Ive had major problems with my teeth in the past, from having front teeth knocked out as a teenager, poorly fitting crowns causing gum problems, some poor root canal work in the past, compounded by an intolerance to some anaesthetics like lidocaine, plus a scuba diving hobby that doesn't tolerate imperfect fillings. I hated my teeth, and also going to the dentist, but Dan, Claudia and their team are so gentle and professional, and the environment so lovely, that it's not too bad, and the results have been astonishingly good, my smile has been transformed. I very much doubt there is a team anywhere that is better.

I came to Gentle Dentistry after years of being terrified of dentists after some traumatic NHS bodged jobs. I wish I had sooner! The whole team are absolutely lovely, it feels like one big family and they're eager for you to join. Dan in particular is the friendliest person I've ever met and just has this ability to make you feel calm and relaxed. Looking forward to going through my dental plan!

Dan and his team have undertaken a number of restorations to correct previous dentistry, and I have been really impressed; his explanation, care and calming approach makes the experience pleasurable - particularly given there has been no discomfort during or afterwards. His knowledge and attention to detail is outstanding and the environment they have created is exceptional. Highly recommended.

The care and treatment I received from Dan and Maya at Gentle Dentistry was of the highest professional standard delivered with gentle hands. I felt completely at ease during my visits and the superb results reflect the team's combined expertise and skill. It was a genuinely postive experience. Thank you! 10/10

My son is 7 and, after a series of unfortunate teeth problems, has started to develop a serious phobia of anything dental. I was starting to think after several failures at other places that we would have to put him to sleep for something as benign as extracting a tooth. The whole team at Gentle Dentistry did a fantastic work. Thanks to Ed, Claudia, and Izzy, after 35 minutes of unwavering patience, goodwill and continuous efforts, the child finally accepted to relax and was safely numbed and masterfully treated. I can safely say that I can't imagine anybody doing any better. We will be back!

I have had successful treatment today as Dan refashioned an old front tooth filling I have had done several times by other dentists in the past. The job he did was perfect. I cannot fault the result and it is the best it has ever looked. He said he was aiming for perfection and he achieved it. I am thrilled with it and will be smiling much more I am sure. And it was all done completely painlessly. The man is a genius.

I have recently had some treatment with Eduard and it really was a lovely experience. From the minute I arrived, everyone was very welcoming and friendly - Eduard explained everything to me and made me feel so at ease. He was extremely gentle, totally professional and the procedure was painless. Thank you to Eduard and Claudia. I would thoroughly recommend Gentle Dentistry.

I have always been very nervous visiting the dentist, and have been quite anxious every time, even a check up. Thought I would try Gentle Dentistry and would give them ten stars if I could. All the staff there are so welcoming and when I had to have a long appointment with Dan to redo my front teeth recently, him and Claudia were so reassuring, kind, patient with me and very gentle. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

When we retired to Dorset 12 years ago, despite a 250 mile round trip, as we were very happy with the care provided and were reluctant to change we continued to regularly drive to Hertfordshire to see the the dentist who had treated us for many years. Prior to a scheduled check up we were told that he had decided to move to Cornwall and rather than see another dentist in the same practice, we took the opportunity to move to another closer to home.

We talked to many friends and several of them recommended the various practices they used. A respected retired dentist friend told us about Gentle Dentistry saying that in his opinion that we would not find better outside of Harley Street. We immediately made appointments for initial inspections which lead to comprehensive and understandable treatment plans.

From our first contact Dan and all the team at Gentle Dentistry have given us highly personal and caring attention, using state of the art equipment with skill and technical knowledge to match they have more than confirmed our friend's recommendation. Dan's response when a crown came off on Boxing Day was totally unexpected. As they were closed for the holiday I sent an email not expecting a response until the New Year. Dan phoned on the 28th December and asked if I could get to the surgery.

Two hours after arriving, following extensive repair work to the remaining tooth, I left with a perfect new crown which had been manufactured on site. Their passion for what they do is remarkable and we are delighted to now benefit from it.

Root canal treatment done by Dan and Maya, made to feel incredibly at ease, comfortable, very thorough and explains in detail what is happening. Extremely generous also. Would recommend 100%

Dan and his team are all very welcoming and helpful within the practice. My daughter needed corrective treatment on her teeth for a trauma injury sustained a few years ago. She has been made to feel comfortable and relaxed about all the aspects needed to complete her treatment. Dan and the team are giving her, her smile back. I am so grateful

I went to see Dan first, but before that I was met in reception where the receptionist was kind and most of all friendly to me. The atmosphere was one of relaxed perfection. I was met by Dan who understood totally my fear of dentistry. We had a relaxing chat first. Then he asked me what music I liked, there was a tv screen as well. As I sat in the chair, he assured me and promised me he would not hurt me and he did not.

We had x rays and CT done of teeth and gums. He explained what he could do. He made me feel safe! Made me feel trust. Which instantly lifted some of my fear. Then he made an appointment for the hygienist. I was very scared about that. I need not have been. I can honestly say it was an amazing experience. The first time in my 71 years I had a pain free experience.

The girls were amazing, kind and reassuring all the time. No longer afraid of the hygienist! Amazing! I go back on Monday to have my review for treatment. So far it's been brilliant. For those with a real fear, this is the place to come. Jennifer Carter

What an outstanding experience I've had today at Gentle Dentistry. All the team are brilliant and Dan has achieved an amazing result on my front tooth which was broken. Very impressed, I can't recommend them enough! Thank you :

I have recently completed a course of treatment at Gentle Dentistry. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. The hygienist was experienced and very knowledgeable, gave excellent advice and for the first time ever the scale and polish was pain free. I saw the wonderful Dr Ed Gazdov, was given a thorough examination and a treatment plan that could proceed at a pace of my choosing.

I had several procedures all carried out expertly, without pain and in a relaxed atmosphere. The dental nurses were very kind and attentive, constantly checking that I was comfortable and pain free. I am delighted with the outcome of the treatment I received and cannot recommend this practice enough.

From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave the service and experience you receive at 'Gentle' is exceptional. The treatment and clinical managers are so warm and welcoming, they make arranging your treatment plan so easy and they always make the time to call you back to check that your treatment has gone to plan. I had two visits with the dental therapy team.

They could not have been more professional in they way they carefully cleaned my teeth. These are the only times I've experienced painless visits to a dental hygienist. My dentist, Ed, and all the dental nurses are exceptional. I had significant dental repairs conducted by the team. The work was completed to the highest standards. I've gone from having a mouth full of problems to a set of teeth I'm delighted with.

The whole team is delightful, they really care about the quality of the service they provide and they take care of you for every moment you're with them; it's no surprise it's called the 'Gentle Dentistry'.

Just want to say a massive thank you to Dan and his team, everyone was so welcoming and ensured that I was looked after. As you can see from the pictures I was missing a tooth but after my treatment you wouldn't even know that there was a gap present. This was all possible due to the amazing work of Dan, his head nurse Maya and the whole team at Gentle Dentistry!

I am now able to finally have the confidence to smile again, could not be happier with the results. I would 100% recommend this practice if you're looking for an amazing new smile. Thank you once again!
