Previously at Cheriton I had a very caring dentist, who retired. I felt quite nervous about this change, however my new dentist Maria has been amazing. She has spent a little time getting to know me and really takes time to explain procedures and options. Recently I had a long root canal procedure. Maria was so gentle, thoughtful and efficient, she constantly checked on my welfare. and the tooth has settled down really well. She also managed to fit me in for an emergency with an hours notice! I can't speak highly enough of my dentist, the dental support staff and those on reception. If you are looking for a dentist, particularly if you feel nervous, then this is the place for you.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent dental practice!! Everyone is friendly helpful and highly skilled. I've been a patient of Gavins for 25 years and during that time have never had any problems with the staff or the treatment I have received. If you are considering implants Carmen is amazing!! I recently took the plunge and am delighted with the results! I can highly recommend Cheriton!Posted on Google![]()

I was eating my lunch and suddenly my dental bridge came out which had been fitted some 20yrs ago and pannick,what to do now.I immediately rang Cheriton(Sheila)and an appointment was arranged at 8.50 the following morning.I was then welcomed. by Andy and following showing him the offending bridge that it had not failed but the teeth they were affixed to had broken. He then proceeded to clean up the area and suggested adding to my existing denture , Impressions taken by Andy I then returned to Sheila at reception and she rang the dental lab and arranged them to be collected and the additional teeth added by the next day. I was contacted the next day and the denture was fiitted. I was so very impressed with the attention and professionalism of all of the staff at Cheriton particularly Sheila who went the extra mile. My sincere thanks to all the team.( Should be 6 stars not 5 ) Regards Paul PoyntzPosted on Google![]()

Dental implants. I had two teeth that were broken replaced with dental implants. The service and care I got from Carmen and team was fantastic. The whole process was very professional and thorough with everything explained. I hope I don’t need more teeth replaced but if I do I’ll definitely be calling Cheriton .Posted on Google![]()

I recently had an appointment with Maria, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. After a disappointing experience with my previous hygienist, Maria was a breath of fresh air—no pun intended! She was kind, gentle, professional, and took the time to explain everything, making me feel completely at ease throughout the appointment. Her friendly manner and attention to detail made what can often be an uncomfortable experience genuinely pleasant. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for an exceptional dental hygienist. Thank you for restoring my confidence in visiting the dentist!Posted on Google![]()

The entire Cheriton Team are absolutely brilliant. The reception team have always made myself and my mum feel really reassured in our dental appointments and have gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, especially Sheila, Tracey, Shelby, Emma and Rachel. My dentist is Dr Maria who has always been very kind and such a perfectionist and very thorough. My mum has Dr Frankie who is also incredible! I have had 2 wisdom extractions by Dr Andy who was also amazing. I also want to mention that the Hygienists are amazing too! Thank you so much for everything! Best dental practice ever!Posted on Google![]()

Frankie and Becky were lovely. I’m a very nervous patient and had a filling today, nothing like my awful childhood experiences, I feel confident now in coming back to the dentist now. The Receptionists are also really lovely. Wonderful practice.Posted on Google![]()

I had a very difficult extraction. Andy was excellent in removing the problematic tooth and I am very grateful to him. You all at the Cheriton Practice, from Sheila and her colleagues in Reception, to the nurses and dentists, are a credit to your profession. Simon is first class and we are so glad we followed him when he joined your team some years ago. Robert Martin and Alan Reade.Posted on Google![]()

Shelia the receptionist at Cheriton, is always exceptionally friendly, professional, and welcoming. From booking my appointment to checking in on the day, everything was handled efficiently and with a smile. Shelia was fantastic and went out of her to get me a same day appointment to save me coming back. Thank you Shelia! As well my credit goes to all the team especially Gavin and Nikki. They’re always very welcoming and put you at ease. Fantastic team and Gavin is a fantastic dental professional. Top team at Cheriton and couldn’t recommend enough.Posted on Google![]()
