Report
I cannot praise Simon and Nicola highly enough for their down to earth and empathetic approach to the illogical fear and unease I experienced at the prospect of an extraction. Somehow they transferred their confidence to me and it was all over in 5 minutes with no more drama from me and NO PAIN. Thank you and the rest of your team.

Report
I recieved a fantastic service from Oakdene. I was terrified at first after having a bad experience at another dental practice. Ian and the two dental nurses who assisted during several visits over the last five weeks were amazing and helped me through my fears. I can honestly say I never felt a thing. I must mention the receptionist who was friendly and welcoming and also helped me with some medical issues I have with following some of the covid guidelines so nothing was compromised. She is a star and also deserves 5 stars. Thanks Oakdene

Report
I have just had my first appointment in many years at this practice due to having a terrible fear of the whole dentist rigmarole. I have to say they were fantastic the atmosphere of the place really puts you at ease and the staff are friendly, patient and make you feel very welcome. The price quoted was very fair and I felt they were more interested in my needs more than the money. So far I can't recommend this practice enough.

Had to go to the dentist for a root filling and I was terrified Ian and his trusty assistant were fantastic, I felt like a Jelly inside but within a few seconds I was as cool as a cucumber and hand on heart I never felt a thing. To IAN and all at oak dean a great big thank.
