Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and pain free dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic people who are so caring and friendly. They treat you like one of the family. Couldn’t find a better dental practice if I wanted to

Fantastic experience: Going the dentist is always daunting, but the team at Oakley Road are always great to visit. They are friendly, positive, very professional in all aspects, and I would recommend them for the great dental care they have provided our family over the decades.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service. Thank you to all the team at Oakley Road

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional team. I’d recommend to all.

Fantastic experience: Bestthing I ever did was join this dentist 25 years ago. Consistently good care ever since and now with Michelle and Mel and the team.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely wonderful practice. They are ALL so professional, friendly, helpful and considerate especially if you have any special requirements. Really put you at your ease if you are nervous at the dentist. Just a pity about the parking!

Fantastic experience: I had unfortunately broken my tooth and was in agony - but I am so greatful for Oakley Road Dental practice. From the receptionist who was fantastic and able to help me the same day, to the dentist and dental assistant who were brilliant!! Safe to say I am very nervous about any dental work that needs doing, but they were beyond patient, reassuring and supportive! To the follow up phone call the next day to make sure I was ok- what an amazing service!!!! Thank you all!!!!

Fantastic experience: We have been going to Oakley Road Dentist as a family for years. The team here are brilliant. Professional treatment always given with care and kindness. Highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: So professional and friendly. First class service

Fantastic experience: Fantastic appointment for both my children and myself today. Will is awesome at explaining everything, visually as well. Reception staff are incredibly friendly and my daughter said on the way home “I love the dentist, I don’t know why people are scared”. My eldest then said “it’s because we have a great dentist, that’s why we are not scared!” Thank you Oakley Road

Fantastic experience: Always have a good experience at the practice, all reception staff are extremely helpful and friendly as are the hygienist Michelle and dentist Melanie, they always have time for a brief chat which puts me at ease. The waiting area is bright, clean and cheerful too.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff are excellent

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank the practice enough! We had a goal to get all the treatment I needed done within a month and they fulfilled my wishes! I feel over the moon and it’s the first time in a very long time that I feel happy about how my teeth look! I will be coming to this practice for years to come! A special shoutout to my wonderful dentist Dimitrios, his lovely Dental nurse Alicja, the wonderful hygienist Michelle and her dental nurse Lisa. I also want to thank the lovely receptionists Keeley and Sarah who are always warm and inviting over the phone and are incredibly welcoming when you arrive at the practice.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and great experiences

Fantastic experience: I've never liked the dentist and always avoided it like the plague, but I'm so happy I found this place. Dimitrios has easily been the best dentist I've ever had. And when I decided to book a hygienist appointment for the first time ever, I was dreading it, but Michelle and Angela were fantastic and made the whole experience absolutely fine, I'll definitely be back. Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: The dentist and hygienist picked up on issues with my teeth that my previous dentist had not mentioned. Thank you both for being so patient and kind with me making the whole experience go smoothly .

Fantastic experience: Reception staff are all so lovely and accommodating and Dimitrios and his dental nurse genuinely care for each patient. They are very thorough and advise on appropriate treatment but the patient is included in making decisions! Thank you Oakley Road Dental Practice!

Fantastic experience: This review is to say a massive “thank you” to all the staff for going out of their way to get me in ASAP when I was in agony with two infected teeth. I am petrified of the dentist and Will, who I’ve never had before, was so patient and calm and explained everything he was doing, despite working through his lunch and having to rush off for another appointment. Another big “thank you” to Mel for moving things around to save me suffering longer than I had to. From the girls on the reception to the dentists themselves and their assistants I really couldn’t have asked for a more personal and caring experience and I am truly grateful. For anyone who is nervous of going to the dentist I can 100% recommend this practice, you won’t be disappointed. From a very relieved and pain free patient, thank you. X

Fantastic experience: Will (the dentist) et all at this surgery, were very kind, efficient, and patient in helping my mum with finishing her root canal filling and night guard. Sometimes, a reassuring smile and words are enough to make a worrying experience into a pleasant one; this was definitely one of these cases. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: So glad I found this dental practice a year ago. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Both dentist (Will), hygienist (Michelle) are very gentle, always explains everything in detail and make sure that I’m comfortable throughout the entire appointment. The dental practice is spotless and modern. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a stress-free dental experience!

