Phillip Sommereux and Associates-Dental Surgeons

I had a check-up and hygienist appointment. Very efficient as always. All staff are very friendly. Covid arrangements were very reassuring.

I have been with this practice for the last thirty-odd years and when I retired to Wales, despite the very long distance, I chose to remain with them. This fact speaks for itself!

I recently had a root canal and filling, ( done through a bridge I might add) and carried out by Phil. This is a long procedure but as ever, it was done brilliantly and I had no pain at all. Phil is an exceptionally talented dentist Technically but not only that. He also possesses a wonderful calm reassuring manner. So important when you climb into the dentist's chair! I would not consider going anywhere else.

Had four fillings earlier this week - very professional and equally as important painless free visit. Very COVID secure felt safe and cared for big thank you to the whole team.

I have been a patient at Philip Sommereuxs Dental Practice for many years. I have just had my first appointment since the first lockdown. I was very apprehensive about my visit due to Covid and the close nature of dental check-ups and hygiene visits.

All the safety procedures were in place and as soon as I walked through the door this became more apparent. I have nothing but praise and appreciation regarding the strict regime Philip has in place both for his safety, that of his staff and myself. Cleanliness has always been at the forefront of any visit both before and during this pandemic.

I thoroughly recommend Philip and the staff at his practice.

Under emergency Covid circumstances the practice accommodated me with an appointment despite not being an existing patient. The staff were helpful, friendly and explained all Covid restrictions and procedures very clearly.

As for the dental treatment well I’ve lived in many countries and seen many dentists but I think Phillip surpasses them all. He was very calming, talked me through the procedure and checked I was okay throughout. He had such a warm disposition and this helped keep me calm throughout.

I would highly recommend the practice, staff and Phillip without hesitation and will be making this my dentist of choice for all future treatments.

Now that I have time... the Practice building is a converted corner residential property in central Eastleigh that is easy to walk to if you’re a local resident or using Eastleigh’s parking. The interior and its layout encourages a sense of confidence that the whole Practice has operational hygiene at its forefront.

Well presented, and unhurried, clinical staff are willing to engage with queries about oral management away from the Dentist’s chair. Certainly, I’ve found it worth starting that off before reaching the couch, and as a result, now I understand a great deal more about my mouth’s interior and how to manage it on a daily basis. As a result, whilst I’m not a perfect patient when it comes to compliance, I’m definitely better informed and I know how to “up my game” to cope with the consequences of limited oral space and an imperfect line up of teeth!

Like a great many other people, I’m somewhat circumspect about the profession’s fees and its motivation to actively intervene which contrasts with the approach of hospital/primary care (non-dental) to watch and wait. Being in a continuing dialogue with your Dentist/Hygienist contributes to having control of the decision-making, when it becomes necessary.

I would score this 4 1/2, principally because rarely do I score any service at 5. Overall, it’s positive.

Great service. Super staff. Excellent dentist. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Six-monthly checkup and hygienist appointment. Excellent care is taken as always, with additional safety steps taken due to the COVID situation.

I booked in for a Panoramic X-Ray. It was reasonably good value I think.
I chose this clinic because it was local to me. The staff were efficient and the dentist was very thorough with his examination before the X-Ray. Afterwards, I felt that it would have been good to have it explained to me the possible treatment options that were open to me as a result of the X-Ray. As it was when I asked if I could have the treatment I was hoping for I was told I would probably not be able to have that due to not having enough jawbone but no possible alternatives were explained to me...maybe I ran out of time?

Implants

Service was great as per usual!

10 words make minimum restriction, not a great idea.

I have been going to Phillip Sommereux for over 20 years now. It’s just the best dentist, the way you get treated and the quality of the work is just amazing!

As usual, the experience here is very friendly and professional. Full and careful regard to COVID 19 protocols. Have been a patient here for over 30 years and very happy to trust dental care to Phillip and his team.
