Great team! The difference in service from the NHS is unbelievable! Full consultation prior to 3D scan followed by a comprehensive breakdown on what needs doing and costings. They work with you and your budget on what can be achieved and over what period of time.

Finding this dental practice feels like 40 years too late for me but we are working through my dental issues with success, this is easiest the best dentist practice I have dealt with.Always a positive experience. And that's coming from someone who has never had great dentist experience since a kid.I always feel welcome from the minute I walk in to the reception to the minute I leave the treatment room. Never feel judged. Just find it easy to follow their instructions and get the results required.I travel an hour and half to get to this practice, so sure I could get a dentist closer to home. But I am more than happy traveling because I find the team easy to work with.So credit to everyone involvedKeep up the good work

Caring professionals!I was really nervous about my extraction, but Philip and the lovely dental nurse were calm reassuring and informative throughout the process. The nurse made sure I was feeling okay before I left, she was excellent! Trudy Receptionist was lovely too.

I was completely devastated on Saturday 20th December when my temporary cap on one of my incisors broke off. My own NHS dentist was closed and I called Dorset Dental Clinic in desperation and the young receptionist who was really lovely and empathetic arranged for me to see Mr Philip McCauley that afternoon. She was frontline and amazing. Philip McCauley was so kind and understanding and although there wasn’t much tooth left he glued the temporary cap back on for now. Being this is a tooth in the front it was traumatising to think I would be toothless for Christmas and my birthday just after. But huge thanks to Philip for helping me in my plight albeit a temporary measure. I can highly recommend the services of The Dorset Dental Clinic from receptionist, dental assistant right through to the consultant Mr Philip McCauley Cannot thank them all enough

Amazing. Had some really bad experiences with dentists but at Dorset Dental Clinic they have put my faith back in seeing a dentist. The work that they did was absolutely amazing and the whole experience was incredible. Thank you so much for your expertise

Mark Davison

All very efficient, reassuring and professional. I had an implant done at a different surgery many years ago, over 15 years ago and the technique has improved hugely and a lot less intrusive. The initial operation was quicker than my first implant, I think the whole process took less than 45 mins. Good explanation of subsequent medications and post operative care.

Excellent care and adviceI had a long overdue trip to the dental hygienist today.I was concerned that it would be painful and uncomfortable, but the care and advice provided could not have been better.The atmosphere of the practice is warm and welcoming, and the dental hygienist explains any procedures undertaken and how to best continue looking after your teeth at home.Would strongly recommend.

Dorset Dental Clinic fitted me in quickly when part of tooth came away. Can't recommend highly enough. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. A very happy surgery.

Denise LNS

05:46 14 Nov 25

Very pleased with Kate the hygienist and treatment i received. It was thorough and gentle. She explained every step and I felt the teeth were the cleanest they had ever been. The comparison between the hygienist at the old practice was so far better, I wouldn't go back to the old hygienist.

Pat Overton

Dorset Dental Clinic is impressive. Smiling staff on reception; always a good sign.I have been a happy client of this practice for a matter of only a couple of months but I was so impressed on my first 'emergency' visit that I signed up as a client immediately.Mr Philip McCauley efficiently rectified an issue I had with an elderly Dental bridge of some years standing. He could so easily have said it was old and needed replacement. But, he didn't. That was impressive and encouraging.Today I had my first checkup and hygienist appointment with Mrs Kayley McCauley. My mouth, teeth, gums and tongue were given a thorough checkup by Kayley, followed by xthree xrays of areas of possible concern. I left the practice feeling lighter, brighter and looking forward to my next checkup in January. 5*****.

Greta Nevines

09:02 18 Oct 25

I had an amazing dental hygiene experience with Kate! She was incredibly gentle, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease. She explained everything clearly and gave me great tips for improving my oral care routine. My teeth have never felt so clean! Highly recommend!

