Fantastic experience: As when I previously needed Hurst Dental Practice, I was seen promptly and with kindness. During the procedure, Dr Anu, the dentist and her assistant, Charlotte treated me in a friendly, professional manner while communicating in a clear and understandable way exactly what was happening. Thank you. Another year and another very professional and expert appointment with Dr Anu. After a warm welcome, she proceeds to assess my teeth with the upmost care & gentleness while explaining in layman’s terms exactly what she is doing, or seeing. Despite her busy day she is unhurried in her explanations and friendliness.

Thank you for your feedback & recommendation.
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Hurspierpoint Dental Practice enough! I had a crown fitted when I was 16 and, ever since then, I’ve always been too nervous to have it changed. But recently, Dr. Anu Jawahar and her assistant Nina completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist. From the moment I arrived, they were so kind, patient, and understanding. They noticed when I was feeling anxious, took their time, checked in with me throughout, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. The whole experience was nothing like I expected, it didn’t hurt at all, and I actually felt relaxed! I had my front tooth crown replaced and also had whitening done, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. My teeth look amazing, and for the first time in years, I smile with confidence with my teeth showing! I’m so pleased with the care, attention, and results from start to finish. Five stars just don’t feel enough. Thank you, Dr. Anu and Nina, for giving me my smile back!
Thank you Melanie for your kind & encouraging feedback. It is our pleasure to make dental visits comfortable .

Thank you, glad we could help promptly.

Fantastic experience: Anu at the Hurst Dental Practice is brilliant. So professional and caring. She managed my treatment with skill and encouragement today. She saw me recently in an emergency even though she was fully booked up that morning and did a great job extracting a tooth which was causing great pain. She and her assistants have always been absolutely excellent and really helped me keep my teeth in good condition - I've been with her for over ten years now.
Thank you for your kind words.

Fantastic experience: I've seen Anu Jawahar at Hurst Dental Practice several times over a few months now and she has been brilliant! I had quite a backlog of work that needed doing after not going to the dentist for several (too many!) years. All the work was explained clearly and performed pain-free. I found Anu to be very kind and reasonable, never judgemental but very practical about telling to improve things that really matter. The rest of the team at the Hurst practice have also been great, a very professional and efficient outfit. Can't recommend highly enough!
Thank you for kind feedback.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and efficient service
Thank you for your kind feedback.
Negative experience: I am really sorry, but I am not happy about my dental appointment. Having had at least 2 reminders, by e-mail, about my appointment, nothing was mentioned that Anu was not going to see me until I arrived, when I was told she couldn't see me and would I mind seeing another dentist. Having got there and "syced" myself up, I said ok. Sadly I wasn't too impressed. It was out in a back room, the dental assistant was not in PPE and the dentist didn't seem to be very confident. He had obviously read my notes as he mentioned a couple of things that I know are in them, but he didn't really go methodically around my teeth. When I paid and booked my next appointment, I did ask that if Anu was not available, could I please be notified beforehand, so that I can make another appointment with her.
Hello Susan,
Our sincere apologies, about in the miscommunicationLet us look into this. We take cross infection
control very seriously.
Rest assured , we will ensure , we learn from this & team training will focus on the points you have raised. Thank you for your valuable feedback and understanding.
Fantastic experience: First time I met Ibby, have to say he made me feel like I’d known him for years ! He was very respectful and reassuring and I feel confident with him .
Thank you kevin for feedback & appreciation. We will pass it on to Ibby .
Fantastic experience: Ibby is a great dentist! I have now had three appointments with him. He is very thorough and explains any treatment required - but more importantly, he puts you at ease. I would definitely recommend him.
Thank you Jacqueline for your feedback. Ibby is our experienced dental therapist & a highly skilled clinician.
Negative experience: I only need a new denture to replace old one which now (after many years) does not fit very well. The dentist insists that she must discuss this with my daughter and I don't understand why. My daughter is not my carer and has a very busy life in London and abroad. I won't use her time for this. The dentist also said that I would need to have a minimum of 6 visits for this work (and possibly more). I don't understand this. When the original denture was made for me (in London) I only went twice. Once for the impressions and so on, and the second time to check that all was well. I would like your thoughts on this.
HI Jenni, Thank you for your feedback. We will be in touch to discuss this in detail. Rest assured, our dentists work only in your best interest and all treatment plans are bespoke to suit individual needs and complexities.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and professional.
thank you for your feedback.

Sorry you feel this way & we have let you down. We appreciate your honest feedback & will improve our service.
Fantastic experience: I had my check up today and left highly satisfied, Staff are always professional and very welcoming. I was seen on time and was very satisfied with the support advice and service. All in all a very positive visit and that is not something people usually say when visiting the dentist is it! So do try Hurst Dental Practice if you are looking for a new dentist.
Thank you for your kind review. Glad we could help
Fantastic experience: Alex is always great!
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: I came in for a hygiene appointment and it was the best appointment I've had so far. With the staff so patient and kind, they explained every step involved and ensured a pain-free experience. The receptionists were very kind and sweet, making you feel warm and welcome!
Thank you.
Positive experience: As always great service for an emergency. However it’s interesting that your lovely hygienist puts Vaseline on the lips to prevent cracking and the metal clamp used for a filling results in an ulcer. Is there no way of avoiding this?! The repair filling is great and you have lovely staff.
Hi Victoria, thank you for your feedback . It is the seasonal
impact of dry lips that some of our patients , present with very cracked / dry lip . So just as a nice caring gesture we offer the option of vaseline. Of course, you can decline. It is interesting that so many of our patients appreciate it . Look forward to seeing you for the next visit , vaseline free of course.
Fantastic experience: Lovely dental practise. Staff all so kind and helpful and make you feel at ease.
Thank you for feedback.
Fantastic experience: Anu and the team are brilliant. Helpful, friendly and great value, would recommend.
Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I have always had dental issues through bad dentistry when I was a child. My experience with your dental practice has been excellent. I would recommend to everyone to join this practice, their dental plan is really good and makes it affordable to everyone.
Thank you for your kind review.
Positive experience: Care generally appears to be fine and staff are welcoming. However a massive put off for me is that there is no consistency in terms of which dentist you get to see. Every appointment - dentist or hygienist - is with a different person which gives no option to build a relationship and discuss any challenges or issues from appointment to appointment. As a nervous dental patient with some issues to resolve this is a huge issue and seems to be getting worse.
Really sorry to hear this Jane, we have taken your feedback on board. Unfortunately, sometimes the appointments booked with the dentist/hygienist is based on their mutual availability - however we will send you a communication confirming your assigned dentist and hygienist.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do, and we appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Alex the hygienist is amazing. She totally gets it when you have an underlying disease and acts accordingly to make sure she is protecting not only your teeth/gums but you too. Easy to talk to and gives great tips on looking after your teeth. Highly recommend Alex, I’m so lucky she is my hygienist.
Thank you for your kind review , we will pass this onto Alex

Fantastic experience: I was very happy with my visit to the hygenist yesterday. He was friendly, professional & polite & I’d be happy to see him again. Throughout my treatment he explained what he was doing which was very reassuring. Thank you
Thank you Catherine for your feedback.
Positive experience: Excellent service, just a shame a 15min hygienist clean cost £80, I appreciate your expertise but this is getting out of reach from the working people.
Thank you for your feedback. We are extremely sorry to know thst it was 15 minutes. We understand the cost of services. Our hygienist visits are normally 30 mins duration. We constantly monitor our prices & competitively price our services.
We will reach out to you to fix this for you. Thanks again & giving us an opportunity to know about this.
