Ryton Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had to attend this practice for emergency treatment , can't speak highly enough of the professionalism and friendliness of the staff on reception and the Dentist Jessica. Thank you for the treatment and support I received on the day , my tooth is well and I'm pain free
Fantastic experience: I have recently had treatment from this dental practice and I can fully recommend it as the staff are very kind and courteous especially Paul as he is very reassuring and polite. Thanks also to Lucy and Rosie on reception as they are both very pleasant.
Negative experience: As previous customer I have also come to this practice for 60 years Mr Stobbs and Mr Friar before. All your customers knew this would happen. All about money. Very annoyed after working from the age of 15.5 now 62 and still paying full stamp. Have respect for your customers who stayed loyal after Mr Stobbs and keep those on NHS on NHS prices and don't disrespect us. I was told to go on NHS waiting list for Paul, but learnt he is also going private and I would be at the bottom of the list anyway. After 60 years you should feel ashamed at your lack of customer service and putting money first.
Thank you for your review. We do not mean any disrespect to any of our valued patients. We try to provide the best service we can under the current NHS system but appreciate we will never be able to satisfy everyone due to restrictions in capacity. We also do not want to misinform anyone. Dr Paul is not ‘going private’ he has continued to see his NHS patients and unfortunately his NHS list is full. We wish to remain open and honest and listen to our patients so if you would like to discuss in person the issues we are facing please contact us, we’d be happy to listen and be heard. Thank you
Negative experience: Been going to this dentist for nearly 40 years and now I'm told that the dentist I see is going private and I can't be seen by one of the others in the practice. My only options are going private,an extra expense I really could do without or trying to find another NHS dentist,and we all know how difficult that is. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.
We are really sad to receive this review.. We fully understand your frustrations in not being able to access NHS care easily. We all share the same frustrations. Despite our commitment to the NHS, for years now, the system has been unfair and neglected resulting in many dentists across the UK making the decision to move away from the NHS. As a practice, we can either let them leave or help them provide care independent of the NHS. We don’t want our dentists to leave as they are great dentists, who receive great feedback and provide great care and service. We also can’t replace them as recruiting an NHS dentist is very difficult, and finding a dentist like Jessica is near impossible. We’ve always invested in materials, equipment and training striving to provide excellent service and care for our patients. As a practice owner, I wanted to reply personally as I really do share your frustrations and I am also annoyed. But I am annoyed at an unfair system that has been neglected, they deserve 1 star. I’m not annoyed or frustrated with my dentists, I support them, as they provide excellent care and I don’t want them to leave Ryton. Thank you for your feedback
Negative experience: Having ongoing treatment for a crown, work on which originally started in March 2023. During this time I have had numerous appointments to make adjustments to the crown, to eventually be told it now has a hole and requires replacement. During this time I have had to live with sensitivity and discomfort, been asked to pay check-up fees despite all work being covered by a 12 month guarantee, and had to take a significant amount of time away from work to attend appointments (2.5 hours yesterday alone). Staff at the practice are extremely friendly though, which I am thankful for.
Fantastic experience: Made one of the most anxious days of my life comfortable can't thank enough
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good service and very efficient. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Never thought I'd say this about a visit to the dentist but what a pleasant experience. Friendly reception staff and a dentist who was very good with an extremely nervous patient. Thank you.
Positive experience: Excellent, 5* service as ever from Kathryn. Overall 3* as my husband and I (both OAPs) were horrified to discover that, without warning, the cost of the treatment has gone up by 50% since our last visit. Completely unreasonable!
Fantastic experience: Well organised , A very professional service. Very friendly staff felt totally at ease.I have been a NHS patient for over 20yrs. Very disappointed to be told they are going private. As a pensioner this makes it a lot more difficult a much higher cost involved.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, explained everything at every step of the treatment. Well impressed. Very friendly staff from receptionist to dentist. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: My dentist explained clearly that what he was proposing (to help me get back to playing my saxophone) was on the experimental side & therefore might not work. I said that I was prepared to take the risk as well as incurring the cost of the treatment, even if it failed, because I least I had given it a go. I trust his judgement in all aspects of my dental treatment & care
Fantastic experience: Was first class. Seen quickly even though I arrived early. Very pleasant and no stress.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist and hygienist and friendly helpful staff , it's a pleasure to go

Fantastic experience: Another visit to Jessica today, she is always friendly, and more importantly helps my nerves settle as soon as I sit down. Brilliant service, already made my next appointment.
Positive experience: I see back to waiting room downstairs very close to toilets... then the cupboard room - not ideal when using crutches. Saw the reception now on right and there is a private waiting room - not good See private patients waiting area comfy seats. Have to pass through to the tiny room....

