Negative experience: Came in with a gum infection. Was told that it would cost 56 pound to see the dentist. Was told by the dentist that I have a gum infection. I was told that I have to have an x-ray which I didn't want but was told that I have to have it but they fail to tell me that it would cost an extra 21 pound. And this was all done just to tell me that I have a gum infection. I was given a prescription for antibiotics for a gum infection. I had to pay 9.99 for the antibiotics... So all in all I paid 87 pounds for antibiotics for gum infection .
Hi Cynthia Gilbert, thank you for your review. We’re sorry and disappointed to read your comments and take patient feedback very seriously. Please contact the practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager to discuss further.
Fantastic experience: Today I visited the Sandgate road dental surgery.The reception staff were friendly,helpful and efficient.My dentist and assistant were welcoming making me feel at ease. I received a thorough dental examination which included looking for any abnormalities or ulcers on the tongue which was reassuring.After the examination we discussed possible treatment that may be necessary in the future but at present it was a thumbs up.Pictures were taken and showed to me on the computer so I could see plaque build up and a visit to the hygienist was recommended. Overall the visit and service was 5 star.

Negative experience: * edit thanks for the response but I did reach out and spoke to the manager before leaving the review. Very unhappy with the recent appointments they have a charge as much as we can attitude so I ended up paying over £1200 to have a tooth removed they didn’t have the decency to use lube before they violated me . Tried speaking to the manager to be told we don’t have a price list as all dentists under there roof charge different rates as some are good ♂️

Fantastic experience: Have to recommend this BUPA dental practice, the treatments are first class! Just been to the hygienists, excellent care from Casey and Paige, the premises are clean, bright, and welcoming. I am not a nervous patient, but witnessed the care all of the staff gave to a scared elderly lady today, so she could have her treatment successfully.

Hi Chris Ian, many thanks for your feedback. We’re so pleased to read your comments.
Negative experience: You need to tell your old NHS patients that you have now gone private BEFORE they book an appointment, not once they’re sat in the chair!

Hello Olivia Treadwell, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re pleased that you were happy with your experience at Bupa Dental Care Folkestone. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Very good service still but we need an NHS dentist asap, not too chuffed at having to pay twice for my treatments, but that’s the way it is. Place is clean and the staff are friendly, no problems there!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review, and for your kind words about our practice. Please be assured we continue to look to fill our vacancy for an NHS dentist. Thank you.
Negative experience: I did have a regular check on September which they cancel. They keep telling that they do not have an NHS dentist and if I want I can book privately but will loose my NHS registration. Not good anymore.
Hi, thank you for your review. We’re sorry and disappointed to read your comments and take patient feedback seriously. There is currently a recognised nationwide shortage of NHS dentists across the UK which is causing delays or difficulty in booking appointments. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact the practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager.
Negative experience: The Dentist I used to see decided to go private which has meant I can only see a Hygienist, this doesn't give me the treatment I may require. Paying nearly £100.00 to have my teeth scraped isn't treatment it is just an expensive way to clean my teeth.
We are sorry to read your feedback. Hygiene appointments do offer a professional clean that can help maintain a healthy mouth and guard against serious future issues. But we respect the personal choices of each patient.
Negative experience: I left a favourable review last year but a lot has changed since then. I was an NHS patient but the practice kept cancelling my check up appointments, stating they were to busy. In the end I went online to book an appointment and got one within a week, which was good, I thought. However, it was only after having my check up and paying at reception, was I told that I'd have to pay as a private patient. I explained I had always been an NHS patient and my dentist who had treated me, was an NHS dentist. I was informed that my dentist, who I have been seeing for years by the way, is now a private dentist and they didn't have any NHS dentists at the moment, so Id have to pay for private treatment. It appears BUPA have taken over this dentist, turned all the NHS dentists into private ones and state they no longer have any NHS staff. Absolute madness. I'm now writing to BUPA for an explanation.
Hi, thank you for your review. We’re sorry and disappointed to read your comments and take patient feedback very seriously. Please contact the practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager to discuss further.
Negative experience: We had a great dentist but he was the only NHS dentist and decided to go private and now myself and my four children no longer have a dentist and cannot afford to go private! Nowhere else is taking on NHS patients and it has left a lot of people worried about theirs and their children's teeth!!
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer NHS care as we have been unable to recruit a new NHS dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Receptionist Kendra was really helpful. Great work by dentist Shilpa and dental nurse Emma.
Thank you your review - it makes a big differnce to everyone in our team to hear how patients are happy with the service we provide.
