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.

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

My wife and I visited Sturminster Dental Care today having been away from the area for some time and having had to use other dentists. The reception and treatment we received was outstanding. The reception team are kind, professional, and welcoming. Emmanuel ( our dentist) was truly exceptional, so skilled, gentle and supportive … simply second to none. Darren ( our hygienist) is equally brilliant and uses new and modern techniques which are much more effective and gentle on the gums and teeth. A really outstanding practice which we highly recommend. In addition their fees are very reasonable for the service they provide. Thank you.

I had never met the clinician before but he totally put me at ease. I was given the option of having the tooth extracted there and then or to wait for a later date.As I'm due to fly to Canada next week I opted to have treatment there and then. He was so gentle and explained each step of the process. Apart from the injection I did not feel anything - except relief when the tooth came out easily. I was given clear advice on what to do/not to do for the next 24 hours and to contact the surgery if I had any concerns. I am really grateful and pleased with the outcome ... no pun intended. :)

10th June 2026

Polite, efficient, respectful and a brilliant service

An excellent dental surgery. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Ian is an excellent dentist and Wendy is without doubt the best hygienist I have experienced. Everywhere from the moment you step in the door looks and feels clinically clean.
