Had my 1st consultation for root canal yesterday, Dave is such a fountain of knowledge, l have a serious phobia to dentists, l have never felt so reassured. Looking forward to my root canal procedure with great enthusiasm, then hopefully implants. Way overdue should have attended sooner! Not forgetting the lovely nurses and reception staff!

Given how my mouth looked before and after the results speak for themselves. David and his team did a brilliant job with inside braces top and bottom (that was my preferred treatment due to my job). Now I only wear retainers overnight and feel it was well worth going through the process. For anybody wanting straighter teeth and a winning smile highly recommend Southport Road Dental
Ebony Grady
I cannot recommend Dave highly enough! I have been a patient of his for around 8 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dental care. Not only is Dave incredibly skilled and professional, but he is also one of the friendliest and most welcoming dentists you could hope to meet — he puts you at ease from the moment you walk through the door.Recently, I chose to have my teeth straightened with clear brackets, alongside whitening. Dave took the time to talk me through a range of different treatment options in detail, helping me choose the plan that was right for me. He also advised that having two teeth removed would give me the best possible results — something I was initially a little apprehensive about, but Dave explained everything so clearly and made me feel completely reassured.Throughout the treatment, both Dave and his amazing reception team were always so accommodating — fitting me in last minute whenever I needed a bracket fixed or had any concerns. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt completely looked after.If you’re looking for a fantastic dentist who truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond, look no further than Dave. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new smile and so grateful for all his help!

I highly recommend this dental surgery, I was a shaking nervous mess, and Dr Rashmi and her husband Dr David made me feel so special, calmed me in their professional and very calming manner, I had X-rays, exams, dental treatment and I was worried I would never smile confidently again after a sudden tooth loss. Well.. I’m smiling now and am so grateful for their care and attention to detail. They and their team went above and beyond, I feel so looked after and it made a very upsetting experience so much easier.For me , I had to have the conscious sedation, it was explained to me in great detail, multiple times, it was just an option, not obligatory, but I knew I needed it and I was right. I felt no pain, and felt so safe, it’s changed dentistry for me, I am no longer afraid and am very proud of myself 🥰 xx

I have David as my dentist Any time I have had a problem, he has gone above and beyond to help me out …. Not a big fan of Dentist But they are very reassuring and good at there job would highly recommend to anyone
Kelly Singleton
I registered with the practice 2 years ago and have only positive experiences to report. While standard procedures such as checkups, fillings and hygiene appointments have been great, my experience in tooth alignment was exceptional. Marc was fantastic from my first consultation to each and every appointment and query since then. The alignment, whitening and cosmetic tweaks resulted in a perfect job overall. He is patient, helpful and a perfectionist. As a perfectionist myself I appreciate that last part!The team is welcoming, professional and super helpful. Thank you for giving me my smile back!
Anne Parry
When I first visited Southport Road Dental Surgery two and a half years ago, I was terrified, and hadn't seen a dentist for decades. It was such a relief to meet Rashmi, who didn't judge, but discussed my fear with kindness, patience and empathy. Because of that, I agreed to have my mouth checked and x-rays taken that day! Rashmi took a lot of time ensuring I was happy with every move. I needed a lot of treatment and, with sedation a week later, I didn't remember any of it.Later on, I had my teeth straightened and some veneers applied where my teeth didn't look good. This took many visits to David over a period of 18 months. I was really frightened to begin with, but it helped that David explained every part of the treatment beforehand, and he made me laugh. He was very careful to ensure I felt OK with everything and that there was no pain.I can honestly say that I have no fear of going to the dentist now. Everyone at Southport Road - the reception staff, the dental nurses, Rashmi, David and Marc - has been brilliant. They gave me a smile and I am so grateful to them all for looking after me so well. I can't recommend them enough!
Rachel
Such an amazing team! I called in with pain needing an extraction and they were able to fit me in within 24 hours, As an anxious person I find it hard to be in medical practices due to thoughts of being judged however everyone here is lovely and judgement free and very empathetic to my situation. The extraction went very smoothly and painless considering that I thought my case would be more complicated, you can really tell everyone does an outstanding job and really cares about the quality of care to their clients.Thank you so much again!!

