After several locum appointments providing holiday cover in many different parts of Australia, I decided to settle closer to my birthplace. I have now been practising dentistry in Bristol for 22 years and I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, with a keen interest in Orthodontics using a variety of methods including clear aligners.
I particularly enjoy the level of experience I have obtained during this timescale as it enables me to confidently provide a high standard of care and advice for all. I have lived in the Southville community close to the surgery for 20 years, I got married in the area and my two children go to the local school.

Services
We ask our patients to fill out an opinion survey anonymously if they wish to make comments regarding our provision of dental care. After years of avoiding the Dentists chair through fear since childhood, I was recommended Kit for his patience with anxious Patients. 16 years on I continue to visit, now also with my children.

Dr Kit Merrill was fantastic when I saw him, but I have been disappointed with the service since then. Very difficult to get through to anyone on the phone which meant I missed an appointment, and then was refused an appointment after I’d made a (very polite) complaint about being charged for it in advance. A pity because I thought the actual dental care was great.

I never have anything bad to say about the team at Beech Tree. Kit is the perfect balance of friendly and professional - he always takes the time to explain any procedure and makes sure that you are fully informed on all your options so you always feel happy making a decision. He's been great at sorting out my wisdom tooth trouble as well as working on getting bridges just right for me. Sharon on reception is very kind and helpful, all the nurses are friendly and relaxed - it makes for a great atmosphere. I'd recommend to anyone who is at all nervous of dentists. Whilst they are a private practice

About a year ago I was unhappy with a previous practice as I was still in some discomfort despite costly treatment. A friend recommended Beech Tree Dental Surgery. Kit Merril treated me swiftly and professionally. I am extremely grateful that I have had no pain or discomfort at all since. Would totally recommend.

I was very impressed with my first experience as a patient at Beech Tree Dental Surgery today. Dr Kit Merrill was friendly and professional and he patiently took time to explain his process and go through his findings with me, including the xrays. The facilities were clean; the other staff were professional. Overall, I would highly recommend their dental services.

After years of avoiding the Dentists chair through fear since childhood, I was recommended Kit for his patience with anxious Patients. 16 years on I continue to visit, now also with my children. He is caring, reassuring and thorough. His Team are also very welcoming and caring. Myself and my children do not fear or suffer any anxiety when a check up is scheduled, it’s a friendly catch up, oral check up and clean.

Kit has been my Dentist for two decades now, he is the best Dentist I have ever had. I stuck with him when he started up Beech Tree, and I am happy to say my treatment has only got better. Kit is no longer NHS, so his interests aren’t with filling quotas, but in providing his clients with very good health care at a fair price. He’s a real gent, always upbeat and welcoming, able to put anyone at ease when they are in his chair. The rest of the staff are also very friendly, and I’ve never been kept hanging around in the waiting room. I hope this surgery has a long and prosperous future.

I have been seeing Kit the dentist for many years now after having the drill n fill dentist from childhood. My teeth aren't great but with Kits advice over the years I have managed to nurse them along and even improve gum health. The man knows his stuff and runs through all the options and just gives advice with every visit. Past work has just been top notch and outlasts the eventual failure making extraction clean and pain free as I am right now! If you want a good dentist then look no further is all i can say.
