I recently had an emergency dental problem and cannot express my gratitude and thanks to.Bev and Mr Kumar. The service offered at the practice is phenomenal. I was seen on the morning I telephoned and had the treatment. I then contacted them the next day and without hesitation was seen again. I cannot recommend this practice enough, which is managed by professional, efficient, knowledgeable individuals, who not only establish your needs but exceed your expectations and all with a friendly warm smile. Thanks again to Bev and Mr Kumar.

Absolutely amazing dental practice. I have had a real fear of dentists for over 15 years and avoided them until the pain from two broken teeth was too much and needed an emergency appointment. I was greeted by a lovely friendly receptionist which immediately put me at ease. The teeth were whipped out in no time, the Dentist Mr Kumar talked me through everything he was doing and before going ahead asked me if I was ok to carry on, I honestly didn’t feel a thing and it felt such a relief that it was over so quickly. Thank you so much, my faith in Dentists has been restored 😁😁

Absoloutley amazing ! I recently had composite bonding done by Mr Kumar and I'm no longer insecure about smiling with my teeth, he is outstanding at what he does and I couldn't be any happier. Mr Kumar and Ashleigh were very professional but so welcoming, such lovely people who made me feel very comfortable. I won't be going anywhere else !

Absolutely fantastic experience, I personally have never liked going to the dentist but since visiting Wheatley Hill and been looked after by Marlene my views and perception on going to the dentist has changed, Marlene makes you feel so at ease, is so understanding and in general a very caring dentist. I actually now look forward to visiting the dentist, because I know I am going to be looked after. Marlene is a total credit to the surgery and she has worked wonders with my teeth, I would recommend this surgery to anyone, thank you very much.
