Very good, friendly and made to feel welcome. Have been using Tim as my dentist for some 20 years. He is excellent and always felt the same.

Well what can I say apart from, absolutely fantastic. Nothing to fault at all. First class care with me who is extremely anxious. Always had to have teeth extractions under iv sedation. For the first time I had a wisdom tooth and molar with just tablet form relaxers. Also done an amazing job so far on restoring me grim teeth when I thought all was lost with them.

I have been coming to see Dr Amy Baers and last July started Invisalign treatment. I had always thought my teeth were far too crooked for straightening. Amy convinced me otherwise and over the course of 9 months Amy achieved incredible results. I now have the most amazing straight and white teeth. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and can now confidently smile no longer feeling embarrassed or awkward about my teeth
The whole team at the practice are lovely - helpful and friendly.

I love this dentist practice ! Tracey is the best dentist ever and Sheelam is such an amazing and caring hygienist! So glad I found this dental practice and highly recommend them to anyone who is slightly nervous or just wants their dentistry experience to be as pleasant as possible !

I've worked with the dentists, hygienists and all the supporting team at Dentistry on the Grove and I have to say they are the friendliest dentist around, maybe even business! The place they have on Southbourne grove is so special, more like a 5 star spa that a dentist. A pleasure to visit, thank you.

I had a really great experience at the dentist! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The front desk made check-in quick and easy, and the office was clean and comfortable. Sheelam was very professional, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly before starting the procedure. I felt completely at ease the entire time. She made sure I wasnt in any pain and checked in often to see how I was doing.

I really appreciated how patient and caring she was. Going to the dentist can be stressful, but this visit was smooth and surprisingly pleasant. My partner also had a service with Sheelam and had an equally positive experience. He mentioned how thorough and attentive she was, and how comfortable she made him feel throughout his appointment. We both truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness. We would definitely recommend Sheelam to anyone looking for quality care and a kind, professional dentist!

Ive had a wonderful experience at this dentist over the last few years, especially with Dr Amy Baers, who did a beautiful, natural-looking job with my composite bonding and has always been great at spotting any issues early and sorting them quickly. The whole team are lovely and always make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend!
