At The Gardens Dental Practice we are committed to providing high-quality dental care to our patients. We aim to look after your teeth in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a simple check-up or to improve your smile through cosmetic dentistry & tooth whitening, we are here to help you with all of your dental needs.
I constantly strive to maintain the highest professional, technical and artistic standards, keeping at the forefront of modern techniques. I have particular interests in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry and endodontics (root canal treatment) for which I recently received a prestigious national award.
Hygienists are fully trained members of the dental team who are chiefly concerned with preventing and treating gum disease by promoting good oral hygiene. Gum disease causes inflammation of the tissue that surrounds teeth and, if this is left untreated, it can lead to recession of the gums. This can cause pockets to develop as the gum moves away from the tooth and eventually lead to loosening of the teeth.
This patient was unhappy with her discoloured front tooth and the unaesthetic bonded repairs to her teeth. We undertook internal whitening and provided cosmetic bonding to get a great result with which she was delighted. This patient had lost his upper right central incisor and premolar due to historic gum problems.
Denplan Care - Includes restorative care from your dentist including fillings, root canal treatment, crowns and bridges (excluding lab fees).

Really let down. Dentists and assistants are wonderful every time but my experience with the receptionists has been poor.

I saw Matthew today for 2 unexpected fillings…what can I say..it was the most pleasant and painless experience!! Matthews nurse Jenny was very gentle with the suction, and I didn’t feel like I was being waterboarded as I have done in the past. Helen on reception was very warm and welcoming, and did her best to make me feel relaxed. The treatment I received was second to none. I shall be returning to see Matthew for sure . I highly recommend this practice.

Like many others I turned to a private dentist after being let down by my NHS practice.
After nearly 5 months of not getting my tooth fixed I was desperate to get the problem resolved.
Within 48 hours of contacting The Gardens the tooth was extracted and I'm no longer in pain.
I don't have any other experience as a private patient, but I would say the level of care justifies the cost and I would certainly use them again in the future.

We recently moved into the area and needed to say goodbye to our trusted dental practice of more than 20yrs and find a new one. A daunting task especially after such wonderful treatment for all the family over so many years! After much research and positive reports from trusted local friends, we opted to register with The Gardens Dental Practice in Dorchester and we are so glad that we did. From the elegant building, the very efficient and delightful receptionist team, the focussed hygienist team, the highly experienced and professional dentists and specialist dental surgeons, the Gardens Dental

My first visit was great it started with me messaging the dentist yesterday to see if i could get a emergency appointment. To me i could already see how polite the staff were. Then today i rung up the receptionist my god ive never met anyone more polite. She was so helpful and caring that i went through the procedure it was a uncomfortable experience but i got through it and im pleassed to give this review. The price not to bad but wont affect review ratings im to say this will be my dentist from now on hopefully. Thanks matt for the work you carried out.

It is a friendly and efficient practice from the receptionist to the dentist, which really helps if you are a little nervous of the dentist. I am new to the practice and have found the treatment of a high quality. This is a good dentist.

My family moved to this practice a year ago and have all received incredible support from the team. We are on the autistic spectrum from not too bad to arghhh! I can admit to turning into a complete wreck when it comes to visiting a dentist and had dreaded my first appointment. I have now had three appointments, two due to a rather nasty abcess. The entire team could not have done more to help me and my family and I am so grateful.

I cannot thank Jackie and Matthew enough for their incredible kindness and understanding in helping my daughter through her appointment. Their empathy with her situation made the whole procedure very easy and she came away feeling utterly secure and calm - not to mention having excellent dental treatment! Thank you both so much.

I am writing this review on behalf of my elderly father who doesn't have a Google account;
"I had a wonderful experience at The Gardens Dental practise , I was concerned initially about visiting due to the recent pandemic however, the practise was evidently managed extremely well, with all staff members adhering to the recent government guidelines.
I was seen on time, and was made to feel very comfortable and welcome. All employees acted in a warm professional manner offering an excellent service.
Look forward to visiting Matt and the rest of the team during my next routine appointment.
Thank

We highly recommend Matt Higginson and his team at the Garden Dental practice. He was wonderful with our 8 year old daughter when she had to have a tooth extracted. She was very nervous and a little reluctant. Matt was extremely patient and very reassuring.
I had a similar experience. On my arrival, the dental team were very professional, caring and efficient. I felt confident that I was in the best hands. Matt carefully explained the procedure and the complexity of it so I felt fully informed about it and confident in the treatment I was about to receive. I can honestly say it is the best dental
