Cheers, had already rung three in Streatham but Neil Markham (as mentioned above) only do Fridays and Mondays and of course, they're Bank Holidays (they also charge £50).

Plus, it seems you'd have to see the dentist at the particular surgery in question, before they refer you to hygienist, despite them wanting a referral from your own dentist.

Have decided to stick to the partner practice which means having to drag arse to Battersea. Offered an appointment tomorrow but busy so got one for next week.
 
Off to Blue Dental Care Brixton at 09:30 this morning to see if I can get seen.

Look a little bit like this fish but only on one side :)

Thanks guys, Blue Dental Care were really good. Not registered with them and no appointments so just turned up this morning and waited. Only took a couple of hours wait to get seen by a really nice dentist. Have got a (gum not tooth related) abscess which is not ideal but they did an x-ray and gave some advice for £17.

Recommended :)

Great you found one you liked.

I'm sitting here drinking a cup of tea through a straw as I've just had a filling redone and a new filling so two injections and a lopsided face. She did an excellent job of one of the fillings at the front. So good, I can't even figure out exactly where it is.
 
Good to find this.

I've been using Stockwell Dental Practice so far and I really like Rebecca, she's cool to work with and she also seem to do quick and quality fillings I have nothing against. The problem for her though is the restoration of a partially crushed teeth which I have on the very front (bikeeeee!). Did my first onlay with her years ago and it wasn't too pretty compared to the previous one from my high-end Latvian dentist.. Lasted quite long tho. However this time she been clearly missing something cause after restoration the tooth in question still looks half crushed, it's like 1/3 smaller than the other one on front. No chances of getting a job in the customer service with a smile like this FFS!

Now I was thinking to maybe go back and complain but then I think she just struggles getting it right and I can't afford any more experiments or I'll have to have a crown after all.

Well anyway, Blue Dental Care and Half Moon seem to be 2 popular choices, let's hope one of them can fix the girl's mess :facepalm:

I can't recommend Blue Dental Care enough. In three trips they patched up many years of neglect in my gob and also nervous wifey was very happy with them.
 
If your dentist is not confident then why don't you complain and ask her to refer you to a dental hospital?
I'm having treatment at Kings because my dentist didn't know how to treat me as I have real special teeth. The treatment I've had there has been excellent.

And no, that's not a good job and she should know that.
 
Ehm, she seems to be very confident ;) And I was too numb from anaesthetics by the end of the session to have a proper look, so my fault as well (although I'm sure nothing could have been fixed at that point anymore anyway).

A referral to Kings? Sounds tempting, I love hospitals. Does it cost extra?
 
Thanks v much for Blue Care recommendations, it's just down the road from me and I need a new dentist. Been going to Crescent Lodge near Clapham Common for years but they've been getting more and more upmarket and pricey, stopped doing NHS & now offer botox FFS. I'll be making a checkup appt with Blue Care in the morning. Though I did notice they're closed for refurb I think.
 
NOOOO! They're not closed are they? I've got an emergency which must be seen to tomorrow and I don't fancy my changes at kings emergency clinic

They were 10 days ago. If you're registered with them you can get an appointment with their sister practice but it's in Battersea (well more Clapham Junction).
 
Their answering machine said they're closed and I'm not registered with them so I had to go somewhere else. They were very good actually, I might make these guys my new dentist :cool:
 
I just joined unique dentist on norwood road (tulse hill end)
I was pleased with my treatment and they are taking nhs
 
In the Brixton Hill area - I go to New Park Road dentist, on, er, New Park Road.
The Patel family run it. They're very good - a few of my friends go there and have been going there for years and recommended it to me and I've been going there for years now too!

Blue Dental Care sound the bizniss though!
 
I came aross this thread looking for reviews of Brixton dentists as I need a tooth done and I don't know where to turn to.

I've had a quite crappy experience with Dentistry For You in Gresham Road. It was 6 or 7 years ago. The guy (he seemed boss there, an elderly Asian man) left a bit of the nerve behind during the root canal treatment and when, upon further X-raying, it turned out to be inflamed, he told me he wouldnt' be able to extract it, but I should rather take antibiotics until the inflammation is gone. :facepalm: Never went there again and had the botched work fixed elsewhere. When I walk by the place, I see increasingly fancy cars parked there, that the guy owns: it started with a Merc convertible, on to a Maserati convertible and now a Ferrari. No sh!t. His nurse who I met accidentally in the market two weeks ago confirmed that it is, indeed, all his drives. Hemust be doing well then.

People here seem to be raving about Blue Dental Care. I've had very mixed experiences with one of the dentists there, Dr. Andrias Colman O'Gadhra. First two times he did an excellent job, years later I'm still extremely happy with both. :thumbs: Two last time he botched it big time. I had to go to a specialist clinic and they were aghast at what they saw. :eek: Don't know what to make of it but my trust has been ruined. Maybe other dentists there are better?

Now I have a bit of a molar chipped off when eating some very grainy Scandinavian bread :hmm: and I'm at a loss where to find a good NHS dentist around Brixton. I don't mind travelling a bit for a really good one. Please help! :( :)
 
I go to Half Moon in Herne Hill and they seem fine, but I've never had to have anything more major than a filling done.
 
I'm looking for a recommendation for a dentist for my baby (almost 1) - would like to find someone in Brixton or HH who is good with little ones.

teuchter do you mean half moon dental? Their website says they don't take new NHS patients.
 
Mr SB had extensive root canal at acre lane dental by Dr. Olakunle Odeyemi. He said he was amazing. I don't think he works there full time. I have been and never had him, and thought it was OK, had worse, but nothing special. I think they take NHS.

I think they do if they're children.

I think they're also trying to squeeze out their existing ones. I've been going there for about 12 years as NHS patient and now I'm not allowed appointments on a Saturday, before 9am or after 6pm during the week. Which isn't very useful for me.

Yes, we do. Can recommend, they're good.

Did they used to be Dental Solutions?

We are looking for a new dentist after not great experiences at Blue. The same guy has botched root canal treatment on both me and Hendo. I had to go to a specialist to fix it, which cost £800! Hendo was sent to see a private dentist (£90) after root canal treatment after experiencing a lot of pain - only to be told the offending tooth was cracked and had to be removed. The NHS dentist really should have known that. And was presumably responsible for cracking the tooth.
