If you are nervous in anyway Parampreet will put you at ease. I also want to thank the wonderful receptionist ,Jackie. She has been at the dental centre for many years and is a true asset. She is extremely personable and professional . Alway greets you with a smile and a kind word. Please look after these two members of staff in particular.

Recently attended the practice for my first ever hygienist appointment. Parampreet not only provided an excellent level of service on the day, but was kind enough to give me some expert advice on how to maintain a good level of dental hygiene moving forward, with some daily routines to follow. I would highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre both in terms of results as well as the kind and accommodating nature of the people who work there, all of whom made me feel very welcome on the day.

JR

John Redmond

I've been a satisfied client of Guildford Dental Centre (GDC) for 7 years now, first with Terry and latterly with Jonathon Tan, and I've been happy with their dental care throughout this time. Trusting your Dentist's advice, approach and expertise is one of those important areas in life and I'm very confident in using and recommending GDC. I realised recently that I'd adopted a tooth-free smile because I was embarrassed to show my two front teeth, but Jonathon replaced an old crown and compositely filled the other cracked tooth, together with erosion on the adjacent teeth, and now I have a fulsome smile back! Any problems are quickly resolved and finally the receptionists are excellent, polite and helpful, especially Jackie.

It did an excellent job and my teeth are cleaner and whiter than they've been in ages. Worth the additional expense. Having your teeth cleaned is never much fun but I highly recommend Parampreet as she was friendly, efficient and gentle.

22nd May 2022

As ever, very friendly and helpful exchanges with both reception and clinician, and good advice about future treatment that I am happy to embark upon.

13th April 2022

Tooth broken Sunday evening. Reconstructed within 12 hours. Fairly painless. Very professional

8th April 2022

Every member of staff at the clinic was friendly, helpful and courteous. My treatment was swift and to the point with Dentist and assistant being professional and thorough, explaining what was being done and the follow-up treatment. I was most appreciative of their ways.

7th April 2022

I didn't have to wait to long on arrival. I found the receptionist very friendly. The dental nurse who came out to see me was very polite and friendly.my dentist has always been friendly always asks how you are. Very througher and explain about your treatment.

7th April 2022

Every thing done went well

5th April 2022

I find the dentist is very supportive of my needs. I feel safe in the clinic. He has treated me for many years and I would not go anywhere else in future

3rd April 2022

This was a new hygenist to me. She took time to discuss my care and gave me options. I have had less satisfactory care from previous hygenists before so I was very pleasantly surprised. The practice as a whole has looked after me for many years.

3rd April 2022

Very professional service

1st April 2022

I felt safe & comfortable in the clinic. The clinician explained what was happening & asked me to let him know if I needed to stop the procedure at any time. He took X-rays & explained the results, & made recommendations.

1st April 2022

My retainer broke in the morning, I telephoned the practice and they fitted me in that morning to fit fir a replacement- excellent service

30th March 2022

The work was carried out efficiently reliably and painlessly with a commentary of the process as it was in train with the ability to stop the process if painful at any time by a gesture. Not required. I am genuinely gratified by the way dental treatment has improved in the last decade. My generation was scared stiff of the dentist in our youth and that fear probably stayed with us. I rate the dentist who deals with me very highly both as a professional and a highly emotionally intelligent person who puts yopu at your ease and in whom one has great confidence. Can't expect better frankly.

Recently finished my Invisalign treatment with one of the Dentists at the practice, Tessa. Had the best overall experience, Tessa has a way of calming you down and is always up for a chat which I personally love! My teeth now also look perfect, which has improved my confidence massively!! The practice is clean and the waiting area is beautiful too, which is a big plus to attending! Thank you to Tessa and Guildford Dental Centre for a great Dental experience!

What more can I say? Your survey covers everything, bar the flowers and they were very nice.

7th March 2022

Everything was highly satisfactory as usual. The staff were polite and they did a good job, especially with my young children. Only downside is that I would prefer it to be cheaper - it's a lot of money to spend every 6 months.

Just had my dental appointment with Dr. Brumder - she was really wonderful! Put me very much at ease, very professional and understanding. Would highly recommend this practice, also had a hygienist appointment with Parampreet a couple of weeks ago who was brilliant, took good care of my teeth. For people who don't like the dentist very much, I would definitely recommend this practice.

21st February 2022

Check was thorough- could not ask for more.

DH

Danielle Holdsworth

I'm terrified of the dentist. Irrational but true. I had a routine check up today and I can honestly say that my appointment with Tara was the best I've ever had. She made me feel more relaxed and in control than I have ever felt and I came away feeling no trauma and not dreading the next appointment. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the experience but I didn't hate it as much as I have in the past which for me, is a win!

NP

neil pritchard

I’m fine with bungee jumping, parachuting, motorcycle racing etc but I’m absolutely terrified of the dentist. Completely irrational and ridiculous since there’s rarely any pain but it’s just the thought of someone tinkering around in there. My bestie, Dr Tan, has changed that over the years… not sure how, but the fear is gone. I even had a root canal; it was not the horror show I had in my head. Cheers doc! See you again soon.

