Before I discovered Smiles in the City Centre, I had really struggled in Birmingham to find a good…read moredentist. When I was a student I had scoured my local NHS dentists, only to have my teeth butchered and then be robbed by the cost by the one most local to myself. The whole experience left me pretty traumatised and (I'm sorry to say) led me not to go to the dentist at regular intervals for a few years... On hearing about a fantastic private dentist (that just happened to be over the road from my old work), I decided it was time to get back on it and have my first appointment with this so-called magician... Well, they weren't wrong. I came across Dr Ruth in 2011 and haven't looked back. Smiles dental in the City Centre sadly closed down, but I was relieved to hear my favourite dentist had moved to a new practise in Solihull. Now, Solihull is a bit of a trek from us, but after some deliberation we decided we would make the journey (it is only about 30 minutes by car, after all) to go and check out the new clinic and get our 6 monthly checkups. First thing to note is that Smiles is now Oasis Dental care. Cue us, in the carpark very confused... We weren't told that Smiles had been bought out and wondered if we had come to the right place, luckily (after a brief phone call), we wandered inside in the nick of time for our appointments. The new building looks like an old converted Manor house. It has a little conservatory on the front of the building and the reception area has a TV and is clean, modern and fresh. We were greeted as if we were old friends and I was shown through the labyrinth of a building to the examination room. Unlike many dentists, these guys have a tool to "sandblast" your teeth with a nice tasting lemony concoction. I got the all clear and had my scale and polish within about 25 minutes (with Dr Ruth checking every aspect of my mouth for any warning signs). She explained every part of the process as she went and supplied me with warnings and tips as to where I might see work needing to be done later on. Once I had been sorted, I went to reception to pay. A scale and polish is £65 and the guys always supply the correct paperwork to enable a claim on health cover. The receptionist was helpful and friendly and we made our next appointment straight away. The venue gets bonus points as we were told we could leave our car in the generous car park whilst we pootled about Solihull (saving us a fortune in parking). This dentist may be a trek, but it's worth the journey for excellent care, great staff and a fantastically kitted out surgery. Bravo, Oasis.

I was a bit gutted when I found out my dentists was closing it's doors, but fortunately Dr. Ruth…read morewas relocating to their branch in Solihull. After not going to the dentist for many years, mainly due to being unable to find a decent one locally that I could fit around work, there was no way I was going to let a good one slip through my fingers. So off to Solihull it was for me. Somewhat confused we (Vicky and I) arrived at what we thought was Smiles Dental on Manor Road in Solihull but instead of the familiar green logos emblazoning the place it had been replaced by cool blue signage and a new name - Oasis Dental Care. After some continued confusion all was put to rest as this was in fact the right place and our trusted dental surgeon Dr. Ruth was waiting for us inside with her usual beaming smile and hungry for updates on our wedding last July. After filling in a medical history form and a brief wait while Vicky went it I was called in. I honestly can't recommend the quality of service here enough. Yes, you may be able to get dental cover cheaper on the NHS but the overall care provided by Dr. Ruth and her team is second to none. My full treatment consisted of a check up as well as scale and polish - no mean feat with my mouth as I have inherited my father's hyper-sensitive gums (cheers Dad!) and as such a full gum numbing was required to really scrape away the inevitable detritus that builds up over 6 months. Even though the process is a bit uncomfortable (especially the lidocaine injection in the roof of the mouth - oww!) Dr. Ruth and the team make it as pleasant as possible and after about half an hour I left with my teeth feeling like new (well, they did when I could feel my mouth again!) and already booked in for my next appointment. Hell, they even let us leave our car there so we could have a bit of a wander into Solihull town centre. If you've spotted my review of the aforementioned Smiles before you'll know I can't recommend Dr. Ruth any more as a dentist. If you're on the lookout for someone to take care of your gnashers then there is probably nobody better to turn to.

We avoid going to this dentist if we can as it looks like it is set in the dark ages. The waiting room has a badly tuned TV and a selection of magazines from the 1970's! The waiting room is grubby, smells of wee and the blinds are falling down. The whole place desperately needs refurbishing and modernising. The dentist equipment is very old and you sit in a manky beige chair. They don't seem to have any up to date equipment which makes the whole experience very scary. The dentist is nice enough and it still has NHS spaces. They are quite well organised and will send you out a reminder when it's time to book your next appointment, however they don't take any cards as payment and you have to pay by cash! I think this surgery adds scary into the scary experience of going to the dentist!

Firstly I do not appreciate having to pay for treatment in advance when making an appointment. There may be some great reasons for this but really, as the paying customer, I have to real off my card details over the phone? Secure? Maybe. I'm told by a source this is only for NHS patients which makes me feel even more second rate. Arriving early for my dental check up appointment I am asked to wait in a room with a huge TV in. I hate what's on but social etiquette won't allow me to get up and change the rolling news. Eventually I am called, 15 minutes late, to my first appointment. Yes I understand 15 minutes is not very long, yes I understand this is not the worse thing in the world to happen but a simple apology would go along way. The receptionist mentioning it when I booked in would have appeased me also. The dental check up goes fine and then I have my hygiene appointment. The hygienist is wonderful and does a great job. My issues are not with the dental parts of the service but the bureaucracy that fits around it. The reception also closes for lunch. So you can't phone over your lunch break, you know, when phone calls are easier to make?!
