Fantastic surgery, really helpful lady on reception, listen to your concerns, I was seen by Dr Thiara on a short notice because of increased pain in my tooth, he not only did a wonderful job in sorting my tooth but also explained brilliantly the cause of pain, really appreciate their help and highly recommend to everyone.

Firstly, I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit that before going to see Dr Thiara in August I had not seen a dentist for nearly 25 years. Like for many people, the thought alone of visiting a dentist was overwhelming and it made me feel very anxious. After months of pain with one of my wisdom teeth, I was advised to contact Wollaton Road Dental Practice to ask for help.
Dr Thiara called me personally and he was extremely calming, he explained clearly what was going to happen and he was very reassuring. The practice is extremely clean and Dr Thiara and the staff were kind, considerate and most

Dr Thiara is very good at making you feel comfortable and at ease. He explains very clearly and patiently his findings and what he's going to do next. He will not push for any intervention to be done unless is really necessary. He's very keen to make you take extra care of you home hygiene-routine and this approach works very well for me and my wife (Prevention-vs-Cure approach). Highly Recommended.

A very friendly practice. I am a nervous patient but I am always put at ease by them all. Great service, always get back to you and always give you a reminder call for your appointment. Extremely clean with measures put in place through Covid.
