Fantastic experience: Very good. Professional and friendly service. Restores faith in the NHS
Negative experience: I was removed from the list because they said i missed their appointment twice, but when i asked when was the missing appointments, they were unable to give me exact time and date where my 'missed' appointment was. In fact, this was the first time i requested to reschedule an appointment that i booked 6 months ago. They were rude and not able to respond phone calls, and then they said i did not cancel on-time. Do they think that people can just wait and wait till they have time to speak on phone and always have time to send over message on email when emergency comes up in your life? DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM, it is totally wasting your time.
Fantastic experience: I had a very very large infection. Antibiotics not working. Today I was attended to by Dr Tanya and her colleague along with the assistant. After draining the infection which was lengthy and, ok, painful I have some stronger medication and it feels so much better already. Many thanks to the 3 ladies that treated me. You are the best in my eyes. ***** 5 star.
Thank you Paul

I visited today Weds 7th May 2025 for a check up with my dentist Dr. Tanya and her dental nurse Kuni, who are both lovely people and very helpful. Dr Tanya explains everything in detail and makes me feel so relaxed when having dental treatment carried out. 10 out of 10 for me. Kind regards Alan.

Fantastic experience: Dentist I was seen by She was so nice and spoke to me the whole time. I hadn’t been to a dentist for over four years after my mum passed away and I would definitely recommend the dental practice to anyone. Staff were so welcoming
Fantastic experience: Brilliant dentist. I was so nervous Dr Hussain lone really put me at ease.spoke to me all the way through while having my treatment.
Fantastic experience: My first visit was very good, no complaints everything was spot on. I'm new to the area and I must say I am very happy this is my new dentist after the care I received. Thankyou for my first visit
Fantastic experience: For some reason I'm always nervous going to the dentist but everyone here is so friendly and good at their jobs it's always an absolute breeze.
Fantastic experience: From the moment you make your appointment to the moment you leave after your treatment, you are treated warmly and respectfully. The whole team is thoroughly professional. You are consulted on any treatment you may need and the options available. You are well informed with a care plan tailored to your needs. I feel totally confident my teeth (and gums) are given the best treatment to stay healthy. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: everyone at the practice from the receptionists to the dentist and hygienist were super friendly and explained everything well
Fantastic experience: Had an appointment today for an extraction of some tooth roots and a filling. I went in very anxious and worried but the dentist who saw me and her assistant were so lovely and helpful that my anxiety didn't stick around. The dentist made me feel so comfortable and talked me through what was happening and it was absolutely fine. Going to this dentist has really made me realise that actually dentists arnt that bad of a place (IV had bad experiences elsewhere) thank you for fixing my mouth xx

Fantastic experience: My first time in this dental practice and the dentist I had my appointment with Maaria was so polite and welcoming. And very helpful and didn’t care when asking her silly questions. Thanks again Maaria
Fantastic experience: I am happy with my treatment at S3. Each stage is very well explained. Dr Hussan Lone really puts me at ease and is very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: I recently joined this dental practice after being encouraged by my husband to change service provider. I am really glad I did. I am so happy with the dental service I received. From registering with the Practice to having a crown fitted along side a replacement filling, the team were fantastic. The dentist provided a very professional and personalised service and demonstrated excellent communication skills throughout procedures. The dental nurse was also personable and professional. I was surprised to receive a follow up call later in the day following each treatment session to ensure all was well. The whole service has been both pleasant and reassuring. It would be so lovely if all dental services provided this level of care and attention. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier. My dentist is very good at putting you at ease. I am Autistic so I can get very anxious so it’s a big help
Fantastic experience: I have been seen by Dr Maaria since December. Had my root treatment. She was absolutely brilliant. She is very kind, gentle and lovely. Thank you so so much for the hard work and taking my pain away. Will come back here always.
Fantastic experience: Great as always even though it’s been along time since I’ve been very happy amazing place
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the prompt and thorough treatment received but what stood out immediately was the polite and friendly nature of everyone from the reception to the dental staff! I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: 1st visit for treatment today and I don’t mind saying….I was petrified! I had such a bad experience with a previous dentist practice, it has left me emotionally scarred and I was on the verge of a panic attack today. But guess what??? My treatment was only 10 mins in the chair, they explained everything beforehand and before I knew it, I was getting the tampons he shoulder to say “all done”. I’m ecstatic to have found this amazing place and would recommend it it to everyone! Thanks again S3 Dental. See you in 6 months!
