Holistic Dentistry is an approach to dental treatment, primarily caring for patient's health and safety from both a conventional as well as "alternative healthcare" point of view. In holistic dentistry there is an effort to find biocompatible materials to use to reduce toxicity for everyone, especially the chemically sensitive. Amalgam use is avoided in holistic dentistry - "mercury free" due to concern about possible toxicity problems.

What a gorgeous, gorgeous dental centre. Everything about this visit was perfect. I cannot recommend Denise (hygienist) and Rohini (dentist) and her assistant Toni enough - not to mention the wonderful Deborah on reception. Brilliantly observant, lots of laughter, and plenty of excellent holistic advice. I never thought I'd look forward to going to the dentist, but I actually am genuinely excited about my next appointment! The best dental practice.

I have been going for years to the dentist. I am needle phobic and was scared of dentists till Emma who is amazing calmed me down and I now have no issues going. She will only do work if it's needed. The hygienists there are also excellent and really listen to your needs. I would highly recommend them. I use their dental plan also which is excellent

After a 30 year fear of dentists, due to some pretty traumatic past experiences, I can safely say I have never been able to say this before, but from the first visit to the actual extraction this morning. it has been a truly positive experience. Thank you to the entire Holistic Dental team! Had my tooth extracted by Emma 3 hours ago and I swear you'd never know I had just had a molar tooth removed! I never felt a thing! I have no pain and I think my fear of dentists may be a thing of the past!

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all of the staff at Holistic Dental Centre. It is no exaggeration to say that they have transformed my life. I was introduced to HDC via my wife who has also had extensive dental work done on her teeth by them. My wife who is a health care professional was impressed by the stringent safeguarding protocols HDC has implemented to safeguard patients and staff from both exposure to mercury during amalgam filling removal and of course from Covid 19.
I have to applaud the special attention HDC pays to the total wellbeing of their clients both mental and physical health. In my case both my dentist and hygienist have worked in conjunction with my hypnotist to help me overcome my crippling anxiety of being in the dentist's chair. I can only extol the care I was given and be thankful for the vision and foresight HDC has had to embrace, implement and combine new technologies as well as holistic methods in their dentistry practice, l can truly say that every member of staff is the personification of excellence.

I first came to Holistic Dental Centre a few years ago as I wanted my mercury fillings removed, and after looking into dental practices that were able to do this in a safe way, HDC stood out as understanding the precautions needed. When I came for my first appointment, I was so impressed with Emma's care and attention and delighted to be shown detailed photos of my teeth, an experience I had never had before at a dentist.
My amalgam removals went very smoothly thanks to the great team that is Polly and Emma, and I must make particular mention of Emma's technique for local anaesthetic administration which means that I literally hardly felt it, another big contrast to my previous experiences. I was so impressed by their care for the amalgam removals that I have continued to have my routine check ups and hygienist visits there ever since.
I massively appreciate the focus on education and feedback on dental hygiene.knowing what I am getting right and where I need to improve is a big help to me as I try and look after my teeth and gums better as time goes by. The care, skill, attention to detail and patience of the staff made me confident enough to bring my husband to the practice as well.
He has a long history of dental trauma and consequent avoidance of dental care, but I am delighted to say that under the care of the HDC team he now approaches dental appointments with far less anxiety, and walks out every time with spring in his step, having had a good experience. The covid19 pandemic made me very nervous about visiting the dentist, especially in the early days of the pandemic, as the one place you cannot wear a mask is in the dentist's chair!
I must say that Emma and her team have been attentive to safety measures throughout, sending out regular updates to their customers on what precautions they are taking. As the understanding of aerosol/airborne transmission of covid has developed over time, this has been taken on board, with windows kept open in the clinic for ventilation, and the world class air purifiers (IQ Air) in the clinical rooms help filter aerosolised particles from the air, as well as removing mercury vapour when drilling amalgams.
I am particularly grateful to them for accommodating my specific requests to reduce risk for my husband's visits, as he has health problems that make him more vulnerable to covid. Overall I have no hesitation in recommending Holistic Dental Practice to anyone. Thanks to the whole team there, and keep up the good work!

All the practitioners that I have had treatments with at this practice have been really brilliant. I am a very nervous patient and I have always been made to feel very relaxed and that I am in really good hands. The admin team are also great and always have quick responses. Highly recommend the practice and thank you for your care.

I am very grateful for the quality and expertise of Emma's treatment. Emma was very clear in diagnosing the root, cause and the extent of my problems. It was very good to get insight into my dental health through the camera and pictures that were used to explain to me what was going on (before) and to see the results (after). Emma was respectful and supportive in choosing the best course of action and treatment for my teeth.
Both Emma and Polly have made me feel very comfortable during the subsequent treatments, which were outstanding. I am also very grateful for the excellent hygienist treatment by Meagan and the general welcome and patient service by the reception team. I would recommend anyone to see the team at Holistic Dental Centre - for me, they have delivered high quality treatment and a great experience.
