I attended an appointment here as an initial consultation. I have not attended a dentist for many years due to a number of reasons, mainly due to how they made me feel. When I arrived I was greeted, made to feel welcomed and most importantly listened too. There was many tears and feelings of being overwhelmed, however, Rashmi and her team were very supportive and most of all non-judgemental.I had a few appointments to discuss my treatment plan, sedation and results that I wanted. I was sedated under the pain free dentistry which I never thought was possible, however, the team were professional throughout all the planning and I felt at ease being informed of every step of my treatment plan.I have researched dentists for a number of years, booking appointments and cancelling them , due to fear and worry. However, I took the plunge to see Rashmi and I am so happy that I did. I have been on a journey and still have a journey to go however, I would never go anywhere else for dental work. I highly recommend Southport Road Dental Practice to anyone. Even if you drop them an email or see them for an initial consultation you will feel welcomed and not judged. I have a smile I love and feel confident when talking and smiling, which has been a very long time since I felt this way!Cannot thank them enough for everything. Sasha.

I've been scared and avoided going to the dentist for years. Rashmi and David at Southport Rd Dental were recommended to me and I decided to take the plunge. From the moment I spoke to Rashmi, she put my mind at ease. The initial consultation was extremely calm and Rashmi was unbelievably patient with me. Fast forward 10 months and I've had various treatments and Root Canal treatment with sedation. I've even let Rashmi file a tooth without any sedation. Rashmi really is amazing and I'm genuinely looking forward to going back for a check up and a chat. 5 stars really isn't enough!! Manda Malcolm

I can not fault this practice! I had a full set of braces on for almost 2 years, every time I attended I was seen on time and all the staff are the friendliest I've met. If you are thinking of getting braces I highly recommend coming here and If David does them I know you are in good hands. My only regret is not getting them done sooner.

Great dentist. All the staff are so lovely and David has done an amazing job with my brace. I’m super happy with the results, as well as how well I am treated each visit. Can’t recommend enough!

I was really lucky to stumble across Southport Road dental surgery a long time ago!From the first visit I knew it was a good find. The reception staff make you feel like you are special ,how you find such lovely staff I don't know.Onto the dentists who are second to none & this includes Michelle the hygienist such a lovely person & great at what she does.Rashmi& David are a great couple with nothing too much trouble. If you need an emergency appointment they go out of their way to fit you in. Their friendly approach immediately puts you at ease & you feel more like a friend.Everything they have done to my teeth has been first class so thankyou again can't praise you enough.

Nothing but praise for this dentist. I was absolutely terrified but all of the staff were amazing and I didn't feel a thing! Mark is fantastic! He made sure that my gum health and other teeth were in good shape before working on improving my smile. I am over the moon with my new crowns. I can't praise him enough.

Fantastic service, all treatment well explained. Very nervous patient but received excellent care and sedation prior to surgery.

I was recommended this dentist practice, in particular Dr Rashmi. The whole team makes you feel at ease. Having dental anxiety this is very important for me. I opted to have dental sedation. The whole process was amazing from the pre appointments to the aftercare. The sedation itself allowed the work to be done, and everyone's attitude helped me to remain calm. During the pre appointments, Dr Rashmi was able to get me to use different skills to get xrays that I have been unable to do previously. The sedation appointment was also fantastic. Throughout the process, the team checks on you, and nothing is too much trouble. Overall, not only has this experience allowed me to gain confidence in visiting the dentist, but given me the confidence to smile again.

I can’t thank the team at Southport Road Dentist enough. Every person I came into contact with, whether that be over the phone or face to face, did nothing but make the experience as easy and as comfortable as possible. I have felt unhappy about my tooth for a couple of years now. David very kindly gave my tooth a quick polish during a consultation and was able to completely remove the staining that had been bothering me. Prior to the consultation, I was worried that I was going to have to spend a fortune and take on a big job to get my tooth looking better. I left the practice feeling confident, happy and 100% positive that I will return in the future. Thank you so much!

Excellent service from David, Rashmi and all of the team at Southport Road Dental, been going to this practice for over a year now after being recommended by a friend and would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

I can’t praise or thank everyone enough, from receptionists and dental nurses to the dentists themselves who provide a friendly comfortable atmosphere for even the most dental-phobic patients - of which I am one! From my first assessment appointment I was patiently listened to and my fear of experiencing pain dealt with by providing sympathetic but professional reassurance. Being faced with the terrifying prospect of needing root canal work, Dr Rashmi took her time to explain the process to be carried out. At no point did I feel rushed into any decisions but with all the facts at my fingertips my selecting sedation whilst the work was carried out proved to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Having been afraid of dentists since a child (now 70+) I now feel I’ve found my “home” at last, where I know I’ll be taken good care of and have access to painless dentistry. Thanks Dr Rashmi and David. And it doesn’t end there - I was contacted the day after to ensure I was ok after sedation with a review examination arranged a few days later for her to ensure the work had been successful. So, if you’re nervous or have a phobic fear then you’ll be in safe hands with Southport Road Dental Practice in Chorley.

I would highly recommend this dental practice to anybody, Rashmi and David treated me. I was absolutely terrified of the Dentist, but they put me at ease and gave me the confidence to smile againWhat a great practice and amazing caring staff

Emma Euers

I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone! Had abit of a dental emergency after a chipped tooth on Sunday. I emailed the practice Sunday evening and David fitted me in Monday morning. Very happy with results as always. Wonderful dentist!

Paul Barton

18:26 20 Jul 24

Great service from the practice from calling for an appointment all the way through to leaving. Thanks to Dave I was seen within a couple of days, had my X-rays and new filling all pain free. Would highly recommend!

Richard Kemp

19:52 10 Jun 24

Outstanding—Recommended by a friend. Didn’t disappoint.Drs Chattopadhyay and Hickey provided pain free dentistry for me today.I needed a filling and some restoration work. I can genuinely say I haven’t experienced a better service. Rashmi took time to explain and deliver the numbing process, (exceptional attention to detail). David invisibly restored one tooth and built up another.I won’t hesitate to go back in the future.

Chloe Deane

I approached David at the beginning of February with worries about my smile for my wedding in May. I had a fear of going to the dentist, for over 15years! David listened to my worries, concerns and came up with a plan…swiftly! The full team ensure you’re kept at ease, relaxed and fully prepared for your treatment.Thanks to David, I was able to receive the treatment required, pain free and ensured I had the long awaited smile for my wedding day! Going forward, I don’t think I will have any worries visiting the practice for any further checkups! Five star service!

Walked in left my details for an emergency appointment got seen the same day. Had a tooth extraction done, it was pain free and they reassured me every step. Thank you

Kath Andrews

10:48 16 May 24

I cannot recommend this dental practice enough and discovered it when i was researching dental sedation.I have a dental phobia and needed some treatment - from that first phone call where I was distraught just ringing for an appointment, every member of staff has been fantastic, understanding and non judgemental.I had treatment under dental sedation and this has been a complete game changer for me. Rashmi and all the staff are so understanding and patient. They really do care and have everyone's best interests at heart.I'm still anxious, but thanks to this amazing place and caring staff - I hope to one day say 'I had a dental phobia' - not have!

Nicola Wilkinson

I would highly recommend Southport Rd dental for anyone who is a nervous patient like myself. I hadn’t attended a dentist for many years due to bad experiences at other practices. I knew I needed treatment and I really wanted to address my fears so this time I did my research,I found this practice had great reviews from nervous patients. From my first consultation with Rashmi I knew I was in good hands, it was a totally different experience than I’ve had before. Rashmi understood my concerns and we spoke about how we can work together to overcome them. I was booked in for sedation for some restorative work . I was apprehensive at first as I have had sedation at another practice that didn’t work very well. However this time the sedation worked well and I was able to have a 2 hour long treatment with no memory of it whatsoever! I now have a new found confidence that I can attend regularly, something I never thought would be possible.Everyone goes above and beyond from the reception team to the clinicians.

Geoff Parkinson

17:04 23 Mar 24

I had a dental emergency, and after leaving an email telling David what had happened (bridge came loose) He rang me at home and said he would see me immediately. This was Saturday afternoon. He fixed it for me in 30 minutes, and all pain-free of course. Absolutely Marvellous, no hesitation in recommending him.

I have been attending Southport Road Dental for many years and they always keep my gnashers in tip top condition! That's the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth...

nikita james

14:03 20 Mar 24

I first came to see Rashmi ashamed of my smile and terrified of the dentist and after the most amazing care and through sedation today I am smiling bigger and have nicer whiter teeth! Thank you so much to Rashmi and the whole team for being amazing with me

M Banks

10:57 20 Mar 24

A very big thank you to Cate and team at the Southport Road Dental Practice.Having not attended for some time I was nervous to say the least but Cate fully explained all options available and carried out the dental plan including sedation in a highly professional manner.Excellent service.

