Southgate Dental Practice

I have been taking my children here for over two years and have always been extremely happy with their treatments carried out by Dr Risoli and the hygienist. I recently had an unpleasant experience with my own dental practice and so decided to see Dr Risoli as an emergency patient. I had a very thorough check up of my entire mouth and had my broken tooth fixed at the same appointment. Dr Risoli is a very calm, friendly dentist who inspires confidence and always explains exactly what is needed and what he is going to do. The practice is lovely and clean and all the receptionists are really welcoming, friendly and efficient.

Now as you know the dentist can be an overwhelming experience Dr Carlo and his team are truly amazing.

I had 2 mercury filling removed and replaced with the white ones and a normal filling and I was nervous to say the least. I was kept assured every step of the way, I felt comfortable and relaxed which made the treatment all the more manageable.

The procedure took a couple of hours which is to be expected but I was delightfully pleased with my results.

To keep this brief, with my fear of dentists bordering on a phobia, You can only imagine my terror when I was forced to find one due to a collapsed tooth.
I was fortunate enough to find Dr Rizzoli, this guy is a legend. He is incredibly knowledgeable with a level of expertise which is off the scale.
he did a fantastic job of root canal and crown . of all the dentists I’ve tried over the years, Dr Rizzoli and his practice tick all the boxes,
Highly Recommended
Thank you so much.

Dr Carlo was exceptionally professional, attentive and kept me reassured throughout the process (2x filling replacements). Dr Carlo went above and beyond to explain the process and aftercare needed following the procedure. He was gentle and thorough and showed a genuine care towards my wellbeing. I've been going to the clinic for over 2 years and cannot recommend a better service from the reception staff, through to the hygeinest and dental nurses. Highly recommend.

I have been using Southgate Dental for a while now and every time I visit I promised myself to not go there again. Every visit was complete un-satisfaction.
1. They are so many oriented. Will not spend extra 1 minute on you unless you pay for it. They try doing their job as quick as possible but don't care about the quality much.
2. Every time I take my kids there to check up, it takes dentist to check their teeth in 2 minutes. It is like, sit on the chair, open your mouth, quick look and job done. For every small thing, they refer you to hygienist which I used twice. Both times they couldn't even do good job on it. And today was the last drop when they were counting the minute because we were a little bit late to appointment and receptionist said to me you lost 7 minutes now. It was half an hour appointment and we missed first 7 minutes and hygienist will stop as soon as 23 minutes done. Their eyes are on the clock when they are doing the job.
So today is the last drop and changing the dentist.

Good day in the Dentist Chair; on thursday I was struggling with toothache on one of my back wisdom teeth. On Friday I was seen at 8.30am, by 9am the tooth was extracted via recognition of tooth decay. Thorough check up, xrays of the problem tooth, and injections and extraction with only a mild pain experience....and I mean very mild. I have been seeing Carlo Risoli for many years now and a few years ago he had made up a plate for various teeth. It is an exceptional fit, strong and good looking. On top of that Carlo said today that at the time a couple of years ago he recognised the limited life span of this wisdom tooth and set up the plate fitting to be anchored on the tooth in front next to it ! BEST DENTIST EVER.

Like many people I have always had a genuine fear of dentists, probably going back to childhood experiences. However, Dr Risoli was amazing. He demonstrated empathy as well as expertise. For the first time I didn't feel like a disembodied set of teeth. Dr Risoli took the time to discuss in detail my planned care and even showed me my x-rays. I feel totally confident that I am at last in the hands of a Dental Practice that really cares about its patients. Thank you to the whole team.

A brilliant dental practice. I've been with Carlo and his team for more than 25 years. Even though I now live more than 70 miles away, I haven't changed dentist. Very friendly, very professional, fantastic receptionists....5 stars all round.