Negative experience: Called at 5 to 4 on a Friday as need desperately to get some antibiotics and pain relief for a gum infection and it was closed, from 5pm. But I called at 5 minutes to 4!?

Fantastic experience: A modern and bright surgery. All the staff are welcoming, helpful, efficient and very friendly. Excellent at their work. I would definitely recommend Oakley road dental surgery to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient book in. Full explanation of work needed, accompanied by photos to clearly show the issues. All for a very reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Oakley road dental enough, after a previous bad experience at another dentist I decided to pay the extra and go private! Michelle and will are both fantastic! They explain everything thoroughly and make sure you understand! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! The reception team are also amazing and make you feel so welcome on arrival! Would recommend 10 times over!

Fantastic experience: Great visit to the hygienist today, all the ladies where lovely and thorough !

Fantastic experience: Receptionists are welcoming and efficient and the dentists and hygienists are skilled, gentle and always interested in you as a person as well as your teeth!

Fantastic experience: From you moment you enter the receptionists greet you with a smile and make you feel comfortable and welcome, My dentist Mel is so professional and explains everything that you need to know, she is very gentle and caring and dedicated to giving you the best advice needed, Michelle the hygienist leaves my mouth and teeth feeling fresh and 100% clean, she is very gentle and puts me at ease, I would recommend Oakley Road Dental surgery 100%

Negative experience: I was advised to have my wisdom teeth removed, despite having no pain, infection, or crowding. I was told, “We don’t repair wisdom teeth,” which I found troubling. A second opinion confirmed that extraction was unnecessary. Wisdom teeth—or any teeth—should only be removed if they cannot be saved. Recommending surgery without a clear clinical need is concerning and not reflective of conservative, patient-focused care. Additionally, I was disappointed with my hygiene visit. Plaque and tartar were not fully removed, which I consider a basic standard of care. While the office was clean also and the staff courteous, my experience fell short of expectations. I’m unlikely to return.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 Very professional staff, excellent service.

Fantastic experience: Oakley Road is the best dental practice I have ever been to and I can’t recommend it enough. Michelle, Dimitrios and Sarah have helped me so much in the last few months sorting out a range of issues. In recent years I have become so anxious about dentistry but everyone at Oakley Road has made me feel calm and in control and helped me understand my treatment needs. If you need a dentist in Southampton this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I'm registered with this practice and it's the most welcoming dental practice I've been too. I recently had an accident where I chipped my tooth and I was able to get an appointment straight away and have it filled in. They did an amazing job, so nice and friendly and they took great care of me during the procedure. 5*

Fantastic experience: Michelle is very friendly and calm. She worked so hard today, and has helped my teeth look and feel the cleanest they have been in years. Extremely friendly and took her time to answer my questions and correct some of my errors regarding technique when using electric toothbrush. She patiently explained things to me and gave me great advice. I'm so pleased to have had her treat me today. Wish I had gone to see her years ago!!

Fantastic experience: All the staff were very friendly, efficient and professional. While waiting for my appointment I observed how family friendly the practice is. This was our first time at Oakley Road and we were very impressed, we will be staying for future care.

Fantastic experience: It was our first visit here and we were made to feel very welcome. The dentist, Will, was very professional and he had time to chat too and put me at my ease. He gave me some good advice on looking after my teeth and gums. The reception staff were knowledgeable and friendly and we have signed up to stay with this practice.

Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous as hadn’t seen a dentist for years. From the 1st telephone call to having treatment I was put at ease. Everyone was so friendly and a really calming atmosphere. I had a tooth removed and haven’t had any soreness or pain. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I've just had 4 fillings, William the dentist was excellent, I didn't feel a thing not even the injection, the young lady who assisted was also very good and very kind.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this dental practise, every detail is explained before you have any treatment, you are put at ease if you are a nervous patient like myself, I recently had a tooth out a couple of days ago and was very very nervous at the prospect of having this done, the procedure went very well indeed, and my dentist and his assistant could not have been kinder to me, Mandy Richards.

Fantastic experience: Mel ticks all the boxes! I have been a patient at Oakley Road for decades, longer than I care to remember. I was going to move when the previous dentist Gary left and find a dentist closer to where I live but I then met Mel and that was it. She is so understanding, caring, thoughtful and considerate. Mel always listens to your concerns and addresses those first. I feel extremely confortable and confident with Mel looking after my oral health and feel extremely lucky to have her as my dentist!

Fantastic experience: The team at Oakley are fantastic. They have helped me completely turn around my oral hygiene. I am now much happier and more confident about my teeth and gums! I have recently moved out of the area but I still use Oakley despite the 1hr commute each way.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with this dentist and all the staff are very helpful and friendly

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing dentist. Truthful about what what i was having done and so thorough. All staff are friendly too

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this practice for years, the staff here are amazing always smiling and happy to see you. Michelle and Mel do a fantastic job of looking after my teeth. I am currently on my SureSmile journey with Mel to sort out my crooked teeth and it’s been a positive experience and I am starting to see results. If you need a great dental practice with caring staff this is the place to come.

Fantastic experience: I’m not scared or going to the dentist anymore . A massive thank you to the whole team.

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service.

Fantastic experience: An excellent, friendly dental practice that ensure that we are always comfortable and relaxed. First class in every way.

Fantastic experience: Everyone who dealt with me today were kind friendly and efficient.

Fantastic experience: Been to Oakley Road Dental for years and I just can’t fault them. Melanie is a brilliant dentist, Michelle is a brilliant hygienist. Reception staff are lovely too!

Fantastic experience: I have quite bad anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist due to 2 previous awful experiences when I was younger. I was recommended Oakley Road by my mum. I am still quite anxious but every single member of staff always puts me at ease and are so understanding and respectful of my anxiety which I am totally thankful for. My dentist Dimitrios is wonderful, a really kind and caring man. I want to say a massive thank you to each and every member of staff for their kindness and help. I highly recommend Oakley Road Dental Practice. It’s wonderful!

Fantastic experience: What an absolutely lovely experience, from the start the reception staff and the practice manager were all so friendly and accommodating then saw the Hygienist and Dentist who were. both so lovely and put you at ease straight away. Would not hesitate in recommending anybody to these guys

Fantastic experience: Melanie and Michelle make a great team looking after my teeth. They spot issues early on before they become painful. I recently joked that they can detect a rogue filling just by looking at my face. Reception staff do a brilliant job of sorting out appointments.

Fantastic experience: Was my first time at the practice, and was made very welcome along with the dentist who had alot of time.to listen and explain what was happening now and in the future visits, I felt relaxed throughout

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Oakley Road dental practice enough, from the moment you step in you’re welcomed by friendly welcoming faces, i’m currently having Invisalign and they are fab! Such a huge difference already. Everyone is truly so professional and perfectionists of their trade, you can definitely tell! You’re not rushed during your appointments either, which is lovely and they give you great advice. Best decision i ever made coming over to oakley road dentist x

Fantastic experience: I think I am one of the few people who quite enjoys going to the dentist! The staff there are so welcoming and friendly. We even have sing-a-longs in the surgery (Michelle). I highly recommend this practice. I have been going here for years. Xx

Fantastic experience: What an amazing service, the place is run like clockwork and everyone there is so nice and polite, my whole family uses this service and will continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: All the staff here are very kind and compassionate, creating a welcoming environment and will go above and beyond for customer satisfaction. Always greeted with smiles.

