Balsall Common Dental Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very professional experience. Treated very well. Dentist explained everything clearly allowing me to make the right decision
Fantastic experience: Good and fair information given I will Use again
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional. Excellent
Fantastic experience: I had a truly positive experience at this practice. Everyone I encountered was exceptionally kind, considerate, and reassuring, which meant a great deal to me as I was very nervous throughout—particularly as the appointment was regarding composite bonding on my front tooth. Dr. Catherine Myatt took the time to explain everything thoroughly, never rushed me, and was genuinely attentive to all my concerns. Her calm and thoughtful approach made a big difference, and I’m very much looking forward to my next appointment with her.
Fantastic experience: First time here ... came under recommendation. Prior to attending information and e mail/ text messages perfect. Professional from the minute you walk in with very pleasant reception staff . Kathy turned out to be just the dentist that I wanted ... skilful , honest, down to earth and easy to talk to . So far I can highly recommend .
Thanks for this review Chris. I look forward to sharing it with the team.
Fantastic experience: Excellent as always
Fantastic experience: Best dental practice I've ever been to. Highly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and reassuring. Look no further for your dental care.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at BC Dental Practice for a number of years . I have had to have treatment with Dr Ashley Davenport. I have found him to be non- judgemental, empathetic when needed. He is incredibly kind and patient but extremely professional delivering the tasks that were required for myself through lack of maintenance on my part. I would not consider going to another Dentist despite the fact I live in Kenilworth. All the staff are warm, pleasant and friendly . Also, hygienist Lorna Ogilvie is fantastic with her kindness and practical approach .
Fantastic experience: Excellent practice highly recommendable
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly ,making everyone welcome. Ashley and his assistants are exceptional,everything is explained in great detail and work carried out to the highest standard. Recommend to all.
Thank you for taking the time to make this recommendation Robert. It is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly dental practice with great after care advice Would recommended to anyone! Thanks ☺️
Fantastic experience: If the word dentist fills you with fear take heart. Last year I visited Balsall Common Dental Surgery (best thing I ever did) I was so afraid because I thought I knew what lay ahead., How wrong could I be.Ashley was so kind and understanding and listened to my fears and took the time to put me at ease and after a number of visits we decided on a course of treatment that was best for me.Ashley took time to explain all the options open to me and what was involved, and the cost.When the day came for my implants (4) I felt quite at ease and relaxed,and can honestly say I felt no discomfort or pain just as Ashley had promised.I can't thank Ashley and his lovely team enough for giving me back my confidence and my smile.Not to mention advice on wedding hats.Thanks to Ashley and all the team.xx
Hi Carol,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I am very proud of what you have achieved.
Well done!
It was a pleasure to help you.
Ashley
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional, helpful, accommodating and efficient.
Positive experience: Vanessa is an absolute superstar, best hygienist I've ever had. The front desk ladies are friendly, quick and sweet. Ash on the other hand made me feel uncomfortable. He chatted about my teeth and treatments like as if everything was his decision rather than mine, talked down to me like I was dumb and came across slightly full of himself. I will come back for Vanessa, not sure about Ash.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and professional attention at all times. I first used Ashley over 7 years ago for my fixed braces and tooth implant. I was so pleased with the results and attention to detail I have continued to travel to use the practice for all my dental needs. I can definitely recommend Balsall Common Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Positive first visit. From the receptionists to the dental nurses and the dentist herself, all were kind, considerate and professional. I had a few issues that needed sorting out from a previous dentist and Catherine explained exactly what needed doing, solved one issue on the spot and I am booked in for the extraction I need. I can be very nervous but felt completely at ease and not rushed. So pleased I am now with this practice. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: New client
Fantastic experience: Ashley who owns the practice has always been excellent in the 30 years that I have been seeing him. He is efficient and always produces an excellent finish. Before he does anything he always explains exactly what is involved and will answer any questions and the price. I don’t like dentists but Ashley is very understanding of how best to make you comfortable. Also he is not totally money oriented it is about your care and what is best for you and what you can afford at the time. I would only see him because of his skill and the friendly atmosphere at his practice.
