Visited this Dentist for the first time today and had a really positive experience with Dr Arjun. I would recommend to others in need of a Dentist in Gillingham.
Amazing service! All staff were very friendly and helpful. Finally found a dentist that I like and will continue to stick with now.
Went for a tooth extraction, never felt anything never felt the needle or the extraction, and it was literally the world fastest extraction ever , could not believe it on and out in seconds.
A first class experience and something I’ve not experienced before with my dentist. There was clear communication, punctuality, pleasantness and reassurance from the second I stepped through the door to leaving. So impressed by everyone’s professional and pleasant attitude.
Finally found a dentist that didn’t make me feel guilty and understood how scared I was. Dr Arjun was brilliant! Both him and his nurse Heni, couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Totally put me at ease, explained every step and were just amazing! Thank you so much.
Highly recommend toothcare dental in Gillingham. I’m a very nervous patient and they always make me feel at ease. All the staff are lovely :)
