Smiles 4 U

I have been coming to Jag’s nhs clinic for years. Brilliant dentist. Always kind and considerate - eg when I have considered other (private) work he gives an estimate of cost, which is really helpful.

Highly recommend Jag! Best dentist I’ve had.

I have a massive fear of dentists and I had a sensitivity in my tooth in December so I didn't do anything about it for a while, hoping it would go away with flossing. But then my lymph node got swollen so I knew I had an infection and couldn't waste any more time. Back then I didn't have an NHS dentist so I rang up a private dentist (House of Smiles). After doing an X-Ray they told me my tooth was dying, that I needed a root canal treatment and that it had to be done within the week or else I would get an ulcer in my gum. The total cost of the treatment was £1000+. They gave me antibiotics and urged me to take another appointment and give a deposit. I felt rushed and thankfully, I declined.

Without any private insurance, I panicked and googled all the NHS dentists around when I got a hold of Jag on the same night! Straight away his voice calmed me down. He had me in the next day and looked at the X-Ray and said he couldn't see the significant decay the other dentist mentioned. He ran an extra test on my tooth that the private dentist did not do (Electrical current) and concluded that my tooth was still alive, and that the infection was in my gum. He asked me to keep taking the antibiotics, making sure I flossed very well around that tooth, including using tooth picks. He told me to come back in 4 weeks to get a deep clean of my teeth & gum and that they would check again then if I still had pain.

And guess what, I followed his advice, and NO ULCER. My tooth is fine. My gum is fine. And I'm not out of pocket of £1000! So if you are one of these people that thinks private dental care is better than NHS dentists, think again ;)

I've been coming here for many years now. Jag is great and runs a high quality clinic. He has specialists on hand for a variety of needs from root canal to general hygiene and bonding (Hire is great). And Lena the reception manager is the best. Really caring and positive.

I have been using this dentist for a number of years. I am a really nervous patient but Jag has always been very kind, patient and always will go out of his way to make me feel at ease, also the Dental Nurse, receptionist etc. This is the first Dental practice I have been able to continue going to, thanks to the kindness of Jag himself.
I was very surprised to read the previous review (especially of Jag) I wondered if maybe it was someone else and you had the names mixed up?
Anyway I did not want anyone reading that review to feel that is how the Dental practice is because it is really not. I felt after reading that review I had to give my own, and my experience everytime has been of an excellent service. I would go to Jag everytime, never anywhere else. Keep up the good work that you do Jag!

I have been meaning to write a supportive review for more some time now but never got around to it. This dental practice and this dentist (Jagh) deserves the highest praise. Therefore I very pleased to see the review by Theboy Caleb (below) who has the same sentiment. I been coming here for almost 20 years and had excellent service and treatment throughout, ranging from simple fillings, to root canals, extractions, crowns and implants. Before that I had used many other practices and none compare. His recommendations are always impeccable, and as grow older and more work has needed to be done he has ensured the preservation of those earlier, ill-looked after teeth so I continue to have a full and functioning set. The consistency has been great, and recommend you shouldn’t pay heed to any petty one-off complaints.

I have been a patient at this dental practice for over 22 years. Before I went there, I had a fear of dentists, having had 4 teeth taken out to fit braces. Jag is patient, friendly and puts your mind at ease. It's not local for me, but even though it's 5 miles away by bus, I still go.

The dentists here have worked patiently and thoughtfully to help me finally have healthy teeth - they are the only dentists I’ve experienced who work towards prevention rather than always reacting to problems. The lady on reception is incredibly warm and friendly too!

The dentist is very professional and treats you very respectfully, every time I visit I am made to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Great dental practise, highly recommended, staff always friendly & helpful, the dentist has always gone out of his way to accommodate me & I'm an NHS patient.

Very good dentis. Patient since 4 years, and never had problem there.

Friendly staff and caring dentist. Thanks for the a great service.

Jag is the best! So caring and he does an amazing job :)

He does a great job and so funny

Excellent treatment,thanks
Jag.

I really do not know what rating should be given to this dentist because:
*Dentist: He is professional but he is very stingy and money-loving and sees clients in the form of money and not in the form of patients.
*Nurse: She is very good and polite and has a friendly demeanor and is responsible and kind.
*Receptionist :she is very rude and aggressive and careless and boastful
So my opinion is 2