Fantastic experience: The staff are really friendly and helpful here. I managed to get an emergency appointment in the morning. By 12:30 my painful tooth had been extracted. After the extraction I was feeling a bit ill, the extra care they put in to make sure I was okay was excellent.

Fantastic experience: Lovely dentist, with lovely staff

Fantastic experience: Oakley Road - an excellent dental practice with welcoming staff and an easy manner by both dentist and hygienist Mel and Michelle. Just wouldn't want to go anywhere else despite having to endure the M27 for appointments!

Fantastic experience: I saw the dentist Melanie and the hygienist Michelle and I am very happy with my treatment. All the staff are very friendly. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! Everyone at the practice were so friendly and informative

Fantastic experience: As always all the staff at Oakley Road Dental practice are fantastic. Jaminie my hygienist, her assistant and Keeley the receptionist are polite, engaging and professional.

Fantastic experience: Mel and her team always go above and beyond - would never go anywhere else. Excellent, professional service - definitely worthy of five stars

Fantastic experience: As a 26 year old guy, having not been to the dentist in 4 years, I can certainly say the service right from booking was exceptional. My first consultation today, along with X-rays and a clean, and thankfully nothing wrong. William is amazing and treats you with care, passion and is very gentle. I have my next appointment to book for 6 months time for a hygienist and I am looking forward to coming back. Thank you to all of you.

Fantastic experience: Superb dental practise, couldn’t recommend them more. Such a great, attentive team. Dimitrios being a dentist who really puts your best interests at heart and my hygienist, Michelle, being truly the most attentive & kind individual I’ve encountered in my entire healthcare experience.

Fantastic experience: A lovely dental practice. My dentist is very knowledgeable and kind. They always have appointments available and do a wonder job.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, professional, friendly care. Very impressed with level of expertise and care provided by the team. Everyone who works there genuinely care for their patients and each other, you can see they love working with each other. Clear, open conversations about dental care needed, delivered in a compassionate way. Totally recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined this wonderful practice after moving to the area. The whole team have been amazing. Lovely friendly greetings from Keeley and Sarah on reception. Dimitrios was very gentle and calming on my new patient checkup. I’ve had my first hygienist appt today with Michelle and Angela and it was brilliant, very informative and very caring.I can’t thank them enough for explaining things so well. I have joined denplan and have already booked follow up appointments so look forward to seeing them in the next few months.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Oakley Road Dental Practice for many years, along with my wife and children, and have nothing but the highest of praise and regard for the service that I've received there during all of that time. The staff are always so very friendly and caring, and I'm very pleased to have Dimitrios as my dentist.

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff that cares , and they show it. Professional and pain free service. I was a nervous patient. Not anymore.

Fantastic experience: I had two fillings done by Dimitrios. It was my first time and he was extremely professional and kind. Very trustworthy practitioner and would highly recommend. Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: Have been using this practice for a few years now and they have always made me feel very comfortable. The dentists and hygienists always take the time to explain better ways to look after your teeth to prevent needing any future dental work. The reception staff are always very friendly and welcoming and willing to work around difficult work schedules when booking appointments. Highly recommend this practise.

Fantastic experience: Had my first hygienist appointment today with Jaminie and Brooke. They were both fantastic and would recommend this practice to anyone

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Oakley for 2 years and is easily the best practice I've been to and can thoroughly recommend. The team are always friendly and ensure you are well looked after and feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: This is an outstanding dental practice. As a nervous patient I have been so relieved and appreciative of the patience, calm and professionalism shown by all the staff. My dentist, Dimitrios, is particularly skilled at allaying any concerns I have and explains every step of each procedure. Nurses, hygienists, and reception staff are all very welcoming and proficient. I frequently recommend this practice as it is the best I've ever been to.