Barry Smith

10:33 13 Mar 24

I was told I needed an extraction, which was described as an ‘awkward one ‘ and I would need an hour long appointment with Rashmi. My experience was pain free and I had very little lasting after-effects. Thanks to Rashmi and her dental assistant I was out well within the hour. Barry

Maria Bond

14:57 12 Mar 24

Wow were do I start, am a very nervous patient, dentist and teeth my biggest fear, hence why I would never go I haven’t been for a very long time, years and years. I felt traumatised by the thought and affected me badly. With support from family and friends I was booked an an appointment with Rashmi, I had my consultation and I was booked in for my treatment, teeth extracted and a deep clean. I will not lie I was very scared, I mean scared. I had my treatment on Friday, I was put at ease, Rashmi is fantastic and so lovely I can’t thank her enough, Lindsey so lovely, both very understanding my fear, did a brilliant job off looking after me, I had the sedation as I was so scared and I didn’t feel any pain at all, I strongly say to others who have this same fear, if I can do it anybody can do it and I highly recommend Rashmi she will look after you

Victoria Dawes

18:28 01 Mar 24

Welcoming, friendly, reassuring, non-judgmental & highly dedicated to their cause. If you’ve ever had negative experiences with previous dentists or are nervous at the thought of going to the dentist- rest assured that you will be in the best possible hands at Southport Road Dental. Their family values shine through-bringing a certain calm to the waiting room. I initially went to see David for teeth straightening options but he immediately spotted I had some issues with my gums that would need to be dealt with first. That’s when I met Rashmi who unwaveringly assured me she could get my gums back to their best possible health so that I could achieve the smile that I’d hoped for, and that she did! Both David, Rashmi & their whole team are incredible at what they do. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Jason Sharples

00:36 11 Feb 24

I couldn't recommend Southport Road Dental more to anyone looking for a dentist that is welcoming and will give you the care you need for good value, for anyone looking for a new dentist you won't be disappointed, the staff are friendly and care about what they do.

At Southport Road Dental clinic I have received outstanding dental care and I rate this practice as the best there is in the area. I see Rashmi, the dentist and Rebecca, the hygienist, at regular intervals but have also seen David and once saw Marc for an emergency appointment. I am happy to recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for high-quality dental treatment. I list below what I see as the key features of this practice and I have tried to explain the reasons for my judgement.It offers the following:• highly skilled professionals who are able to provide advanced dental procedures such as teeth straightening and implants (my husband has had a very successful implant sorted out by David);• a practice that is prepared to invest in the latest technology (I have had a crowned tooth made by 3D printing on the premises in 30 minutes rather than the traditional procedure of removal-temporary crown-final fitting);• care shown in checking ongoing dental health eg. comparison of new X-rays with old, comparison of measurements of gum-line at regular intervals etc. (eg. it was noticed that I was wearing down the surface of a crowned tooth and it was suggested that I would benefit from a dental night guard which has protected the tooth for some years now);• dentists who take time to discuss your care needs, explain the situation and possibilities for treatment and answer your questions; (I have just been concerned about a possible oral cancer which was checked by both David and Rashmi who referred me to a consultant the same day);• minimal waiting times as the staff do their best to see you at your appointment time;• excellent and friendly support staff;• a pleasant environment – all recently modernised with more rooms being built;• a practice that is open long hours to accommodate those who are working;What more can I say except that I feel fortunate that we have this facility here in Chorley.

Very high quality dental practice. I had a dental implant last year and I cannot tell it is not my own tooth. My wife has also had dental problems sorted out and she feels well looked after. Highly recommended.

Joanne Wareing

18:41 11 Dec 23

I hadn’t been to the dentist for 20 years, I was so frightened, but desperate to get my smile back. I had a damaged front tooth and crooked teeth, it was easier not to smile than face my fears. Eventually, I plucked up the courage and went to see David. He was amazing, he was so calming and supportive. He talked me through all my options and understood how scared I was, so advised me to see Rashmi. She was so kind and understood every single thing I was scared about. Between the two of them, I have gone through 18 months of treatment and finally feel confident to smile. It’s not a miracle cure, I’m still nervous, but trust them implicitly and don’t hesitate to make appointments as needed. I can’t thank them enough and can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent care, skills and people. They ease my anxiety and instill me with reassurance, which as a nervous patient means the world. Flexible, understanding and always happy to explain and answer my millions of questions. They are the best of the best.

Rebecca Winstanley

09:44 21 Oct 23

I’ve been a patient at Southport Road dental for many years, as have many of my family and friends. I honestly cannot thank David and Rashmi enough for the treatment myself and my family have received. I’m a very nervous patient and I always feel at ease when attending for my appointments. Both Rashmi and Dave are caring, approachable, reassuring and explain treatment in great detail, allowing me to make the best decision for my dental care. They are fantastic dentists and it’s a practice like no other! I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone! Great dentists and great team 👍

Jonathan Ashworth

09:43 21 Oct 23

I haven’t been to a dentist in years and was extremely nervous about attending. I initially had an appointment with Rashmi who was understanding, caring and thorough in her examination and explanation of what was to be expected in terms of the processes, options and costs, which immediately put me at ease. I then proceeded to have treatment with David, who again was caring, approachable with information and the treatment. The dentists and the nurses did a superb job of making me at ease and comfortable and carrying out the work necessary, to an exemplary standard. I whole heartedly recommend Southport Road Dental.

Mick Nolan

Cannot thank Rashmi enough for helping me with my sore tooth. Treatment was quick and 100% pain free! Would definitely recommend Southport road to anyone with dental anxiety.

Pam Keal

18:07 13 Oct 23

I came to the Southport Road dental practice in difficulty, unable to arrange the treatment I needed elsewhere, despite seeing another dentist regularly. I was anxious, knowing that I needed a tooth to be extracted. But having had teeth taken out before, I knew it was not a procedure to look forward to. David agreed to see me, and I can only describe the care he gave me as exceptional. He put me at ease straightaway, explained everything thoroughly and I felt no pain at any point. My experience was calm and unrushed, and David's professionalism shone through. Everyone at the practice was friendly and welcoming. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice to others.

Janet E Hardman

17:06 13 Oct 23

I recently had a bit of work done with David which included an implant and sedation. The whole process was pain free and I can’t even remember the implant placement appointment which is a bonus. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to have pain free dental treatment!

Deborah Lombard

16:51 13 Oct 23

I recently had a crown done with Alice. It was very professionally done and painfree. I would definitely recommend this dentist.

Oliver Lombard

I had top and bottom braces done with David. The whole process was smooth and I’m very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to improve their smile

08:24 29 Aug 23

Amazing dentist practice, all the team are professional and friendly. Started going to Southport Road as I needed a route canal treatment and it was recommended to me by a friend. Marc explained everything thoroughly and put me at ease. Didn’t feel any pain during the treatment. Since then I’ve kept going and now most of the family use them too.Would highly recommend.

Paula

17:47 10 Aug 23

I have had the most amazing experience after signing up to this dental practice. My first experience was with Richa Sharma I can only describe her as amazing she has rekindled my faith in going to the dentist she is open and answers any questions her recommendations have been excellent and they do not push you into anything. I have had the most amazing experience.I decided to have dental implants which were done by David and the whole experience has been fantastic from start to finish. The whole team are so professional and friendly. I can honesty say that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE. Thank you Richa and David and not to forget the lovley receptionist.Thank youSharon S

I started out as a nervous dental patient, but on meeting the team at Southport road I was happy that I was in excellent hands. The entire team are friendly, welcoming and unwaveringly understanding.Their 'pain free' claim is absolutely accurate - I've had several treatments and procedures and felt nothing.Worth every minute and every penny. Now I'm a confident patient.

Usha Benjamin

13:36 14 Jul 23

A great book written by RashmiI really like this book - "P.S.I love me."It is well thought out and beautifully written, very relevant at a time when many youngsters are being led into trying, as they perceive it , to improve their appearance.There is freedom in her writing and the language is directed to the younger generation.Her strong message is the value of self worth will override the negative peer pressure. It also expresses the importance of strong family values.The content of the book which includes poem and photographs is excellent. It has a refreshing outlook on aesthetic care.I highly recommend it to anyone considering facial rejuvenation.

Margaret Jenner

14:32 14 Jun 23

I would highly recommend Southport Road Dental Practice for anyone who is at all nervous of the dentist. I have been registered at this practice for many years and have always been satisfied with the care and attention given to me.Recently I had problems and Rashmi told me I needed root canal treatment followed by crowns. Being a very anxious person, the thought of undergoing such treatment terrified me.However, I needn't have worried as Rashmi discussed in details all my options and gave me time to think it through.I went ahead, opting for sedation on both appointments.What an experience - I have no memory of the procedures and suffered no pain during them.David, Rashmi and Lesley the dental nurse were wonderful! They really made me feel at ease.Thank you.

11:51 17 May 23

I've been a patient for a few years. Had to have an emergency appointment and extraction last week and Cate was incredible. she explained everything gave me a heap of options and made me feel great about my choice. Private can be expensive but having someone care about you and your wellbeing and how you look after the work, is priceless.

