Services
If you are travelling by train the nearest train station to us is Poole (5 miles away). There are taxis at the station or use the buses. Taxis will cost approx. 10-15. You can catch the free Poole flyer from the train station to the bus station, please leave an extra hour if you are doing this. We are situated close to the town centre just off the B3144 in what was the large Conservative Club building.
The consultation fee covers the first and second appointments, the treatment planning and any necessary X-rays that you may require. If you have implants it is our practice policy that you pay for these in advance of having them placed. We suggest that a good time to do this would be after the second consultation appointment.
Welcome to South Coast Dental Testimonials page we love happy patients. I am looking forward to receiving my new teeth and bridge today. I approached the prospect of implants with some trepidation because I thought it would be painful and difficult. Each treatment session has been virtually pain free and I experienced no problems afterwards.
Straightening teeth has never been easier or quicker than with the new short term cosmetic treatments available to us to improve the appearance of your teeth. If changes are required to the biting teeth then full treatment orthodontics are also available. When it comes to straightening your smile, South Coast Dental offers a host of different options, so it's important to know a little bit about each one so you can make an informed decision.
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and the treatment of oral inflammation. Periodontists often treat more problematic periodontal cases, such as those with severe gum disease or a complex medical history.
Periodontists offer a wide range of treatments, such as scaling and root planing (in which the infected surface of the root is cleaned) or root surface debridement (in which damaged tissue is removed).They can also treat patients with severe gum problems using a range of surgical procedures. In addition, periodontists are specially trained in the placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants.

I was referred to the practice from my usual dentist for a root canal treatment, I ended up blowing up the old filling & half the tooth a few weeks before the appointment so it made the repair work more complex. Octavian took the extra work in his stride and when I left with a root canal and a rebuilt tooth I feel like I could smile again. He took the time to explain the work and differences in root canal structures.
I had two nurses (one for the consultation & one for the repair work) both Jenny & Gail were great with their bedside manner. Having your jaw open for over an hour and having updates

A previous consultation at another practice had left me emotionally traumatised and it took me a couple of years to seek another consultation at a different practice for the implants I needed. From the moment I entered the South Coast premises in Dorchester I knew I would be in safe hands. Both Naveed and David explained everything clearly, were personable and professional and always made me feel at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending them. The customer service at the Practice is excellent. I can’t stop smiling at my new smile! Thank you.

All I wanted for Christmas was my 'two front teeth' and Simon Ellis and his amazing team certainly did that! The whole process took roughly a year and I felt really looked after by the whole team. Friendly, professional and a perfectionist right to the very end. I'm delighted with the results and haven't stopped beaming since! Huge thanks to the whole team for giving me back my smile!

It took five months from start to finish ..but I got my new tooth just in time for Christmas! And it looks lovely ( well: as lovely as the rest!)
It was all totally efficient, comfortable, covid careful, and rather expensive .. but I knew that. The most impressive thing was the dentist ensuring that the end result was "perfect" for me - which it was.. On a more minor note, but useful ..parking was good too ;-)

We cannot fault the patience and expertise of your consultant Simon Ellis, and thank him for being in for the long haul with my mother Gwen McKell-Davies. We wish you all a very peaceful Christmas with your family. Next year, hopefully will see mummy smiling broadly, out and about with her wonderful, natural set of dentures. Lets hope we are all smiling next year!

I came to South Coast Dental after having my front tooth removed earlier in the year and an unsuccessful bridge. I wished to have an implant and Fernando explained in great detail the procedure and time line.
I totally felt at ease and cannot thank him and all the other staff for their professionalism and kindness.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Dental surgery.
Thank you.

Posted by Sandy's wife Marie. I had a bone graft and implant placed at the practice. I was very pleased with the treatment received from Simon Ellis. He is kind, friendly, gentle and very professional. The whole procedure was totally painless. The reception and nursing staff were all very welcoming and efficient. Implant has now been in place for a year and has been a big success.

I was referred to Fernando with an advanced gum disease by my dentist. During my first visit, I was clearly and honestly explained the severity of the situation as well as the different treatments and options available.
Bearing in mind I was pretty upset by the news, Fernando treated me with utter respect and sensibility and followed up via email with a summary of that discussed in our visit.
I felt I was in very good hands so I agreed to start treatment straight away.
Unfortunately my next 2 appointments were rescheduled and one of them was a bit difficult to accommodate. Fernando went far
