Fantastic experience: After many years of avoiding the dentist, I have overcome my fear. Had a number of appointments and they have been fantastic, was put at ease and the dentist talked me through everything.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback
Fantastic experience: Loz and Nicole were amazing, I’m usually really nervous about the dentist but as soon as I went into the room they made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. Thank you so much for baring with me the full time. It was painless and easy to sit through as they talked me through it the full time, the reception staff are always so lovely and supportive. Thanks again
Thank you for your amazing feedback
Negative experience: Receptionist messed up my appointments twice, hung up the phone on me whilst I was on my way to appointment (was having to travel 1.5 hours by bus) whilst trying to sort and explain. Ridiculous situation to be in. Stuck up and rude receptionist.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced.
However any delays affect our ability to serve other patients as well, and we must maintain our schedule to ensure fair and timely service for everyone.
We understand that these situations can be frustrating.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from the friendly and efficient dentist and staff.5 stars.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend them any higher. The receptionists are friendly and very efficient, sending you a reminder message 3 days beforehand, very useful! Raj and Millie worked very well together. My treatment was explained fully, the work was skilfully completed and I was put at my ease every step of the way. Superb indeed.
Thank you for taking the time to give a brilliant review

Fantastic experience: Carley and Lawrence were Excellent great customer care great people skills and very informative thank you Carley and Lawrence
Thank you Neil
Fantastic experience: This is such a fantastic dental practice! If you are an anxious patient then you really have the best care here. I have PTSD and am neurodivergent and while dental appointments are usually a distressing environment for me (anxiety, sensory reasons, change in routine etc), the staff at Murton Dental Care are incredibly kind, patient and compassionate. Just today I had a hygienist appointment with Laurence and Carley. I was treated with complete respect and warmth and my anxiety totally disappeared about half way during the appointment. I felt heard, cared bout and was given information on what was going to happen during the session which is a massive help to me. The cleaning I had was quick, painless and not uncomfortable at all! My first appointment last month was with Dr Chopra and a female nurse I wish I could remember the name of. Both were reassuring me the entire time and again, letting me know what was happening throughout. I have further treatment with Dr Chopra over the next month and don't feel half as anxious about it! Would like to also mention the reception staff that are always very approachable, helpful and kind. If you're thinking about joining this dental practice, or if you're fearful about it, I can assure you that you will be very much taken care of. You will not regret joining- I certainly don't. I am extremely impressed!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review
Fantastic experience: I had severe dental anxiety, both in the form of going to the dentist, and with how my teeth currently look. I went along for my first appointment for 17 years and was shaking in the waiting room. Thankfully, getting in to the surgery I was greeted by Carley and Dr Chopra and I instantly couldn’t have been more at ease. Everything was explained to me, what was going to happen at that appointment and at subsequent appointments. I had the feeling that if the anxiety got too much I’d have been able to stop there and then but thankfully didn’t feel as though I had to. The current state of my teeth was fully explained to me (not as bad as I had worried!) and what the treatment options were. I left feeling a sense of accomplishment and relief that I have a plan ahead of me. If you’ve neglected your teeth for years, as I have, get yourself along to the practice ASAP. I only wish I’d done it sooner!
Thank you so much for your fab review

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with the treatment experience at Murton Dental Care. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the team really make you feel at ease. I went in for a Diamond clean today as was really pleased with the results! I love coffee, but coffee doesn't love my teeth unfortunately... but the diamond clean works wonders. And the care taken by Loz and Carley was brilliant. They were very reassuring and did a fantastic job Highly recommend
Thank you Jonathan for an amazing review
Fantastic experience: Today I have been to Murton dental practice for my SmileWhite consultation. Filipe and carley have both been amazing.

I can’t wait to start this journey and looking forward to be back in a month for my aligners fitted

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Murton and Dr Mendez enough! I recently had invisalign and composite bonding and the whole process was much easier and less painful than I thought, but the constant reassurance and patience from Philipe and Nicole was fantastic. The whole team at murton look after their patients so well and it will be strange not popping in all the time!
Thankyou so much for your fantastic review its very much apparated.
Fantastic experience: After speaking to a friend who had seen Dr Filipe Mendes for private dental work, I decided to go ahead based on her feedback. I am so glad I did. From the consultation throughout to the final photographs I was nothing short of amazed at the patient care and final results of my new smile. My confidence has grown so much already and I have received fantastic comments about my smile. Thankyou Filipe and your assistant Nicole at Murton Dental Care. 5 stars from me *****
Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review
Fantastic experience: I had my first ever deep clean at the age of 29 due to a severe phobia of dentists. I was so scared, but the hygienist and her assistant (sorry, I didn't get the names) were absolutely incredible. They were both so compassionate and I didn't feel like I was being judged in any way. I was repeatedly given praise for how well I was doing and made sure that I was okay throughout every step, which made me feel really comfortable. These two kind ladies made an unbearable situation so much easier to deal with. Amazing job
Thanks you so much for this amazing review Leanne
