I have been with the Gentle Dental Practice for 8 years, the care and service I have received has always been 5 star. I have recently used their new hygienist Nicky who is great. Looking for a new dentist just contact their very friendly and proffessional team.

Dental Impant Surgery:I had my dental implants fitted recently and I am extremely happy with the outcome. Ali and the team have done an amazing job since I lost my 2 front teeth over 6 years ago. I had to wait for the surgery for a long time due to my age and the issues surrounding having implants at a young age.I finally had the surgery 12 weeks ago and had my two new crowns fitted last week. They look absolutely amazing and the whole procedure was way less painful than I ever thought it would be.I would highly recommend getting your implants done at the Gentle Dental Practice, you won’t regret it!A massive thank you to everyone at the practice!

Fantastic work on my teeth and I would highly recommend! My teeth turned out better than I had even hoped for. If you are in need of any dental work, you would be doing a great disservice if you didn’t speak to this practice first. The staff were extremely friendly, there were text updates and all in all an excellent service from start to finish. If you haven’t guessed already, I am thoroughly pleased with The Gentle Dentle. Thank you!

Like many people, I have an immense fear of dentistry, and dentists, due to previous experiences.I had two broken teeth and one that had been treated incorrectly by an NHS dentist. I had been in daily pain for about 18 months, and had been put on a 6 month waiting list by my NHS dentist.I called gentle dental to explain my problem and they offered me a same day appointment. They were kind, compassionate, understanding, patient and validating. I’m not sure anybody ever feels completely comfortable in the chair, but It’s the closest I’ve ever come!The work needed was carried out, all of the staff were kind and welcoming, and it showed me that the dentist doesn’t have to be a dreaded place!Thank you so, so much gentle dental! I will definitely be returning.

Dental Implants – 3 New Teeth – June 2022I had the most professional and pain free experience when getting my new tooth implants at Gentle Dental. Honestly I put it off for some many years because I just didn’t want to go through the pain. But my experience was totally the opposite. Ali and the wonderful girls were there every step of the way. All my questions got answered and I was reassured everything would work out well. And it did. I was worried for no reason.I did think about going abroad to have it done but when you consider the risk factor, time and professional standards – it made no sense to me. I have known Ali for a long time and knew I would be in the best hands and if there were any issues these would could be resolved easily.If you are thinking of having dental implants at Gentle – don’t waste any more time. Just book and get it done.Was it painful ? No, uncomfortable for a few days, yes for sure.I just wish I had it done sooner. Thanks guys, love my new teeth 🙂

Can’t thank this practice enough for all their help. I don’t post reviews very often, so when I do, it’s because an impression has been left! Dr Ali saw me at short notice to help fix a broken tooth. The nurse (I think her name was Danni) was so helpful and kind, as were the rest of the team. Thank you for being there for me in my hour of need (the same day i asked for an appointment!)

I’m so happy to find this practice. I suffer from anxiety and high sensitivity to pain. It was very stressful for me going to dentist after years of fear. The team not only make me calm and welcome but I FELL ASLEEP during treatment with Dr Marshall ! So understanding and caring. Thank you!

I have been using this dentist for well over a decade and can honestly say my teeth would be in a far worse situation if wasn’t for the Gentle Dental practice.My most recent visit was for a filling .. barely felt the injection!I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone, but especially if you’re teeth require a high level of care like mine.

This place was recommended to me by family and for a nervous patient the best experience. The reception welcome is cheerful and friendly, beautifully modern area with hot drinks and water on offer.I needed implants, crowns and bridges followed by whitening, so lots of appointments. My dentist Mr Ali Rafai was superb from start to finish, so professional and personable. Throughout the whole process I was cared for wonderfully plus lots of laughs along the way. The constant care during appointments was very comforting, no rushing, and I knew I my needs were Mr Rafai’s priority. Plus check up call the next day without fail to make sure everything was going well.Absolutely deserves five stars!

Fantastic experience with Ali. It took 18 months including bone grafting, removing and replacing failed dental implants, invisaline for my bottom teeth which were all over the place and some veneers but now I’m delighted with the outcome.Ali was always very clear about how this wasn’t an overnight solution in an honest and forthright manner which gave me confidence that he would deliver results.I was offered several overnight solutions from other dentists locally at a fraction of the cost but when I see how much effort and detail that went into my plan, I know i made the right choice.

How we diagnose and treat urgent dental problems

There are multiple causes and reasons why teeth begin to fail and cause oral health problems.   However, here at Gentle Dental, we’ve been in practice for 25+ years and know exactly what to do to ensure our patient’s problems are treated quickly and effectively.

We also understand that access to everyday dental care is not always viable and that many patients fear bad teeth or the dentist. Please trust that we won’t judge your oral condition but will do everything possible to make it whiter, brighter and healthier for years to come.

Tools, equipment and methods we might use:

  1. Deep irrigation to flush out plaque, bacteria and other toxins
  2. X-rays and scans to investigate the roots of the teeth
  3. CT scans to uncover hidden issues
  4. Injections to anaesthetise to treat periodontal disease
  5. Non-invasive tooth-coloured fillings to alleviate pressure caused by cavities
  6. Laser gum treatments
  7. Tooth splinting to attach weak teeth together

Please, in the event of an emergency, do not wait for longer than you need to. Waiting another day to seek help can lead to more expensive and extensive care.

FAQs: Dental Emergency questions answered

Advice from private emergency dentists on dealing with various dental complications:

Patients often come to us in a state of panic when they have lost one or more teeth from trauma, accident, gum disease or tooth decay.

We understand the impacts of a lost tooth on a patient, such as confidence and esteem issues.

Not to mention the effects it can have on your oral health.

If you have lost a tooth, it is essential to find a replacement technique that does not deteriorate the mouth’s condition further.

For example, we’ve seen severe bone loss, the formation of periodontal disease and eventually further tooth loss when patients ignore the gaps in their mouth.

The Gentle Dental recommends dental implants for patients who have lost missing teeth.

Dental implants are a better and more comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.

View more advantages.

Our caring dental staff will be able to organise an emergency appointment for you at your earliest convenience.

Prices will vary per clinic. However, usually there is a fee for an emergency appointment, which is on top of your treatment costs. New patient routine appointments cost from £75 with us.

NHS dentists often have long waiting lists, which is not exactly helpful news. But there are special emergency practices that might have availability. When wishing to use an NHS emergency dentist please call 111.

Different clinics will offer different opening times. Often, emergency dentists either have separate, additional out-of-hours times to book alongside their regular appointments, or some will only offer them in the morning. 

At the Gentle Dental, we recommend calling first thing in the morning to see where we can urgently fit you in. Please note that the practice in the past has stayed open late, or worked through lunch to serve desperate patients in need of our help.

You should see an emergency dentist if you have any dental problems that we’ve covered on this list such as broken teeth and swollen cheeks.

A&E should only be an option if you have a dental injury that is very severe, and in cases, where you are losing a lot of blood. 

In other circumstances, where painkillers are not being effective in numbing your pain, you should try and look for an out of hours dentist.

  • A severe fracture can expose the pulp tissue, which will need to be treated immediately.
  • When a tooth is knocked out, make sure to handle it by its crown and not the root
  • When pulp tissue decays, it can lead to severe tooth infections and abscesses
  • Minor tooth fractures often involve enamel only chipping off
  • Deep cracks often affect enamel and dentin
  • To prevent dental injuries, we advise aligning any protruding teeth with dental braces such as Invisalign or using mouth guards when playing sports.
