Charlbury Dental Practice

A calm setting, friendly receptionists, and gentle healthcare team. Everyone here goes the extra mile to make you feel at ease, and well-informed. Lots of good information and advice available, a range of options for treatment. The practice is well-managed, the premises beautifully kept and it is a calm but well-organised place to be. After I began coming here, my children and husband signed up too. We've all been really pleased with the treatment & care we've had. There's plenty of parking too. There may be other practices that are a bit cheaper (I don't know - I haven't compared) but the bottom line is we all feel so much more comfortable here than we have at any other dentist in the past. And that's not so easy to put a price on!

Another great experience yesterday at the Charlbury Dental Practice. COVID measures were brilliant and myself and my family felt incredibly safe. The whole team are all so lovely and welcoming, thank you as always to you all, you work so hard and it’s not unnoticed!

I have been going to Charlbury Dental Practice since I very first had teeth! That's about 27 years. I almost feel like I'm visiting family whenever I visit for an appointment. The receptionists Lesley and Lou are so lovely and always ask after me and my family. It is a pleasure to go to the dentist at Charlbury and I have never had a bad experience - as a result I have absolutely no anxiety or fear of the dentist. I have been with Kam as my dentist ever since she started at the practice some years ago. I fully trust her advice, dental care and support. She is always friendly, kind and empathetic, and ensures my teeth stay in the best condition by giving me honest feedback and advice. After following her cleaning advice, my teeth are in visibly better condition, both to me and to her at my last appointment. I last visited in July 2020, shortly after the practice reopened from Covid-19 lockdown. The whole team made me feel fully at ease being at the dentist during a pandemic - everything was cleaned down thoroughly after every customer use (chairs and surfaces in the waiting room and entire appointment room disinfection), hand sanitizer was provided and all staff & patients were wearing masks (bring your own to avoid the (understandable) £1.50 mask fee). The necessary coronavirus questions were asked with compassion and our mental health and wellbeing during lockdown was also enquired about, which I really appreciated. My whole family have been travelling from the other side of Oxfordshire to get to Charlbury Dental Practice for almost 30 years, because the experience is always so good, and we trust the care and advice of our dentist Kam so much. It is worth the trip!

Over the last few months I have been seen on a number of occasions by Bhavin Patel who, in my view, is extremely good, both clinically and in how he explains his thinking. it has always been a pleasant experience. I have only given 4 stars merely because I think 5 stars imply perfection which I believe no clinician could achieve. So I am very happy to recommend him.

In the past I have been a very nervous patient at the dentists, but that has all changed. I can't recommend the staff at Charlbury Dental Practice highly enough. Lesley, on reception, has always been warm, welcoming and extremely helpful and has made a real effort to remember me and my children. Bhavin Patel is excellent: he explains things clearly and goes into as much (or little!) detail as you need, and is approachable and very reassuring. I felt respected and in control of what was happening to me (as far as you can be!). I had my first filling with him, and then today an extraction, and it was all fine and very manageable. Far better than I could have imagined. A big thank you to Bhavin and his wonderful dental nurse Alix. It's still not a fun activity of course, but going to the dentist no longer frightens me.

I saw the hygienist Elena first who was the height of professionalism and kindness. She was quick and efficient without making me feel rushed and provided useful advice. I then saw the dentist Bhavin. Again ,he was the height of professionalism and kindness and went above and beyond the call of duty. Explaining in absolutely understandable detail the current state of my teeth, what was possible and what was advisable. His passion for his work was hugely engaging, but he did not allow his own interests to interfere with what I needed. I have worked as an educationalist with dentists around the country and the world, and I can honestly say that today's experience was very impressive indeed. Well done Charlbury Dental Practice

I used to hate dentists so much that I gave up going. However, my teeth needed a little help. Reluctantly I thought I would try this dentist as it was highly recommended.
Everyone were friendly and relaxed. As I entered the room my dentist and dental nurse were lovely. I was becoming more and more relaxed. I was told what was happening at every stage. I chose what music to listen to. Nothing was rushed.
I am so pleased I no longer have to hide my teeth.
Can't thank them all enough.
I travel 2 hours to visit this practice, that is how happy I am with them all

Thank you for my recent treatment at Charlbury Dental Practice ...I had to have a damaged tooth removed...I do have a fear of injections so was not looking forward to the procedure at all.
Dr Bhavin Patel carried out the procedure after he had very carefully explained what he was going to do.....
I was apprehensive especially re the injections, but I have to say, I was amazed how well it went, yes it was uncomfortable, but I didn't feel real pain or fear during the procedure.
I have been a patient on and off for many years when I have been in this district and the treatment I have received has always been excellent...I have no reservations about recommending being a patient there......
