I've been with Alton Dental for 6 years now, and they are by far the best dental practice I've attended. Dr Nik, Bethan and the receptionist team (Dhev and Grace) always greet you with a friendly, welcoming smile. You are never made to feel rushed, and Nik is always willing to explain/answer any questions. I've had all my old fillings restored over the past few years, and finished off with Invisalign; best decision ever! My teeth are in the best condition they've ever been in! I no longer feel nervous before a visit to the dentist as I know I'll have the best treatment. Thoroughly recommended! Thank you!

Since childhood I have had a terrible fear of dentists and hadnt visited one for many years and only then in an emergency. I recently joined this surgery on the reccomendation of a friend and I cant begin to explain how different I now feel. The staff from the receptionists through to and especially my dentist mehab and his nurse have made me feel so at ease.I think my fear of dentists has finally gone and I feel confident about any future visits now. I just want to thank you all so much.

What can I say well Alton dental “your practice is excellent”.Your team from the receptionists, to the dentists and nurse’s etc, are always exemplary and really look after all my dentistry needs.They are professional and empathetic with great customer service.But most of all their patient interaction. skills are first class.Sukh was amazing a true credit to your practice, Tash assisted him excellently and both ladies on reception Claire and Dhevena were welcoming and professional and persevered in helping me find the dates I needed for my future visits. Thank you

I am eternally grateful to both Nik and Bethan for their care throughout 18 months of treatment culminating in the big day of dental surgery this week resulting in a very happy Rose who has her smile back again! You have been patient with me, made me feel safe and taken away the great fear that I had when we first met. I would travel the length of the UK to have my dental work done by you Nik. More to come in the future but for now I have my smile back, my confidence back and I could not recommend you and Bethan and the whole team more highly. The ladies on reception always have a smile and everyone at Alton Dental plays a part in making it such a positive experience. The trust I have in you is priceless. Thanks Rose

I have been going to this dentist for a while now. I’m such a nervous and anxious patient I hate the dentist with a passion because of past trauma from Previous dentists in the past and I will not have anyone else. Doctor Day is an excellent understanding and thoughtful Dentist one of the best I’ve ever been too. Truly she is amazing at putting me at ease and not judgemental at all. I truly appreciate how she explains everything to me step by step and stops if I need her too and praises me throughout the whole process. I had a tooth extraction done last week and it was all explained to me step by step her assistant is lovely also and I had her assistant with my previous dentist so it’s so reassuring as she knows what I was like before I used to shake with fear and sweat so much before through fear. I have had the best experience with Alton Dental. You Dr Day and your assistant are a credit to the practice. I will be forever thankful I have finally found a dentist and assistant I 1000% have trust in. I know I have still a long way to go to get my teeth at a decent standard again but I wouldn’t be able to get them sorted if it wasn’t for you both being so kind and caring and understanding. Thank you so much you put me at ease every time.

Attended dentist with a split front tooth. Dr Day was exceptional in setting out what I needed, she was very clear on work required and carried out the dentistry work without discomfort. Both Dr Day and her nurse ensured I was okay throughout the work and was not uncomfortable. Great Service provided by a brilliant dentist. Cannot recommend the whole service provided by Alton Dental enough.

I had an appointment with Nora today and, as a nervous patient, she immediately put me at ease and comforted me the entire time and explained what needed to be done. She was lovely and I will definitely be attending the dentists more regularly.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the procedure that I had. It has restored my confidence and I can now smile without feeling self-conscious. The time and money I invested in the process were entirely worth it and the final result exceeded my expectations. The dentist, Nik, and the nurse, Bethan, were both incredibly supportive, making sure that I felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. They were patient with me and made sure that I was completely satisfied with their work. They were both very caring, dedicated and professional in everything they did. I couldn't have asked for better care at every stage of the procedure.

I have been a patient of Nikal for some time and have complete trust in his work. Recently I had fairly extensive work done to replace old veneers and crowns and to enhance the aesthetics of my smile . Nik spent considerable time with me on more than one occasion to explain the process and to discuss what was important to me. This included mock ups to ensure I would be happy with the end result. Nik kept in touch throughout the whole process which was very reassuring.During the appointments I was taken care of by Nik and Bethan who were both there to support and advise me every step of the way.I am over the moon with the end result, my teeth look very natural and I am more confident. The after care I have received has been second to none. I have had follow up appointments to check on my oral health and to ensure my new smile is settling as it should.I cannot recommend team Nik and Bethan enough!

This practice provides a first class service and I am very pleased to have been able to register as a new patient here!My first appointment which occurred today, was for an initial assessment as a new patient with my newly assigned dentist Dylan. I have not looked after my teeth as well as I might have over the years, and I also smoke, so there was a lot of wear and tear to assess!I felt that Dylan made a thorough and very detailed examination of my jaw, teeth and gums. He performed the entire process with great care and I felt very comfortable throughout. Two x-rays came next, which were executed very well. Dylan was then able to explain to me the condition of my teeth and gums in a detailed and understandable way, giving me his recommendations clearly, and answering all of my questions very well.The way Dylan performed the examination, and the quality of his subsequent explanations left me feeling extremely confident in his assessment. I am very pleased I was assigned to be a patient of Dylan's when joining the practice.The entire appointment felt calm and relaxed, and there was no sensation of time pressure or rushing at any point. Dylan's manner and demeanor throughout my appointment was excellent, as was the service provided by his nurse Beth. The way I was treated on both a personal and medical level by them both was very friendly, competent and professional at all times.I would also like to mention how well the registration process was handled by the reception team. The effort which they made to call me once my registration was complete in order to arrange my first appointment as soon as possible was very much appreciated. I am grateful for their warm and efficient service.

