    Friendly Dentist and no pushing for unnecessary treatments which was a relief from my previous Dentist. Nice friendly reception staff. Generally a good practice for anxious people as many of the reviews suggest. Accommodated a downstairs room for my check up as I'm currently on crutches - side note to this is that the practice is not disability friendly aside from that 1 downstairs consultation room (all other rooms are up a steep set of stairs and I was advised there is no lift). There is no parking and very uneven paving at the front which is a hazard for anyone with mobility difficulties. Practice is on a red route and double yellows so you have to walk from a nearby road (if dropped off there is an enormous pothole which damaged the car of the person who gave me a lift who'd tried to drop me off as close as possible) and the front door is not powered - it is a very heavy fire door meaning you struggle to push or pull with a stick/crutches or if you were in a wheelchair and want to remain independent - I struggled on the way in and the way out and noone was around to ask to help as the reception is some distance from the door. Only other comment was that the treatment room door was randomly opened and propped open during my check up and this wasn't explained or warned... I presumed it was an x-ray protocol but meant the room full of waiting patients all sat there and stared at me with things sticking out of my mouth which made me feel quite uncomfortable (especially when I was already very nervous to be there in the first place!).

    Came into the Dentist to book an appointment for a check up, the receptionist said there was a slot at 3,20pm the same day, I was seen the same day and received a professional service.

    This was an appointment to check a dental abcess that turned out not to be an abcess but ulceration caused by my partial denture rubbing my gum. Dr Belim gave me good advice and told me how to treat the problem and said he would see me in a month's time. I was seen promptly and the whole experience was a pleasant one.

    Reception as friendly as usual. New crown fitted with the wonderful Anastasia. No pain. Really took her time. Chatted about what was happening and kept me calm. I seriously can’t recommend Cheaton (the boss) and his brilliant staff enough. Keep up the good work Longfellow!
