Looking for a dentist near you? Welcome to Sturminster Dental Care

Serving patients throughout Sturminster Newton

At your first appointment with Sturminster Dental Care you’ll receive a full dental health assessment. We like to find out as much as we can about you and your previous dental care. That way, we can offer you the best possible service and expertise.

During a thorough examination using photographs, x-rays and scans your dentist will check the health of your head, neck and inside your mouth. This will provide you with a complete understanding of the health of your mouth and teeth and allows us to recommend a personal dental health plan and recall routines best suited to your individual needs.

Before we begin, you’ll need to complete a medical history to ensure we can also fully cater to your medical needs.

Your dental health assessment will review:

  • Signs of tartar build up and decay
  • Identify any chips and cracks
  • Health of gums
  • Condition and functionality of any existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures
  • Identify any concerns with your bite
  • Jaw alignment and clicking
  • Signs of stress and teeth grinding
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Cosmetic restoration options

Our dentists are committed to providing you with high-quality dental care, using the latest equipment, materials, procedures, techniques and expert advice to offer you a complete insight into your dental health.

If you would like to book a dental health assessment with Sturminster Dental Care or to find out more about what we could do for you, please give our team a call on 01258 473397.

Gowtham explained all options available to me and the cost, and was very thorough as usual.Ancillary staff always helpful and knowledgeable

From reception to the dental nurses/ hygiene and dentists, you are made to feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you enter the premises. I have not been to a dentist in 36 years. Incredibly apprehensive. But after a year of treatment and education, my confidence has been restored, and I can smile at anyone that I meet.

It is very reassuring to have such a brilliant dentist and team. I have been having a particularly distressing problem with my teeth following sepsis and I county myself as very lucky to be able to trust that I am getting the best care possible.

I was seen promptly and given good care

I am unable to find one thing wrong with the practice. I have been a patient for several years and am completely happy with my dentist and hygeniest and all of the reception staff who are delightful, knowledgeable and helpful.

Friendly and cared about my needs and treatment, uses humour to relax me!

22nd October 2025

After moving to the area, I needed to find a new dental practice. I had been with my last practice since childhood, so a big move! Sturminster have provided a very good level of care, with questions re the rational for a treatment schedule explained well, leaving me able to make good, informed choices re how I wish to proceed and advice given to make theses choices confidently. As a retired person, dental care is a big expense, but I have no doubt that working with Sturminster I will continue to be able to make choices based on their excellent care.