Positive experience: Friendly, professional practice. Vanessa is a fab hygienist too (best I've had) - she is 5 star. However after leaving it transpired I had a loose filling put in by Ashley - I had asked him about it previously and he had decided it was ok. New dentist immediately identified during a normal check up that it was very loose and was able just to dislodge it quite easily (without me flagging the offending tooth to him). Filling had to be replaced after only a couple of years. I wish he had just been honest with me about the quality of his work - we all make mistakes. I do suspect looking back that he knew it was loose but as it had stopped bothering me, he decided just to leave it, leaving a risk of infection/decay etc. Another time I had shown him a tooth that had changed colour, asking if it was dying or anything. He said it was nothing and teeth change colour. However a couple of years later it transpired that the tooth had entirely died and a root canal was required. Again this was spotted by the new dentist during a simple check up. I'm not sure when it happened but it's clear something had started to happen while under Ashley's care which led to the colour change to blue/gray and perhaps if he had spent more time looking at it, he would have spotted something. Often his check ups did feel perfunctory, albeit a much more pleasant experience than other dentists. Knowing what I know now, I don't think I would go back.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic dentist, with great service. Always have a super experience here with Ashley and the rest of the team.
Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to this practice for >20 years and has consistently received excellent care. When my son had a broken jaw, Ashley was immediately on hand with dental support out of hours. The practice's follow up communications reflected their genuine care for their patients. More recently, my wife was diagnosed with mouth cancer and the handling was excellent. The practice chased and escalated referral appointments. Nothing was too much trouble. Whilst she was in hospital for an operation followed by radiotherapy treatment, the practice kept in touch to monitor progress and offer support. Post treatment, the check up appointment was thorough and clearly explained continuing dental risks. In a time of crisis, the practice provides family-like care and we have really appreciated it. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The team were so friendly and welcoming. Dr Davenport and his wife Kathy and the other staff members involved went above and beyond for me! I cannot thank them enough. I spent a few hours there and I saw this service offered to all the patients coming in and out. Lovely practice.
Fantastic experience: My husband had his first consultation today. Dr. Davenport provided detailed and professional suggestions.
Fantastic experience: Ashley and all the staff were very helpful and Ashley explains thing very well I feel like I'm in very safe hands
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, Ashley is great, very open with treatment options and needs. Excellent dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service as usual
Fantastic experience: SIMPLY THE BEST! I am 80 years old and in my time have experienced many dental practices, I have to say that I feel so lucky to have found Doctor Ashley at a time when my body is a little more fragile than it used to be in my youth. The treatment is absolutely first class, I particularly like the fact that Ashley always has time to discuss ongoing treatment with you and gives you a series of options to fit both your pocket and your lifestyle. I have reached the stage where I needed a denture something I really dreaded, the surgery has a new digital mapping technique where they make a 3-D model of your mouth, my new denture fits like a glove and functions just like my original teeth, I am absolutely thrilled. I recommend the practice to you without hesitation, whatever your age or your condition Balsall Common Dental practice will have the solution.
Thanks for these exceptionally kind words Peter.
We will try a bit harder next time to see if we can improve enough for you to give us that 5th star.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service from all the team. The dentists - Ashley and Catherine are both highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional.
Fantastic experience: The appointment was for an inspection only and both hygenist and dentist did what I expected of them and I was fully satisfied.
Fantastic experience: Today was my first appointment at this practice with Dr Catherine Myatt. I have never had an appointment so thorough, friendly and not rushed. She talked through absolutely everything and I felt I knew more about my teeth than I have ever done! You can tell that Dr Myatt really takes pride in her work and makes sure you receive the best care. The dental nurses and reception staff were also extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I found Ashley to be very helpful and professional,I normally feel tense with a dentist but Ashley made me feel calm
Fantastic experience: Have really struggled, in the past, to find a dental practice that is as supportive, knowledgable and professional as the team here at Balsall Common. I am so relieved to have received treatment of the highest standard. I had a tooth pulled and I am thrilled; COMPLETELY painless. I really appreciate all of the team for their support and making the time to see me today. I highly recommend them to anyone who will listen!
Fantastic experience: Always made to feel comfortable and at ease when attending my appointments with Cathy
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental care!
Fantastic experience: Top Class Dentist , i think you would struggle to find finer , i fully appreciate the improvement in my dental health since being a patient , the whole team are professional and very friendly
Fantastic experience: Great warm feeling when you walk into this practice. Catherine is a very knowledgeable and skillful dentist who is able to give some great sound advice and genuine personal connection. Colette (Hygienist) also gives good solid advice, you leave this practice feeling positive and renewed.
Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of Ashley and his team. Everything is explained in detail and I have never experienced any pain during treatment. Would recommend to anyone.
Thanks for your kind words Sue. I really appreciate your effort to leave me a review.
Fantastic experience: Ashley is amazing, I'm terrified of dentists but Ashley keeps me calm and talks me through it. I wouldn't trust anyone else
Fantastic experience: Excellent - Ashley and his team are always very professional and thorough. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: When I started going to Balsall Common Dental Practice, I had a lot of problems. I had had my original veneers (first fitted on eight of my front teeth 20 years ago) replaced by my previous dental practice and they kept falling off. I switched to Balsall Common DP, and Cath, my dentist there has been brilliant. She has replaced my top veneers with crowns, changed the shape of my bite by building up the back of my incisors, thereby taking pressure off the crowns and replacing one of my lower veneers that was a different shape and colour to match the rest. Cath is like a highly skilled structural engineer for teeth. The hygienist team at Balsall Common are also fantastic and the whole philosophy of the practice is preventative. My teeth and gums are in a better shape now than they have been for years.
Fantastic experience: Seamless process from booking to visiting the practice. Reminders sent via text and email to prompt me to attend my appointment. Surgery very clean and excellent customer service and practice.
Fantastic experience: This dental practice is the best around by far, there is so much I can say about them they are great with children even children with special needs, great with adults and they put your mind at ease with payments for your treatment offering finance, pay as you go or just pay total. All the staff are so friendly, I just wished I hadn't put off going here sooner. Can't praise them enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a few dentists over the past few years and never felt 100% happy. Now I do!
Fantastic experience: Such a friendly, efficient and well-run dental practice. I have been coming here for a number of years now and my teeth and general dental health have never been better.
Fantastic experience: I took up an offer of free consultation for implant information (other dentist all charging up to £100). I was so impressed as not only did I get full consultation, an X-ray was done without charge, this showed how professional Ashley Davenport was that he looked at the tooth before giving his opinion. Definitely going ahead with the implant as I felt that the care and knowledge was excellent.
Fantastic experience: Another visit yesterday and Ashley and the team looked after me so well, as always. I’m an anxious patient but it wasn’t so bad yesterday because I trust Ashley and the team. Despite having treatment for an hour, I was and am pain free, since. The receptionists are lovely and make you feel welcome. Thank you for looking after me again.
Fantastic experience: Thorough & professional! Geat service!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, excellent level of care.
Fantastic experience: I was happy to get an appointment as a new patient within a week of calling at Balsall Common, especially as three other practices either turned me away, ignored me or hung up on me. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was seen by Dr Catherine Myatt and I really appreciated being listened to. She explained all my options, we discussed them and then she promptly resolved my problem. They were also able to accommodate my request to have my retainer delivered for an extra cost, as I don't live near the practice. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Regular Check-up Always the best service from both Colette and Catherine! Our teeth are in amazing shape! All staff at the practice are polite and courteous, from the receptionists to the dental nurses. Highly recommend this practice! My partner, my parents and my daughter have all been there now, on my recommendation! Keep up the great work and thank you
Fantastic experience: Friendly receptionists , professional assessment for anti snoring device , clearly explained and no pressure to buy , all round good experience
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and advice as always.
Thank you very much for this review Melanie. I am pleased to read that you are happy.
Fantastic experience: Reception staff were friendly and couldn’t have done more. Ashley went out of his way to be informative about the implant, procedure and all costs. I feel extremely confident in the whole team and am glad I chose them. Thank you all
Fantastic experience: I have just finished my implant work, with Ashley Davenport. Great service throughout. The implants themselves didn't hurt one bit, and I would certainly go back, if I ever needed more. They are a wonderful team, and would recommend them to anyone that was thinking of getting implants.
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about this place - Dr Davenport is a true gent, extremely professional and knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Dr Catherine Myatt, was extremely knowledgeable and her expertise was very reassuring to me and i left the surgery feeling confident that my treatment was going to be the right way forward for me, thankyou very much.
Positive experience: Clean and on time with appointments. Space for parking
Fantastic experience: Really good service and always, received a very honest opinion about the treatments and procedures. Dr Ashley, and his team of nurses and higienists, look after there patients. Thank you for everything

Positive experience: Very thorough treatment, though sometimes painful (nerves).