56 years of tears, panic attacks, running away,, £1000's spent only to be ripped off sometimes. Then my sister recommended this dentist and I'm wondering why all dentist can't be like this. The only trouble is now my family are laughing at me for falling asleep for the whole procedureI can't thank you enough you are all absolute legends

Peter Doyle

11:43 25 Feb 25

From the initial consultation back in 2019 to date, the quality of treatment has been exemplary. Professional, caring and overall excellent service. Amazing team and definitely the best dental treatment I’ve ever received. Would definitely recommend them to others.

Graham Warren

16:27 06 Jan 25

I never thought I would write a review praising a dentist. I was a grown up baby absolutely terrified of dentists. I would literally shake and make myself ill just sitting in the waiting room. However, I found Dorset Dental Clinic who actually listened to my fears and have now totally transformed my look. My teeth were so bad that it took a 5 hour operation under anesthetic to remove the lot and completely replace with new. The work is now complete and it has added a level of confidence and wellbeing to my life. So I thank you Phiip and all your team for a fabulous relaxing journey that has literally put a smile on my face! Graham

I have recently been treated at Dorset Dental Practice for specialised treatment. All the staff were friendly, reassuring and professional and made me feel at ease completely with the treatment I required.My tooth extraction was painless and I felt well informed about the after care.I can't recommend Dorset Dental practice enough, from the experience I have had so far.

Emma Pavlou

19:13 11 Dec 24

Very kind and caring with, probably the most anxious patient they have! Had been dreading my treatments. The hygienist was amazing. Mr McCauley was wonderful.

Steve Martin

13:22 02 Nov 24

Excellent and very professional service. I have had one implant carried out by DDP and every part of the operation was a smooth and seamless procedure. Mr McCauley and the staff at DDP made me feel relaxed and stress free throughout and I would use their serviced again, should I need them. Thanks.

Having been recommended Dorset Dental by my son I can honestly say that it's the first time in my life that I don't mind going to the dentist. Fabulous treatment from Szusanna and have also just been fitted for an anti snore mouth piece which I will be testing tonight! Great service and team.

I had a full set of permanent implants and fromstart to finish the service was amazing. So happy with my new teeth and even happier I can now eat the pork crackling on my roast dinner. Can’t thank Philip and the team enough for what they did for me. Fully recommend them.

Deborah Searies

09:10 29 Jun 24

What a great dentist! From start to finish everything was explained step by step in a very calm and relaxed environment. All the staff are helpful and very friendly.

Julie Tyhurst

I had 6 teeth removed and a number of implants. To say I was petrified is an understatement. The care I received was outstanding. Philip is an amazing dentist and all his team are caring and looked after me so well. I now have a smile again and I can’t thank you all enough

Mehmet Somay

10:47 21 Jun 24

I cannot recommend Dorset Dental Implants highly enough.Philip and his team were always kind and attentive whilst being very professional.There was some discomfort, but as promised never pain !!They even took the trouble to always book the treatment room where I was most comfortable (I am 77 years old with a dodgy knee !)I would certainly not hesitate to return for any treatment or care I might require in the futureI love my new implants and can now eat properly as well as constantly smiling at people 😁 !!Thank you All !!Gillian

Angela Beuden

14:56 15 Jun 24

I have had two implants with Dorset Dental, one requiring an extraction. The service I received was first rate. Everyone there is always so pleasant, helpful and kind. The implants are so good that they are undetectable from my natural teeth. I would definitely recommend Dorset Dental to family and friends.

Ella Evans

08:09 15 Jun 24

5 start service. Absolutely amazing team and love the results of my treatment. I can’t believe I waited so long to get my implants done. If you are nervous or not sure book the consultation, they will calm your nerves.Big thank you to the team for looking after me.

Amanda McMaster

09:25 06 Jun 24

It’s been a long journey to get the smile I have always wanted, but with the help of the fantastic team at Dorset Dental Clinic, I have achieved it. I have had implants, Invisalign and composite bonding to get the natural look I wanted, all with them. So professional and knowledgeable.They really are a lovely team from the moment you walk in the door. I can’t recommend them enough.

Paulina Mason

08:14 10 May 24

Without any doubt Dr McCauley and his team are the finest in Dorset. Dr McCauley has resolved serious dental problems for me, where other dentists have been unskilled in delivering complex treatments. There is literally nothing he can’t tackle whilst ensuring aesthetically pleasing results.