5 Stars – A Truly Outstanding ExperienceI’ve been a patient at Southport Road Dentist for many years and have always received excellent care. However, over time, I fell out of the habit of going regularly due to various personal reasons, and as a result, the thought of returning became quite daunting—mainly because of my own anxiety.Eventually, I developed a decaying back tooth and had no choice but to make an appointment. I booked in with Richa—and I’m so glad I did. She’s an absolutely fantastic dentist.From the start, she proposed a clear and reassuring three-stage plan: first, to treat the decaying tooth, followed by a visit to the hygienist, and then a longer-term care plan to address other areas. Her approach immediately put me at ease.Yesterday, I had an old crown replaced—and I cannot express how amazing the experience was. The old crown was gently removed, all the surrounding adhesion carefully cleaned, and then a cutting-edge 3D image of my entire mouth was taken. Incredibly, a brand new crown was printed in the surgery in real time and fitted perfectly—all in a single session. It honestly blew my mind.Throughout the entire process, Richa was kind, gentle, and completely transparent—explaining every step so I was never left anxious or unsure. There was no sudden prod or unexpected drill; everything was communicated clearly and calmly. It made such a difference.I know I’ve gone on a bit here, but I’m genuinely so happy. Dentistry can be expensive, but today you could clearly see where the experience, training, equipment, and investment have gone to make the patient experience as exceptional as it was.Thank you so much, Richa and team—I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment!
Sara Derbyshire
Always an amazing and pain free experience at Southport Road Dental. I am never scared of going to the dentist now due to David's phenomenal expertise! 🙌🏾

just one word for southport road Dental (EXCELLENT)
Gaynor Stones
The first time I met Richa, she was excetionally understanding and empathetic regarding my fear of the dentist chair! Richa immediately put me at ease with her calm, happy, friendly and chatty demeanour, to the point I forgot I was talking to a dentist :)Since that first meeting, on every subsequent visit Richa has talked and reassured me through every single part of any procedure, thus keeping me informed, but moreso very calm! I trust Richa implicitly and feel reassured that with her caring for my teeth I can feel relaxed knowing I am in very capable, caring and professional hands. Richa recently did a very tricky root canal for me and I am forever in her debt that she saved a tooth I really thought I was going to lose; added to this, I never felt a twinge of pain! :)Thank you Richa, you are a very lovely and talented densist X
Brian Rutherford
Went for my 6 monthly check-up.Saw Sarah the hygienist, everything was fine with my teeth and had a scale and polish.Then saw my dentist Rashmi, again had my check-up examination, all was well, no treatment required, all pain free....
Henry Farley
Quick, friendly and efficient support to dental issues, including maintenance of healthy gums.

Been at this practice 35 years, I won’t go anywhere else. The staff are amazing, professional and treat patients with total respect. I even look forward to seeing them
Christine Fletcher
As ever, the team resolved a tricky situation with prompt efficiency, thank you Southport Road Dental, I highly recommend.
Andrew Gregory
David and the entire team are brilliant, professional and at the same time, completely put you at ease.

