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.

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

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.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

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.read more

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
Karen J.
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!
Emma E.
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!
Paul B.
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
Richard K.
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!read more

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
mike W.
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
Kath A.
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
Nicola W.
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.read more

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...

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
nikita J.
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.
M B.
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
Barry S.
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
Maria B.
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
Victoria D.
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.
Jason S.
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
Pauline C.
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.
Stephen D.
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
Joanne W.
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.
jessy P.
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
Rebecca W.
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

Mick N.
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.
Jodie A.
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

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.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

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.read more

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 happierread more

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.
Phillipa Da C.
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

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.
Janet W.
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
rafal S.
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 dentistread more
Paul W.
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👍👍👍read more

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

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.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. 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.read more

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.

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

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.xread more

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❤️

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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

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.read more

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 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

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.read more

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

I first started coming to Southport Road just over a year ago. After a really helpful consultation I would go on to meet David and discuss the correct treatment suited to me. We decided that clear invisible braces on the top and bottom would be the best choice. After a year of treatment I can... safely say David and his team have been amazing. David is a real professional, up for a laugh and did a great job putting me at ease, which is pretty tough since I'm unfoundedly nervous at the dentist. I was never in doubt and general nerves aside I had complete trust and confidence in David and his assistants. From the front door the reception staff are welcoming, friendly and happy to help. The practice states itself as pain-free and flexible and it was completely true, zero pain and prepared to make arrangements around work. Southport Road really was the best fit for me. I couldn't be happier with the final results, this past year has definitely been a great confidence booster thanks to receiving brilliant service at all turns. Thanks David and all the staff!read more

I had not been happy with my teeth for years and would cover my mouth when smiling etc. but I researched David’s practice and decided to finally bite the bullet and cannot tell you how glad I am that I did!! David is really really lovely, makes you feel completely at ease with no pain whatsoever.... My appointments were always on time, we always had a laugh and I would genuinely look forward to going to the Dentist! My teeth before were awful but now they are absolutely perfect and I cannot stop smiling. My confidence has shot up and I have been, and will continue to recommend David to everybody. Do not hesitate to book an appointment, the team are lovely! Thank you so much 😊read more

The service here could not be better, truly five stars. I feel welcomed, unhurried and in safe professional hands. All of my treatments have been painless, tactful and caring - Rashmi is my dentist, and she is as gentle as a butterfly. I actually feel relaxed leaving here, even after a wisdom tooth... extraction. Hygienist service is impeccable and all of the staff show 100% commitment and knowledge re: individual personal dental hygiene from prevention to cure. Appointments are quick and accessible, and the waiting rooms thoughtfully provide a calming space to sit, but the wait is never long, they are too professional to ever leave you waiting. To sum it up, the safest hands one could ask to be in... BRILLIANT. Thank you.read more