Fiona Ryder

22:14 16 May 23

Rashmi and her team are amazing and I cannot recommend enough! I recently had an extraction with sedation and it was by far the best dental experience I've ever had.Due to a previous bad experience elsewhere I am a very anxious and nervous patient and just the thought of undergoing another extraction terrified me. Rashmi took time to thoroughly discuss all my options and her reassurance provided me with confidence in my decision. Rashmi has a very patient, caring and professional manner and is very empathetic with her approach. I just knew I was in good hands.The sedation was amazing! I have no memory of the procedure and my nerves just melted away. It was a million times better than my last experience elsewhere with absolutely zero pain!!! I cannot recommend and thank enough!All the staff are really friendly and you are always greeted with a warm welcome which instantly puts you at ease.It was the best experience, I would give 10 stars if I could. So if you're considering it, just do it, you'll never look back!

Andy Capp

16:21 02 May 23

David, Rashmi and the team at Southport Road Dental Practice have been looking after my teeth for years and they are excellent. The staff are professional and make sure that you are fully informed at ease during any treatments. Preventative hygiene visits (twice a year for me) and a yearly check up mean that actual dentistry is rare! Would highly recommend.

Alan Williams

16:18 02 May 23

I’ve been a patient here for nearly 30 years and even though I’ve since moved away I still travel here for my dental care. David, Rashmi & their team look after me with a professional & dedicated attitude. I am totally satisfied with the care & service I receive.

Ann Heaps

07:35 02 May 23

I had braces as a child but over the years my teeth have crossed and having seen myself in recent holiday photos I decided to bite the bullet and sort them out. From start to finish it was fantastic. my best friend did not even notice I had had my braces fitted until I beamed at her. It only took 4 months and now I have my smile back and can confidently smile on future photos thank you so much Southport Road I couldn’t be happier

Justine Harding

11:17 05 Apr 23

Shocking receptionist Lucia, would not give me details of dentists experience/qualifications when asked, would not book me in with the dentist I requested and it was like a sales pitch and pushing me into going with the dentist I didn’t want by telling me that the dentist David I requested an appointment with was not empathic with nervous patients!!

Mark Sutton

10:45 31 Mar 23

Thanks Rishmi and Lindsey for amazing treatment and care, you put me at ease from the moment i came through the door, would recommend your practice. Thanks guys Mark Sutton.

21:11 05 Feb 23

Have visited the practice a few times over the past month! Both Dave and Rashmi are friendly, extremely skilled at their craft and put me at ease straight away. They explained every step of my treatments to me in a way I could understand. Everyone in the practice are kind and warm which means I'd absolutely recommend this practice!!!

Phillipa Da Costa

10:14 28 Jan 23

As a very nervous patient I can not recommend this practice highly enough. After a week of consistent pain I was in and out and pain free really quickly . They really looked after me and I will definitely not go anywhere else.

Rebecca Slater

00:54 23 Jan 23

I contacted David 8 months before my wedding day, hoping he could give me straight white teeth! He did not let me down! I was in the chair having my braces fitted withing days, after our first email. I was a little nervous but David made me feel comfortable and reassured.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!!!!

Janet Wilkinson

11:04 21 Jan 23

Absolutely brilliant rashmi was amazing made me feel so comfortable as I am a very nervous patient. All the way through my treatment she talked to me definitely recommended her.

I'm a patient of David for over a year. I've decided to changed my smile and do braces( Im 39 year old now).Which is happened and I've been told I may need to remove a teeths maybe in a few months time. So I've been told I need to remove just one but I was so nervous for 3 weeks before my app and my visit been booked for the 6th of January.It is pain free dentistry that's what they say ? And it is 100%true 😃 I have a chat with David before the procedures he asked me what I'm afraid etc and he told me to relax. He use a numb gel so didn't feel any discomfort of the injections and he removed my tooth within a second don't even hear a crack sound. He did make sure I've not bleed after procedure as I have a blood condition disease which been checked with my hematology doctor if is safe to do before by David.I highly recommended David as a dentist and orthodontist and looking forward to smile with confidence every day 😄Kind regards Magdalena

I cannot praise this dentist practice enough. I have in the past had bad experiences from dentists and this has made me very apprehensive, to say the least, with visiting dentists. I was that worried about going to the dentist, I have suffered for years and used strong pain killers instead of sorting the problem. Being in pain was no way to live so I decided enough was enough. My partner found Southport Road Dental for me as they advertise pain free dentistry. Given my past experiences I was very sceptical but being in pain again, I needed help. My consultation went well, everyone I met was friendly and my dentist Richa Sharma was amazing, taking time to make me feel calm and relaxed. As I had expected I required a couple of extractions and a filling which were then booked in. I must admit I didn't think I would be able to pluck up the courage to go back but I did to start my treatment. They advertise pain free dentistry and that is exactly what you get. Richa Sharma Is absolutely amazing. She has an amazing knack of being able to make you feel relaxed, explains everything and goes at a pace you are comfortable with. So far I have had one extraction and a filling and have felt nothing during the procedure. I still have more treatment and at the time of writing this, I am psyching myself up for today's visit.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

Fantastic start to finish. I was well informed and made to feel comfortable at every appointment. I started as a nervous patient however this is no longer the case after my experience here. Thanks to Dave I now have a smile I can be proud of.

Would like to give a special thanks to Marc who performed an emergency extraction of my wisdom tooth. My wisdom tooth was giving me a lot of grief, when one night I couldn't put up with it any longer. I rang the next morning and asked for an emergency appointment, the very next day I was called in to see Marc. He was soft spoken and gave me a step by step process of the work he was going to perform. Now I can say that I have absolutely no pain whatsoever and I'm looking to book further work in the future. Thank you👍👍👍

Review for Southport Road Dental Practice - Pain free Dentistry.Conscious Sedation.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 myself. 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!

Attended with a fractured tooth- ended up having prep work done for 2 crown covers?Was given a follow up gir 10 days later.Been in absolute agony now since nerve block wore off!Trying to get an appointment -never had any pain prior to visit!So disheartening - just hope he hasn’t done more damage ….

Calling for a simple cleaning, they wanted to book 1 appointment for consultation (£74) and an appointment for the cleaning (£70).Consequently a simple brush out would have costed me £140!!Thanks, but NO thanks.

I cannot thank David enough for the Amazing job he has done to my teeth, I walked in feeling very self conscious when smiling and now I cannot stop smiling. He has gone beyond my expectations and always making sure I was happy and comfortable at all the times. I highly recommend Southport Road Dental

Marc has completely transformed my teeth. I have gone from having teeth I was ashamed of to having teeth that regularly get complimented. Everything I have had done has been 100% pain free and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I have to say this has been the best experience I have had with any dentist. The calm relaxed atmosphere at the Southport Road Dental Practice made my anxiety about seeing the dentist a non issue. Everyone from the receptionists to my dentist made be feel at ease while I was attending my appointment.Pain free dentistry is exactly what I received. The relaxation techniques my dentist used while I was being treated was something I had not received before and made the whole experience an enjoyable one.I have had the pleasure of having David and Rashmi as my treating dentists and their professional patient centred approach to my treatment was fantastic. Their educational approach to treatment has given me easy to implement skills that not only improve my oral health but my overall health as well.I will definitely be returning to Southport Road Dental Practice and have encouraged my family and friends to do the same.

Rashmi is an incredibly understanding person who was very supportive with my Wife who was feeling extremely anxious about going to the Dentist. The other members of Staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

I came to the surgery because it was impossible to get an NHS dentist appointmentI arrived with a modicum of fear as I was afraid of dentists all my life they could not have been more reassuringI was treated by Alice RoseShe and her assistants could not have been more sympatheticI had the recommended treatmentI am delighted with the resultsAnd with no pain whatsoeverI cannot recommend this practice enoughThey are amazing

Tracie Broome

18:44 07 Jan 22

Wow absolutely amazing dentist. I could not recommend enough. I am one of the many millions terrified of the dentist. A good friend recommended Southport road dental surgery to me. They are fabulous, David and Rashmi are the most loveliest kindest understanding couple I have ever met. My teeth look amazing, I am over the moon. Seriously I have never had any discomfort what so ever, the best dentist around. Thank you to you both and your wonderful staff exceptional x

14:52 28 Dec 21

I changed to this dentist about 3 years ago after an awful experience at a previous dentist. I searched for a dental practice that genuinely cared and found Southport Road. Hands down the best dentist around, my dentist, Rashmi is so gentle and caring - she is reassuring and talks through everything she is doing. The hygienists are great too, never experienced any pain during any treatment. I recommend to anyone and everyone.

Amy Bond

08:23 09 Dec 21

Absolutely amazing service from this practice. I was a very nervous patient and never thought I would get to the stage of being able to undergo treatment without intense anxiety. With the patience, kindness and efficiency of Rashmi and team, trips to the dentist are nothing to be afraid of and I actively look forward to the warm and caring welcome from the whole staff team. All I can say is that if you are scared and looking to reach out to a dentist, as I was, please please get in touch with Southport Road, it's one of the best decisions I have made for my health and wellbeing, both mentally and physically. Thank you!