Fantastic experience: Was very quick on time and very efficient. Dominic was so considerate and explained everything. Sorted my problem out painlessly.
Positive experience: jessica is great as my regular dentist, the others are smashing as well, admin staff are fantatistic, the dental rooms themselves are immaculate, why only 3 stars ? the state of the building is frankly disgraceful, Ive witnessed holes in carpets, tatty wallpaper, dirty marks on walls, light bulbs out, dirty skirting boards, it has challenges anyway with the layout, it used to be a residential house, but the general shabbiness of the place is actually offputting, whoever is in charge of the building needs to get there finger out and hand in pocket to update it to a profesional standard
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and kind staff. Efficient service. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Was very happy as I was able to have all the work completed in one visit as I live near Alnwick, so this saved a number of appointments with travel. I was very pleased with the work done. Carol Allinson
Fantastic experience: Attended my regular check-up and mentioned a troublesome root. This was extracted and some additional work completed. Very satisfied with the service.
Fantastic experience: Jessica makes a visit to the dentist a pleasure rather than the usual dread. She is always very happy and friendly
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly receptionist,dealt with quick and efficiently, treatment very good and helpful.
Fantastic experience: The staff were kind, caring and professional. They listened to my concerns and acknowledged my thoughts about treatment. They enabled me to make informed decisions and were supportive throughout,
Fantastic experience: Staff at this practice are excellent. Very professional in all aspects of their work. Very polite and well mannered. I would not hesitate in recommending this dental practice.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very friendly professional staff, unfortunately though they charged me twice for the same procedure instead of charging me for a check up and still waiting after contacting them to sort out a refund
Thank you for your kind words William!
Fantastic experience: Top class as always. Lovely to see Jessica again after such a long time.
Fantastic experience: Staff always friendly and efficient. Appointment time at 9 and seen at 9. Faultless. Tracey, their hygienist, very welcoming and puts me at ease. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Ryton Dental for quite a number of years now and can honestly say that all the staff are friendly and helpful .The dentists themselves explain everything to you .Really good service.
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment with Jessica. She was very friendly and informative
Fantastic experience: I've just had my six monthly checkup with Bilal. I had a little bit of a wait, but then a relaxed consultation and a good chat about an issue that was concerning me. Denise was super efficient on reception, booking me in at times to suit me for both Bilal and Tracey the hygienist. Excellent service folks thank you!
Thank you Lisa! The dreaded root canal treatment can put off any patient but we try to make it as nice of an experience as possible!
Fantastic experience: Good team, friendly and professional service - been our dentist for decades - never a problem,

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff , appointment on time , many thanks .
Fantastic experience: I have been unable to get a dentist appointment since before the corona virus pandemic so I haven't been to the dentist for about 5 years. Ryton dental clinic got me straight in this morning as an emergency I require 3 fillings and I have an appointment next week for the first two. The staff were friendly and helpful the clinic was a rustic old terrace house but was very modern inside. Overall brilliant service
Fantastic experience: Excellent professional, and friendly service from start to finish. Had an extensive filling and there was no discomfort whatsoever, thank you Jessica.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, Dominic and his assistant were very professional polite and friendly
Positive experience: After Lisa left the practice I was placed with Paul who advised having a fractured crown replaced. He went through my options and I decided upon another NHS crown. After having impressions taken, one of my other fillings became loose and then dropped out before the work was completed. Paul advised me that a crown would be the best option for this other tooth but I would have to pay a further £282 which I was quite surprised to hear. I thought it would be covered in the same NHS band. I therefore opted for another filling as there was no additional payment. Otherwise I am happy with work carried out by Paul.
Thank you for you kind words Christine!
Fantastic experience: Needed an appointment for filling repair, called in to make appointment and got one no problem. The receptionist then and the one I saw when I went for appointment were both friendly and welcoming. I needed further treatment and both dentists I saw were very helpful and explained treatment and costs with a follow-up up email confirming and offering further advice to help me decide before I go for my next appointment. Definitely recommend this practice, all staff made me feel welcome and acknowledged me while waiting for treatment.
Fantastic experience: Ryton Dental is a fantastic practice that makes the patient experience an absolute priority. Dr Charman made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my appointment.

Fantastic experience: As always, amazing staff and always make you feel so at ease. Recently recommended to have a porcelain crown (due to being one of my visible smiling teeth) - the whole process from preparation, to my temporary crown and today my final fitting, has been hassle-free.

Fantastic experience: Great service thanks. All staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Fantastic experience: I was incredibly anxious knowing that I would have over an hour in the chair.Both Paul and Lucy (?)were very kind, supportive and patient.Paul took the time to explain every step of the procedure and, although I can’t say I enjoyed the experience, I left feeling relieved that it had been much better than expected. I did have an issue at the start so Paul made appropriate adjustments and continued my treatment in a way that I was more comfortable and able to control my anxiety.Thank,you guys for your incredible patience.
Fantastic experience: After watching the really interesting videos on the tv screen in the upstairs waiting room I decided to have a consultation about Ivisalign. Rebecca was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, answering most of my questions before they were asked and the ones I later thought of. The scan was not unpleasant and it was fascinating to see the possible results that I can achieve. I'm really excited to take the next step!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service as usual, staff are always friendly and welcoming. This practice is to be highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and very informative staff,quick and thorough assessment. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: It was the third time I had met this dentist. He continued to be friendly, professional and good at what he did. The dental nurse was really good as well. They make a great team.
