He took the braces off 3 weeks before the wedding then quickly got me set up with teeth whitening.
I spent the whole day of my wedding smiling! Knowing that my teeth looked amazing! A friend came to me and said 'every picture I have, you have a massive smile on your face' you should always smile on your wedding day but without the help from David I would have felt uncomfortable smiling with my old teeth!!
Thank you so much!!! I love them!!!!

I just want to say a huge thank you to Richa and not forgetting Richa's assistant, (I do hope that is the right term) who is absolutely lovely. Thank you to everyone at Southport Road Dental, a truly amazing dentist.

Rashmi and David are the most empathic and patient centred Dentists I have ever experienced…
When Rashmi offered conscious sedation as a possible solution to my inability to access root canal treatment, I was resistant to say the least!
However, Rashmi allayed every fear I had and explained the safety aspects/risks/benefits of conscious sedation for patients like myself, who could otherwise face losing their teeth.
I have had 3 conscious sedations for root canal treatments in the last few months. I wish I had accessed it earlier by trusting Rashmi’s Experience, professionalism, patience and genuine care…
Following the sedations I had no recollections of the treatment which is a Huge benefit to anxious patients like me. All 3 sedations were positive experiences enhanced by the amazing team at Southport road - Julie and Lindsey the sedation nurses were calm, reassuring and warmly supportive, as were all the other staff present during my treatments! Rashmi performed the sedations whilst David expertly completed the root canal treatments…
I am eternally grateful to you all for getting me out of pain and saving my teeth - You’re absolute legends!


I love the results after a year of braces. I feel so much better about my smile. Its given me some of my confidence back. The staff really looked after me in this time and I could not be more pleased

I cant speak more highly of everyone here.
From reception to consultation to treatment.
Very personable... I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Thank you 😊

They are amazing! From start to finish! I used to be an extremely nervous patient but David reassured me that I had nothing to worry about! They were gentle and having the braces put on and removed didn’t hurt in the slightest. I’ve always hated my smile so I hid it for years but now I’ve had them straightened and whitened I can’t stop smiling!
Couldn’t recommend David enough! I probably talk about Southport Road Dental Practice every week!
Thank you so much for making me love my smile!!



I am a needle phobic, something I have really struggled with for years and have some pretty horrific memories of sitting in that dentist chair.
I reached a point where I needed to try and move forward with my dental phobia, my luck would run out at some point and I didnt want to have to approach a new dentist in an emergency situation. I needed to find someone I could open up to and trust. Someone to work through options and treatments with me step by step.
I got in touch with Southport Road Dental in Chorley as they provide sedation dentistry as an option for nervous patients. Rashmi and her team could not have been more welcoming, understanding, knowledgeable and professional. I didnt feel judged having neglected my gums and that was so important to me. From the initial consultation right through my treatment pathway I have been cared for to an exceptionally high standard, Rashmi went above and beyond.
The sedation worked really well and was painless. Even though I still have anxieties, Rashmi has been there for me every step of the way and we can continue to work on keeping regular appointments and moving forward.
This dental practice and not only saved me losing my teeth but has changed my outlook on my oral health and general well being.
For any dental phobics out there, please dont hesitate to give them a call. You don't even sit in the dentist chair for the first appointment. Just go and have a coffee and a chat and see what they could do for you. I promise you wont regret it.
A heart felt THANK YOU to Rashmi and Southport Road Dental. You're AMAZING.

It's a big decision to get braces at 27 but after looking at myself on Zoom calls for months, I knew I had to do something!
I'd been to other orthodontists for an initial consultation but I was confident from my first contact with David (via the virtual consultation email), I knew I could put my trust in him.
The braces were really discreet and the treatment throughout was pain free, which I was surprised and very happy with! The whole team were always very friendly and put me at ease throughout the whole process. I wouldn't say I look forward to going to the dentist, but I never felt nervous either which is definitely a good sign.
I can honestly now say that getting braces and getting them with Southport Road Dental was the best decision of my life. Thank you so much!


David and his team are so approachable professional and friendly.
Recently we have received some amazing cosmetic work - teeth straightening, veneer replacements, composite and whitening work …. David’s attention to detail has been second to none we are so pleased with the finished results … and of course all pain free !
Thank you … big smiles from us !

I would highly recommend this practise over and over please go for an appointment you will be very happy with the service and result! Amazing work!
All the staff really care about you too.

Thank you David and Rashmi

Thank-you everyone you are simply the best at what you do.






If you are thinking of using Southport Road - think no longer - book!!





I saw Michelle yesterday. She is lovely & so gentle. My mouth feels wonderful.
It's my little Christmas treat to myself.



The staff are lovely and welcoming.
Highly recommend




Thankyou x


My experience here can only be described as life changing!
From meeting Maria to talk about what I wanted to achieve by coming to the surgery to being seen by Rashmi and the team, who treated me with care and patience, listening and taking time to understanding my fears and giving me a clear treatment plan that would help improve my oral health.
I can now smile without being embarrassed about my teeth, feel confident that I know how to look after them through proper brushing techniques and more importantly, have a functioning relationship with a dentist I trust will keep me pain free and help me to make informed decisions about my care moving forward.
If you’re thinking about making appointment, don’t put it off any longer- I promise this will be the best decision you make!


I cannot explain how much this dental practice has been there for me.
Every single person employed is a absolute 😇 angel! I could not ask for better professionalism and care taken to ones dental care!
Hands down you guys are ace!


See you in 6 months 😁

But also the dedication and attention to detail from the Hygienists is amazing. I've had *many* dental cleans in my life, but Michelle is absolutely *incredible* and the best ever. She works so hard and meticulously goes over every very single one of my weird and dodgy cracks-and-crevices and owns the entire cleaning process with me - you come back with serious homework to undertake between visits, and that suits me absolutely. Do not ever let Michelle leave! 😍
Hopefully, with the help of everyone at SRD my NHS £x00,000 investment will remain in excellent condition to my end-of-days ... I wouldn't trust anyone else! 💞

Lovely receptionist , very kind as I was feeling sick due to dental abscess. Dentist explained everything / didn't feel a thing , even injection as he used numbing gel prior to injection. Drilled , cleaned out & packed tooth with dressing. Will be changing to this dentist even though it's 30mins from home ,


Im so pleased with my smile. I wouldn't go any where else now, even for just a quick check up. It's such a welcoming, and friendly place, and really is pain free!! Thank you again David.

Thank you all so much for a stress free, painless experience.
I can truly smile with confidence for the first time in around 45 years😃
You are all stars ✨ x










I was drawn to them because of the 'painfree' aspect and I've found that they certainly live up to it.
I usually see Alice and she always puts me at ease. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and I'd recommend this practice to anyone and it's definitely worth the trip from Southport to me!


I found Southport Road Dental on line and liked the 'pain free' focus.
I have now had 3 appointments and can honestly say although not major treatments for someone as nervous as me treatments of any kind are a major stresser.
My appointments have been handled with professionalism, empathy and care. I have felt in control at all times and have full confidence in their handling of my treatments.
I still have a way to go to get my smile at its best but I'm a lot closer than I was last month!
Thank you to all the team for supporting me through this.
I'd recommend you to everyone.













Had my teeth re built after a motorbike accident, had a lot of work done but over the moon with how they have come out !! Feel like I can smile again �
Thank you very much !! �












From walking in, receptionist - great
But the service, treatment and reassurance received from Rashmi was 2nd to none.
Never been a huge fan of going to the dentists and always make an excuse to postpone but since finding southport road dental surgery I've now regained my faith and confidence. Thank you!
