Jay Waller2024-02-05Reliably offers the best dentist experience I've ever experienced and seem to get better each time. Friendly, hospital front of shop staff and considerate, caring and communicative people all round. Ask for Diona the hygienist and Chris the dentist and you won't be disappointed. Wish I could give 6 stars.
Marissa Forrest2024-01-12Dr Emily Illingworth is really great at The Dentist and takes the time to fully review your x-rays and discuss your dental health. In my 4 years going to The Dentist, I’d say 90% of the time they’re running 15-20 minutes late, which can be annoying if you’re going during the working day.
Sophie Watters2024-01-05Professional, amazing and fantastic results! I would recommend to anyone looking for facial aesthetics
Shane Munro2024-01-03One of the best dental practices I've been to (Both their Balham and Putney branches). Chris and Kyla are excellent, very knowledgeable and skilled in what they do and ensure that all my queries have been answered. Appointments never feel rushed and they are very thorough in their approach. Receptionists also fantastic, friendly and efficient. - Amy in reception is also awesome too! Thank you The Dentist team. Please pass on my feedback to the team as its important its recognised the fantastic work they are doing each day for patients in, what is, a demanding industry
Alexander Therrien2023-12-22Dr Penrose was fantastic. I was very nervous and he made me feel at ease. The price was also very reasonable.