Fantastic experience: Currently I am undergoing treatment with Dimitrios using the SureSmile aligners and after 10 weeks I am surprised at the results already. I have a further 10 weeks to go until I have the smile of my dreams! I highly recommend Dimitrios and his team for excellent service and for bringing my smile back. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: It's not often you can say your happy to go to the dentist. Everyone is so welcoming. Especially when I see the hygienist, Michelle and my dentist Melanie. I'd definitely recommend Oakley Road Dental Practice.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the nicest dentists I have ever been to! They were so friendly and helpful to fit me in for an emergency the same day. Will and Brooke were so lovely, will definitely be registering there as soon as I can.

Fantastic experience: I had two appointments today; the first with Michelle, the Hygienist and the second with Mel for a check-up. Michelle is always very welcoming, friendly and very professional. She puts me at ease and has a good report with the nurse. She will indicate any areas that need greater attention at home. The following appointment was with Mel for a regular check-up. Again, she is very welcoming and takes an interest in my activities since my previous visit and quickly puts me at ease when undertaking treatments. Both Michell and Mel are a credit to the practice.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend highly enough my dentist -Mel and hygienist - Michelle and the reception team.I have been using their services for years and I have never had a bad or unpleasant experience. Extremely friendly and professional. I recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a good dental clinic.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant lovely receptionists very helpful and welcoming great service from my hygienist gave me all the steps I needed and made my teeth look amazing even got a gift bag with a toothbrush head best service I’ve ever had will definitely be going back here without a doubt ❤️

Fantastic experience: Cannot rate this practice enough! From the reception team to the dentist and nurses (especially Keeley). Such a welcoming and warm experience. I have had such bad experiences with past dental practices and found Oakley Road. Dimitrios and Barbara made me feel so calm and relaxed whilst having an extraction. I would recommend this practice!

Fantastic experience: Great place! The staff are so friendly and informative. Dr Dimitrios is a very caring dentist and always makes me comfortable. Perfect in every way

Fantastic experience: Both my wife and I gave up on NHS dental care as we suspected even the basic care you get with NHS dentistry was lacking and as we wanted to try and keep the teeth we had decided to go private and were reccomended Oakley Road dental practice. Our suspiciones were correct, I had had previous root canals which had failed, and wifey had gum disease, NHS never mentioned any of this. I required specialist endodontic tretment on two rear molars on the same side, however, after weighing up the cost of that with only 50% chance of success I elected for both teeth to be replaced with implants. It was a while between having the implants done and having the teeth extracted allowing the bone to heal properley from the root canal infection and chewing on just one side was not much fun and contributed to the decision to go the implant route, yes it is expensive and I did consider Turkey, however i'm glad I did not. Dimitris was extremely cautious and diligent taking every step to ensure the implants were successful with the process taking around 7 months from extraction to completion of the implants. I would definately consider getting this work done a bit risky in another country in a 2 or 3 week period knowing what's involved. Over a year later the implants have been fantastic, I can eat anything I like with no problem and they are given ongoing care and attention on every check up. Going to the Oakley road practice means our teeth and gums are now healthy again and I believe they do various plans to help ease the cost if required.

Fantastic experience: Every visit is a very nice experience. Lovely receptionists, Dr. Dimitrios and Alicja always take really good care of me on every appointment, answer any questions I may have and can also have a really nice chat as well. Absolutely lovely team and welcoming atmosphere. Very flexible and accommodating with appointments, always manage to get an appointment at a convenient time as well. The best dental experience and treatment that I have ever had.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Oakley Road Dental Practice for a dental examination and received a treatment plan along with some X-rays of my teeth. The attention and care I received from both the reception and Dr. Will who made my visit very pleasant, was exceptional.

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Will and Barbara for doing a small fixture on my tooth today. Very professional and always made sure I was alright. Both did amazing on getting it perfect and the lovely little conversations. One very happy patient xx Reception are brilliant for booking me in so quick. xx Also wanted to add Melanie that I see every 6 months does an excellent job on my check ups from cleaning and polishing and lovely chats. xx Fantastic and friendly team keep up the hard work xxx

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Dental practice
