Some of our lovely REVIEWS

Helpful and Friendly

I have just joined the dental practice and found the staff very professional. The dentist and dental nurse were very helpful and friendly. Felt at ease and I received a lot of useful information about the condition of my teeth. My last dentist felt like I was going through a car wash so it’s nice to be treated as a patient not a customer.

One of best I’ve experienced

I've been with this dental practice for around 10 years and I have to say this is one of best I have ever experienced. I finally decided to have some wonky front teeth sorted here, and they did an absolutely amazing job. Definitely 5 stars!

Dave Hunt

Would highly recommend this service

What an absolutely fantastic experience. Since moving to Dorset I've been concerned about finding a new dentist as I've had bad experiences in the past. I needn't have worried. Friendly helpful and professional from the moment I walked through the door. Would highly recommend this service. If I could give 6 starts I would. Thanks to all the staff at The Neighbourhood Centre

What a lovely practice this is

The girls on reception help make coming to the Dentist a great experience they are both chatty and always very welcoming to me and my wife. The Dentist was also very kind and explained all our treatment options clearly. We then saw the hygienist last week and she is also brilliant, was very chatty which put me at ease during my clean. What a lovely practice this is.

I highly recommend this practice

After leaving a dentist who neglected issues I had, I am so happy to have found a dentist who is such a credit to her profession. The reception staff are really helpful too. My dentist and her dental nurse provided excellent care and made me feel so at ease. I highly recommend this practice. They also made the dentist experience an easy one for my daughter. She is only 2 and they were so patient with her and made sure she didn't feel scared. This meant a lot to me knowing future visits will be easy.

They really put me at ease

My dental experience was very positive mainly due to the friendly and relaxing manner of the dentist and her assistant. They really put me at ease both during my check up and when I had a filling. My dentist was very informative throughout with regards to treatment options.

NHS Dental Charges (Effective from April 2026)

If you’re joining us as an NHS patient, it’s important to understand how dental charges work.

All NHS dental treatment falls into one of three charge bands — depending on the type of care you receive. These charges are set nationally and ensure you receive essential treatment to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.

✅ Good to know:

  • You’ll only pay once per course of treatment — even if it takes multiple visits

  • Your dentist will explain the band and cost before starting any treatment

  • Exemptions apply to children, pregnant patients, and those receiving qualifying benefits

You can always speak to our reception team if you’d like help understanding the charges or what your care includes.

📄 For full details, visit the NHS Dental Charges page.

Band 1

£27.90

This covers an examination, diagnosis (eg X-rays), advice on how to prevent future
problems, a scale and polish if needed, and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant.

If you require urgent care, even if your urgent treatment needs more than one appointment to complete, you will only need to pay one Band 1 charge.

Band 2

£76.60

This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or if your dentist needs to take out one or more of your teeth.

Band 3

£332.10

This covers everything listed in Bands 1 and 2, plus crowns, dentures and bridges.

You may be eligible for free NHS dental treatment, or help with costs, depending on your circumstances.

Patients who may qualify include:

  • Under-18s (or under 19 and in full-time education)

  • Pregnant individuals or those who’ve had a baby in the last 12 months

  • People on certain means-tested benefits

  • Those covered by the NHS Low Income Scheme

If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we’ll be happy to guide you through it.
