EXCELLENT Based on 74 reviews Posted on Laura ScarffeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have always been very pleased with our care at Bridge Dental Clinic. Dr Jorge is extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly, and he and the rest of the team have made the experience of going to the dentist far less daunting than it had felt prior to joining Bridge Dental. We had to temporarily (and reluctantly) stop our care at Bridge Dental when we relocated to another part of the country, and it didn’t take us long to realise we would rather travel and continue our treatment at Bridge Dental because the care and service really is exceptional. We have every confidence that our family is being well taken care of here. We have no hesitation in recommending the practice; to be able to attend our routine appointments with confidence that our experience will be positive and in the best interests for our health is priceless. Thankyou Dr Jorge, Dr Sabah and all the team.Posted on Joe ScarffeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Sabah and Jorge at Bridge Dental Smiles highly enough. I had previously been taking my son to a local dentist that actively promoted themselves as specialists in treating children, but the level of care Sabah and Jorge provide is genuinely on another level. The difference was apparent straight away, not just in their clinical approach, but in how they communicate. They are exceptional at explaining complex dental concepts in clear, calm, and easy-to-understand ways, which makes a huge difference as a parent and, more importantly, for a child. One of the things I really disliked about our previous dentist was their tendency to present worst-case scenarios with little explanation or evidence, which only created unnecessary anxiety. Sabah and Jorge never do this. They are always positive, balanced, and practical in their assessments and recommendations, while still being thorough and honest. Because of the trust they’ve built and the standard of care they provide, I am more than willing to travel several hours each way to ensure my son is treated by them. That alone says everything. If you’re a parent looking for genuinely outstanding dental care for your child, I would strongly recommend booking in with Sabah and Jorge at Bridge Dental Smiles. Your child will be in the very best hands.Posted on Angus WardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thank you to Jorge and all the team at Bridge Dental for your fantastic support during the last 6 months during my treatment! Your service from the front of desk staff, nurses and dentist is professional, friendly, supportive and caring!! Thank you so much again. AngusPosted on Jodie FeehanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly what a dental practice!!! I had had severe tooth ache for a full 7 days wanting to smack my head off a wall that bad of pain, my NHS appointment advised me I needed a specialist and would be a 6 month wait...After advise on how good Bridge Dental were I made a call to the absolute Angel Fran who totally understood me, sympathised with me and i felt she went above and beyond to help me get seen by Dr Jorge! He saw me the very next day and did what I needed done. I really cannot thank everyone at Bridge Dental enough for literally saving me life and so quickly too. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any form of Dental treatment. Thank you Fran team. XxxxPosted on David NortheastTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a three hour drive to get there, but it was well worth it! I have never had an experience like this at the dentist. The receptionist seem to be really enjoying their job and we’re very friendly and treated me like I have been going there for years. The dentist I had explained every single step of the way what he was doing and did a first class job. It was so refreshing, and nothing like any dentist I’ve been to for many years. I cannot recommend this practice enough and I am quite prepared to drive the three hours to get there at any time.Posted on Jackie EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a friendly, cheerful and reassuring practice. The treatment I received was excellent with clear information about each step of the process. I would highly recommend Bridge Dental.Posted on Helen ArmishawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional care and service from this practice for many years now, in particular we are so grateful for the treatment our children, always taking the time to explain and answer any queries.Posted on MaxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about my dental implant experience. The entire team, from the front desk staff to Dr. Jorge, was fantastic. They made me feel comfortable and confident, and I am so grateful for their exceptional work. Thank you allPosted on Ana Lopes HaywardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with this practice for many years now and would not go anywhere else! 😊 Always welcomed by a friendly face, and the reception team always makes an effort to get to know you at a personal level and remembers little details about you, which makes the whole experience of coming to a dentist so much smoother. They are always really good when offering appointments and accommodating! I am always very confident that my teeth and gums are greatly looked after, as Jorge (dentist) and Sarah ( hygienist) are very knowledgeable, answer all my questions and always do a fantastic and throughout job. Thank you for the wonderful care and service you provide!
