Another nervous moment... going to the dentist! Mr. Snarky was really in need of a dentist and I…read morewas convinced I had the start of a cavity. After looking online I stumbled across Cavendish Dental Care. They address nervous patients and have their prices online, so it is quite transparent. When I rang up, they were able to register me over the phone, although they do take a £40 fee to ensure that you do turn up to your consultation. She did inform me that they weren't taking NHS patients as of a couple weeks ago, but that was fine with us. We don't seem to be in any catchment area, but we need a dentist, so we registered anyway. There is a small amount of parking out front of the office, but I think the closest car park is the Rose Hill Car Park, unless you can find some parking on one of the streets nearby. They do close at lunch time so if you are trying to make an appointment or turn up a bit early for your appointment just after lunch, you'll have to wait until everyone returns. The waiting area is quite large with dental equipment for purchase behind the desk. There is a t.v. with images and ads playing... in fact some of the diagrams of various dental problems were quite interesting as I've not seen anything like that before. When I went back to meet the dentist, I was pleasantly surprised at how modern and welcoming the room was. When they recline the chair, you'll notice a t.v. above the chair that you can focus on. Although rather than a t.v. show, it just had BBC Radio 2 on. The dentist is very soft spoken and very gentle. While I didn't feel pressured at all, I can already tell that they are suggesting services and as we have registered as private patients... it will probably cost a pretty penny. For example, I still have a baby tooth, but there is no adult tooth to replace it. As a result, my previous dentists have advised me to take care of it and said with care it will probably last for a long time. At this appointment they were already talking about implants for it, but apparently it still looks healthy and there is no movement... However, as long as there is no pressure into services that aren't needed immediately, then we will get on just fine.

I've attended this dental surgery for 12 years and during that time seen around five different…read moredentists all of which have been of a very high standard. For about the past 6 years I have had the good fortune to be attended to by an excellent lady dentist who is both professional and friendly and who is particularly good with children. The lady on reception has worked there since before I first attended and she too has a extremely friendly and professional manner. Anyone who feels afraid of seeing a dentist should definately try this practice as they are unlikely to find anywhere else with such a reassuring approach

I was torn between giving this place three or four stars, so here's a helpful list of points that…read moreyou can digest with a quickness: GREAT! - You get free text alerts to your phone to remind you of your appoinment. Handy when you've totally forgotten your 6-month checkup. - Every (regular) dentist I've had has been really friendly and cool, especially Dr. Gurvinder Thiara. - They offer NHS and private treatments, and you can switch between which you prefer. - I got an appointment for doing one of my fillings the very next day, made by the dentist himself. BLAH: - My last appointment was cancelled and rescheduled FOUR TIMES. - I've overheard the receptionists screeching about how much they hate their kids and how badly they want to get drunk on a Tuesday night. To be fair, the rescheduling was due to the dentist's illness, but the reception staff could really do with a half-day of lessons in appropriate topics of conversation in the workplace. It's worth noting that, at the time of writing (May 2010) they are not accepting NHS patients until next year.

This is my Dentist and I cant recommend them enough. I am quite a nervous patient but my dentist…read morealways puts me at ease. The surgery is clean and bright and the staff are friendly and fantastic with children. I have been seen quickly in an emergency and have never had to wait long for a routine appointment.

I have been very satisfied with the treatments offered, he takes his time to thoroughly explain what is required and the cost of materials, lab work, etc. The staff are all great with kids too. I would definitely recommend this dentist.

This is a great little dentist. From the outside the place…read morelooks more like a house but once you get inside you get a whiff of that typical dentist smell lol. Once you go to the reception to check in, you get the smilling, pleasant staff greet you and deal with you accordingly. The waiting room well sized although if you go in there, be warned of the arkward silence that must be maintained at all times. There are the old, old magazines there to help you through that. Mr & Mrs Norris, both the dentists work here are incredibly nice and are great dentists to make everything as painless as possible. I would recomend it too all, although like all dentists when you go up for a check up, you get a 5 mins check and everything is fine like always.

This is what I also wrote on the nhs website: I've arranged a visit in this practice for my mum who…read morehad little luck with dentists so far and hence little faith; having read reviews this place was my last hope that she gets her teeth done professionally, even if that means a bit of a (actually long) travel- and we weren't let down! I've never experienced or heard of such an extensive consultation as the one that my mum was given in the first appointment- the dentist not only cares about dental decay and obvious problems in the mouth but also asks if patients are happy with their smile, whether they suffer from headaches (and whether they could be linked to teeth problems), gave lots of explanations none of which was rushed (so unlike everything she experienced!)! She was then sent a report that listed all her options such that she could freely make up her mind, lots of brochures, and was told she could call any time if she had a question on any of those - wow. I was similarly impressed when she came back to do the treatment- Eamonn and Isabella have a great synergy and while being efficient they were never short of extra explanations or making her comfortable (btw, have you ever been given sunglasses at the dentist so you're not disturbed by the bright light? standard in this practice, havent seen that before). Eamonn made adjustments to the denture as long as it was necessary to fit well. If you are looking for a dentist that takes your well-being serious and does not just look at you like you were a money bag (sadly, both my mum and myself had that with other dental practices), then go here and search no more. Compliments also to the rest of the practice team, each of them is friendly and treated us well.
