Damira Sharland House Dental Practice

"I would have left a review on NHS Choices but the link on the email sent to me didn't work. I have been using this dental practice for many years and have always had good service. My last visit was similarly good despite my appointment being 45 minutes late. (A text message to advise me of the delay would have been helpful - hence only 4 stars). The practitioner who saw me was excellent and gave me plenty of good advice as well as tending to the minor problems with my teeth."

"Was in extreme pain and was given an emergency appointment at short notice by sympathetic receptionist. Dentist and assistant outstanding in dealing with an infected and difficult to remove Wisdom tooth. Quick, effective, and job done with great humour and professionalism. The practice rely on locums; this particular dentist is highly recommended!"

"After breaking a front tooth at the weekend I struggled to get an emergency appointment over the next 2 days at my local dental practise. When I asked for advice they recommended Damira Sharland House who also offer a walk in service. I phoned first and spoke with a lady who was extremely helpful and gave me some options; I opted for a 15 minute consultation the next day. I wasn't in pain but I had lost my smile. I completed all the necessary forms online prior to my consultation. I arrived early and parked up in a reasonably priced pay and display next to Damira Sharland House. After a short wait I went into the dentist and Lina gave me options and what treatment we should do over the next few weeks, which I agreed to. She then put in a temporary filling which restored my smile and we arranged the next appointment in a week. I was impressed with how professional, efficient, caring all the staff were. I felt at ease, well done!"

"I am an NHS patient at another practice. They had treated me for the loss of a crown as an emergency on a Friday pm. In agony on the Saturday and they would not do anything. Finally rang Damira as could not take much more pain. I went and again they treated it to ease the pain. Next day (Sunday) I was climbing the walls and went back. The dentist decided it had to come out. It took 11 injections and the perseverance of the amazing dentist to finally get it out. The root was like jelly so it was never going to get better. The dentist was calm and was incredibly kind and empathetic. He told me he could not give any further injections so it had to come out now. I cannot tell you the relief I felt when it was out (might have been the anaesthetic) It healed well. I cannot praise them enough as I was at my wits end but they were there for me."

"Very professional, helpful and friendly staff. I went here as a walk-in patient and was seen much faster than I thought I would be. I had to go after a not finished root canal became infected. I've never been one for feeling anxious about seeing a dentist, but the dentist I saw made me feel even more comfortable than I normally do. She talked me through exactly what she would be doing, and was finished much quicker than I expected. Our government really needs to sort itself out and put more funding towards the NHS. They do so much for us and deserve more funding."
