What patients had to say about our emergency dentists:

“I had a dental emergency. Dorset Dental Clinic dealt with my immediate issue swiftly and is planning a long-term treatment. All the staff I met were friendly and patient-focused. I can’t recommend it highly enough.” Frank, Poole

“Wow, what an amazing experience. I’m so nervous about the dentist and had put off going until it got to the point I couldn’t. I found this dental practice by chance as I rang around on a Saturday for an emergency appointment, and I’m so glad I came across them. Kayleigh, Phillip, Karima, and all the other nurses there were lovely and talked me through everything. The hygienist cleans with the best of the tools they use. It was the most painless I’ve ever had…and they had a lot to clean after 3 years of putting off the dentist. My teeth look amazing after 1 treatment. Also, the decor there is lovely and welcoming. Looking forward to going back and getting my teeth back in top condition with them.” Karina, Wimpole

“Many thanks to the ” Dorset Dental Clinic Team” for making time to fit me in for an emergency extraction on the 23rd of December. No way was this going to be a merry Christmas for me, being in such pain with a problematic back tooth; it was no straight forward job either for the team as the tooth was also a bridge. However, with the tooth gone and being pain-free, a very happy Christmas was had by me and my family. Thank you, Team Dorset Dental Clinic” – Michael, Ferndown
