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.

As always, I feel relaxed as soon as I enter the building. The receptionist on duty always greets me with a smile...and any queries I have (ie future bookings etc) are dealt with immediately. This warm and relaxed atmosphere continues when Mr Makam appears. He greets me with a smile and ushers me into his treatment room with great courtesy, introducing his assistant politely to me. He listens carefully to any concerns I may have, and makes a careful examination of my teeth and gums and throat. He then advises me with smiling kindness on any future changes I myself might care to make...if I want my teeth to continue to be strong and healthy for another 70 odd years!! We laugh together and I leave, knowing I am in excellent hands. Thank you!

The whole team at SDC are super and I cannot fault them. They have always been professional, courteous and frIendly - making the whole dental experience as good as it can be. In view of the dental provision in this country at the moment, I am relieved to be on their books! Both my husband and daughter also attend SDC and are equally satisfied.

Brilliant support from Colin Orman fully explaining the required treatment correcting a previous problem. We have therefore requested a transfer to this dentist for our family. The treatment has clearly worked.

We are relatively new to this practice but very happy we chose them. As you enter, you feel that this is a quality dentist. The environment is very clean, well laid out, and lots of information to look at as you wait to be seen. I like the video screen giving you pictures and information about the team, how long they have been there, and their level of qualification. The receptionist staff are very welcoming as you come in, and they are full of advice. They really seem to know their stuff. Our initial dentist their was great, but we only saw him once as he was leaving to work nearer to home. But we have been told good things of our new one, so we will edit in a line or two about him after we have seen him. But we have to say that we are very impressed with our Hygienist Darren Hutchinson. He is very welcoming and friendly, and he really knows his stuff, leaving your teeth feeling polished and sparkling. When leaving Sturminster Dental Care after a treatment, you do feel satisfied with the work done. This is a top class practice. It is purely a private clinic, but they do offer good, affordable dental plans. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Everyone at the practice were lovely. Their whole attitude was reassuring, kind with no element of patronising or making you feel like you're a nuisance. My checkup identified fillings were needed but there was nothing said that panicked me. Since coming to Sturminster Dental Care i have calmed down with regards visiting the dentist for the first time in 50 years. Thank you guys..

As always, the service provided by the Practice was professional, friendly and caring. I was totally comfortable in trusting the Practice team with the extraction of my tooth. The procedure was stress free and virtually painless. After care to aid my recovery was fully explained to me and a week on my gum has fully healed. A big thank you to everyone.
