I am so pleased to have found this dental practice. I had a dental emergency and was in a great deal of pain and fear. The customer service and the treatment was of the highest quality and administered with a great deal of compassion. From the initial telephone call with Ali, I was put at my ease and reassured of their commitment to my care and dental needs. I met with both Nick, Anastasios and a most amazing dental nurse. This is a first class practice and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others - particularly if you find visiting the dentist traumatic!

Since moving back to Exeter a few years ago I was fortunate to find Dee Shapland Dental.
The reception team are most welcoming and very professional and immediately put you at ease. The quality of care I've received from Mr Nick Dee Shapland has been excellent. I recently had an emergency treatment and was extremely grateful and relieved (just before Christmas) to be slotted in, because of a cancellation and was most impressed by the efficient implementation of Covid protocals. Should you be a nervous patient I can highly recommend this Dentist Practice Dee Shapland Dental to you.

Having just registered at the practice I was very impressed with the service I received. The staff are friendly, polite & professional. I was made very welcome, the dental examination was thorough and time was taken to explain things clearly to me. Undoubtedly the best visit to a dentist I have ever experienced, so much so I am almost looking forward to returning to see the hygienist and Mr Dee Shapland again!

I came to live in Devon 2 years ago and had an awful experience here with a dentist in Exeter. Then I found the Dee Shapland surgery and I am so
happy with the welcoming and caring atmosphere created by the whole team. I have now had a few dental treatments with Anastasios and I have been at ease in all of them and I am terrified by dentists! Anastasios is calming and informative regarding the treatment my teeth require and then caring and gentle during the procedure.

What a relief to finally find an amazing new dentist! I was seen within a week as a new patient, had a thorough examination and was told clearly what treatment I would require. The covid procedure was explained and I felt very safe with all the measures put in place. Wonderfully friendly and professional staff made my visit pleasurable and I felt relaxed the whole time. I highly recommend this dental surgery and I no longer dread seeing the dentist. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Mr Nicholas Dee Shapland for over 15 years. I did not have confidence in the dental surgeons I previously had, but Mr Dee Shapland is so professional and skillful, explains clearly and simply what he needs to do (or has done) and puts his patients completely at ease. I have recommended Dee Shapland Dental to several other nervous people who have been so pleased and relieved to have found it. Nick and his wife, Practice Manager Ali, together with the other dental staff, are very friendly, lovely people who genuinely care about you as a patient. Having moved away from the

I'm a long-standing customer for 20 years or more and Dee Shapland Dental has always provided me with a top quality service. At every visit I am given a full examination and any treatment is expertly delivered with due care. I couldn't ask for any more and I would have no hesitation in recommending this dental practice.

I've just had a broken tooth repaired by Nick, and as always he has done a brilliant job. I've been going to the Dee Shapland dental surgery for over 30 years and the service and dental work has always been consistently of a very high standard. The team are excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. Highly recommend!

Outstanding team at Dee Shapland Surgery. All staff are extremely friendly and helpful. And the quality of their care and treatment is fantastic. My daughter recently had 4 teeth extracted and AP was superb. Made her feel so comfortable that there was considerable laughter coming from the treatment room. We have been patients for at least 20 years and I would highly recommend them
