Dr David Dickson may be the nicest Dr I have ever had the pleasure to meet, the fact that he is a…read moreDentist is fantastic news! My Wife, children and I all had appointments on the same day for a checkup, clean and polish. Digital x-rays preceded the clean, that, the only bad thing about it was that it tickled!

But the time came and we had the insurance so off we went. I was holding off on writing this review until I had some real work done by Dr. Dickson. So yesterday I went on line to his handy dandy appointment website and booked myself in to have a cracked filling replaced. I think he is the best dentist I have ever had. My cleaning was actually pleasurable. No blood. My filling replacement well, it was dental work so I can't say it was pleasurable. What I can say is that apart from the Novocaine shot I didn't feel any pain. Even now that the numbness has worn off I feel totally fine. My filling feels very natural and like the old one when I bite on it. You know how sometimes you can just tell that someone is good at what they do? I get that feeling here. I think he is not only good at being a dentist but he really likes it and wants to make you as comfortable as possible. I also like that he really explains what is going on so you know what treatment you need, what treatments can wait and what is really important. Plus I can say that he is the first dentist ever to not mention my tongue piercing. Usually I get a lecture. Nope, nothing. Thanks again Dr. Dickson!!

Rude, over priced, dreadful customer service, £ signs in their eyes…read more When I broke my tooth I went to my nearest dentist - St Clements - where my flatmate had been and raved about how quickly they saw him. I knew they were mostly private, so I didn't expect it come cheap, but I did think the money they were charging you through the nose for would at least be top notch. From the second I got on the phone I knew I was onto a wrong 'un. Here are just SOME of the dreadful phrases that came out of the mouths of the receptionists AND dentist: - "You do know that we MOSTLY do private as we don't get paid enough to do NHS" - "If you want a white filling on the NHS you could try at the hospital, I guess, but they'd probably just give you a silver one." - "Your last dentist obviously didn't know what he was doing. That could be rotting under your teeth or some weird filling". My previous dentist was FIRST CLASS and far better than the dreadful service I got here. Utterly pretentious even before I parted with my cash. And I wasn't the only one, as I awaited my check up I sat next to a woman who came in to ask about NHS services and was treated as though she'd come in wearing rags. The sad thing is they told me I needed a filling, but the awful service made me walk out without the treatment. But the pain I felt caused me to call up today for an appointment. The receptionist laughed disgustedly at me and said "yes you've left it a long time and you need a lot of work" - the tone, patronising and aggrevated. No way am I giving them a penny of my money. Not one iota of care about their patients unless their paying private and don't mention the dreaded "NHS" word. I'd rather be in pain then call them again.

Chiswick Park Dental Practice is, quite frankly, the best dentist in England…read more Hailing from America, I was shocked to find that - of the dental practices I dealt with in England - a max of 15 minutes was allocated for a dental cleaning. In the US, a full hour is allocated for a dental cleaning which includes a quick check by the dentist at the end of the appointment. In England, dental cleanings and dentist visits are two separate appointments which took some getting used to but I have actually come to like because it's not necessary that I see a dentist every six months but it is necessary that I get a dental cleaning every six months - something instilled in me by my other since my first tooth popped through my gums. At CPDP, their dental cleanings are 30 minutes in length which provide the hygienist enough time to remove tartar and polish your teeth (no flossing as provided in America). There is an American hygenist at CPDP named LeAnn (or LeAnna?) who does an excellent job for those Americans out there looking for an American hygenist. Pradip Gandhi is a very thorough dentist with great bedside manner; I'd guess he was trained in America but I can't say that with certainty. He's honest and willing to answer any questions you have. For example, chipped the backside of my upper front tooth about eight months ago. I mentioned this to him and he said that if it is not bothering me, that he recommends to leave it alone, stating further that he could patch it but that in his experience, the patch generally would come loose within 2--3 months because of the way I chipped my tooth (merely breaking off part of the enamel, not a break like missing an entire section of my tooth). I really appreciated that he was honest with me and felt as though he had my best interest in mind. The one thing to note about CPDP though is they have a very strict cancellation policy. If you cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, you will be charged. Easy to get to via the Chiswick Park and Turnham Green Tube stations.

However recently I turned up for an appointment and met my new dentist for the first time.

I also think that had I been a middle class Caucasian woman/man his manner and tone would have been entirely different.
I have never got why people get scared about going to the dentist…read more From the age of three I used to go to Kings College Dental Hospital. Initially, slightly shy about letting a stranger look into my mouth (I am told) my parents would bring me here while Dr Smith a very amiable and calm dentist would count my teeth, give me a sticker and off I went home. I doubt this is common practice but it worked for me and since I have never had a problem with going to the dentist. The hospital deals in paediatric, orthodontic and specialist dentistry. It is run by the NHS so advanced booking is necessary and the time in the waiting room is by no standards brief, but the dentists here were always fantastic throughout the many years I was a patient here for. Excellent with children, excellent in what they do and thankfully I have not had a single problem with my teeth since.
I was referred here by my dentist for wisdom tooth extraction. It was a long time before I received…read morea letter with an appointment date and time (which could be changed on calling them, but I didn't need to), but apparently it takes up to 6 weeks for them to contact you after a dentist referral. My letter was followed by an automated voice message to my phone a few days before - reminding me of my appointment and asking me to confirm that I would be there. On the day the waiting time was minimal, the staff friendly and really put me at ease. I had an Xray (you have to remove all jewellery around the area - earrings, necklace etc, however I have a lip ring that I have never removed and they just worked around it). They provided an easy to understand analysis of my wisdom tooth situation, and the procedure I would need to go through, and said I would probably need another, 3d, xray scan to know how the tooth sits, before the surgery. A few days later I received my letter asking me to book my 3d scan appointment, which I did, and I arrived on the day and went straight in for the scan. Again, I could not remove my lip ring, and neither could the scanning staff, so they worked around it and it was fine. I am currently waiting for my letter to book the surgery itself. My rating will perhaps change after that! Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, efficient appointments (minimal wait!) Cons: Having to wait for letters to be able to schedule appointments - it creates a delay and a phone or an online system would be much easier! Scanning staff not being able to help me remove my lip ring haha.