Fantastic experience: I have just joined this practice and I have to say that I am extremely impressed. I travelled a long distance to be seen here (no NHS appointments available near where I live) and the dentist, Mr Lone, was kind, thorough and professional, and was able to see me for my follow up appointment within a short space of time. The treatment I received was excellent and I could not be happier. The whole team here, including receptionists and dental nurses are positive, kind and really helpful. Thanks again for looking after me so well, I really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: So happy with s3 dental all staff were so kind welcoming and helpful, dr Hussam made me feel so at ease. Easily the most kind caring nice dentist I’ve ever met. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I found all the staff to be very friendly and professional. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I am so impressed following my appointment with S3 Dental. After some very difficult past dental and medical experiences, and then losing my NHS dentist during covid, I had not seen a dentist for far too long. I knew I had a lot of work coming, and was very anxious about my appointment. They were incredibly non-judgemental and kind, they put me at ease for every step and explained at each stage what was happening and why, and checked I was comfortable. I left feeling confident in my understanding of what I needed to do moving forward, the cost, my options and also with no concerns or fears about returning. It is such a relief knowing I now have a treatment plan in place and I can get things sorted in an environment where I feel safe and understood.
Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, reception ladies are nice, my dentist explains everything that's going to happen
Negative experience: Drilled so far into my tooth that the nerve was affected and was painful. The filling is OK but why the dentist put a soft covering over it, which was too high and came off after 2 hours is beyond me. I don't want to be sucking a lump of metal in my mouth for the rest of my life so I decline further treatment until I can either find a dentist that can give me a porcelain crown or at a time when I can afford one.
Fantastic experience: No one likes going to the dentist but these are the nicest dentists I have ever had. Been a patient for quite a few years now and everyone is so friendly and reassuring. Clean and modern and up to date technology. Great service. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist, really put me at ease. I highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: The best dentist I've been too. Explained everything in detail and receptionists were lovely too very welcoming. Would definitely recommend this dentist surgery. So kind and caring
Fantastic experience: The staff where very polite and Professional, am happy with there service.
Fantastic experience: I want to sincerely thank you for your first visit to the clinic. Starting with the employee at the reception, everyone is very attentive and professional. Special thanks to Dr. Tanya Abathi for the examination and start of treatment and Christina for her help in communication (translation)
Fantastic experience: My daughter was very pleased, I'm happy with the dentists.
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment here with Dr Maaria Lone. Professional service and great advice. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for many years ,I have always been very happy with any treatment and feel very fortunate to be patient at this practice
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with the treatment from Dr Tanya Abathi she was very helpful hope to see her next visit your sincerely Mrs jackie pilfold
Fantastic experience: You guys are so amazing! I had bad experiences in the past and it took a lot of courage to go to a dentist again but you are really patient and understanding. Today I had treatment on my own at a dentist for the first time in 8 years.
Fantastic experience: I recently visited S3 Dental, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The clinic is modern, clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which immediately reassured me that I was in good hands. The dentist took the time to explain every step of the procedure, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. Their gentle approach and attention to detail made the experience completely stress-free. I also appreciated their commitment to ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. Booking appointments was seamless, and I found their communication excellent from start to finish. Overall, S3 Dental offers a top-notch service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and compassionate dental care.
Positive experience: I attended my check-up appointment today and as always, Sami was amazing and professional. I was seen promptly with no waiting around. All checks were completed thoroughly, and clear feedback was provided. 5 Stars for Sami. The only suggestion I have is regarding the check-out process. It would be helpful if the receptionist came to the waiting area to call patients when they are ready to check out. Currently, the receptionist remains seated behind the desk, out of view from the waiting area, and loudly shouts out patients’ names from there. (Not exactly professional) hence 4 stars.In contrast, the dentist always comes to the waiting area to greet and escort patients, which feels much more personal and professional. Overall, the experience was excellent, but a small improvement in this area could make it even better.
Fantastic experience: I have been with S3 Dental for many years and they provide a professional and very efficient service with thoughtful and considerate practitioners. My Hygienist appointment today, as always, was provided with care to my needs and good advice. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Always great service! Sami has been our family dentist for over 5 years. Great friendly service.
Fantastic experience: Great service from the dentist and the assistant. Never have I ever felt more at ease and positive about my visits. My dentist ensure I am informed of my treatment and through my procedure he explained what he would do step by step checking if I was ok. I definitely won't be missing or delaying any future appointments. The level of care I received is fantastic. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Did have to wait for my appointment in fact it was 10 minutes early. She explained all what I needed to know and all my options.
Fantastic experience: I'm petrified of the dentist and as such was living with a problem tooth for some time. It got to the point where I couldn't live with it anymore and had to sort it. S3 dental were brilliant and I wish I had visited them years before. Can't recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: Staff friendly. Doctor very considerate and professional. Follow up advice and options very clear.
Fantastic experience: I rarely wait for long and it's nice to see the same dentist each time, they get to know you and visa versa. My experience on this occasion was uneventful and painless and that's all I ask of a dental visit.

Fantastic experience: Great service!! Booked an emergency appointment first thing in the morning and was seen by 11:00am that day. Everyone was so friendly and I felt so at ease.
