St Stephens Dental Practice

This practice is exceptional. I highly recommend Tom Buckland who fixed a broken front tooth of mine which occurred during an accident a couple of years ago. Prior to the appointment I was very apprehensive about how it could be fixed and what it might cost. Tom was immediately reassuring, the result was such great value and it was a seamless repair. Recently through looking at old photos and using my mouth guard I noticed the tooth wasn't exactly the same length as before the accident. I doubt anyone else would notice ever but I have very low self-esteem about my appearance and wasn't in a good place generally. This was stressing me out a lot. I returned to Tom for advice and again he was so reassuring and understood my concerns. He fixed my tooth further, they fitted me in super quickly, and I am so happy with the result! I trust this practice and am really grateful for their advice, honesty, generosity and kindness in approach. Thank you :)

Best dentist i’ve ever been to. Im a uni student so not a canterbury local but I had an infected wisdom tooth come up early October 2021 and this was the only dentist that could see me on that day. Am so glad that I found this place and have been going here ever since. Tom is the kindest and most gentle dentist I’ve ever seen. First time I went I was in absolute agony and my jaw was barely able to open due to the swelling and pain, but Tom was so careful and didn’t force my jaw open which other dentists have done before. Every member of staff i’ve encountered have been absolutely wonderful and so friendly. Can get appointments pretty much always on the same day as calling or within the next few following days. Such a lovely little dentist and I will be sad to leave when I return home after uni 😢😢😢 Thank you all at St. Stephens for making this nervous dental patient genuinely enjoy coming to see you.

Friendly staff but terrible availability. If you are lucky you can make an appointment two months from now. That appointment will only get you in the chair for five minutes. If any work needs to be done you are welcome to come back two months later.

Best dentist ever. I had a numbing sensation on my lower jaw. The doctor ordered an xray and marked as urgent. So we got the report by the next day. he then immediately referred me to a NHS specialist. They found a large cyst and it was removed. This was all during the pandemic. Thanks to the Dentist's speedy action, i was saved form serious nerve damage.

I have been going to St Stephens Dental Practice for some years now, Tom and the team always make me feel cared for and give me honest advice and options for treatment when needed. After some quite bad experiences I am so glad that I found this lovely dental practice, they have made me feel confident to visit the dentist.

Martin is very easy to talk to and he listens to any queries. He is considerate and understands that I am a very nervous patient! I have full confidence in him.

Such a good team. From the moment you walk in, everybody is approachable and friendly (the receptionists and the dental team!) Tom always explains everything so well, including all the various options available. You always know what to expect. They are an excellent practice! Would highly recommend!

Really pleased with my check up. I hadn't been in a while but the dentist, Martin, was very calm.

The dental practice is small but efficient and has good social distancing measures, and even an old dental chair in the waiting room.

It is well worth the cost as you only get one good set of teeth for life!