RS

Rowena Shouly

I visited Dr. Ali for a root canal after not having had one for a long time. All I remember from my previous root canals at another dentists was that it was quite uncomfortable and painful. But Dr. Ali put me at ease straight away. He explained the process really well in advance and did a great job, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. He also replaced a crown for me and the whole process went really well. Very professional and courteous at all times. I've been a patient of Dr. Ali for quite some time now and every time I have had any dental treatment it was to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Dr. Ali and the team at Guildford Dental Centre.

Dean Smith

I would highly recommend, the staff here are super friendly and welcoming. The hygienist I saw was very understanding and took great care in cleaning and polishing my teeth. I got home and smiled and astonished at how clean my teeth are now! I actually look forward to going back and can't thank my team there enough! Thank you Guildford Dental Centre! :D

Ashish Gadi

I would strongly recommend Dr Tan at Guildford Dental Centre. I recently got my critical dental treatment done by Dr Tan. He is extremely knowledgeable and a caring dentist. He explained the procedure in great detail and made me super comfortable before the treatment. He also spent good time post the treatment showing the details on X Ray. He is very professional and is very good at what he does as he clearly solved some serious issues with my teeth. Dr Tan is my Dentist for life.

This is an efficient, friendly and welcoming practice. All the staff are pleasant and there is no need to be nervous they put you at ease straight away. I have been a patient at this dental surgery for a number of years and Jonathon has been brilliant at looking after my teeth. I highly recommend this practice.

I highly recommend the Guildford Dental Centre, all of the dentists, receptionists and dental nurses I have met are welcoming, friendly and professional. Dr Tan is an extremely knowledgable, kind, gentle and caring dentist. I had a root canal procedure carried out, he explained each step as he went along and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. The aftercare over the last couple of months has been above and beyond my expectations with regular emails to check on how I was doing. I am glad to have found such a wonderful practice. Thank you for looking after me so well.

The hygienist, Szilvia, put me at ease about my treatment. She explained the process in a relaxing and calm manner. Would not hesitate recommending her.

Mohammed Butt

Dr Tan is amazing, I am someone who is petrified of the dentist. Dr Tan has made me comfortable in coming to the dentist and thank goodness everything is good. I can’t recommend the practice or Dr Tan enough.

UR

Uta Roggendorf

I cannot recommend Dr Tan highly enough. I went to see him for a second opinion following a dubious diagnosis by my previous dentist. I had a gum infection which my previous dentist suggested was due to a broken root filling which was holding up part of a bridge. She told me I needed the bridge to be replaced by implants. Dr Tan quickly assessed that the root was completely intact, it was a superficial infection which he treated effectively by removing the infected tissue. His experience, knowledge and caring nature are quite unique. My only regret is that I didn't find Guildford Dental Centre sooner!

SO

Sarah O'Callaghan

Dr Tan is an exceptional dentist. Having visited two other dentists who both wanted to remove one of my molars which had an infected root canal and place an implant, it was so refreshing to find out Dr Tan said he could save the the tooth. Dr Tan spent 4 hours in total over two appointments and rectified my infected root canal, for which I will always be eternally grateful. Dr Tan is extremely gentle and considerate and talks you through the procedure as he works. The team are very warm and friendly and make you feel at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Tan and his team to anyone including my family and friends. Having moved away from the area I still travel back to Dr Tan for my dental treatment, would not trust anyone else.

Adina Havard

The best hygienist I’ve ever met. I thought I lost her, then I called a few practices after being told she now works in Guildford. Sylvia is here!! Booked an appointment straight away and I am happy again. She’s very knowledgeable, honest, and I trust her advice. If you are reading this, I have already changed my toothbrush and it is marvellous. Thank you Sylvia and the very friendly reception staff!

Szilvia Hygienist has been the best Hygienist I have had in the last 35 years. She discusses your oral Hygiene and explains what she is doing. She is calm and patient and very skilled. I have never felt any pain and she is conscientious in her work and carefully examines your teeth and mouth. She is easy to talk to and has a friendly manner. I can comprehensively recommend her to you as someone who look after you and care for you.

Excellent service provided by their dentist Ali while performing root canal for 2 of my badly broken teeth. I was worried about pain and suffering but his work and skills made me at ease and comfortable which I was very satisfied with.

Mr Tan is fantastic! I would highly recommend this gentle, caring and excellent dentist. I had my first adult filling today (at the ripe age of 41) and I didn't even feel it, I look like I have a new tooth. Mr Tan is thorough and very kind. Highly recommended.

DH

The staff are warm, welcoming and helpful. I was able to get an appointment very quickly after calling. The dentist (alli) who saw me was very honest and experienced. He was able to explain in detail my condition and even suggested it's not urgent so I can wait before doing treatment. No hard sell.