Excellent Dentists, Nurses, Hygienists.12/09/23 Went to see Eva the Hygienist , had a thorough clean and was very pleased when i was told check up was good after putting into practice diligently my cleaning routine. Eva explained clearly results of my previous visit and the huge improvement when she checked my teeth on 12th Sept. Felt really good and great after my visit.13/10/23 took my son Alasdair 18 to see Dr Dylan. I normally have to nag him to see Dentist. Dr Dylan gave Alasdair a thorough examination, and explained clearly the extra steps my son could take to maintain his healthy teeth. Alasdair has no fillings at 18 and has managed to keep them good. Dr Dylan and Nurse Sony were very friendly . I was delighted with positive and encouraging feedback to keep up the good .Well Done to Dr Safri and his team who take excellent care of their patients. Gone are the days where I used to dread visiting the Dentist at my son's age.

I have had the most amazing life-changing procedure with Nik. It's takes me over a hour to get there but I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else now. Have never felt so at ease in the presence of a dentist, there's no rushing and I know that everything he has done has been done with the utmost care and attention. I couldn't be happier with my new smile 😁Also the lovely Bethan made the whole experience even better, so warm and friendly.A huge big thank you to you both x

I finally got the courage to have an implant! The whole procedure has been very professional. The staff are lovely, very welcoming and accommodating. Mo did my surgery, he has a very calming manner and put me at ease. Nik has done the cosmetic work, matching my implant with the rest of my teeth.It's perfect!I would highly recommend this dental practice, especially Mo and Nik.

I have been seen by Dr Kaushik for the last 9 months to get my teeth looked after - having not been to the dentist for years previously as a nervous patient. Coming here has made me lose my fear over seeing a dentist as Dr Kaushik has been brilliant throughout. And the reception team is excellent - super friendly and always helpful - I cannot recommend this practice enough. It always easy to get a suitable appointment and they really care.

Great dentists themselves but I've had to deal with a few rude and unpleasant receptionist recently. Seems like none of them can own up to anything and blamed faults of their own on me. Would be great if they could become reasonable and at least smile.

My skin has never felt better. I was so happy with my treatment which I received from Izzy at Anstey Road, she is very professional and made me feel very welcome. The treatment I received was a BioRePeel CL3, while I was there Izzy informed me of every step being done as I had never had this treatment before. The aftercare was fantastic to with Izzy checking in on me to see if I was happy with the results, which I was, my skin has never felt better, reducing my fine line and giving me glowing skin, I can't wait to have more treatment done with Izzy in the future.

Doctor Safri is simply THE BEST. Honestly, it is the best dental practice I have ever been to. All staff are nice, really professional and helpful. I had my molar removed, quick and painless. Worth the money!!!!

(writing on my husbands account)Had an appointment with Grishma today for a new crown, assisted by Sophie. Such lovely ladies, really attentive and they made the experience smooth and trouble free. The best injection (no pain) I have had in a long time. Would recommend, thanks again.

I have never looked forward to visiting a dentist, indeed it is on my list of things to avoid but having a cracked tooth the decision was taken out of my hands. My trepidation at the visit was huge, but the experience was EXCEPTIONAL. Having realised my anxiety, the dentist, Sukh Bhalla, acted with considerable care and proceeded to put me at ease. It must have been difficult but credit due to him, he persevered and explained everything that I wished to know and by the end of the appointment I felt that I had known him all my life. Going to return, that's new for me, and knowing that I am in good hands makes things a whole lot easier. Sukh is a young dentist but has the caring nature of an experienced professional.Well done to the Anstey Road dentist surgery, you have changed my perception of dentists.The whole visit was relaxed with a knowledgeable receptionist and caring dental assistant.I have no hesitation of recommending this dental surgery, they go above and beyond expectations. Professional, yes but caring, and that's what counts after all.

My two boys aged 8 and 10 and I saw Grishma Gupta for a general check up. Grishma is thorough, warm and professional wrapped up in a lovely dentist! She gave us lots of advice too which was appropriate for our different needs. We were also fortunate to have Isabel as Grishma's friendly assistant who engaged my boys in having their teeth checked and was also super lovely.

I had an hour long hygienist visit yesterday with Orla which I was dreading! It turned out to be the best hygienist appointment I've ever had! She was very gentle and the injections she gave me I hardly felt! Highly recommend this practice!

Let me start by saying that many years ago, my upper front tooth took a size 11 boot to it, which knocked it out of line and caused it to die. I also went to Uni in Scotland and subsisted almost entirely on Iron Bru, cookies and '3 for £1' gummy sweets, for several years (Honestly, No joke). My teeth were crooked, rot yellow, full of holes and my front tooth had gone a horrible dark grey colour.I was genuinely terrified at the prospect of going to see a dentist. I thought they would 'shout' at me, or laugh, or just not care. I thought it might hurt too. I'm glad to report that I couldn't have been more wrong. The staff at Alton Dental are absolutely lovely. They have always done everything possible to make me feel welcome and at ease. I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone who suffers from any kind of anxiety.I'm now roughly a year and a half into my treatment. From memory, I had to have 5 fillings, a root canal, braces on the top and bottom, retainers and whitening. I can honestly say that I have felt very little (if any) discomfort throughout my treatment. My dentist (Puru) is an absolute pro, he is a perfectionist and has done a magnificent job. I cannot thank him enough.I know a picture is worth a thousand words, and as such, I really wanted to post a 'before' and 'after' of my smile. Unfortunately, it would appear that I have not really shown my teeth in a single photograph in the past 10 years. Hopefully the 'after' will suffice. The image attached below has no filters applied!I would honestly give 6 stars if I could. A big thank you once again.
