Creffield Lodge Dental Surgery has existed at number twenty since 1984. Previous to that it practiced from the top floors above the doctors surgery at number sixteen. However the practice can date itself back to Crouch Street during the 1950s.
Jack joined from Chelmsford as the new owner of the practice in 2023, bringing a wealth of experience in cosmetic dentistry and composite bonding as well as orthodontics and invisalign.
Set in the beautiful conservation area of Lexden, the practice facade has remained largely unchanged, but the interior has been subjected to updates and refurbishments to keep us in tune with the advances of dentistry

Fantastic experience: I started to use Creffield Dental Practice as it is a 2 minute walk from my psychotherapy private practice. I had a fantastic experience with Hygienist Laura during my recent cleaning. She was incredibly gentle, thorough, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat in the chair. Laura explained each step, checked in often to make sure I was comfortable, and offered great tips for improving my at-home care routine. I left feeling confident in my dental health and genuinely impressed by the professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!

Dear Graham, thankyou for your kind feedback. Creffield Lodge
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Acorn for many years, and his professionalism is truly exceptional—among the best of any healthcare professional my wife and I have encountered. Recently, he treated my 5-year-old daughter during only her second visit to the dentist. Dr. Acorn’s calm demeanor and gentle, clear communication helped her stay relaxed throughout the appointment. Seeing how skilled and compassionate he is with children has given both my daughter and me great confidence in returning to Creffield Lodge.

Thankyou for your great feedback Beverley! Creffield Lodge
Fantastic experience: Always a delight to be treated at Creffield Dental Practice , the staff are just lovely , welcoming and reassuring . I had my teeth cleaned today by Florence . I was in expert hands
Thankyou for your great feedback! Creffield Lodge
Fantastic experience: A patient for over 40 years, originally with James Mehta and now Jack Acorn, this in itself speaks volumes about the practice. It has a lovely family feel, team members who always recognise and welcome me, and whilst I am fortunate to only go bi-annually for check-ups and hygienist appointments, I always feel Jack gives my teeth and mouth a thorough check. I know if there was ever an emergency requiring treatment, I would get seen quickly, which is very reassuring. The reception team, dental nurses and hygienists are a great asset to the practice, kind and friendly, plus easy parking outside and adjoining roads. Currently undergoing refurbishment which will transform the practice even further.
Thankyou for your great feedback! Creffield Lodge

Fantastic experience: Just had bonding done by Dr. Jack at Creffield Lodge and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! The whole experience was smooth, professional, and actually really relaxing (didn’t expect that at the dentist!). They took so much care to match the shape and colour perfectly — my teeth look completely natural but noticeably better.
Thankyou for your great feedback! Creffield Lodge

Thankyou for your great feedback! Creffield Lodge
Fantastic experience: I went for a checkup with Dr Jack Acorn, and the experience was one of the utmost professional and relaxing experiences I have had at a dental surgery. I arrived a little early, expecting a little waiting time, and barely had enough time to check the news on my phone. Dr Acorn was extremely engaging, knowledgeable and prompt. It goes without saying, that I will definitely have regular check ups in the future, and any treatment (if required). I can highly recommend Creffield Lodge Dental Practice.

Thankyou for your great feedback! Creffield Lodge
Negative experience: I went to this dentist after being told by an NHS dentist that I had a tooth infection, but I would have to wait 4 months on the NHS to get it treated. I told the surgery that my trauma level with dentists was a 10 as I have had some very bad issues with my very painful jaw. My dentist was quite jolly and friendly, but I am very concerned that jolliness is not a remedy for trauma. The surgery needs to take their initial questionnaires much more seriously and understand how what they do and say seriously affects their patients. The extract seemed to go smoothly, but afterward I felt very faint and dizzy, and the dentist almost shoved me down the stairs. I then got in the car to go home, but still felt unwell. The post-care from this procedure was non-existent. The dentist told me that I would be sent an appointment for a teeth cleaning. This hasn't happened. He also told me he would contact another dentist who may be able to help with my jaw pain. He didn't. It has been over 4 months now since the procedure, and although my missing tooth has healed well, I feel a complete lack of care and concern for my well-being, and my ongoing painful condition, and a shameful failure to follow up on their commitments.
Dear Sophie, We are sorry to hear about this and would like to reassure you that we take all concerns seriously. We will be contacting you to see if we can resolve this for you. Kind Regards, Creffield Lodge
Fantastic experience: Make you comfortable and provide advice on how to maintain healthy teeth

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to visit this dentist (if going to the dentist is everything pleasurable)....lovely people, very friendly and very thorough.
Fantastic experience: I have spent lots of money on trying to save my teeth and I might of well thrown my money away. I was recommended creffield dentist and I’m so pleased I went. I had a consultation and it wasn’t cheap but not overpriced for the amount of work I’ve needed. I listened to the dentist and put my trust in his expertise. The dental nurse was so reassuring because I am very nervous patient. I’m about half way though and I’m buzzing with just how happy I am.
Dear Anne thankyou for your great feedback. Glad to hear you're happy with our work! Merry Christmas. Creffield Lodge
