Anna the dentist is amazing! I have struggled with my anxiety around dentists since I had a very bad experience many years ago. Today, (for the first time in decades) I had a tooth extraction without going to hospital and being sedated. All thanks to Anna and her wonderful dental nurse. Thank you Anna for being so wonderful 💖

Great dentist - always very friendly and they try to make it a fun experience for my son everytime we go, which I think is a great way to get him used to going (2years old).

I had an incredible experience at my recent dental appointment, I get my teeth cleaned every 6 months and I couldn't be more impressed by the exceptional care I receive every time. The dental hygienist Emma, made me feel so comfortable and at ease. The hygienist was not only incredibly skilled but also kind and friendly, taking the time to explain every step of the cleaning process and making sure I was comfortable the entire time. The dental hygienist Sheroz who cleaned my teeth last time also did a brilliant job, would definitely recommend to everyone 👍🏼

I recently underwent an implant procedure for my upper front tooth. From the first consultation with Ash I immediately felt comfortable and confident as he talked me through the procedure thoroughly from beginning to end in great detail which i really appreciated. I felt completely at ease with Ash and the nurses that worked with him before, during and after the procedure. The whole team from the reception staff to the dental nurses and Ash himself looked after me really well and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Since having my implant, I feel like I can smile with confidence again and the implant looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth. I am very grateful to everyone involved, they are a fantastic team.

I am terrified of dentists and had to have sedation. The lady who did the work was the kindest, most patient dentist I've met and I'm 55!

I had braces fitted in 2023 by Jeri Issac and I would like to thank him and the other dental practitioners for being friendly and professional in all of my visits to the dental practice. I have now recently had my braces removed and I am very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommended using Somers Square Dental Practice.

Just had my wisdom tooth out with Dr Sarah. I can not thank you enougth for your compassionate and empathy towards me. I am very anxious when it comes to the dentist, but my wisdom tooth had my anxiety even worse. Sarah explained the procedure in great detail pre opp and post opp. Thank you so much for getting me out of this agony pain. I have have been to so many dentist in the past few months and hoenslty the treatment at Somers Square is abserlouty incredible. The reception staff are so welcoming and nothing is to much trouble . I needed fillings done and prior coming here other dentist were unable to carry this out. I use to be an nhs patient at Somers Square but they have not been able to take me on atm as nhs patient. I definitely recommend SUCHITA, she is am amazing dentist so kind and caring. The empathy she had towards her patient is incredible. So professional and still has very caring nature. She did my fillings twice and I am such nervous patient. Nothing was too much trouble she took her time explaining and carried out the treatment. Even tho I am entitled on the nhs but I was more then happy to pay as private patient under Suchita care. Thank you so much for all the treatment.