❗❗❗ALERT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE FOREIGNERS❗❗❗I came across this place, as my tooth was moving following an implant that was done a few months ago, and it was needed to be fixed.The doctor that saw me was that manager of this surgery. The first question that he asked me where i am from and where the tooth was done and how much i payed.He was not able to get the tooth out, therefore he started to proceed further but he did not explain me what he was doing and if i was agreeing to what he was doing and that he damaged my tooth.Furthermore, he took an x tray and said that i will need to came back to do again the tooth.I came out of the cabinet with the tooth fixed temporarily, but after a few weeks fall out.I left the dental surgery, with no explanation and i have been told that " has been fixed". And i have been charged with £100 for what?!I have been in this country for over 10 years, but i have never felt this way. Please if you are foreigner avoid this place.The reception and the dental nurse assistant were friendly and kind, but the doctor terrible.

15:18 26 Mar 24

I was looking for a practice that I believed would do a good job at replacing my 12 year old crown. I had my initial consultation with Ben where he explained the process and gave me a quote, I then had two further appointments one for the removal of my old crown where a temporary crown was fitted and the second 2 weeks later for my new crown. Firstly I was extremely pleased I was able to get Saturday appointments, Ben made me feel at ease, happy to answer questions, I’m happy with the final outcome and have become more confident with my smile. Would recommend. Thanks

The first time since I was 17 that I have had a kind and considerate dentist. As my teeth were in poor shape and I had a costly but ill fitting part plate ,I decided to have full mouth implants.After extensive measurements X rays etc. The teeth were fitted under anaesthetic in 1 session.They are fantastic and a real life changer.Obviously they are expensive and require maintenance but the pleasure of eating properly and smiling spontaneously make.up for it.All the staff are professional and caring and the practice, though small , has a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Huw Moore

17:49 13 Feb 24

I was very pleased with the dental implants. There was a slight problem with one of them but the speed in which it was resolved is testament to the team, and the first class service they provide from the initial consultation to the final fitting. A very professional team who make you feel very welcome and take great care to ensure they understand your needs and that the outcome is as you would want, Thank you all very much, I am delighted with my implants.

Peter Doyle

08:14 25 Jan 24

Quite simply the best dental experience of my life. I felt and continue to feel I am being treated by the best team possible.My treatment touched on just about every department in the practice and the care provided, the service and professionalism across the board has been fantastic. A brilliant and well led team. Thank you.

Christine Travers

I can highly recommend this clinic for all specialist implant and other dental services. Both my husband and myself have had treatment at this clinic and are both very happy with our treatment and the cost which we found to be very reasonable.Philip and the team are so helpful, professional and just brilliant! I booked in for full denture implants and our journey together from first X-ray to completion was carried out with total care and professionalism. Philip took so much care in the surgery through to final fitting. The end result is just amazing and has given me so much more confidence and the overall appearance is just perfect. Five Stars doesn't seem quite enough!

Carole Johnson

17:10 17 Nov 23

My treatment is not completed yet and will take a few more months. So far I have been very impressed with my treatment from the initial consultation and the implant surgery that I had. Everyone at the clinic is very professional and the surgeon Dr Philip McCauley is I would say very experienced at this type of surgery having done apparently 6000 implants. I would not have any hesitation to recommend this practice to friends.

Elaine Lawford

James Gare

15:02 09 Aug 23

Top notch service. They are very professional and went out of their way to make me comfortable with the process. It was really much easier than I thought and would not hesitate getting implants again if I needed them. Really pleased with my new teeth.

I have had remakable and sympathetic treatment from when I first met Philip for my implants some years ago. The Hygiene Therapist has worked with me to look after my teeth to a far better condition and the equipment is bang up to date so not much discomfort any more.I highly recommend both the dental and hygiene sectors.

James

19:14 23 Feb 23

Absolutely outstanding first class dental assessment. As always, I was concerned about costs but after meeting the team and going through the assessment I'm happy that I will be receiving the best clinical services for the money I'm spending.

