and the centre. I had been postponing the implant for some time, many years in fact, but never felt pressured to take action in any way by any of the dentists I had seen at the practice. Several months ago, during a routine check, I had a helpful conversation, which alerted me to the impact the gap in my teeth was beginning to have on my gum and bone as well as surrounding teeth and as a result requested a referral to the implantologist, Dr Dipesh Kothari. He made me feel at ease with his manner from the start and offered detailed explanation of the steps, options and associated risks. I never felt any doubt that I should proceed and was surprised by how unremarkable the actual implant procedure was. The local anaesthetic worked perfectly and I hardly felt anything different to dental work I had had previously, despite the very dense jaw bone I apparently have. I felt absolutely no pain as part of the healing process and only took paracetamol once or twice in the immediate aftermath. I was able to return to work immediately after the procedure. Stitches are out now and I am looking forward to my new tooth in a few weeks time. Thank you to Dr Kothari and the team at the Marford Rd Dental Practice.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Michael! We're so glad to hear that your dental implant procedure is going well. We’re honored to be part of your journey toward a healthier smile.

Marford Dental Team
Fantastic experience: My dentist is brilliant. Everything is always very efficient and everyone is welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Following a tooth implant I cannot praise enough, Dr Dipesh/Marford Road Dental surgery. Excellent & professional service from start to finish. I’ve had quite bad experiences at dentists before (but NOT Marford Road DS). However, injections and the tooth implant procedure was on the whole painless! Dr Dipesh’s explanation of the procedure, any potential side effects and during & after care was excellent throughout. Many thanks !
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with my treatment from Dr Dipesh. Having implants is not a cheap nor quick option but is well worth it in the long run. It is far preferable to the alternatives being a bridge, dentures of an unslightly gap. I have been impressed by Dr Dipesh's care and committement. The fitting was not quite right at first and had to be sent back twice as he was determined to see that it was exactly right. This was a little frustrating at the time but of course worthwhile. Each time this happened I was very relieved that I was ten minutes away from the surgery and did not have to board a plane to Istanbul.
Fantastic experience: Lovely & Friendly dentist, made me feel really comfortable when I’ve been previously super anxious.
Fantastic experience: My son's dentist has always seen us on time and always has very helpful advice as my son is on loads of medications.
Fantastic experience: Great service. Very friendly! Very happy with them
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Marford Road since 2011 and have always been so impressed with the level of care and service I receive upon each visit. Whether a planned visit or for emergency treatment, each member of the team I meet is polite, friendly and very helpful. I would very much recommend Marford Road.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been visiting Marford Road Dental for routine check-ups for a number of years and our experience has been great every time. Lucie, the receptionist is always friendly, polite and helpful. Peter is an exceptional dentist, skilled at engaging children and putting them at complete ease - he is never hurried. He goes above and beyond especially with my child with severe autism and learning disabilities by taking the time to understand her unique needs and communicate with her at her level. The practice doesn't feel like a dentist, it feels homely and our usual treatment room is calming with the added LED virtual ceiling skylights, which avoids some of the strong stimuli and sensory overload and provides a soothing effect for my child. I would absolutely highly recommend Marford Road Dental Practice to anyone who wants a similar experience.
Hi Juliana, thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you and your family have had great experiences with us over the years. It’s always a pleasure to serve such loyal patients!

Fantastic experience: Following my partner being accepted as an NHS patient, she asked if further space for myself. I was quickly accepted and seen within a week.

It's the first dentist I feel 100% comfortable within.
Hi Aaron, thank you for your positive feedback! We’re happy to have you and your partner as patients. It’s great to hear that your appointments have been informative and welcoming. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

Fantastic experience: I recently underwent a dental implant procedure at my dental practice on Marford road, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish - that’s something coming from a very nervous dental patient like me. Here’s why I highly recommend this practice: Professional, Friendly and Caring Staff: Dr. Dipesh Kothari, who performed my dental implant op, was not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease straight away addressing any concerns I had. No Cutting Corners Approach: Dr. Dipesh Kothari took the time to thoroughly explain the entire treatment process. He didn’t rush through it; instead, he ensured I understood every step. The practice’s commitment to quality was evident. They didn’t compromise on any aspect of my care, which is crucial for successful dental procedures. We were joking how they were dressed in all the protective gear as if getting ready for the heart surgery Clean and Modern Facilities: The clinic itself is pristine. The waiting area is comfortable, and the treatment rooms are immaculate. State-of-the-art equipment and a focus on hygiene reassured me that I was in capable hands. Painless Treatment: Despite my usual nervousness in the dental chair, Dr. Dipesh Kothari and his assistant made the experience surprisingly painless. The implant procedure was relatively quick, and I appreciated their efficiency without sacrificing quality. Post-Op Care and Follow-Up: After the implant, I received clear post-operative instructions. Dr. Dipesh Kothari ensured I knew exactly how to care for my new implant. The follow-up appointment was scheduled promptly, demonstrating their commitment to patient wellbeing. In summary, Marford Road Dental combines friendly service, a meticulous approach and expertise and top-notch facilities. If you’re looking for a dental practice that truly cares about its patients, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
