Dentist recommendations please

[matnurse1983]

I have just moved to ED and I'm looking for a good dentist that accepts NHS patients.

I'm very anxious about going but definitely need to.

Looking for somewhere where the staff are friendly with a clean waiting room (been in some manky eaiting rooms in the past and it didn't help the anxiety). Oh, and a lovely dentist would be fab.

I know that there are lots of threads out there but I would really like to get a picture of what the surgeries are like now.

Have moved practically opposite East Dulwich Dental Centre so any opinions on that one would be ace.

Thanks,

D

Does anyone else recommend their dentist?

I'm having an issue with opening times. I work 8-6 every day so need somewhere that offers evening appointments. Do they exist?

I have been to Townley Road Dental this week as a first time patient of theirs. I had 1 filling from the dentist and also a full clean and polish from the hygienist.

I can't fault them at all. Very professional and also explain what they are doing each step of the way. By far the best Dentist I have been to.

I've just been to North Cross Road (Smile surgery) and had a second check-up. I haven't received any treatment there do far except a clean but am going back for a filling in a week so can update you then. Am happy so far. Does anyone else have views on this surgery? The dentist there is tackling a decaying tooth which three other dentists have said to ignore.

I have just signed up with L.Ziman & Associates in Brockley. They are open 9-9 on Monday and Tuesday and 9-1 on Saturday. They are taking NHS patients and even treat us on a Saturday :)

Hate visiting the dentist but I would recommend Smile (North Cross Road). I went to Grace and she was brilliant. I had two fillings (one was a replacement). I found several staff at the Dulwich Dental Clinic to be rude and the clinic is quite impersonal. All staff at Smile were very pleasant and I felt comfortable and welcome.

If I don't get on with Ziman I'll go to smile. :)
