A Personal Approach to Dentistry in Sturminster Newton

If you are looking for a dentist in Sturminster Newton who offers attentive, high-quality care in a calm and professional setting, we would be delighted to welcome you to Sturminster Dental Care.

We provide comprehensive dental care for patients across Sturminster Newton and the surrounding Dorset villages, focusing on prevention, long-term oral health and personalised treatment planning. Our approach ensures you receive dedicated time, careful attention and dentistry tailored to you.

Your First Appointment

Your first visit is designed to give you a complete understanding of your oral health.

We begin by discussing your dental history, any concerns you may have and what you would like to achieve from your care. You will also complete a detailed medical history form so we can ensure your treatment is appropriate and safe.

Your dentist will then carry out a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw and surrounding areas. Where necessary, we use digital X-rays, clinical photography and scans to build a clear and accurate picture of your dental health.

This comprehensive assessment allows us to identify issues early and provide clear, professional advice. Following your examination, we will explain our findings and, if required, create a personalised dental care plan and recall schedule suited to your needs.

Your Dental Health Assessment Will Review:

  • Signs of tartar build-up and tooth decay
  • Any chips, cracks or tooth wear
  • The health and condition of your gums
  • Existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures
  • Your bite and jaw alignment
  • Jaw clicking or discomfort
  • Signs of stress-related grinding or clenching
  • A routine oral cancer screening
  • Cosmetic or restorative treatment options, if desired

By taking this detailed approach, we ensure you have a complete understanding of your oral health and the options available to you.

I phoned Sunday and left a message explaining my problem. I had a text message on the Monday morning asking me to phone the practice. I phoned and was offered an appointment for that morning. I was thrilled!! The result of the filling on my front tooth was absolutely fantastic..I’m so very happy with the result. Thank you Dr Orman

Everything

24th June 2026

the clinicians are excellent : highly professional, careful and cheerful. As are the receptionists.

24th June 2026

Generally I would have no complaints at all as all of the staff are always so kind aand welcoming, however with my treatment this week I personally would have preferred to be told what was being done when at each stage of the treatment; all I could see was lots of different things being put in my mouth but not knowing why etc. The dentist explained what he was going to do, ie root canal however I have to admit I was a little anxious and I feel that if I was told along every step this may have eased this a little. This is why i have used the 'neither satisfied nor dissatisfied' option on the section relating to satisfaction. Other than this, no issues

20th June 2026

All the staff are polite friendly and helpful Reassuring

19th June 2026
