Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My dentist went beyond amazing! His care & thoughtfulness has touched me so much. My dentist showed so much care & talked me through every step of the procedures & was so aware of my how anxious I was. I cannot commend him enough.

Can be hard to get an appointment as it is a very busy practise, my original date as 3 weeks after my phone call. Put name down for cancellation, they rang me 2 weeks later if a new date, great. Nice dentist explained what she was doing.

Review titled Extremely satisified with this practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 February 2023
I am always a little anxious about trips to the dentist. I had two appointments recently - firstly for a check-up with the dentist and secondly for a clean with the dental hygienist. Reception staff were welcoming, efficient, helpful and polite. Waiting room is bright and clean, but lacks a TV screen or music to provide distraction from an anxious wait. I was seen on time on both occasions. Both dentist and dental hygienist explained what they were doing as they went along, and offered me breaks should I need them, which I found reassuring. The treatment was carried out carefully and attentively (I didn't feel rushed or as if I was merely on a conveyor belt of patients) and I was offered advice about oral health and looking after my teeth. Their assistants were unobtrusively helpful and also demonstrated skilled use of the 'suction' instrument - which meant I was never uncomfortable. One possible improvement I would suggest is for the reception desk area to be relocated or reorganised if possible. There is limited space between the entrance/exit, the reception desk and the seated waiting area, so that - when the practice is busy - it is not easy to work out if there is a queue in place, where to join it, or if patients waiting for receptionists before/after treatment have separate queues. Perhaps a system and clear signage for separate queues would help? In this limited space, there is also an issue around confidentiality when patients are giving details. It might prove difficult to relocate/rearrange the reception area to offer greater privacy, but perhaps it could be considered. Overall though, I am very impressed and satisfied with Abbey Dental Practice.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Vijya - Posted on 03 February 2023
I was very happy the dentist I saw all were so friendly and understanding and make me feel comfortable as I really get nervous to go to the dentist. Only downside is when I rang to change my appointment I was in the queue but when I no came to three the call got disconnected this happened four times and one time it said line busy try again

Although the problem with the teeth was resolved, but they did not provide sufficient answers to the questions or to explain the problem i had and how to take care of it from happening again if possible.

Review titled Nervous patient
Rated 4 stars out of 5

After an absence of 9 years, I re-attended this surgery. No reason to attend apart from a check up. 4 x-rays and an exam & all ok apart from a hygienist clean. Dentist was very calm & informative. The Hygienist is not NHS subsidised so cost £65. I can afford this but worry about others that might not.

Review titled Not answering calls
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 January 2023
I’ve been calling since the morning because my mum needs a dentist immediately but I’m almost 10 on the queue when it comes to my turn, it says “we’re having a high number of calls, please try again later” but it doesn’t make sense because I’m the first on the line.