Fantastic experience: I started as a patient at Balsall Common dental practice back in October and had a great experience. I began with clear aligners, that I wore for 6 months, followed by gum contouring and composite bonding. Staff were very helpful and quick with setting my appointments. Throughout my treatment Ashley explained everything and gave me advice on what can be done to improve my teeth. Now my smile is transformed at a reasonable price and I am very happy.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional treatment from the team at Balsall Common dental practice. Monthly check ups throughout my orthodontic treatment reassured me that everything was going to plan, Dr Ashley Davenport was attentive throughout the whole plan and was exceptionally quick to resolve questions I had and potential problems. All the staff were very polite and welcoming, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: New to the area, so I signed up with this practice. I can honestly say I thought my last dentist was good. But this one is heads above my last one. They pay so much attention to prevention of tooth decay with the excellent skills of the hygienist! And Ashley is brilliant. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The receptionists are very caring and helpful. Dr Ashley Davenport is such a perfectionist, so for people who want a perfect smile, he is sure to deliver. A nice chap too. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: First visit It was my first visit today, after a strong recommendation from my wife, daughter, and son in law.

Fantastic experience: Great Job Cath did a great job repairing a failed filling and cracked tooth. I am a terrible patient - nervous, strong gag reflex and sensitive teeth. Cath was very understanding and did a very professional job. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: All options were very clearly explained to me. Staff were all very helpful and pleasant. My fears were addressed sympathetically and i would recommend this practice.
Negative experience: They ask for money in advance by the phone. And this happens after I send my prescription. When I asked to come to the clinic and I will pay there for the x-ray they refused.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this dental practice. All the staff I met were very professional, so kind and caring. I can’t thank them enough.
Negative experience: I made to feel uncomfortable by the dentist and his dental nurses.

Thank you for this review and recommendation Michelle. It is very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this practice for years. Before I started going I was extremely nervous as I've had some very bad experiences at other dentists. Plus I'm terrified of needles and pain. However, the care and service I've had has been excellent. All the staff are lovely and very caring and Cathy is brilliant at calming me down and talking me through any procedures. Cathy is also extremely thorough and will always take the time to properly investigate any pain and the cause. I would especially recommend this practice if you are nervous of dentists or simply appreciate excellent service.
Thank you for your kind words Christine. I look forward to sharing them with your dentist, Cathy.

Fantastic experience: Had a last minute emergency appointment yesterday after too long without dental care. Terrified was probably the word but Ashley and his lovely nurses made the experience ‘almost’ a pleasure! Certainly the most professional, caring outfit ive seen in 50 years .... One tooth less & pain free! Thanks a million guys! Rob.
I’m glad we could help Syd. Thanks for this review.

Thanks for this review Iain.
I am pleased that I was able to help.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the brilliant and caring Balsall Common Dental practice for several years now and could not recommend them any more highly. I joined the practice whilst living in Germany on a visit to see my Mum and have been a happy client ever since, staying with them through five years living in Dubai during which time I even had Invisalign treatment. Ashley always explains my treatment and I believe always gives the best and most cost effective treatment. The hygienists are also fab, very thorough and cause no discomfort and the welcome from the whole team on reception is so warm and friendly. They have always been very flexible in trying to find me appointments to fit with visits home from abroad and really treat their patients as individuals. Special shout out to Kirsty who went the extra mile recently to arrange an emergency appointment for me . Now living back in the UK but more than 2 hours away in Yorkshire, I didn’t consider for a second moving to a more local dental practice as the service from Ashley and the team is so special. Thanks so much to the whole team.
Thanks for this review Steph. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it. I look forward to sharing it with my team.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant and helpful staff, Dentist himself was friendly and took the time to explain every step of my treatment and what his recommendations were explained with the xray of issue displayed on a large screen. Very informative
Thanks for this review Ray. I am happy to read that you are happy.
Fantastic experience: brilliant service and attention to detail, not cheap but you really get what you pay for

Thank you for your kind review Sandra
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. My emergency appointment was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Every member of staff is so helpful. ‘Dentist and good experience’ don’t normally go hand in hand, but, I have to give Ashley and his team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was great to meet you today Irish.
Thank you for this review. I really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to the practice and I was very impressed. Ashley, who treated me, gave a concise and clear explanation of his findings during the consultation and provided me with a series of treatment options which he made very easy to understand.
It was a pressure to meet you today Terry. I am pleased to read that you were happy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
