good quality dental care in a well considered surrounding

Emmanuel was looking at making my denture to make it more comfy...the appointment wasn't about the lost crown. He spotted that and came up with another option themat Gowtham had not offered. This was frustrating and upsetting as it was quite by chance that I saw Emmanuel!

Don’t even hesitate to join them — the level of professionalism and skill at Sturminster is exceptional, and it’s incredibly rare to find that these days. Your expectations of dental care will completely change. They truly care about you and your health, not about how much money they can make. Here’s my story if you’d like to read it (it’s a long one): A few years ago, Ian removed my wisdom tooth quickly and painlessly. Afterwards, I had a few hygienist appointments and honestly, they worked miracles. My teeth had never looked or felt that clean before — and the best part was that it didn’t cost me a fortune. When I later moved to Bournemouth, I started a long and frustrating journey trying to find a practice that matched the same standard of care. I ended up registering with four different practices, each time spending money and leaving disappointed. Most recently, I had trouble with my other wisdom tooth. After paying high fees at several Bournemouth practices, I was left feeling hopeless. One hygienist even stopped cleaning after just 20 minutes — unless I agreed to pay double to have my top teeth done too! The practice quoted me a staggering £1,500, claiming that only a specialist could remove my tooth. Eventually, after months the pain returned. I gave up and returned to Sturminster to see Ian — the same dentist who treated me years ago. Ian didn’t even charge me for the initial appointment, since it was just a quick check to confirm he could remove the tooth. And of course, he could. I wasn’t surprised at his skill, only at the fact that other dentists couldn’t (or wouldn’t) help, and that they tried to charge me £500, while Ian quoted me just £122. On top of that, Sturminster Dental Practice even posted antibiotics to me in Bournemouth to help with the pain while I waited for my treatment, since they’re understandably very busy. No other practice has ever treated me with such genuine care, without judgement, and with a real willingness to help. Since I last saw them in 2022, I’ve been to at least six different dentists and hygienists — and none have come close and some didn’t even help me a little. They just wanted money. When Ian greets you, you feel as ease. Excited to be there, and look forward to your problems going away. A massive thank you to this practice!

Professional friendly good clean environment. Felt totally at ease throughout my experience.

The service. The team. The cleanliness of the whole building. I cannot fault my experience with Sturminster Dental Care. I have been using this dentist for a few years after a period of not attending the dentist. They have made the experience smooth and pain free.

Great communication. All staff so lovely make you feel part of a big family.

Until Ian became my dentist I never liked going to the dentist, he is the only one I can honestly say I have complete confidence in.
