We are relatively new to this practice but very happy we chose them. As you enter, you feel that this is a quality dentist. The environment is very clean, well laid out, and lots of information to look at as you wait to be seen. I like the video screen giving you pictures and information about the team, how long they have been there, and their level of qualification. The receptionist staff are very welcoming as you come in, and they are full of advice. They really seem to know their stuff. Our initial dentist their was great, but we only saw him once as he was leaving to work nearer to home. But we have been told good things of our new one, so we will edit in a line or two about him after we have seen him. But we have to say that we are very impressed with our Hygienist Darren Hutchinson. He is very welcoming and friendly, and he really knows his stuff, leaving your teeth feeling polished and sparkling. When leaving Sturminster Dental Care after a treatment, you do feel satisfied with the work done. This is a top class practice. It is purely a private clinic, but they do offer good, affordable dental plans. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Everyone at the practice were lovely. Their whole attitude was reassuring, kind with no element of patronising or making you feel like you're a nuisance. My checkup identified fillings were needed but there was nothing said that panicked me. Since coming to Sturminster Dental Care i have calmed down with regards visiting the dentist for the first time in 50 years. Thank you guys..

As always, the service provided by the Practice was professional, friendly and caring. I was totally comfortable in trusting the Practice team with the extraction of my tooth. The procedure was stress free and virtually painless. After care to aid my recovery was fully explained to me and a week on my gum has fully healed. A big thank you to everyone.

I have been a patient there for a number of years and still return after having moved 32 miles away as the service has always been brilliant. My dentist, Ian, always goes above and beyond. My extraction was more complex than usual, but Ian kept me fully informed before, during and after, with good aftercare advice. I could not recommend the Practice too highly
