South Coast Implant & Cosmetic Dentist and Dental Learning Centre

I had a root canal treatment today done by Octavian and from the start I had the feeling I’m in the right place. The treatment was explained very well and was carried out with great professionalism. Strongly recommended!

I have every confidence in South Coast Dental Specialists. I am half way through my dental treatment plan and I have been very happy with the care that I have received so far. Every part of the treatment is carried out with rigorous attention to detail, especially with regard to hygiene. I have also had all the plan carefully explained to me so that I clearly understand each part of the treatment. I feel at ease and well looked after.

Simon Ellis is a brilliant restorative dental specialist. He pays particular attention to the finer detail and works with you to achieve the results you want. He is patient and kind, constantly checking to make sure you are comfortable with the treatment taking place, always putting the patient first.The whole team work together like a well oiled machine and the rapport he has with his dental nurses ensures the patient experience is the best it can be. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this practice to anyone.

I recently had a follow up visit so that Octavian could check that all was well after my extensive root canal work and subsequent crown. It was good to be reassured that all was good and to see it on the x-ray. Always a pleasure to visit this practice. Well presented premises and friendly staff. Easy to find and parking on site is a real bonus!

Was at South Coast Dental from May – September 2023 for a tooth implant.I’m rather a nervous patient for any dentistry, but Josh and the team made me feel comfortable and very well looked after.Equipment and process seemed very modern, professional and thorough. Josh very clearly explained all the different options available and gave excellent advice. Really got the feeling that we picked the solution that was best for me, not the most expensive or easiest to get me off the books as quickly as possible.Appointments were available at times that suited me well. The only thing that was not possible to book in was a dental hygienist appointment.Great after care, regularly checking that implant was healing well and fitted nicely.Dentistry work is never cheap, but I felt I got good value for money here.All in all, very good experience. Highly recommend.

Josh has been fantastic, looking after me for the past year. Josh has taken so much time and care to ensure my teeth not only look great, but feel great too. Josh has always put me at ease, and his warm, relaxed and professional approach has eradicated my previous fear of the dentist! I have been lucky enough to receive care from one of the best in the country, and will even miss my visits!

I was extremely nervous after a 3 year break in dental treatment. Referred to Taw for gum issues and my treatment was excellent. He was very patient with my anxiety and the treatment resulted in much improvement. Highly recommend this spotless, thoughtful practice.

If I could give no stars I would as I have made a complaint about the awful ‘service’ I feel I have received at the South Coast Dental Practice in Dorchester. Following a referral from my dentist, I went for my consultation with Octavian recently regarding root canal work on a twisted root. Subsequently, I was then booked in for treatment yesterday. However, on arriving for the treatment, I was told by Octavian that he couldn’t now carry out my procedure but would still be charging me £200 for a temporary filling! Therefore, instead of treatment costing approximately £1,000, I would now have to have an implant costing in the region of £3,700!! Not a happy customer at all and am awaiting outcome of my complaint from the Practice Manager.

I’ve recently finished 6months treatment for composite bonding. Josh is extremely professional, friendly and funny. He put me at ease and explained the options and process throughout. The whole team from the moment you walk through the door were friendly and professional. I now how my confidence and my smile back. Thank you!

Unfortunately I had a few things that needed sorting, so I have had treatment from John, David, Octavian and Josh!! They were all very caring and I felt I was being treated by experts and my results reflect that. I must also mention the friendly, knowledgable efficiency of the receptionists, particularly Alix.