ER

Emma Rush

Outstanding service! I cannot recommend Dr Tan & his team highly enough. I urge any nervous patients to seek treatment under Dr Tan’s care without hesitation. I was a very anxious patient after a very bad experience at a another dental surgery where they told me I was beyond help. How wrong they were! My faith in the dental profession is restored thanks to Dr Tan and his amazing team. I had a pain and stress free root canal treatment on a very tender tooth, under conscious sedation, and I have never been happier. Thank you SO MUCH!

JM

James Muller

I had an emergency over the bank holiday weekend. Dr J Tan was absolutely amazing! He repaired my tooth within an hour and also gave me some great advice. He was very friendly and caring. Amazing service!

I would definitely recommend the Guildford Dental Centre. Everyone there is very welcoming and professional. Jonathan Tan is a very reassuring and understanding dentist. He performed an extraction and throughout the procedure reassured me and made sure I was comfortable. I am an extremely nervous patient and can not thank Jonathan and his dental technician enough for their understanding, reassurance and expertise. I am so pleased with the treatment I was given. Thank you.

Lynn Holton

I have been a patient of Dr Tan's for many years and cant speak more highly of him and his dental work. I have recommended him to friends and they are all very happy in his care.

Always a positive experience at Guildford Dental Centre. Treated with courtesy, kindness and the utmost professionalism at every appointment. I have been a patient of Jonathan's for some years and feel confident that his advice and any subsequent treatments will always be what is right for me.

KE

Kath Easthope

I can’t recommend the Guildford Dental Centre highly enough. Somewhere between being 14 and 44, and for no rationale reason whatsoever, I developed a pathological fear of the dentist. I didn’t go for years until I came across the Guildford Dental Centre and Dr Jonathan Tan. I can’t say I’m now a cool customer and no longer have ‘the nerves’, but everyone at the surgery, from the team at reception, through to Jonathan and Trevor, are completely brilliant and so incredibly professional. They will do anything to make you feel comfortable, are calming, patient and frankly just marvellous at what they do. I’m now a long-term regular because of how they treat and look after you. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone – nervous or otherwise.

J

Jane

I have found everyone I've dealt with at the Guildford Dental Centre to be friendly and helpful. In particular, Jonathan Tan has always been very good to me and has put me at ease, especially so when he took over dental work that another dentist had left unfinished, namely a root filling and an extraction which needed an implant. The implant was in a difficult place but Jonathan achieved it and I have every confidence in him as a dentist. He helped me overcome my nervousness, especially when it came to having impressions taken. If I've phoned up with a problem he has always phoned me back promptly and reassured me. I would definitely recommend this practice.

I have recently had root canal treatment, bridge and crown. Both Jonathan and Terry provided a great service. Jonathan was extremely professional in exploring options when dealing with a difficult treatment. He ensured that i was comfortable and pain free throughout the procedures.

I am a very nervous patient when it comes to dental work and recently experienced first hand the expertise of Jonathan and his team.

Thank you!

The Best Dental Care Around. Terrance and the team are utterly professional and kept me relaxed throughout the whole procedure of my route canal treatment. The practice is spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you :)

I had two of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr Tan. It was a painless surgery and I did not need to take any painkillers afterwards. There was no swelling and my gum healed very well. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Tan for any dental treatment.

Herman Tan

I'm Herman,Australian, I had two teeth(25 26) that had problem for many years, in Melbourne, three ordinary dentist and a specialist dentist all said that my tooth root ware seriously infection cannot be treated and the teeth must be extracted, my friend recommended to UK Guildford Dental Clinic, I sent my tooth Xray to Dr; Jonathan Tan he told me that my teeth didn't require extraction and he could treat the infection to do root canal, after communication he arranged an appointment for me. Last week I went to UK to see him, I only had to visit him once for approximately three hours, he did root canal well done, now both my teeth and gum are fixed. I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Dr; Jonathan Tan to anyone, He is a professional and brilliant dentist.

Stephen Pilbrow

Hi I would just like to say a BIG thank you to Jonathan Trevor and Hilary, between them they have restored my faith in Dentists. I never thought that going to the Dentist could ever be so much fun. Jonathan and his sidekick Trevor are very professional at what they do and they make the whole experience as pain free as they possibly can with a good sense of humour thrown in. Hilary is the icing on the cake, she is the first person that you see when you arrive and the last person that you see before you leave and she is a Gorgeous and very caring young woman, and in my opinion an essential part of the team. Between the three of them they make a visit to the Dentist as pleasurable as humanly possible. I could not recommend Jonathan Trevor and Hilary more highly than if they were my own family. A very sincere thank you Steve

My wife and I are long standing patients at Guildford Dental Centre. Terry McNulty is excellent - I cannot praise him highly enough. I have recommended him to many friends and they all have good things to say about their experience at the practice.

The Benefits of a Dental Water Flosser

Maintaining optimal oral hygiene requires more than just brushing your teeth twice a day. While brushing is crucial for cleaning the surfaces of your teeth, it often misses the spaces between them and along the gumline. This is where interdental cleaning becomes essential and is why dental water flossers are becoming increasingly popular.