I had a consultation with Dorset Dental Implants to enquire about veneers and implants.The staff where very knowledgeable and explained in detail the process and options available.There was no hard sell to push expensive options and listened and advised on all my questions. For me veneers were recommended based on condition of my teeth (not deteriated enough for implants) which was also the most economical.Thank you so much for the time spent talking and your expert advice.~ Andrew ~

Major dentistry is never going to be a pleasant experience, but the team at Dorset Dental Implants were gentle, friendly and efficient (and the results very pleasing); I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Very nice lady at the reception who took me to the waiting room and offered me something to drink.My dentist Zuzanna is a very smiling person with a professional approach. Everything was explained to me very thoroughly. During the first meeting, a careful check-up was done, a scan of my teeth, and thorough cleaning. I have also received various samples for my use. I recommend this dental clinic because of its cleanliness and great staff.Julia

Stu Clarke (Stuy36)

19:40 19 Dec 22

I have never liked going to the dentist and for the first time in 50 years i can honestly say i don’t mind going to this one! From the minute you walk in everyone is super friendly and talk to you in very down to earth and unrushed manner! The treatment plan was explained clearly and every step of the way i felt looked after, I really like the fact the team rang me the day after the first part of my implant treatment to see how are was doing which i thought was tip top and made me feel valued and looked after. Philip is very good at what he does and he has built a very good team around him. So i recommend the practise 100%

I had a fantastic experience during my recent visit to the dentist. The entire team was kind, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. Not only did I feel genuinely looked after, but the service was also great value for money.A special mention goes to the receptionist, Kasia – she was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful, she's a true credit to the company. Thanks to the excellent care I received, I’ve decided to move back to this practice instead of staying with my current one. Highly recommended

Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting at this practice were so lovely to me, they all made me feel at ease throughout my treatment. Everything went smoothly, everyone was so professional and I’m really happy with my new tooth and finally feel confident to smile again.

I visited Dorset Dental Clinic for the first time and I was overwhelmed with the whole experience. I was so impressed with the professionalism of all members of staff who were courteous and helpful. There is no comparison with all of the dentists over the years that I have visited. I would have no reservations in recommending them to anyone and have already given their brochure to a close friend. Thank you Dorset Dental Clinic I look forward to starting my treatment with you.

I broke a molar and was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t find a dentist anywhere so I tried these guys… I left a message and they got back to me within an hour. The lovely receptionist booked an appointment for me later that afternoon. The dentist then phoned me too to get more detail about my tooth problem which was a nice touch.I saw Shannon and her nurse who were incredible. All three ladies were very professional and extremely caring.I live over an hour away from Dorset dental clinic however would have no hesitation in going back there and am seriously considering using them all the time… They really were excellent. Thank you DDC…I have also just received an e mail from them with all the detail of my treatment including the picture of the x-ray they took so I can pass it on to my dentist to help him know all the information. Incredible service… Thank you again Shannon and the team.

Also, I'd always return to Philip if I ever needed another implant - perfect! The whole team at DDC are first class!Nige Price (NHS GP)

Had my first consultation and was made to feel very much at ease. Lovely friendly staff and the information given was in depth and very clear. Absolutely no pressure at all to sign up for treatments and no upselling which was refreshing. I have already decided based on my consultation and all of the information given to me, to go ahead with treatment. So I'll review again after my next appointment. Actually looking forward to visiting the dentist! That's a first!!

The appointment I had was very informative and well presented for what I am looking for. The young lady in particular "Charlotte" was also very helpful with explaining and exploring various treatments and applications available, am certainly mulling over them for the time being.

This is my first ever visit to a dental facility. i didn't really know what to expect as it was apparent i couldn't "run away" from the dentist any longer.Right from the entrance, i was warmly welcomed. i felt i was visiting a friend i hadn't seen in a long while. This feeling made me more relaxed, while being attended to by a member of staff.This initial consultation went well as the staff patiently took me through available options specific to my issue, the fees (though kind of high), and the payment plans, assuring me that the surgery would work with me on whichever option i can afford to take.No regrets, though.