This must be my twentieth attempt to put into words how i felt after my sessions with Rashmi.When she showed me my smile, i laughed out loud with relief and joy, purely and simply to hide the fact that i could have honestly cried tears of happiness.i have lived in dread and fear for over forty five years, thanks to a horrific experience as a young man, and actively avoided dentists until my partner persuaded me to read about Rashmi and her wonderful approach to treating patients.I'm so glad i did, she has given me back not only a reason to smile but the teeth to smile with. i don't know what i expected to see in the mirror when she handed it to me, but the results are nothing short of perfection! Absolutely stunning! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.I have never felt so relaxed and understood and very confident that i was in safe caring hands with nothing to fear.Rashmi, you are a remarkably understanding and empathetic person and you made sure i had the confidence and trust in you, long before the treatment began.Anyone who is struggling to find the strength to get treatment should be in no doubt Rashmi makes it a pain free and relaxing experience and this is a sentence i have never EVER said before............i am looking forward to seeing her again in six months, for my dental check up!!!!! WOW !!!!Thank you Rashmi.

Just visited Southport Rd Surgery again as part of my on-going treatment plan. These people are great at what they do, they put you at ease and nothing is to much trouble. I've just received fairly extensive treatment, and again with none or very little pain.I know I will be a little sore when the anaesthetic wears off but who's not.Great job.x

Absolutely brilliant! Rashmi and her team took me from being an extremely nervous patient who would not even have a scale and polish without IV sedation and fear of the needle to having 6 extractions in one go with only the needle and no sedation! I cannot recommend them enough❤️

Scott Lynch

17:20 01 Mar 21

Absolutely outstanding care from Rashmi & her excellent staff, from the reception to the nurses, as a very nervous patient I was put at ease from the minute I arrived for the consultation then on to the actual work being carried out.I felt so assured that I opted to have all the work that I required in one go, Rashmi was brilliant, and kept asking if I needed a break, I was told everything that she was doing or preparing to do.I cannot recommend Southport road dental enough, they were brilliant and I thank Rashmi & her team very much, so happy with my new smile ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would just like to say a big thank you to the team here especially Marc and his dental nurse. For somebody who is very nervous of the dentist and has put off dentist trips for a number if years, I can honestly say they have squashed my fears. Everybody is so welcoming and understanding nothing is to much trouble and they are very patient with me. Would highly recommend to anybody with fears of the dentist. Keep up the fantastic work guys, I actually look forward to getting my treatment done.Thanks Chris Baron.

How many of us can honestly say we look forward to seeing our dentist?Well.. I can!!! We have so much fun!!! Yep, you have read this correctly. We have lots of fun and laughter and never a tear shed in pain.An amazing team await you at Southport Rd, everyone person you meet there makes you feel special and “ at home”.It’s true, I was a very nervous patient the first time I attended but I have honestly never looked back. The treatment and service is beyond perfection, everyone is amazing and such genuine and lovely folk too.It’s seldom you go to the dentist and hear giggles coming from the practice but it is a regular experience at this remarkable practice. . A relaxed warming atmosphere greets you with an incredible professionalism that puts other dental practices to shame.A family run business who really care for their patients, go out of their way to help and are always there for you when you need them.I love my dentists!Lynette Banister

I would give more than 5 stars if I could!As someone with a severe dental phobia (due to a very negative childhood experience) which meant I hadn’t visited a dentist for a number of years, it took a lot for me to even take the first step and contact Southport Road. But I am SO glad I did! From the very first response from Rashmi, I felt like she understood my needs and she couldn’t do enough to make me feel relaxed and comfortable with attending. This is a place that genuinely cares about patients.All of the staff that I met were lovely and friendly. When they say that they treat everyone like they’re part of their family, it really is true! Rashmi is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and Lindsey, the dental nurse, actually gave up her lunch break so they could fit me in for an emergency appointment! She was so supportive throughout my treatment too.Basically, I have gone from feeling abject terror at even the mention of the word ‘dentist’ to having pain-free treatment on my first visit. I’m now feeling really positive about future treatments and getting a smile I can feel proud of. I never thought I’d be able to say that!If you’re very nervous/phobic like me, all I can say is contact them and you won’t regret it!

11:10 03 Dec 19

I have just had my 8 years anniversary to the practice and I can safely say it's has been a constant 8 year pain free experience, I have seen David who is by far the best dentist I have ever come across, and Rebecca as the hygienist is by far the best, I get told off as we all do, but I can't fault the service from all the staff. Highly recommended from me.

Susie Brinkworth

20:11 19 Nov 19

I decided to try this dentist on the recommendation from my partner who cannot praise them enough.After an appointment with David and hearing that I needed treatment lasting approx 2 hours, the thought of being in the chair for this length of time absolutely terrified me. After discussing my options I decided to have the treatment done under sedation.I had a meeting beforehand with Rashmi who explained the whole process in detail and assured me I wouldn’t feel a thing. Although still very nervous on the day, the 2 nurses, and Rashmi were wonderful in keeping me calm and feeling relaxed. Before I knew it, after what felt like 5 minutes in the chair, but was actually 2 hours, I was amazed to find that David had done all the work needed and I didn’t feel and barely remember anything at all.I cannot thank the team enough and would not hesitate in having this done again if needed.

17:53 07 Jul 19

I have recently had treatment for root canal work with David and the whole procedure was absolutely painless. David assured me through the whole process and the experience at the practice was outstanding with exceptional customer care and value. Many thanks to both David and Rashmi.2nd November 2017;Just wanted to post an update following on from my second visit to the dental practice. Ive always had a terrible experience when visiting the hygienist in the past and was nervous facing my 1 hour appointment. I needn't have worried, Kelly looked after me for the full hour and was very gentle but totally thorough. Kelly talked me through the process and also demonstrated how to clean my teeth more effectively. Once completed it felt like i had a brand new smile, healthy, clean and strong gums. Thank you for another quality experience at Southport Road Dental Practice. Im looking forward to my next visit.

It really is Pain Free!! I can't recommend Rashmi and her team enough. I was so nervous about visiting the dentist. I was made to feel at ease throughout and had my treatment as planned. My fear of the dentist has now reduced massively. It is all down to how well you are treated at Southport Road Dental practice. I was looked after by Lindsey prior to my treatment and afterwards. They really do care and this is what makes the difference. Thank you for looking after me. See you at my next appointment!

I am extremely nervous of the dentist, I came yesterday to have root canal and other treatments done which was a very long appointment for someone who’s scared. I decided to be sedated and the experience was brilliant ( can’t remember much) I never thought I would have a laugh in the dentist whilst having a cannula done 😵‍💫 but everything was relaxed, cate and the dental nurse ( sorry can’t remember your name) you was both brilliant with me and made me feel so comfortable. Thankyou and see you again in 5 weeks 🦷 🧚

I am extremely nervous and anxious about even stepping foot in a dentist but everyone at Southport road dental made me feel super comfortable. I chose to be sedated for my treatment and the procedure from start too end was painless and more importantly I was at ease. Can’t thank you all enough especially Rashmi and her team. Thank you all again 😊

I have a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. A friend recommended Southport Road Dental. After the initial consultation, I was given a very clear treatment plan. The dentist, Cate, has been very patient with me, she helped me to remain calm. Cate went through every procedure with me on each visit. She would check I'm ok throughout the appointment. Each dental nurse I've had in the room has been very kind and supportive. Cate's kind, calm and professional approach helped to put me at ease and trust in her. after several appointments, my oral health is now back on track and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to Cate and the team.

If you are a nervous patient, I highly recommend Southport Road Dental.

I contacted David 8 months before my wedding day, hoping he could give me straight white teeth! He did not let me down! I was in the chair having my braces fitted withing days, after our first email. I was a little nervous but David made me feel comfortable and reassured.
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 couldn't recommend them enough, I phoned up for an emergency appointment this morning as an unregistered patient and was been seen to by 10.30. Everybody was helpful, friendly and supportive after having one of my back teeth removed. Thanks guys for this morning and I'll be back for my check up soon

After years of hiding my teeth and hating myself in photos I took the plunge and went to david at southport road who really put me at ease. He gave me options, advised me on the best ways to straighten my smile and even put me at ease when I needed a small tooth extracted. One of my biggest worries!
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

Where do I start with Southport Road Dental Practice?
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!!

Best Dentist I’ve ever been to! I felt really safe as they have given me emotional support as well. I had to have an emergency tooth extraction as my whole cheek was very swollen. They really made sure that I no longer feel anything before proceeding with the procedure. I didn’t even realise that the tooth was already out. Thank you very much Marc, and his assistant. I unfortunately didn’t get her name but she was a star as well, both of them were!

