NHS Dentist

I’ve lived in a number of countries, I’ve been to a number of dentists, this is the best dental practice I have ever attended. It starts with the reception staff — all friendly, all competent. The head receptionist is one of the most decent, hard working, competent folks I’ve ever encountered in medicine. The Emergency Service is amazing: same day. Try that in other parts of the UK or with other practices. The dentists I’ve been with there all go the extra mile to save your teeth, make the final result presentable and comfortable, they do it right. I come from West Yorkshire usually for my treatment. Well worth the travel. They are that good. Forget the private /​NHS delineation: I’ve been to both types in my life, there is no finer practice in the UK than this one. Period.

I travel across town to see my dentist here. They run a very professional, friendly and efficient business. Can’t believe it’s the NHS!
And, to all the Americans, they know how to properly clean teeth here, too!

This Dentists is great!
They have a BDA good practice mark which is why I chose them from the British Dental Association website. They are one of only 8 in Hammersmith and Fulham (2012) with this award.
There are 15 Dental Practitioners and mine spent 2.5 hours rescuing a tooth that normally would have had to be pulled out. OK my jaw hurt at the end but I had my tooth and I had agreed to the length of treatment!
It is all on the NHS and I have seen their head, Mr H Overgaard-​Neilsen, on the TV News sticking up for the NHS.
They are quite strict, you have to follow their treatment advice or else! They have 72,000 patients I believe, so be helpful and be on time!
There are lots of free leaflets telling you about different dental conditions which help. They are friendly. Although under the pressure of a busy practice they will take time to answer your questions, even if they are running a bit late.

Hailing from a land where re-​mortgaging your hovel is required to get a normal consultation with a dentist, the NHS has proved something of a revelation to me. And nowhere has evinced the benefits of a high-​tax society more than this dentists on Earl’s Court’s rather down-​at-​heel North End Road. I paid nothing for my first consultation and then only £15 for an operation on two of my molars. £15! I couldn’t believe it. Service was friendly, both from the young and chatty dentist himself and from the receptionist who rang me on the morning of my appointments to remind me. Excellent all round.
