Services
Trust your dental care to Upton Dental, and high quality treatment is a given. But what really sets the practice apart is the fact that we combine clinical excellence with a friendly, approachable manner. We always make sure the treatment we offer is carefully tailored to you as an individual - and take care to explain what we're doing in straightforward way.
Many of us have memories, perhaps held since childhood, of dental practices with a cold, unwelcoming atmosphere that seemed to make patients feel more nervous instead of less. Here at Upton Dental, Hennie and his team have worked hard to make our practice the absolute opposite of this unfortunate scenario.
The Upton Dental team of 20 staff members is very experienced in dealing with all kinds of dental issues and is always available to provide a helping hand. Through constant post graduate training and dedication to lifelong development, our professionals are always up to date with all the newest developments in dentistry.

Today I had a tooth rebuilt/filling. I saw "Kasia" who was incredibly kind and caring, right from the start she was very friendly, which took all the worry away.
You can tell a proper professional by the way they deal with you as a person. Throughout the whole procedure I felt no pain with "Kasia" and her assistant (who's name I wasn't given - sorry) taking great care. After the tooth was repaired I was asked how did it feel, any rough edges ? Again, taking the time to make sure I was happy before I left.
I would highly recommend "Kasia", her assistant and the Dental surgery to anyone. I cannot

I was in the area today and decided to sign up for hygiene, I was questioned in front of the front door by the lady from the reception, after calculating everything she said that the price for the cleaning teeth tartar, some needless visit before scaling and some insurance[?!], including about £160. It is not seriously to charge customers at such a cost, where other dental practice such a service charge maximum of £50 for this service, in addition, pressing unnecessary services forcibly.

Fantastic service , the staff are superb and very friendly. Just had my first visit in just over a year due to the covid crisis . The efforts the practice has gone to to make you feel safe is brilliant . I thought it would be a straight in and out with very little feedback due to the present situation but I was totally wrong . Victoria my dentist was her usual professional self giving me advice and showing me X-rays to give me more information. Brilliant service couldn’t recommend these guys enough .

I had always dreaded going to the dentist but I have always been completely satisfied with my treatments here. The reception staff are friendly and efficient. My dentist Hennie has a very gentle and kind demeanour and always puts me at ease. He is an excellent practitioner and I no longer fear my dentist appointments.

On arrival was asked to answer questions on paper while sitting in rather pleasant waiting room - overlooking garden outside, light and airy. Then spoke to a dentist about having an implant. Had scan and was shown photo images of inside mouth and was explained possible procedures. Initial consultation was free and was told that quote for my treatment will be ready and posted in 5 days. Overall the staff was professional and pleasant to talk to.