I was seen as an emergency. Bad infection and tooth needed removing. It was a little tricky to remove but Richa did an amazing job, put me at ease and was really reassuring and the reatment was pain free!! 😁 Richa and the dental assistant were both lovely and understanding didn't rush and listened to any worry i had. I have now booked in with Richa as a new patient. All staff I met in the practice from reception to treatment room fantastic. Thank you Southport Road Dental.

I hadn't been anywhere near a dentist since I was forced to go as a child. I dont know how I managed to go through my 20's and 30's without problems with my teeth, they were lovely and clean with no fillings. My gums however where not doing so well, I used to spit large amounts of blood when I cleaned my teeth but just chose to ignore it.

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.

I couldn't thank David and the team enough for transforming my smile and (not to sound dramatic) but my life too! I've honestly not stopped smiling since and having straight teeth has made me feel so much more confident in myself.

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!

I cannot recommend Southport Road Dental enough, they are outstanding. Very professional, modern high quality dentistry & pain free. Met David and Rashmi about 10 years ago and they treated me then with a very personal and caring approach. David has just carried out a very complex procedure on me and I can only say my experience was definitely 5 stars. David and Rashmi in my opinion are by far the best I have come across. Also many thanks to everyone else I and my wife have seen ie Michelle (Hygienist) & all the nurses & receptionist. Thank you.

So pleased as a family we have chosen Southport Rd for all our dentistry work from regular check ups and hygienist appointments .

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 !

From start to finish David and the rest of the team have been so welcoming, helpful and professional. I was dreading my first appointment a little but I didn’t need to at all. David has done exactly what I wanted to my teeth and there was no pain at all!
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.

The whole team is focused on delivering the best client care and are extremely friendly. I actually look forward to my 6 monthly check ups and when the odd emergency happens they fit you in very quickly
Thank you David and Rashmi

Thank you so much for my new smile , highly recommended, everyone at the surgery are friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble for them, David was recommended to me by another dentist and I can totally understand why.the care, information and attention to detail while dealing with an anxious patient was perfect and I’m now a proud owner of dental implants I couldn’t be happier. I was so impressed by the surgery I asked for them to see my grandson who has never been a fan of the dentist , infact I’d actually go as far as saying he’s petrified,again I was not let down, his dentist was Mark and for a ten year old to walk out and say “grandma that dentist was really nice thank you for taking me there “was something I thought I’d never hear and means so much.
Thank-you everyone you are simply the best at what you do.

Before I met Rashmi I hadn't been to a dentist in over 4 years. Due to my strong gagging reflex and an extreme nervousness: the idea of going to a dentist was simply not something I could comprehend. However having waited in the waiting room at the surgery in the past; so knowing a bit about it and feeling relatively OK in the surgery and knowing they dealt with extremely nervous patients, I decided to give it a try. I'm really pleased that I did. The treatment I got from and continue to get from Rashmi and the entire team is simply amazing. I am still nervous but I trust her and the team implicitly. She worked with me; talked me through everything and alleviated my fears as much as she was able to; without me feeling judged. The whole team is friendly and welcoming and it is just a wonderful practice. It is not a practice that feels clinical, which to me helped enormously but at the same same the work is done to the highest level. I would highly recommend the whole team but especially Rashmi. For any patients who feel exceedingly nervous; this is without a doubt the place to go. Thank you so much to everyone at Southport Road dental practice. Xx ❤😊☺

I am very nervous about going to the dentist but I had to go as I was in pain. My husband and I did our research and Southport Road Dental scored highly on the satisfaction scale. I was helped with my anxiety and my treatment went very well. Rashmi and Lyndsay couldn't have looked after me better, they are a great team. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very patient and caring. I now feel a lot better about my teeth and my appearance in general. Keep up the great work and thank you.

I’ve never been so happy with my smile !! I had my teeth straightened, whitened and I had 2 teeth removed and felt absolutely nothing! I was so scared and nervous about having teeth removed but David make me feel so comfortable and reassured me I would be ok and I was. I can’t believe I’m saying this but if I needed another tooth taken out I wouldn’t think twice about it now ! I can’t recommend Southport road dental enough they are miracle workers I absolutely love my teeth now! All the staff are so lovely and welcoming I’ve never felt so comfortable at the dentist before. Thank you so much for everything :)

Amazing experience with Alice at the practise. After years of fearing the dentist through a negative ex perience i needed treatment and found this amazing dental practise. A massive thankyou to all there . Alice has made me confident about my smile again 😁

I am absolutely over the moon that I chose Southport Road Dentist for Root Canal and Crown. I was really nervous about having such work done as only had ever had a filling before. I needn't have worried. totally pain free, relaxed friendly atmosphere, not what I was expecting!! David was brilliant! Will be back to see Michelle too for a lovely sparkly polish!
If you are thinking of using Southport Road - think no longer - book!!

I can’t recommend David and all his team enough , they are all amazing . I’ve always been made to feel welcome and relaxed on my visits, my treatments are always explained and any questions I have are always answered, they all go above and beyond to help . Merry Christmas to you all see you in the new year .

I am always extremely impressed by the very attentive staff at Southport Road. Throughout life I have been an extremely anxious patient but at Southport Road I am always treated with the utmost care. The staff never rush me and are keen to explain and take the time needed to give me the confidence to proceed with treatment. Linzi, one of the nurses, recently assisted Alice, one of the dentist's, when I needed impressions for whitening my teeth. Thanks so much to both of them for their kindness and patience throughout. This practice is lovely, especially if you have anxiety. Believe me, Southport Road has proven that nothing has to hurt anymore!

I love visiting the hygienist as the quality of the clean is in another league.
I saw Michelle yesterday. She is lovely & so gentle. My mouth feels wonderful.
It's my little Christmas treat to myself.

David and his team are brilliant, I’ve been going to this practice for over 4 years for a range of treatments. All of the staff are happy and helpful, and so accommodating when I take my baby son with me. Would highly recommend to everyone, whether it’s for check ups, hygienist visits or cosmetic work. Keep up the good work and excellent customer service 👌

Laura Rawcliffe

13:36 11 Dec 19

I cannot recommend Southport Dental enough. I’ve had a lot of work done, including tooth removal, bone grafts and implants. Everything was explained beforehand and throughout and everybody made me feel at ease. I was very nervous when I first stared going so I was sedated for some of the work but after a few treatments I was able to have the rest of the work done without sedation. Thank you to David for his amazing work, he really is a genius! And thank you to the very kind dental nurse who held my hand when I needed it! You guys have done incredible work and made me very happy. Thank you.

My journey started over a year ago with wanting implants and being to different dentist over the years David and his team had a task on their hands ! Well what can I say, from the first initial consultation I was put at ease and given an in-depth plan. Each visit from being greeted by reception to dental nurse assistants to David himself working hard to keep me at ease to help me not just eat properly but more importantly SMILE once again with ease !
Thankyou x

My braces are due are to come off in a month, David and all his lovely staff have been amazing and my teeth are looking brilliant!! I have waited a long time to be able to have braces fitted and cant wait for them to come off, it is going to give me so much confidence! Thank you so much for everything you have all done!!

Carly Biertrix Harper

22:42 04 Nov 19

I came to Southport Road Dental because I was SO scared about visiting the dentist.
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!

Dale J Allen

09:51 04 Nov 19

Wow! I had two wisdom teeth removed and was very nervous having been told it’s a major job. Well what a load of tosh. I didn’t feel a thing and it was over quickly. The only nerves I felt were in my head, not my mouth! Totally pain free. Thanks a lot Mark and his nurse helped settle my nervousness and if anything he could of said “It’s easy mate”, because it was. Thanks a lot! ♥️👊

Adam King

23:17 01 Nov 19

Southport road dental!...wow where to start!...

Hands down you guys are ace!

Can't thank the team here at Southport rd dental practice enough, id had a really bad time loosing 3 teeth in the space of 9 months due to a difficult extraction which left me with nerve damage and in chronic pain. I'd lost all faith in dentists until I was recommended by a friend to try here, they have not only restored my mouth and given me my smile back but they have also restored my faith in dentists, they are a fabulous talented amazing team, can't thank them enough.

Elaine Gilroy

21:57 07 Oct 19

Initially I went to SRD to have my teeth straightened, I was so pleased with the results and treatment that I received that I registered myself and my husband with the practice for all of our dental care. Thanks to David I am no longer conscious about the appearance of my teeth; he has restored my smile and I am thrilled to bits. Tonight I had my first check up and hygienist appointment. I am amazed at the level of care and high standard of treatment that I received. Everything was thoroughly explained and I did not feel anything during my treatment with the hygienist. I don’t know how you do it but treatment really is pain free. I have recommended this practice to friends and family who will be getting in touch soon. Thank you so much to David and his team.
See you in 6 months 😁

Having a cleft palate and, as a result my jaws cut to bits/resectioned amongst other things, I *have* to have a good dentist. It's like the NHS handed me this £x00,000 piece of art - and I'm totally not to be trusted to look after it! I've seen David for years and every single element of my dental health is meticulously monitored and managed. But this dedication applies across the entire team - there's no panic if David isn't available, as Rashmi is perfectly happy picking up any dramas and handles them just as professionally. Supported by the amazing Reception and admin teams nothing is ever a crisis. I cannot speak highly enough of them in keeping my expensive work-of-art in top condition.