Fantastic experience: Post Christmas I could feel a rough edge on a tooth. I think a piece had broken away. First available day after Boxing Day I telephoned at 9am to try snd secure an emergency appointment. I was booked in for 10.15am. I saw a lady dentist on duty. She was very thorough and gentle. I had two fractured teeth ! Must have been the Christmas nuts.! I received 2 x temporary fillings to ensure no further damage to my teeth and a follow up appt with my regular dentist to complete the treatment. I was really impressed with getting the appointment and receiving treatment. Thank you S3 for 1st class service. Happy New Year.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first appointment today. Easy to book appointments online, good availability, good doctor, receptionist. Availability of NHS treatment. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff, dentist are very knowledgeable. Good environment. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I just changed to this dental surgery and I'm very happy with them. Very professional and thorough. I definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Until now, I’ve only been to (private) dentist in my home country because I’d heard so many bad things about dentists here. However, I was in so much pain with my tooth that I had no choice but to take care of it locally. A nearby, highly-rated dental clinic, S3 Dental, accepted me as an NHS patient. So far, I’ve been there three times: once they referred me to another clinic for a tooth extraction (which wasn’t done by them, but they sent me there for it), and once they did a filling for me. Dr. Tanya Abathi and her assistant are both very kind and professional. Despite my imperfect English, we manage to understand each other completely. If necessary, we use a translator. Thanks to them, I can only say good things about dentistry here. I even told my partner to register with them, so if anything happens, he can go there immediately. Once, due to a fever, I had to cancel an appointment, but they called me the same day to reschedule it. The receptionists are always very friendly and helpful. ♥ I’ve had a great experience overall, and I highly recommend it to everyone!
Negative experience: i was in bad pain with an infection so i booked an appointment for the thursday afternoon only to be told that it would be cancelled about an hour or so before and that it would instead be the following morning but when i arrived home i was informed that that one would be cancelled and it would instead be in the afternoon but then i recieved a call an hour after that to say that one will also be cancelled,they are so unorganized and why offer appointments that you are unsure you can keep.
Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly service all round. I was given every opportunity to choose my treatment plan, which was explained thoroughly by the dental doctor. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: My appointment came after fifteen years of not going to the dentist,because I had a bad experience. I was very nervous and anxious. But the dentist made me feel alot calmer. And that was a great relief.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Dr Fahmida and her team for being so professional and caring with my little 5-year-old son. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I am over the moon with the treatment I have had from S3. Tanya is the most gentle understanding amazing dentist. Due to previous dentist in other surgeries I was wary of going back to any dentist. By amazing fortune I was seen by Tanya and I now love my teeth again. Can't recommend S3 enough.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has a phobia of needles and was very nervous about getting a replacement filling, Dr Hussam was so helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. He completely put her at ease. Brilliant dentist.
Fantastic experience: We were seen promptly and were provided great consultation. It was very thorough and our options of treatment were provided to us in detail. Highly recommend the surgery.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, I have not been to the dentist since forever, teeth in a terrible state, didn't feel judged, felt as though they genuinely wanted to help.
Fantastic experience: I am not very good at the dentist, but was very happy with how I was treated and taking time to discuss any issues I might have.
Fantastic experience: S3 Dental gets a huge thumbs up from me. Had a tooth extraction. I was very nervous and I needn't been. Excelent Dentist and Excellent Dental assistant. Totally recomend Thank you so much for your great service
Fantastic experience: Been visiting this dentist for years. Not normally a good experience, but today I had a new dentist and he was great. Very friendly and informative. Receptionists were lovely. All areas really clean. Much better experience than before.
Fantastic experience: This is a great dentist, been here for years really look after me , I’m very nervous patient and they really can’t do enough to make me feel better and less anxious , always fit me in for appointments when needed .DrSerene and her team are fantastic lovely receptionists . Also my son just saw dr Hussam he was fantastic with him , great team
Thank you for your kind words Shelley Remember to follow us on social media to keep up to date with the latest news and promotions our practice runs
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Dr Tanya Abathi and her dental assistant and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were both great and I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Changed dentists due to move. From initial greeting by the receptionist through to the proffesional friendly and thoughtful treatment by Tanya and Kristina really impressed with S3 dentists. Thanks for considered care and advice.
Negative experience: I am extremely disappointed with the treatment my father received at s3 dentist Despite being a patient, he was treated poorly due to his limited English skills. The staff was unhelpful and dismissive, making it clear that they were unwilling to accommodate his needs. This lack of respect and understanding is unacceptable in a healthcare setting. I would not recommend this practice to anyone who requires compassionate care and effective communication.
Sorry it didn’t work out. It is not you, it is us. You will be better off without us in your life. All the best
Fantastic experience: I am an extremely nervous patient and was putting this off for the last couple of years. It was only the wife stating that as we are getting older we need to start looking after what we have, better. I found S3 to be extremely welcoming and friendly. My dentist was SO friendly and reassuring with so much compassion to my nerves. I am so grateful to the care that I received and feel in good hands should any work need to be done. Thank you S3 and see you in 6 months
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment and left feeling very happy with my treatment plan. The staff are so lovely and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you!