Very happy with the service from Southport Road for dental work
Margaret Cain

cameron lunt (Calmo)
excellent service by friendly professional staff, not just the dentist reception as well. No pressure to go one way or another on possible treatments for my damaged tooth just precise information and pros and cons for every angle .Thanks to the team
Deb Mcilhagga
A huge thank you to Rashmi and her team for looking after me during my recent treatment.They were extremely professional and caring.I would 100% recommend this dental practice
David Bat
10/10 service. Thankyou 😀
Paul Smith
I carried out some extensive research about this dental practice and especially regarding the ‘Pain Free’ element as I have always suffered with pain when having any dental work done. First met Kate at my initial appointment and then I was introduced to David as I was looking to have either implants fitted or dentures due to my bridges and crowns failing after 35yrs or so after a road accident. David and his team reassured me and talked me through the various options and time scales and costs and especially the ‘pain free’ element. I started my treatment back in Feb 2024 to have my left side teeth removed and implants fitted and during the course of the year following on with my right side being also done, finishing in December 2024. I cannot thank David and his team enough for his care and expertise in carrying out my dental work and I can honestly say that it was ‘Pain Free!’I cannot recommend this dental practice enough and if I could rate them 10 stars I would.
Ola Rainford
Excellent dentistry, very professional, great attention to detail & advice & excellent after care. Would highly recommend.
Nicola Mccann
I was never the best when it came to visiting the dentist that was until I discovered David and his team. Can’t thank them enough, friendly, professional and always a first class service . Wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else ! Thank you for your patience and restoring my faith that going to the dentist doesn’t have to be pure dread.
James B
I had given up hope of having my teeth fixed. I thought I'd never have a smile again. I couldn't go to a normal dentist because of my anxiety issues and even normal sedation would be difficult. I found these guys by accident and decided to give it a shot and they have changed my life. They understood my problem and went above and beyond to find a way to help me. Now I can smile, I have healthy teeth again and can see a future.I cannot thank these people enough and I highly recommend anyone with anxiety problems to get in touch with them.
Madison Jade Dickinson
I am an anxious person in general, so when it came to needing dental surgery, I was very reluctant to go through with it. Rashmi was incredible at calming me down and making sure I felt comfortable and completely in control. Then David performed the surgery, and it was so quick and painless. The slogan 'Pain-Free Dental' perfectly sums up this dentist practice. I highly recommend them to both nervous and non-nervous patients, as this dental practice is incredible—it will be my main dentist going forward. Thank you so much, Rashmi and David. I truly appreciate you both!
Yvonne Seaman
I have always been afraid of the dentist until joining southport road dentist they are so nice and friendly and professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Hazel Derbyshire
I would like to recommend Southport road dental to anyone who is putting off going to the dentist, who is nervous, frightened or anxious, as I was. I had treatment 48 hours ago and am Soo happy with how I am feeling, the result is amazing. The pain minimal. All the staff are lovely, I was treated professionally and with empathy. Everything was explained before hand. I did not think I would ever get over my dread of the dentist. Thank you Soo much to all the team. Hazel Derbyshire
Angela Exley
I cannot thank Rashmi enough for her patience, kindness and understanding of very nervous patients. My first consultation was in January and I have just had my check up today after having four wisdom teeth extracted and my gums laser deep cleaned. The experience was so positive due to the sedation, in fact I cannot remember anything after sitting in the chair! I cannot believe how far I have come this year and this is all down to Rashmi and her team.
Lisa Pye
I want to say thank you for your wonderful treatment of my 13yr old daughter when injecting her with the anaesthetic for her recent teeth extractions. You were extremely calm and provided a lovely relaxing experience for her. Even though she never mentioned it, I think she was a bit nervous. Would you also thank Jen, the dentist who removed the teeth and filled the cavity, she was also very caring and professional. Thank you for both for making what could be quite a daunting experience relaxing and positive.
Helen Cross
I cannot praise this Dental Practice enough, especially Dentists David and Rashmi.I was an extremely nervous patient but I was treated with compassion and exceptional care making a very daunting procedure totally bearable.The encouragement and support I received from in Rashmi was truly commendable.I also received a courtesy call following my procedure to check all was well.All Staff at this Practice deliver exceptional care and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.Many thanks to you all
Dan Swanton
I have been visiting Southport Road Dentist for 10 years now, it's by far the best dentist around David my dentist is a top guy who cares about every aspect of your wellbeing not just your teeth we have a great laugh when i go on appointments, also big shout out to Rebecca my hygienist I wouldn't ever see anyone else Rebecca is amazing and does an amazing job everything and enjoys a laugh overall Southport Road is a 10 out of 10 for me i couldn't recommend them highly enough thanks Southport Road.
Nigel Deane
Excellent dental practice. Made to feel at ease whatever the issues are. Where treatment is needed a full and detailed explanation is given with pros and cons to help with decisions. Regular visits to hygienist is also recommended so you have the best chance of keeping your teeth healthy.
Jeff Charnock
Dave Hicky is very pleasant/friendly and professional. Provided 5 star service and I got in my appointment on time . I would highly , highly recommend his practice!
John Nightingale
David has provided excellent service with all of my dentistry needs, from inplants and veneers to routine checkups. They are attentive to the patients needs and caring throughout . Would thoroughly recommend for anybody looking for a excellent dentist.
Sasha Bolton
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.
Manda Malcolm
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
Jodie
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.
Mayomi Gunasekara
Highly recommended Southport Road Dental. Special thanks to Dr Rashmi and her staff. She was amazing from start to finish. It was professional and pain free manner. Excellent service. Thank you
Izzi Wilkinson
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!
Sheila Varden
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.
Dawn Parkinson
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.
Valerie Collinson
Fantastic service, all treatment well explained. Very nervous patient but received excellent care and sedation prior to surgery.
sophie H
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.
danielle smethurst
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!
Jon Lau
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.
Veronica Norris
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.
Karen Johnson
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
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
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!
mike wilkinson
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
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
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.
Small Gordy
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
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
Barry Smith
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
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
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
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.
Pauline Critchley
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.
Stephen Doyle
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
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
jessy pinkle
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
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
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

