Services
The dental team at the Village Dental Practice will continuously strive to provide only the highest quality dental treatment to our patients with uncommonly excellent personal service. Our ultimate objective is to help our patients obtain their desires in order to improve their dental health and to educate them concerning quality dentistry.
We understand that dental treatments can be costly which is why we have decided to make small, affordable monthly repayments available to all of our patients using our new interest free credit option. Regulated by the FCA and with a quick and easy online application with an instant decision it has never been easier to apply for finance!
Working within the local community is most important to the staff at the Village Dental Practice. The village Dental Practice are happy to announce we are now the proud sponsors of local under 9's football team Whickham Fellside. Dr Ghai and Dr Somal kindly kitted out the team with new football strips and training tops.
During my consultation Dr Ghai explained the procedure, what was required after the treatment and answered all of my questions, which helped put my mind at ease. Very many thanks for all your careful and expert work throughout the recently completed programme of treatment. As the recent bridge work settles down I now find I can eat and chew with ease all around the mouth- something I had not been able to do for some time.
As a general dental practice in Whickham, we offer all the services you typically need from a dentist, but with an emphasis on prevention and restoring your teeth so that they're fully functional. We would like our patients to keep their natural teeth throughout their life. At your initial visit a thorough oral examination will be conducted and we may need to take x-rays.

I have a dental phobia so could never say I enjoy going to the dentist, but Tom helped me get to a point where I no longer felt terrified and could get stuff done without sedation. I never had problems getting an appointment, the reception staff are friendly, and the place its self is spotless. I don't think I appreciated it enough until I moved away and am now stuck without a dentist, having to rely on 111. So I highly recommend, especially if you are nervous.

I recently moved to Whickham Village Dental Practice and have not been disappointed . Definitely 5* service from start to finish. I’ve just had some cosmetic dental work done and am over the moon with the result!!!!! Can’t thank Akash Ghai and his dental nurse Sarah enough! To say I was nervous is an understatement, they went above and beyond to reassure me and make me feel at ease anyone thinking of having work done I would 100% recommend them 😁

So happy to return to this fabulous dental practice today! I made the mistake of changing dentists when I moved away and have had a few problems elsewhere. Village dental were able to provide me with an emergency appointment and get me back on their records. I’ve signed up for the dental plan and now feel like I’m back in safe hands. The attention to detail in the dental work carried out, and the care and consideration provided by all the staff is so noticeable and makes all the difference.

Dreadful, I went today at 3.50 for a 4pm appointment, then listened to some poor young man saying he had a check up in April and came today for fillings but was told plans where changed and he had to pay for a another check up (joke) omg . He thought he was coming in for his fillings (crazy) then apparently young girl called my name ????? Please check your cctv.
I’m absolutely disgusted , I also had the pleasure of dentist for 5 minutes and £21 pounds and no work.
I’m am absolutely disgusted , I wish I’d taped it all
Good bye

Another great experience at Village dental. After many bad experiences at other dental practices, I really wouldn’t go anywhere else. The staff are very friendly and their patient care is fabulous. I am in the middle of my Invisalign treatment and, as soon as it was safe do so, they had me straight back in, continuing my treatment. Well done to the entire team for doing such a grand job, at what is a rather difficult time.

I have been coming to his dental practice for years, and without fail they always go above and beyond during this pandemic they have called my mother and father who are also registered at this practice several times and even dropped easypicks off which they use regularly as they were shielding and could not get their. from the moment I call up the ladies cant do enough to entering the lovely practice which i must add is always spotlessly clean and i noticed the ladies spot checking and cleaning several times whilst visiting. Mr Guy is great even though i hate the dentist, with my parents also they

I have had a few dentists over the years but this is by far the best! The reception staff are lovely, friendly and knowledgable, they have really helped everyone to stay safe during COVID situation! My appointments always run on time, everything’s well explained and I look forward to seeing the results from my teeth whitening!

Incredible service from start to finish. I recently had a fall and knocked out two front teeth and chipped another. I chose this dentist as they were able to fit me in an emergency appointment on the same day and am so glad I did. I was fitted with crowns by Mr Ghai and the results are absolutely amazing!! They also have the option to pay for treatment 3 years interest free making the costs very manageable. I never write reviews but felt I needed to in this instance as I really cant recommend enough!!

Absolutely thrilled with the results of my replacement bridge and realignment of my front teeth. Treatment was carefully planned, excellently performed with beautiful results. I cannot praise Mr Ghai and everyone at Village Dental practice enough, everyone has been so lovely in making me feel comfortable and at ease with the procedures and all my visits! Also having the Village Dental Plan helped reduce the cost of the treatment. Very Happy
