Mark and Sally Shimmin took ownership of Linden Dental Surgery in 1993, and have since built a reputation for delivering high quality and affordable dentistry in a caring, friendly and welcoming environment. I have been visiting this surgery for most of my life, there are many closer, but I am more than happy to make the journey. I have used Linden dental surgery most of my adult life and bought both of my children here. The service is first class and the. Wonderful dental practice. Have had many treatments here over the years and am always greeted with the warmest of welcomes.
Services
Mark and Sally Shimmin took ownership of Linden Dental Surgery in 1993, and have since built a reputation for delivering high quality and affordable dentistry in a caring, friendly and welcoming environment. We feel extremely privileged to be treating and supporting the community with their dental and oral hygiene needs, and value the longstanding rapport we have with patients. We're always happy to welcome new patients of all ages to the practice and will work with you to achieve and maintain optimum dental health.
Under the NHS we can provide clinically necessary examinations, x-rays, scaling, fillings, crowns and dentures, but not cosmetic treatments or hygienist work. The time interval between your dental examinations will be decided by your dentist according to clinical need, and therefore you may be required to attend at intervals between 3 and 24 months.
Your dentist will have plenty of time to thoroughly examine your mouth and discuss any problems or worries with you. Your past dental treatments and experiences, and whether you are nervous of any aspects of dental treatment. Your dentist may also go through any relevant tooth cleaning techniques with you such as brushing and flossing.

Linden is a jewel of a dental surgery. I've had a few of the surgeons work on my teeth over the years all absolutely brilliant.but the one I use the most is Johnny a young man who is excellent beyond his years, he does myself and my family, not only is he our dentist but a friend too.and what with the reception staff I don't see how there could be a better dentist Anywhere!.

I have used the Linden Dental Surgery since they opened 25 years ago and now my husband and children use them too. They have always, without fail, been amazing. From the lovely warm greeting you receive on reception, along with all the great dentists and nurses, the whole experience is always relaxing, friendly and professional. I would thoroughly recommend the Linden Dental Surgery. I certainly wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

This dental practice is a real find; the jewel in the crown. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff I have met; receptionists, nurses, hygenist and dentist. Prior to joining this practice, I had not had any dental work carried out without a sedation or GA for over 48 years. I am incredibly frightened of dental procedures but the dentist and nurses have literally "held my hand" and I have gained the confidence to attend routine appointments without feeling nauseous.
I have even had treatment whilst awake! From entering the practice to find welcoming smiley receptionists to leaving, it is a highly efficient and professional surgery with the best of equipment new technology can buy combined with good old fashioned compassion and care. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful dental practice. Have had many treatments here over the years and am always greeted with the warmest of welcomes. Everyone is lovely from receptionists through to the dental nurses and the dentists themselves. I was quite a nervous patient at first and now feel completely comfortable going for dental appointments. Thanks Linden Dental!

Having read the previous review I am sure there is a mistake. I have been with this surgery for over 20 years and I have never had cause for complaint. Everyone from the wonderful receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists and dentists themselves could not be more helpful or professional. They always conduct themselves in a kind, competent and calm manner and I recommend their services without reservation.