Jodie Ackers
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
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
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
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

Peter Coulier

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
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
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

Rashmi and the team are amazing, looked after my very nervous other half perfectly, thank you all
“I was in no pain and truly it was amazing, no needles”
I’m a confident career driven individual who is in total control of my life but when it comes to the dentist I’m a gibbering mess! However, this has changed over the last year.
I put off getting a tooth looked at for years as a dentist said I needed a root canal and I’d heard so many horrible stories about root canals. Unfortunately in January 2015 I had no choice as I was in agony with the tooth! I rang around to see if I could find a dental surgery that understood my fears about attending the dentist. I was immediately put at ease on the phone and a few days later visited David Hickey at Southport Road Dental surgery.
The first thing that impressed me were the lovely ladies on reception who greeted me by my first name, which really was welcoming as I was so nervous and in agony. When David first met me I was like a rabbit in headlights (his words! which he joked with me recently about). I was so scared that David’s first recommendation was for me to go to a surgery in Manchester that specialised in sedation! After spending a bit of time talking with David and one of the nurses I decided to put my faith in David and not go to Manchester.
I’m so glad I did. It took three visits to complete the root canal but David and the nurses were brilliant, even when I broke down after my second visit. This was due to the fact that David decided to stop as I was getting distressed and I had hoped that the second visit would be my last. However, by the third visit it was all done.
Each visit David ensured I was in no pain and truly it was amazing, no needles just what I call a “magic wand”.
I would also like to mention Rebecca the Hygienist who I have been visiting every 3 months for the past year. Rebecca also makes me feel so comfortable and at ease.
It is now March 2016 and I visited David to have a Crown over the tooth that I had the root canal treatment on. Although I still get a little apprehensive I always know that David is aware of my nerves but now there is room for a little joking, hence David sharing with me that I was like a rabbit in headlights when he first met me!
I would highly recommend anyone who is nervous or even petrified to visit David and his team of lovely nurses and receptionists.
I’d like to say a big massive thank you to you all.

“Pain-free service with a smile”
After seeing their advert on the internet, I decided to call into the Southport Road dental practice on 11 August to enquire about dental implants, and I am very glad that I did so. After a warm welcome by the reception staff, I was given a free consultation by the very helpful Claire, who explained the process stages and answered the many questions I had about implant procedures, costs, etc.
I wanted to know more about the medical side of the procedure, which required the extraction of two teeth, and later that day I had a free consultation and X-rays with Dr David Hickey, who has the nicest ‘bedside manner’ of all the medical professionals that I have ever met – and I’ve met many. He explained the options to me and gave me an ‘all-in’ fixed price. He didn’t try to pressurise me into having the procedure done, or use any scare-mongering tactics.
I was told that if I decided to go ahead, I would need a CT scan to determine if there was enough bone present. Two days later I had the CT scan and on 18 August I had the implant procedure at the Southport Road practice. All within one week!
I was given a small injection in my arm, which I could hardly feel, to sedate me, and I was awake for the whole procedure, which took about an hour. I had two teeth extracted and two implants inserted, and the amazing thing is that although I remember being instructed a few times to open my mouth, I cannot recall anything else, including having the two teeth extracted or having the implants inserted, no matter how hard I try. I was not aware of any pain whatsoever throughout the entire procedure. I had no pain after the operation – just a little tenderness in my mouth which disappeared after two days.
I’ve not had the ‘teeth’ fitted to the implants yet – this takes place once the implants have settled into the jawbone, so I’m look forward to the end product.
Pain-free, and service with a smile! Thoroughly recommended.

