Another 5/5 experience at Cuckfield Dental today (25/7/2024). Broke a molar tooth while eating lunch - OUCH! Needed a filling. My dentist Laura Dinsdale is really good; always friendly and professional. I have a lot of confidence her. She listens and explains too, which is great. Must say thanks also to her assistant on the day Lou. I’ve been with Cuckfield Dental for several years now, all the staff I have encountered are pleasant and very helpful, so a big thank you to all!

I have been coming to this dentist for a number of years, and always been well looked after by the whole team.Laura is so lovely and always puts me at ease. She and her nurse assistant ( sorry I don't know her name) turn what could be an anxious experience into one that is more relaxed.

Hi. I just had my teeth whitened. The ladies were very helpful, and I am very happy that I have some nice white teeth. Thank you.
Dear Amanda It is nice to hear you are pleased with your whitening treatment and the ladies were helpful. Thank you for your 5 star review.
I've been having continuing treatment for an ongoing issue, where I needed the tooth extracted. This has been painful and upsetting. However, Laura and the team have always made time to see me, make me feel better, and show empathy on each and every visit over the last six months. Nothing is too much trouble, and I can't thank them enough for looking after me 😊
Dear Charlie Sorry to hear you've experienced an ongoing issue with your tooth, it is nice to hear Laura and the team have looked after you throughout and it is now sorted. Thank you for your kind words which we will pass on to Laura and the team who will appreciate your feedback.
