First appointment
Me and my husband had our first appointments today at the westbury branch. The reception team were so friendly and helpful, thank you Amy and Helen.
We were seen by Ashwathy and Kerri who were also so lovely. They explained and showed me exactly what I needed to have done and why. There was no pressure to have the treatment done straight away (I’m very nervous) so all booked in in the coming weeks.
This is such a lovely dental practice where everyone we encountered was so helpful and kind.

I came in today for 3 fillings I had dentist athul
And nurse sheri with me and they both reassured me that i would be alright and wouldn’t feel any pain and helped me stop panicking about having it
Ashilla is the best
I’ve been an NHS patient at @southcliffdentalgroup at Gosport for many years, and they have always been courteous and professional. Recently, I needed a few fillings, and I was treated with exceptional care by Ashilla and her team. Ashilla explained the procedure clearly and made me feel completely at ease with her professionalism and calming manner. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for quality dental care.
Ayesha
I saw Ayesha who was really good, offered to do a small filling for me and was amazing and kind with my little girl who was quite nervous

Lovely staff very helpful got me an appointment within the next day for a Checkup 100% recommend
First class dental practice.
Never at ease at the dentists, being a 1960's child when anaethetics were not the norm. If only dentists were as good then as they are today at South Cliff Dental in St Leonards. Special shout out to Mags, who whipped out my rotten molar in lightening fast time, without any pain & then gave my teeth a thorough clean. Highly recommended by me !
Check ups
Went in for a check up and was seen on time and staff were all very welcoming and friendly Dover branch

Message to Sahil
I met Sahil, the hygienist at Southcliffe dentist in Cliftonville, for the first time on Wednesday 19th November '25. I just want to say that he was very kind and he thoroughly cleaned my teeth & now they look so nice..all stains removed.
Poor compqny
My experience working as a dentist IN 2023 at South Cliff in Westbury was unfortunately very disappointing. During my time there, I often felt unsupported in terms of the materials and resources needed to do my job properly. I also faced ongoing issues regarding payment, which left me feeling undervalued and frustrated.
I hope that future improvements can be made for the benefit of both staff and patients, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this workplace.

A Smile Restored at No Cost
I have to say South Cliff Dental Practice in Dover is one of the best dentists that I have encountered
On arriving at Dover over a year ago with nothing in hand and compromised my first appointment the dentist noticed some damage to my front teeth that I had from the age of 21 years - they were my front teeth and I was bothered about it and it affected my smile - now at 58 years and having my photograph taken quite regularly I smile with confidence as that first dentist offered to cosmetically fix my front teeth and I had no funds at the time
I have to say as I was going through a lot at the time I was so happy and a few days later a friend took a wonderful photograph to celebrate my new look
Bilal, Melis , Marcia
Saw Bilal, hygenist and Melis, dentist and Marcia at St Leonards practice.
Wonderful service, polite, punctual and treatments were done to a high standard.

The young lady is very pleasant and tends in putting patients at ease.This I find very helpful special for patients who are squeamish about the dentist !
Supportive therapist/nurse!
I was incredibly nervous for my appointment, but all staff were very helpful at Southcliff Westbury. A huge shoutout to Athul and Charlotte who both made me feel at ease. They were reassuring and supportive despite me being worried and tearful. Thank you so much Athul and Charlotte!

Non-Clinical staff
wanted to take the time to review the St.Leonards practice’s non clinical team, in particular, I wanted to mention Marcia who is always so delightfully friendly and accommodating. Due to my own stupidity I had to rearrange dates of 5 family member’s appointments. I was a difficult customer, but Marcia was super understanding and was extremely patient when trying to find alternative dates for us all. She assured me that she would call me back with a solution and true to her word she did. Thank you to Marcia and the rest of the team for being so helpful!

Shambles of a dentist.
They messed my mouth up royally. All the temporary dentists they had were like going from the frying pan to the fire. Travelling dentists doing the rounds who can’t hold down a permanent residency.
The rotation of staff and “managers” is horrendous, this is the biggest red flag anyone should need to avoid this place like a case of the c..p
Very unprofessional. They thought they done me out of a full refund by only agreeing to a partial amount. But I got the bank to reverse the transaction so I actually come out on top financially.
Sadly, effort, time, pain, agony and mileage? - not so much.
The dentists for south cliff also use their chair for private work too, “after hours” and “break times”. Which explains the extended waiting times.
They wanted me to believe the practice manager was this lady who couldn’t string a legible sentence together due to poor English? She was “manager” five I think in my time there, and receptionists? easily double digits.
Refusing to answer the phone several times too. Disgusting customer care. Just another practice that’s there for the money with minimal expenditure. Including hiring family friends as “managers”.