“Certainly pain free”
I have just had a dental implant and what a difference it has made to me, I couldn’t stop smiling, something i was very conscious of before the procedure.
David was very good he made me feel at ease from the very start he explain the procedure in detail and nothing was too much trouble, I was very nervous and anxious but this soon disappeared and every question was answered.
The procedure was certainly pain free and i would recommend the practice to anyone especially if you suffer from anxiety as I did, a big WELL DONE to David and all his team !!!! Thank you
—Mrs Linda Jones Armstrong, Standish
“A painless experience”
I had the gaps in my bottom row of teeth closed, which I was previously very embarrassed about, this was a painless experience and one that I would recommend. It was well worth the time and patience that David provided really put me at ease.
—Mrs Irene Jackson, Chorley
“An excellent, professional service”
My teeth were damaged during and operation leaving me unable to eat and enjoy food. I also lacked the confidence to smile.
I contacted Southport Road Dental Practice and all of the team from reception, the dental nurses, hygienist and Mr Brierley provide an excellent, professional service in a caring and thoughtful environment.
The staff also dealt with my mobility difficulties, putting me at ease. No problem presented any difficulty.
The Southport Road Dental Practice team prioritise the importance of the patient always being comfortable and at ease. Now I can eat and enjoy food and smile with confidence again!
— Miss R Goodman, Chorley
“No pain!”
I recently had three fillings in my upper jaw and felt no pain whatsoever. David Hickey is undoubtedly the best dental surgeon I have experienced.
I would definitely recommend this dental practice
—Mr M Gibbs, Chorley
“They put you at ease”
As a nervous patient I feel at ease when at Southport Road Dental Practice. The staff are friendly and very welcoming and they put you at ease. I don’t trust anyone one else with my teeth.
—Miss Sarah Sutcliffe, Chorley
“A painless experience”
I had the gaps in my bottom row of teeth closed, which I was previously very embarrassed about. This was a painless experience and one I would recommend. David provided me with time and patience to complete the treatment and put me at ease.

“Excellent at doing what they do”
I recently needed dental treatment for the first time in 25 years and was terrified by the thought of visiting the dentist. David Hickey and his team were excellent at doing what they do, and the treatment was, as promised, pain-free. I would thoroughly recommend them.
—Mrs Roshani Swift, Blackburn
“I cannot recommend this practice highly enough”
I am ashamed to admit that due to a totally unfounded fear, I had not been to the dentist for nearly 25 years.
I was persuaded to visit Mr Brierley, by my children who have been his patients since they were 6 months old and love coming to see him.
Because of the understanding, patience and support afforded me by both Mr Brierly and all of the staff at the practice, I have gone from being completely petrified of having a check-up to having voluntary cosmetic procedures!
I have visited Mr Brierly & Mr Hickey, as well as Rebecca Winstanley and can say with complete honesty that I feel totally at ease with them all.
I cannot recommend this practice highly enough, especially for anyone who feels anxious or unsure about what to expect, thank you.

“I felt no pain at all during my treatment”
Today I had 3 fillings – for me quite extensive treatment! I have attended the dentist regularly for a number of years because I feel it is important to my general health, particularly attending for hygienist appointments. I felt no pain at all during my treatment and had each stage of treatment fully explained to me.
The atmosphere was friendly, reassuring and relaxed. Importantly, I was asked to contact the dentist if I had any problems after the treatment. I have been able to recommend this practice for many years and feel fully confident in the new set-up. Many Thanks to all the staff.
