Ian Mercer is a likeable pleasant person and explains what is going to happen during any procedure

Helen the dental hygienist is a lovely lady and very very good at her job. She always introduces me to the nurse and does her best to make me feel comfortable and always advises me of what she is going to do. Helen really encouraged me to give up smoking. With her gently persuasive approach. She also advises me on how to clean my teeth better. Thank you Helen for your service. Keep doing what you do.

I am delighted to find an implantologist near to where I live as my existing implantologist (at Bath) is retiring. AJ at Sturminster Newton is excellent and I will be booking regular yearly check ups with him. He explained and discussed my existing problem and rectified this at the time of my initial appointment.After my next hygienist appointment at my existing clinic (which is already booked) I will also move this to the Sturminster Dental Care. I will then have AJ (the implantologist) and hygienist under one roof. The staff are excellent, most helpful and friendly. Overall a great experience.

Nicky was very friendly and I felt very well looked after by Colin

First class all round as usual.

19th May 2026

I am completing this survey based on my appointment with the hygienist, which is and always is with Helen, my regular hygienist - excellent.

18th May 2026

A nearly 10% increase in price from 6 months' ago is a bit steep so we'll most likely stretch the time between appointments as long as our teeth are in good health. But Ian is a great, kind and considerate dentist who epitomises what being a good clinician is all about. Finding an NHS dentist in this area is also a reason for staying!
