Our comment from Best Dentists about Tender Dental Care:
A Legacy of Gentle, Personal Dental Care in Clacton
With a history spanning over 50 years in Clacton-on-Sea, Tender Dental Care stands out as a sanctuary for patients seeking a departure from the typical bustling clinic experience. The practice is defined by its intimate, small-scale approach, where the dentist himself often greets patients at the reception desk, ensuring immediate personal attention from the moment you arrive. This continuity is bolstered by a long-standing team dynamic; Dr. Bilverdi has been supported by his nurse, Hope, for 15 years, creating a familiar and reassuring environment that long-term patients frequently describe as "safe and trusted pair of hands."
Exceptional Management of Dental Anxiety
Perhaps the most celebrated aspect of Tender Dental Care is its profound ability to alleviate fear. Countless reviews highlight Dr. Bilverdi’s patience, non-judgmental attitude, and calm demeanor, which transform terrifying experiences into manageable, even positive, ones. The clinic is specifically attuned to nervous patients, utilizing techniques such as numbing sprays and gentle, clear explanations of every step to minimize anxiety. Many patients who had previously avoided the dentist due to panic or past trauma report feeling completely at ease, with some even expressing that they now look forward to their appointments. The quiet, discreet setting, often with only one patient on site, further enhances this sense of privacy and comfort.
Comprehensive and Transparent Treatments
The practice offers a full spectrum of dental services, ranging from routine check-ups and urgent care for infections to advanced cosmetic dentistry, implants, crowns, and bridges. Patients consistently praise the clinical quality, noting that restorations like crowns and fillings have stood the test of time without issue. Dr. Bilverdi is commended for taking the time to discuss a wide range of treatment options rather than rushing into recommendations, which is particularly appreciated in a private setting. The practice also maintains high standards of hygiene, with equipment and surgeries described as immaculately clean and well-maintained.
- General and Restorative Dentistry: High-quality fillings, crowns, and bridges that have proven durable over decades.
- Emergency and Urgent Care: Rapid response for toothaches and infections, often securing same-day or early appointments when other clinics cannot.
- Family-Friendly Environment: A welcoming atmosphere for children, who are treated with kindness and sincerity, making dental visits a non-traumatic experience for the whole family.
- Transparent Pricing: Clear breakdown of costs before treatment begins, with reasonable prices for the high level of care provided.
Whether you are a new patient terrified of the chair or a long-standing family friend trusting the practice with multi-generational care, Tender Dental Care combines professional excellence with a deeply compassionate, human touch.

Will definatly recommend to friends and family
Thank you very much for your lovely review and kind words!
Fantastic experience: I was on holiday and experienced terrible tooth pain. I called these guys, they were amazing, booked me in early and sorted the tooth straight away. I can not thank them enough. I honestly thought I was going to die of pain. No other dentist could see me..
Thank you very much for the lovely review!
Fantastic experience: I’m terrified of the dentist! This has meant that I have avoided attending pretty much all my adult life. My teeth were in an awful condition and I had to do something. Attending Tender Dental Care has been the best dental experience I’ve had, the thought, time, and care given has made a world of difference not only to my confidence in my smile but the avoidance of attending the dentist has been a complete turn around. The quality of work has been to the highest standards and the clinic is professional and warm. I cannot express how grateful I am for such brilliant care.
Thank you very much taking time to leave us such a lovely review, it means a lot to us, Many thanks!
Fantastic experience: Dr bilverdi was so good with me I was so scared of getting a damaged tooth removed I normally have sedation but I was brave and didn’t go for sedation so glad I didn’t He talks you through everything he is doing very gentle calming and professional Definitely going back Thank you so much
Many thanks for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: I was given an emergency appointment today and found everyone to be friendly and professional. Everything was explained to me clearly and honestly. I will definitely be returning to this practice in future instead of my previous dentist.
Thank you very much for taking time to leave us such a lovely review!
Fantastic experience: An amazingly professional and friendly service. They have brought my teeth back from the brink of extinction. With Dr. Bilverdi and Hope, I feel i am in safe and trusted pair of hands every time i attend. Would highly recommend!!!
Many thanks for this lovely review, looking forward to seeing you in future, all the best!
Fantastic experience: Excellent team, very warm and welcoming, and highly talented.
Very kind of you to write such a lovely review! many thanks.
Fantastic experience: I rung around several dentists before settling on Tender Dental Care. They could see me weeks ahead of any other practice but what sold it to me was the fact that the dentist himself answered the phone and was really friendly. I was so nervous about going and actually quite embarrassed about the state of my teeth but Dr. Bilverdi was not only patient but totally non-judgemental. He explained everything that was happening and didn’t go straight in for “you need lots of fillings”, which is always a concern when you pay privately. He instead gave me a whole range of options to consider in my own time. Dr. Bilverdi really took his time with me and at no point did I feel rushed or like I couldn’t ask more questions. Hope is also lovely and the quiet, nicely decorated environment is so much nicer than the usual bustling dentist waiting room. I was the only person on site during the appointment. The price is pretty reasonable too, with each cost being broken down before you agree to it. I have finally found a dentist I trust and will absolutely not be leaving it 6 years until my next visit! I went in terrified and tearful that I was going to loose all my teeth but left feeling relieved and relaxed. I can highly recommend!
Thank you very much for this fantastic review and kind words!
Fantastic experience: Just back from a visit to this dentist, a very warm and welcoming from both the dentist and his dental nurse, very highly recommend, sorted my problem out very quickly and I never thought I would say this “ I’m actually looking forward to going back”

Fantastic experience: Wonderful service as usual. Dr Bilverdi and Hope always show care and concern and have the time to chat with you. My wife and I have both attended his practice for many years and would highly recommend it. We would not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Just got back from seeing Dr Bilverdi. I was initially nervous going as it’s been far too long since I last went but I would throughly recommend this dentist. Made me feel very comfortable and I’m feeling confident for future appointments!

Fantastic experience: My wife Sharon has attended Tender Dental Care for the first time, she was very nervous at first. Dr Bilverdi and Hope soon put her at ease. She is back home now after having 3 teeth removed and very impressed with the treatment received so far. She now feels more at ease going forward.

Fantastic experience: I needed an urgent appointment because of a tooth infection. I was seen to really quickly, treated with antibiotics. The tooth was taken out a week later. I was really nervous but I was put at ease by Dr Bilverdi and his assistant. The tooth came out OK in fact I didn't even feel a thing. I recommend Tender Dental Care, as the name says, Tender care.
Many thanks for your kind words!

Fantastic experience: I contacted this dentist for an emergency appointment today due to severe pain. I was frightened due to a previous experience at another dentist.Hope the dental nurse and Mr Bilverdi were very good they reassured me and explained what they were going to do throughout my consultation. Thank you both for being kind, patient and understanding.
Many thanks for the review and five star!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Bilverdi for nearly 20 years now. His care and attention to detail is first class and I have never had any trouble with his work. No filling or crown has fallen out and no treatment has had to be repeated. If you are not cleaning any areas he will point this out. A top class dentist and his assistant Hope is always very helpful and efficient.
Many thanks for the lovely review and the kind words!

Fantastic experience: Dr Bilverdi is absolutely fantastic - best dentist I've ever been to. He's extremely accomodating, patient and caring, and has done a fantastic job on my teeth (fillings and a crown). He always goes the extra mile and really cares about his patients. The prices are very reasonable as well. Hope, the dental nurse is also just so lovely. I cannot recommend the practice highly enough. Thank you so much Dr Bilverdi and Hope!