Absolutely wonderful staff and place, professional and friendly , they really know and care as explain and know about how teeth and gums can affect your overall health when many places I've previously been don't know as much or advise you all this and I know it's right as I studied it and been through experience myself. They have the latest technology also. Can't wait for next appointment....and I've never said that to a Dentist before. Also doing free consultation s at present so worth getting cleaning /dentistry or implants plans. Glad I found this place.....beautiful staff beautiful building beautiful teeth doesn't matter how good or bad you think your teeth are here they care and sort it and tell you everything and best for you health wise too. Well impressed

When I arrived the staff were very friendly. They made me feel at ease. Everything was explained to me, and I was given time to ask any questions I wasn’t sure off. Definitely having implant done here.

Everyone at the clinic is very kind and competent, and I’m pleased with the final result from Invisalign and an implant, but it’s not trivial, and I wish there had been more honesty upfront about everything that’s involved before the first non-refundable appointment.Wearing retainers for life (3 months full time then reducing to nights), nearly two years full time in aligners, which you have to take out to eat or drink, but are supposed to wear at least 20 hours a day, and are made more visible by attachments cemented onto almost every tooth after (acid etching to make them stick), a metal button with elastic band between jaws for a while. The whitening was painful so I gave up.If you really want your teeth done, I’m sure Dorset Dental is one of the best, but perhaps we should normalise wonky teeth instead?Pics are before, during and after

Highly recommend Dorset Dental. Have had three appointments with Zuzanna and she is so gentle, careful and constantly asking if I am ok or need to pause. She is so skilled and knowledgeable giving excellent treatment and advice.

Excellent first class service from start to finish. I felt extremely at ease. I had two front crowns replaced. The process took only a fortnight to complete. Benjamin and Kasia were very professional throughout with a kind and caring nature. Everything was explained to me as the treatment took place and Benjamin was very gentle. The reception staff were very polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend. Thank you so very much.

I have just had a Consultation with Philip for a tooth extraction and implant. He has already fitted 2 implants for me in the past and having already experienced his skill and professionalism, I feel in very safe hands for this next procedure. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and also very reassuring about the whole process. I’m very grateful and really appreciate their excellent service.

I came for a check up and hygiene appointment and had a truly lovely experience. The practice is very modern and chic and the service I received was top tier! The dental therapist I saw, Shannon, made me feel so at ease by talking me through what she was doing at every step. She was very professional and personable which made the whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. In fact, every member of staff I encountered was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and I will be coming back again!

I needed 3 fillings and Shannon made me feel at ease for all 3 of them. I had to come back for another session to complete the final two but as Shannon was so calm and professional throughout my first appointment, I was not worried to come back for a more complicated filling. I was really happy with the end result, the white fillings mean they aren’t noticeable and Shannon has done such a great job I don’t even notice I had any. Shannon was polite and friendly throughout the process and reassured me and made me feel comfortable at every step. I will definitely come back to see Shannon for any future dental appointments!

Highly recommend the Dorset Dental clinic. Had hygienist appointment with Ankitha which was fantastic. I'm usually very nervous visiting the dentist especially for a hygienist appointment but was put at complete ease and enjoyed the whole experience! Great service and treatment. Thank You Dorset Dental.

By far, the best dental clinic I have been to in the south. The staff here are very professional and knowledgeable, they take the time to explain things very clearly and politely. Dr. Mccauley who treated me recognised that I needed urgent care and was able to treat me quickly. As someone who is terrified of needles (and dentists generally), he was very understanding, trustworthy and helped me to feel relaxed. The service here has been impeccable really, a much higher standard than anywhere else I’ve been. I would definitely recommend Dorset Dental Clinic.

I saw Kayley for a routine check up and hygiene therapy this afternoon. I felt at ease quickly and was throughly impressed with everything from start to finish. I left with some very helpful advice and a clear understanding ofthe next steps for follow up treatment. It's the first time that I have used a private dentist, as opposed to the NHS, and the quality of the treatment and advice was definately superior. Happy to recommend!

