Gum Surgery Oxfordshire

If you go here, there is a bell to ring rather than just enter the premises. Why the receptionist didn't just open the door when I was trying to get in I do not know. I went for a consultation to see what the best option was for a missing tooth. You pay before you go. The staff were friendly. The dentist is lovely putting me at ease, explaining what he was doing whilst teaching his staff at the same time. Nice manner about him. He then took the time to show me what options were available to me and how much each would cost. The clinic was state of the art, modern with the latest tech to make the job easier. The view was stunning. I would recommend the experience to others.

The dentists at Ock Street Clinic have been looking after my teeth for many years now. I am always pleased with the care, friendliness and efficiency of the treatment I receive.

I had a filling by Dr Rimmi Bhogal this week. Great service - calm, precise, a perfect job. A day on, I don't even know it's there. She has been my dentist for several years and is consistently excellent. The epitome of grace under pressure.

Apologies for the long story, but it's a worthwhile read. At 9AM on Sunday 13th March I was due to jump in the car and drive down to get married after a 2 year COVID induced delay. At 4AM that morning a loud crack at my mouth woke me up, and to my horror I realised my bridge had fallen out and I now had a tooth sized gap in my smile. At 7AM, after 3 rather stressful hours I called the emergency number on Amsel & Wilkins answering machine which was immediately answered by Nigel. After explaining my emergency, Nigel told me to meet him at 8AM and he'd fix me right up. Nigel opened up the practice just for me, on a Sunday morning, and by 8.45AM I was walking back up Banbury High Street relaxed and stress-free (well as stress-free as you can be before your wedding) with all my teeth in my mouth - rather than in my pocket. By 4.30PM I was tucking into pork belly and crackling like nothing had happened. A huge thank you to Nigel from me and my new wife for saving my smile on our wedding day, as well as from our photographer who you saved from many, many hours of photoshop. Finally, my bestwoman thanks you for the additional story for her speech, one that received plenty of gasps and laughter. From a very appreciative patient for life.

Dr. Charl du Toit is easily the friendliest, compassionate dentist you could ask for and clearly puts your oral health before anything else. I had been seen by another practice before a quoted £1200 for treatment, yet for the same treatment, he quoted almost half that! He then recommended a more conservative course of treatment with a clear rationale as to why it is worth trying (only one filling that time round, not 5) and not only gave good advice but again, provided a clear explanation of why it should be followed and how it works. To top it off he helped solve an issue that I've had for over 10 years (recurrent ulcers from playing the clarinet as I had very pointy canines) at no extra charge! He alleviated all anxiety I had about needles and possible pain and gave me full control over stopping if I felt anything untoward. The moment I made a sound (from the coldness of the water) he immediately stopped and let me explain. This is someone who is not only brilliantly skilled (I felt no pain at all, a slight chill was all) and an expert, but clearly is in the profession principally to help people. Not only was his treatment cheaper off the bat, but he also recommended a more conservative approach that may well be even cheaper for me.