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! 💞

Absolutely brilliant . Fitted me in as an emergency when my usual dentist couldn't.
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 ,

Laura Jane Charnley

13:04 22 Jul 19

I cannot believe the difference going to this dentist has made to me, when I initially attended to discuss a possible brace i basically had a meltdown a tooth had fallen out and i just didn't know what to do i was truly unhappy with the appearance of my teeth and didn't feel that would change , I also hadn't found a dentist who I felt was really helping me ...A year later and I've just had my brace taken off and I'm a truly different person because of it. Dr David Hickey and all the amazing staff have been friendly, supportive , informative and helpful ...I wouldn't dream about going anywhere else now and recommend this practice to everyone. Thank you so much!

Briony Seddon

17:04 07 Jun 19

I can't thank David and the team enough for getting me over the fear! I had really traumatizing experiences at the dentist as a child, even being held down by one before! Which left me growing up very nervous and always anxious about having any treatment, not to mention I'm a wimp when it comes to pain, so I avoided going..
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.

I’d just like to say a massive thank you to David and the team for my new and amazing straight teeth! It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. When you have children you no longer tend to focus on yourself, they always come first but I decided that this would be the one thing I really wanted to do for me! I couldn’t be happier, they look fab and I can’t stop smiling 😁😬🤗 made up!!! Sarah xxxx

Holly Simmonds

16:21 27 Aug 18

Thank you so much to David and team for totally tranforming my teeth in less than a year. I unfortunately cracked my teeth as a child and spent all my teens hating them. The top right picture is before, then with my clear braces (which nobody could tell), after they came off and finally after composite bonding to fix the 2 front teeth. I don't normally write reviews (and they aren't the most flattering photos) but I wanted to recommend to everyone. I have referred all my friends who have asked and trust they will be delighted too! Thanks to you I've completely gained my confidence back in my smile. 😁😁😁

Southport Road Dental practice was recommended to me by a friend who had just finished her treatment. I can honestly say from start to finish the process was smooth and totally pain free. The reception team/dental nurses are a credit to the practice, they are all very polite and well mannered. I would mostly like to thank David. He is fantastic, he kept me at ease throughout the whole process and I can’t thank him and the practice team enough for keeping those dentistry anxieties at bay. Thanks again for giving me my new smile for my wedding Day in April! I highly recommend!!!

I first went to Southport Road Dental a year ago after my own NHS Dental receptionist told me I couldn't be seen about a cracked tooth one Friday morning because I wasn't in pain, but I should ring after the weekend to be triaged!
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!

Mick Ainscow

Went yesterday on an emergency appointment. Alice and Lynzi were fantastic. Very friendly and put me totally at ease. Can't thank Alice enough for freeing me from a lot of pain. I thoroughly recommend this practice ��

Kath Barton

18:09 17 Nov 17

I'm absolutely terrified of dentists. It's the only phobia at 58 years old I cannot get a grip on.
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.

Amazing treatment for a very scared 9 year old last week from Alice and all the staff at Southport Road Dental.

If your fear of visiting a dentist takes over your life. If you are too embarrassed to smile. If you are too afraid to brush your teeth in case you lose some of your teeth. If people look at the state of your mouth rather than look at you when you 'have' to talk to someone. If you fear you will get a lecture from the dentist when you've plucked up courage to think about booking an appointment. WORRY NO MORE THIS IS THE SURGERY TO GO TO ASAP. That's me above ! I wouldn't even smile on our daughter's wedding day for the photos !! I beg you to see these wonderful people. I'm NOT a family member or close family friend, I'm an extremely anxious person as far as dental treatment is concerned. 22nd July 2016 I had every tooth PAINLESSLY numbed and spent at least 45 mins in the hygienists chair listening to my music through their headphones so I couldn't hear the tools being used ! I then spent another 40 mins or so with Rashmie (David's wife) planning treatment and having rays. I didn't feel a thing - not even my nose !!! Please don't fear the dentist anymore, I'm not saying my fear has completely disappeared as I'm having 6 teeth removed this Friday and never had that under local so yes, I'm afraid of the unknown I'm only human after all, but I know for certain that every appointment after that will be a doddle (and when & if ever necessary again for whatever reason TOTALLY PAIN FREE). I know for sure that when I've paid off my bill I will get my husband off his NHS dentist's list straight to Southport Dental practice, these are the caring non judgemental people you need and want to look after your smile - if you don't have one, you will have soon, just like I will ☺

I can't recommend this dental practice highly enough. All the staff are lovely and welcoming, which immediately reduces stress levels! My dentist, Gonzalo, is absolutely fantastic- very professional, meticulous attention to detail and a warm, empathic manner. The recent extraction I had was completely pain and trauma free. After a number of unpleasant experiences at other dental practices in the area, I think I'm finally regaining my trust in the dental profession!

Danielle Eadie

18:57 14 Jul 16

As the other reviews mentioned this is a great dentist & I would definitely recommend! I'm no longer terrified of the dentist!

I have been in Show business nearly 40 years (good grief, that long !!) I sing, so need my teeth to look as good and white as possible, I have previously had two excellent dentist, one when I was young and a Harley street Specialist. I found David on the internet, and am I pleased, Over the years I have had all kinds of procedures to my teeth and gums more root canals than I have roots and Brunel would have been amazed at my bridge work. However the passage of time meant I needed major repair work done, and wow although I am still having treatment, I am totally impressed with the work done. Nothing is too much trouble and pain free is the truth. Implants, easy, no pain........and I can smile again. So if you are looking to find the perfect answer to any dental problems, look no further, you have found the best. If this sounds over the top, quite right, you will not find better. thank you, very very much.

Has to be special for me to write a review!!
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!

Pam Palmer

08:33 03 Dec 15

Can't recommend Southport Road Dental practice highly enough....Rashmi and David are a brilliant team and their patience is astonishing. From someone thoroughly traumatised following a car accident, and needing dental work, they were fantastic to me from beginning to end and I now have a lovely new crown. Doesn't perhaps sound like a 'biggie' but given my massive gag reflex, it meant the world to have the understanding and care offered by these lovely people. You have a new customer! Thanks

Janet Sawyer

17:48 19 Nov 15

Wow. Thankyou to David and his team for looking after me. A lot of hard work on both sides so i could have implants. I have got a new smile, more confidence and a new lease of life. Can't recommend highly enough. Janet

I hadnt been to the dentist for 35 years. I became determined and saw this practice on line as good for dealing with nervous patients. After the first visit as was so surprised at how lovely they all are, patient, caring and not rushed. After a couple of visits I had 2 teeth removed. Without sedation. I will be going back. They are amazing and I will continue to recommend them x

Based on 105 reviews

I attended an appointment here as an initial consultation. I have not attended a dentist for many years due to a number of reasons, mainly due to how they made me feel. When I arrived I was greeted, made to feel welcomed and most importantly listened too. There was many tears and feelings of being... overwhelmed, however, Rashmi and her team were very supportive and most of all non-judgemental.I had a few appointments to discuss my treatment plan, sedation and results that I wanted. I was sedated under the pain free dentistry which I never thought was possible, however, the team were professional throughout all the planning and I felt at ease being informed of every step of my treatment plan.I have researched dentists for a number of years, booking appointments and cancelling them , due to fear and worry. However, I took the plunge to see Rashmi and I am so happy that I did. I have been on a journey and still have a journey to go however, I would never go anywhere else for dental work. I highly recommend Southport Road Dental Practice to anyone. Even if you drop them an email or see them for an initial consultation you will feel welcomed and not judged. I have a smile I love and feel confident when talking and smiling, which has been a very long time since I felt this way!Cannot thank them enough for everything. Sasha.read more

I've been scared and avoided going to the dentist for years. Rashmi and David at Southport Rd Dental were recommended to me and I decided to take the plunge. From the moment I spoke to Rashmi, she put my mind at ease. The initial consultation was extremely calm and Rashmi was unbelievably patient... with me. Fast forward 10 months and I've had various treatments and Root Canal treatment with sedation. I've even let Rashmi file a tooth without any sedation. Rashmi really is amazing and I'm genuinely looking forward to going back for a check up and a chat. 5 stars really isn't enough!! Manda Malcolmread more

The reception staff make you feel like you are special ,how you find such lovely staff I don't know.Onto the dentists who are second to none & this includes Michelle... the hygienist such a lovely person & great at what she does.Rashmi& David are a great couple with nothing too much trouble. If you need an emergency appointment they go out of their way to fit you in. Their friendly approach immediately puts you at ease & you feel more like a friend.Everything they have done to my teeth has been first class so thankyou again can't praise you enough.read more