Had been 3 times in Dorset Dental Clinic, and I highly recommend Kate the hygienist who was very diligent start to end. She explained what to expect before starting and carefully described each procedure on the go. There was no surprises, and no rushed or abrupt movements. I was also seen by Zuzanna the therapist and Ben the dentist, and all have been great, always a friendly atmosphere, high professional standards and amazing nurses.

The team at Dorset Dental are warm and friendly. On this visit I had an extraction and an implant fitted. The procedure went well, I experienced no pain during the procedure and, following the instructions for aftercare had no problems whatsoever. I would thoroughly recommend this practice.

Far and away the best dental practice I've ever been to! Superb, expert treatments using the most up-to-date technologies. They can do things other dentists told me weren't possible! Really. And they are super nice!

Karina Harker

11:20 03 Oct 23

Wow what an amazing experience I'm so nervous of the dentist and had put off going until it got to the point I couldn't. I found this dental practice by chance as I rang around on a Saturday for an emergency appointment and I'm so glad I came across them. Kayleigh, Phillip and Karima and all the other nurses there are lovely and talked me through everything. The hygienist clean with the best of the best tools they use was the most painless I've ever had...and they had a lot to clean after 3 years putting off the dentist. My teeth look amazing after 1 treatment. Also the decor in there is lovely and welcoming. Actually looking forward to going back and getting my teeth back in top top condition with them.

I am in the middle of a treatment plan and so far so good. From the outset all the staff are nice and the dentist explains options in a clear , friendly way. I can give further comment on the completion of the required work but I am confident there will only be a good outcome. Many thanks.

I have been visiting Dorset Dental Clinic for over a year now. With all my appointments being with Zuzanna, who is a dental therapist. She is fantastic at her job. Always making sure that I’m comfortable and aware of work that is needed. She’s also informed me and educated me on how to maintain proper oral health. I look forward to each appointment as I know I’ll be looked after and provided with the best care. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Outstanding dental practice, having hated the dentist since I was young, I found that the surgery was warm and welcoming offering a great pain free service , very professional and competent in their areas of practice. Having a full set of top fixed dental implants, the procedure was a simple pain free surgery procedure and has given me the confidence back in my smile .I would recommend this practice highly to anyone looking for the services they provide. Thank you to all at Dorset Dental clinic

I was unfortunately involved in an accident that knocked out my front tooth, meaning I needed an implant and a crown. Throughout the accident from the immediate to the following months, the team who work there were totally supportive and informative of the actions required and the overall process. With the professionalism and expertise of Dr Phillip and Dr Ben, I was able to get my smile back, looking even better than it was before at the best price I could find. Definitely highly recommended!

Debbie Bartlett

Brilliant, at every stage my treatment has been explained to me and carried out professionally and cheerfully. I started with aligners to correct the position of my teeth, with an implant after and then 2 veneers. Would definitely recommend Sara Belo for aligners.I get lots of comments now saying how good my teeth look. Thanks to everyone at the practice.

Dorset Dental Clinic have just completed the fitting of five implants to fill gaps in my teeth, in both upper and lower jaws.The process took a few months from start to finish, but I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. The staff are completely professional and reassuring, and the most up to date technology is used throughout. I live over an hours drive away and visited the practice five times.I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

From the moment I arrived at Dorset Dental Clinic I felt comfortable and knew I’d made the right decision. Sarah explained my orthodontic treatment plan very clearly and I left feeling confident I was in safe hands. My husband who is a dental technician not associated with the clinic was also very impressed. I would highly recommend.

Love this place, very professional and always willing to help.Been here a few times now and in my experience of dental treatment from a patient aspect (yes I have a few fillings) this clinic is by far the best. Walking into the practice confirms this from the numerous example of awards placed on display they have achieved from dental ceremonies taken place. Well done guys and girls

I am a retired dental surgeon with a long experience of how dental surgery should be performed. I chose to ask Phil McCauley to look after my mouth after I retired because I knew of his high reputation.I would like to say I have absolutely no regrets having made my choice. He and his wonderful staff have looked after me with great skill, understanding, compassion and respect.For anyone seeking for a reliable practitioner, I can’t recommend this firm highly enough.Many, many thanks to the whole team.Dr. Alan Wilson
