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.

Great staff.

20th February 2026

All excellent especially all staff. One request please; the piped music in reception was too loud, it became an irritation and annoying after a short while, please turn it down.

18th February 2026

The reception staff are all so friendly and do their best to accommodate patients.However, I feel that of late, it has become increasingly difficult to make an appointment to see the dentist as quickly as one would like to. It appears that the practice has more patients on its books than it can comfortably deal with. One expects to have to wait perhaps a couple of weeks or more, but when the next free appointment is not for longer than 8 weeks, then I think something is wrong!If the dentists were not all so good, one might consider moving elsewhere, but you know that the treatment at Sturminster Dental is very good.

17th February 2026

The efficiency and professionalism of the staff.The bright surroundings whilst waiting. Plus a good choice of reading materials.

17th February 2026

Both reception and clinical staff always friendly and helpful, clean and tidy premises, no upselling from anyone.

16th February 2026

Lovely staff and premises. Excellent service.

15th February 2026

Good service, good options

14th February 2026

Technical examinations and treatment were as I wanted and people very pleasant

12th February 2026

The Dentist and Hygenist are friendly, polite and very helpful.

12th February 2026

Ian is a wonderful dentist, so caring, kind and patient...all the nurses are also always great, unfortunately I can't remember her name but this particular lady was absolutely wonderful. Reception staff also always excellent. I arrived almost crying and left laughing and smiling, what more can I say...

12th February 2026

Extremely friendly and polite staff across the board. I'm a new nervous patient to the practice and the team put me at ease and have increased my confidence in returning.I have avoided a dentist for 5 years and was difficult to have the courage to make an appointment but the team have been great and I feel confident to return for the treatments I need. 10/10 for all team members who have made that possible for me.

9th February 2026

Everyone knew what to do and did it well.

6th February 2026

They are always gentle, caring and patient. They explain everything and allow you to ask any questions. They have never rushed me, or the appointment. They really genuinely care for me, so I assume thats how It is with everyone. I have no doubts that everyone else has a pleasant experience with them. The dentist is a really scary experience for some people. Yet, I no longer have any fears thanks to the dental care team at Sturminster Newton. I would like to mention specific people but I feel like thats unfair as everyone Ive spoken to has always been great.

I was really impressed by my dentist Mike's communication with me and explaining my treatment. It helped me to feel more relaxed, more involved and confident about my treatment. Many thanks

I’ve had a great experience here, I had some dental pain before I joined the practice which was resolved very quickly thanks to Emmanuel and Ian and the fantastic dental nurses. I would 100% recommend this practice

28th November 2025

All staff and clinicians helpful and friendly. Made to feel a valued client.

3rd November 2025

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

29th October 2025

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.

26th October 2025

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.

24th October 2025

I was seen promptly and given good care