I was recommended this dentist practice, in particular Dr Rashmi. The whole team makes you feel at ease. Having dental anxiety this is very important for me. I opted to have dental sedation. The whole process was amazing from the pre appointments to the aftercare. The sedation itself allowed the... work to be done, and everyone's attitude helped me to remain calm. During the pre appointments, Dr Rashmi was able to get me to use different skills to get xrays that I have been unable to do previously. The sedation appointment was also fantastic. Throughout the process, the team checks on you, and nothing is too much trouble. Overall, not only has this experience allowed me to gain confidence in visiting the dentist, but given me the confidence to smile again.read more

I can’t thank the team at Southport Road Dentist enough. Every person I came into contact with, whether that be over the phone or face to face, did nothing but make the experience as easy and as comfortable as possible. I have felt unhappy about my tooth for a couple of years now. David very kindly... gave my tooth a quick polish during a consultation and was able to completely remove the staining that had been bothering me. Prior to the consultation, I was worried that I was going to have to spend a fortune and take on a big job to get my tooth looking better. I left the practice feeling confident, happy and 100% positive that I will return in the future. Thank you so much!read more

I can’t praise or thank everyone enough, from receptionists and dental nurses to the dentists themselves who provide a friendly comfortable atmosphere for even the most dental-phobic patients - of which I am one! From my first assessment appointment I was patiently listened to and my fear of... experiencing pain dealt with by providing sympathetic but professional reassurance. Being faced with the terrifying prospect of needing root canal work, Dr Rashmi took her time to explain the process to be carried out. At no point did I feel rushed into any decisions but with all the facts at my fingertips my selecting sedation whilst the work was carried out proved to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Having been afraid of dentists since a child (now 70+) I now feel I’ve found my “home” at last, where I know I’ll be taken good care of and have access to painless dentistry. Thanks Dr Rashmi and David. And it doesn’t end there - I was contacted the day after to ensure I was ok after sedation with a review examination arranged a few days later for her to ensure the work had been successful. So, if you’re nervous or have a phobic fear then you’ll be in safe hands with Southport Road Dental Practice in Chorley.read more

Outstanding—Recommended by a friend. Didn’t disappoint.Drs Chattopadhyay and Hickey provided pain free dentistry for me today.I needed a filling and some restoration work. I can genuinely say I haven’t experienced a better service. Rashmi took time to explain and deliver the numbing process,... (exceptional attention to detail). David invisibly restored one tooth and built up another.I won’t hesitate to go back in the future.read more

David listened to my worries, concerns and came up with a plan…swiftly! The full team ensure you’re kept at ease, relaxed and fully prepared for... your treatment.Thanks to David, I was able to receive the treatment required, pain free and ensured I had the long awaited smile for my wedding day!

I cannot recommend this dental practice enough and discovered it when i was researching dental sedation.I have a dental phobia and needed some treatment - from that first phone call where I was distraught just ringing for an appointment, every member of staff has been fantastic, understanding... and non judgemental.I had treatment under dental sedation and this has been a complete game changer for me. Rashmi and all the staff are so understanding and patient. They really do care and have everyone's best interests at heart.I'm still anxious, but thanks to this amazing place and caring staff - I hope to one day say 'I had a dental phobia' - not have!read more

I would highly recommend Southport Rd dental for anyone who is a nervous patient like myself. I hadn’t attended a dentist for many years due to bad experiences at other practices. I knew I needed treatment and I really wanted to address my fears so this time I did my research,I found this practice... had great reviews from nervous patients. From my first consultation with Rashmi I knew I was in good hands, it was a totally different experience than I’ve had before. Rashmi understood my concerns and we spoke about how we can work together to overcome them. I was booked in for sedation for some restorative work . I was apprehensive at first as I have had sedation at another practice that didn’t work very well. However this time the sedation worked well and I was able to have a 2 hour long treatment with no memory of it whatsoever! I now have a new found confidence that I can attend regularly, something I never thought would be possible.Everyone goes above and beyond from the reception team to the clinicians.read more

Wow were do I start, am a very nervous patient, dentist and teeth my biggest fear, hence why I would never go I haven’t been for a very long time, years and years. I felt traumatised by the thought and affected me badly. With support from family and friends I was booked an an appointment with... Rashmi, I had my consultation and I was booked in for my treatment, teeth extracted and a deep clean. I will not lie I was very scared, I mean scared. I had my treatment on Friday, I was put at ease, Rashmi is fantastic and so lovely I can’t thank her enough, Lindsey so lovely, both very understanding my fear, did a brilliant job off looking after me, I had the sedation as I was so scared and I didn’t feel any pain at all, I strongly say to others who have this same fear, if I can do it anybody can do it and I highly recommend Rashmi she will look after youread more

Welcoming, friendly, reassuring, non-judgmental & highly dedicated to their cause. If you’ve ever had negative experiences with previous dentists or are nervous at the thought of going to the dentist- rest assured that you will be in the best possible hands at Southport Road Dental. Their family... values shine through-bringing a certain calm to the waiting room. I initially went to see David for teeth straightening options but he immediately spotted I had some issues with my gums that would need to be dealt with first. That’s when I met Rashmi who unwaveringly assured me she could get my gums back to their best possible health so that I could achieve the smile that I’d hoped for, and that she did! Both David, Rashmi & their whole team are incredible at what they do. I couldn’t recommend them more.read more

At Southport Road Dental clinic I have received outstanding dental care and I rate this practice as the best there is in the area. I see Rashmi, the dentist and Rebecca, the hygienist, at regular intervals but have also seen David and once saw Marc for an emergency appointment. I am happy to... recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for high-quality dental treatment. I list below what I see as the key features of this practice and I have tried to explain the reasons for my judgement.It offers the following:• highly skilled professionals who are able to provide advanced dental procedures such as teeth straightening and implants (my husband has had a very successful implant sorted out by David);• a practice that is prepared to invest in the latest technology (I have had a crowned tooth made by 3D printing on the premises in 30 minutes rather than the traditional procedure of removal-temporary crown-final fitting);• care shown in checking ongoing dental health eg. comparison of new X-rays with old, comparison of measurements of gum-line at regular intervals etc. (eg. it was noticed that I was wearing down the surface of a crowned tooth and it was suggested that I would benefit from a dental night guard which has protected the tooth for some years now);• dentists who take time to discuss your care needs, explain the situation and possibilities for treatment and answer your questions; (I have just been concerned about a possible oral cancer which was checked by both David and Rashmi who referred me to a consultant the same day);• minimal waiting times as the staff do their best to see you at your appointment time;• excellent and friendly support staff;• a pleasant environment – all recently modernised with more rooms being built;• a practice that is open long hours to accommodate those who are working;What more can I say except that I feel fortunate that we have this facility here in Chorley.read more

I hadn’t been to the dentist for 20 years, I was so frightened, but desperate to get my smile back. I had a damaged front tooth and crooked teeth, it was easier not to smile than face my fears. Eventually, I plucked up the courage and went to see David. He was amazing, he was so calming and... supportive. He talked me through all my options and understood how scared I was, so advised me to see Rashmi. She was so kind and understood every single thing I was scared about. Between the two of them, I have gone through 18 months of treatment and finally feel confident to smile. It’s not a miracle cure, I’m still nervous, but trust them implicitly and don’t hesitate to make appointments as needed. I can’t thank them enough and can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

I’ve been a patient at Southport Road dental for many years, as have many of my family and friends. I honestly cannot thank David and Rashmi enough for the treatment myself and my family have received. I’m a very nervous patient and I always feel at ease when attending for my appointments. Both... Rashmi and Dave are caring, approachable, reassuring and explain treatment in great detail, allowing me to make the best decision for my dental care. They are fantastic dentists and it’s a practice like no other! I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone! Great dentists and great team 👍read more

I haven’t been to a dentist in years and was extremely nervous about attending. I initially had an appointment with Rashmi who was understanding, caring and thorough in her examination and explanation of what was to be expected in terms of the processes, options and costs, which immediately put me... at ease. I then proceeded to have treatment with David, who again was caring, approachable with information and the treatment. The dentists and the nurses did a superb job of making me at ease and comfortable and carrying out the work necessary, to an exemplary standard. I whole heartedly recommend Southport Road Dental.read more

I came to the Southport Road dental practice in difficulty, unable to arrange the treatment I needed elsewhere, despite seeing another dentist regularly. I was anxious, knowing that I needed a tooth to be extracted. But having had teeth taken out before, I knew it was not a procedure to look... forward to. David agreed to see me, and I can only describe the care he gave me as exceptional. He put me at ease straightaway, explained everything thoroughly and I felt no pain at any point. My experience was calm and unrushed, and David's professionalism shone through. Everyone at the practice was friendly and welcoming. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice to others.read more

A great book written by RashmiI really like this book - "P.S.I love me."It is well thought out and beautifully written, very relevant at a time when many youngsters are being led into trying, as they perceive it , to improve their appearance.There is freedom in her writing and the language is... directed to the younger generation.Her strong message is the value of self worth will override the negative peer pressure. It also expresses the importance of strong family values.The content of the book which includes poem and photographs is excellent. It has a refreshing outlook on aesthetic care.I highly recommend it to anyone considering facial rejuvenation.read more

I would highly recommend Southport Road Dental Practice for anyone who is at all nervous of the dentist. I have been registered at this practice for many years and have always been satisfied with the care and attention given to me.Recently I had problems and Rashmi told me I needed root canal... treatment followed by crowns. Being a very anxious person, the thought of undergoing such treatment terrified me.However, I needn't have worried as Rashmi discussed in details all my options and gave me time to think it through.I went ahead, opting for sedation on both appointments.What an experience - I have no memory of the procedures and suffered no pain during them.David, Rashmi and Lesley the dental nurse were wonderful! They really made me feel at ease.Thank you.read more

Rashmi and her team are amazing and I cannot recommend enough! I recently had an extraction with sedation and it was by far the best dental experience I've ever had.Due to a previous bad experience elsewhere I am a very anxious and nervous patient and just the thought of undergoing another... extraction terrified me. Rashmi took time to thoroughly discuss all my options and her reassurance provided me with confidence in my decision. Rashmi has a very patient, caring and professional manner and is very empathetic with her approach. I just knew I was in good hands.The sedation was amazing! I have no memory of the procedure and my nerves just melted away. It was a million times better than my last experience elsewhere with absolutely zero pain!!! I cannot recommend and thank enough!All the staff are really friendly and you are always greeted with a warm welcome which instantly puts you at ease.It was the best experience, I would give 10 stars if I could. So if you're considering it, just do it, you'll never look back!read more

I contacted David 8 months before my wedding day, hoping he could give me straight white teeth! He did not let me down! I was in the chair having my braces fitted withing days, after our first email. I was a little nervous but David made me feel comfortable and reassured.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!!!!read more

I'm a patient of David for over a year. I've decided to changed my smile and do braces( Im 39 year old now).Which is happened and I've been told I may need to remove a teeths maybe in a few months time. So I've been told I need to remove just one but I was so nervous for 3 weeks before my app and... my visit been booked for the 6th of January.It is pain free dentistry that's what they say ? And it is 100%true 😃 I have a chat with David before the procedures he asked me what I'm afraid etc and he told me to relax. He use a numb gel so didn't feel any discomfort of the injections and he removed my tooth within a second don't even hear a crack sound. He did make sure I've not bleed after procedure as I have a blood condition disease which been checked with my hematology doctor if is safe to do before by David.I highly recommended David as a dentist and orthodontist and looking forward to smile with confidence every day 😄Kind regards Magdalenaread more

I cannot praise this dentist practice enough. I have in the past had bad experiences from dentists and this has made me very apprehensive, to say the least, with visiting dentists. I was that worried about going to the dentist, I have suffered for years and used strong pain killers instead of... sorting the problem. Being in pain was no way to live so I decided enough was enough. My partner found Southport Road Dental for me as they advertise pain free dentistry. Given my past experiences I was very sceptical but being in pain again, I needed help. My consultation went well, everyone I met was friendly and my dentist Richa Sharma was amazing, taking time to make me feel calm and relaxed. As I had expected I required a couple of extractions and a filling which were then booked in. I must admit I didn't think I would be able to pluck up the courage to go back but I did to start my treatment. They advertise pain free dentistry and that is exactly what you get. Richa Sharma Is absolutely amazing. She has an amazing knack of being able to make you feel relaxed, explains everything and goes at a pace you are comfortable with. So far I have had one extraction and a filling and have felt nothing during the procedure. I still have more treatment and at the time of writing this, I am psyching myself up for today's visit.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.

Review for Southport Road Dental Practice - Pain free Dentistry.Conscious Sedation.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 myself. 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!read more

I have to say this has been the best experience I have had with any dentist. The calm relaxed atmosphere at the Southport Road Dental Practice made my anxiety about seeing the dentist a non issue. Everyone from the receptionists to my dentist made be feel at ease while I was attending my... appointment.Pain free dentistry is exactly what I received. The relaxation techniques my dentist used while I was being treated was something I had not received before and made the whole experience an enjoyable one.I have had the pleasure of having David and Rashmi as my treating dentists and their professional patient centred approach to my treatment was fantastic. Their educational approach to treatment has given me easy to implement skills that not only improve my oral health but my overall health as well.I will definitely be returning to Southport Road Dental Practice and have encouraged my family and friends to do the same.read more

I changed to this dentist about 3 years ago after an awful experience at a previous dentist. I searched for a dental practice that genuinely cared and found Southport Road.

The hygienists are great too, never experienced any pain during any treatment. I recommend to anyone and everyone.read more

All I can say is that if you are scared and looking to reach out to a dentist, as I was, please please get in touch with Southport Road, it's one of the best decisions I have made for my health and wellbeing, both mentally and physically.

This must be my twentieth attempt to put into words how i felt after my sessions with Rashmi.When she showed me my smile, i laughed out loud with relief and joy, purely and simply to hide the fact that i could have honestly cried tears of happiness.i have lived in dread and fear for over forty... five years, thanks to a horrific experience as a young man, and actively avoided dentists until my partner persuaded me to read about Rashmi and her wonderful approach to treating patients.I'm so glad i did, she has given me back not only a reason to smile but the teeth to smile with. i don't know what i expected to see in the mirror when she handed it to me, but the results are nothing short of perfection! Absolutely stunning! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.I have never felt so relaxed and understood and very confident that i was in safe caring hands with nothing to fear.Rashmi, you are a remarkably understanding and empathetic person and you made sure i had the confidence and trust in you, long before the treatment began.Anyone who is struggling to find the strength to get treatment should be in no doubt Rashmi makes it a pain free and relaxing experience and this is a sentence i have never EVER said before............i am looking forward to seeing her again in six months, for my dental check up!!!!! WOW !!!!Thank you Rashmi.read more

We have lots of fun and laughter and never a tear shed in pain.An amazing team await you at Southport Rd, everyone person you meet there makes you feel... special and “ at home”.It’s true, I was a very nervous patient the first time I attended but I have honestly never looked back. The treatment and service is beyond perfection, everyone is amazing and such genuine and lovely folk too.It’s seldom you go to the dentist and hear giggles coming from the practice but it is a regular experience at this remarkable practice. . A relaxed warming atmosphere greets you with an incredible professionalism that puts other dental practices to shame.A family run business who really care for their patients, go out of their way to help and are always there for you when you need them.I love my dentists!Lynette Banisterread more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could!As someone with a severe dental phobia (due to a very negative childhood experience) which meant I hadn’t visited a dentist for a number of years, it took a lot for me to even take the first step and contact Southport Road. But I am SO glad I did! From... the very first response from Rashmi, I felt like she understood my needs and she couldn’t do enough to make me feel relaxed and comfortable with attending. This is a place that genuinely cares about patients.All of the staff that I met were lovely and friendly. When they say that they treat everyone like they’re part of their family, it really is true! Rashmi is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and Lindsey, the dental nurse, actually gave up her lunch break so they could fit me in for an emergency appointment! She was so supportive throughout my treatment too.Basically, I have gone from feeling abject terror at even the mention of the word ‘dentist’ to having pain-free treatment on my first visit. I’m now feeling really positive about future treatments and getting a smile I can feel proud of. I never thought I’d be able to say that!If you’re very nervous/phobic like me, all I can say is contact them and you won’t regret it!read more

Dan S.

I decided to try this dentist on the recommendation from my partner who cannot praise them enough.After an appointment with David and hearing that I needed treatment lasting approx 2 hours, the thought of being in the chair for this length of time absolutely terrified me. After discussing my... options I decided to have the treatment done under sedation.I had a meeting beforehand with Rashmi who explained the whole process in detail and assured me I wouldn’t feel a thing. Although still very nervous on the day, the 2 nurses, and Rashmi were wonderful in keeping me calm and feeling relaxed. Before I knew it, after what felt like 5 minutes in the chair, but was actually 2 hours, I was amazed to find that David had done all the work needed and I didn’t feel and barely remember anything at all.I cannot thank the team enough and would not hesitate in having this done again if needed.read more

I have recently had treatment for root canal work with David and the whole procedure was absolutely painless. David assured me through the whole process and the experience at the practice was outstanding with exceptional customer care and value. Many thanks to both David and Rashmi.2nd November... 2017;Just wanted to post an update following on from my second visit to the dental practice. Ive always had a terrible experience when visiting the hygienist in the past and was nervous facing my 1 hour appointment. I needn't have worried, Kelly looked after me for the full hour and was very gentle but totally thorough. Kelly talked me through the process and also demonstrated how to clean my teeth more effectively. Once completed it felt like i had a brand new smile, healthy, clean and strong gums. Thank you for another quality experience at Southport Road Dental Practice. Im looking forward to my next visit.read more
