Reviews of Horfield Dental Care

A. G.

I’ve just had composite edge bonding with Simon and I am SO pleased with the results. Simon is professional, friendly and works in a very relaxed calming environment. He took the time to go through a thorough consultation before the treatment to explain in depth. He’s very knowledgeable and a credit to Horfield Dental Care!

A. J.

Simon has been my dentist for past few years. His workmanship is first class as is his depth of knowledge. His sdvice is always comprehensive and considered for your budget. However what I really appreciate is his relaxed manner which puts you at your ease and gives you confidence. Receptionists and nurses always friendly and helpful.

I've been finding it incredibly difficult to find the 'right' dentist to get my teeth sorted at the best quality possible. I will be honest and say that i have neglected by oral care over the years and had a fear of the dentist since a child. Now, that I'm much older, I am grateful to have found this dental centre. The receptionist and staff are lovely at the branch, it was quick and efficient to sign up as a private patient and get a booking in place. Especially with the difficulty it is now to sign up as a patient many places. It is very fairly priced as well. Simon Cottell was my chosen dentist at the branch after reading through the our team section. I was highly impressed with the gentleness, professionalism and the clarity he goes through when talking about my dental plan. Very patient and made me feel very at ease when visiting. The knowledge and high quality workmanship is fantastic. As long as he's a dentist, I will forever be his patient! A real credit to the branch! Thank you for your service and I look forward to my next appointment! Mustafa

Horfield Dental Care provided me with professional, thoughtful and excellent dental treatment. Phil is a really wonderful dentist -personable, attentive and goes the extra mile. My smile has been absolutely transformed and his treatment exceeded all expectations. Would recommend to anyone.

J. W.

Excellent service as ever from Phil and the team. Had a filling replacement and clean done within 30 minutes. No anesthesia needed to take the old filling out due to care and attention paid to the work. No pain either on the new filling going in. Best dentist in Bristol!

Really excellent dental surgery. Only recently joined but have had a general checkup plus some repair work and a hygienist cleaning session. All super professional and it felt very skilled. They're very organised too which adds confidence.

T. Y.

Mr Simon Cottell is the best dentist I have ever received a dental treatment from. He is very comforting and nice. He is also incredibly talented and gentle. Thank you very much!

G. M.

Recently completed my Invisalign journey and over the moon with the results! It's an investment but absolutely worth every penny. Thank you to Simon and the team!

I had two appointments, first one with Doctor Simon and second one with a hygienist. First appointment was general examination and I was very pleased with it. Hygiene session I was not pleased at all. At the beginning of teeth cleaning session I was told that in one session they might not clean my whole teeth(I respect). So hygienist hurried up a bit and as she rushed up sometimes, as she sometimes missed some delicate moves around the teeth it hurt while cleaning. Also I felt like I did not have as many resting breaks as I wanted to have and after cleaning finished I had pain around gums.. As a customer I would willingly pay 2 or 3 sessions at once, I don't care about money for a proper cleaning session. I want hygienist to take their time to do their job better without a rush and I want to rest as much as I want. Hygienist was kind and not bad in her job but time pressure did not make things very well. Just inform customers better. It's totally a bad planning issue. As a customer, I clearly stated on phone and also in first examination that I had a very build up dirt and I could not have a chance to visit dentist during the pandemic. I spent time and effort to explain but I did not see the same from them. Is it really so tedious to give customers two sentences of proper information before sessions?

J. A.

Such a great experience at Horfield Dental Care. My dentist is Andy Curran and he is professional, caring and very thorough. Needed to have an injection and I barely felt it. So happy with the care I receive and would highly recommend this practice. They are amazing!!!!

E. B.

I had an appointment to fill my broken front tooth, and was seen by Simon. Going to the dentist is usually a nerve racking experience, but Simon's warm and relaxed demeanor put me at ease immediately. He talked me through everything he was doing and the options I had very clearly, which was so refreshing. I experienced no pain at all, and he repeatedly checked that I was doing okay and reassured me throughout the treatment. I am so pleased with the end result, and friends have commented that they wouldn't know which tooth was the broken one! Thank you Simon, you are a credit to the practice.

I. B.

Such an amazing dentist, Louise is lovely and made me feel so comfortable. After having a bad experience with another dentist in Bristol was very comforting to come to Horfield. Cannot rate highly enough!

D. M.

Really happy with the care I have received from here. Relatively easy to get an appointment. I have had a couple of fairy big treatments here and have always felt very comfortable. Having had a few fillings over my life I have been surprised since having Simon at this surgery how pain free it has been, he seems very skilled in anesthetising and the work itself.

N. E.

Excellent care received at HDC for my recent Invisalign treatment. Courteous staff, everything fully explained and very pleased with the entire process. Thoroughly recommended.

K. W.

I recently had extensive dental work completed at Horfield Dental Care and wanted to share my positive experience. From my initial call, the practice staff met me with a friendly and professional team that made the process of booking, paying and attending the practice during covid. I am neurodiverse and find booking, management and attending dental appointments challenging to manage at times. However, my dentist Simon Cottel, and the front desk staff at the practice spent the time to explain the treatment options available and appointments that would be required. As a result, I felt informed and never felt pressured into more expensive treatment options. During my treatment, Simon and his dental nurse did everything to ensure I was as comfortable as possible. My visit to Horfield Dental Care was the first time I have visited a dentist without extensive pain during fillings and cleaning. I can't recommend this practice, Simon and his dental assistant enough. I hope I don't have to return too soon, though!

T. W.

A surprisingly pleasant experience and friendly staff despite all the challenges the pandemic is causing. I saw Simon, and honestly its probably been the best dental experience i've had in Bristol - most other dentists just try to get you in and out, but Simon took some photos of my teeth and sat me down to explain what was going on and where some issues were. I found this clarity actually helped a lot of with my nerves of going to dentist as I knew what was actually being done to my teeth instead of just going along for the ride! For once I'm feeling loads better about coming back from a dentist and knowing what I can be doing better, so its great treatment and good bit of learning on-top as well

J. P.

I am immensely impressed with the quality of service I experienced at this dentist practice today. The protocols around safety were excellent. The cheerfulness of the staff was extraordinary. Simon who treated me was clear, helpful and extremely professional. Simon is an amazing dentist - he also communicates in a friendly way. He also encouraged me - by saying that I am taking care of my teeth!! The nurse who greeted me was outstanding in her approach. The receptionist was amazingly helpful. I recommend this practice without reservation. I have one point of improvement: could you very kindly tighten up the bike stand - it is a bit loose (and I have had two bikes stolen in Bristol)!!

A. G. I.

Had my teeth checked and cleaned by hygenist Lisa from Wales. She was wonderful, pleasant and had a light hand which meant hardly any pain when cleaning drill tool used. Her assitant was just as helpful. Very happy with Dental clinic. The previous hygenist I had was horrible and rude. Was glad with change asked for.

J. G. (. J.

Trustworthy and welcoming! Have been going to this Dentist and Hygienist since living in Bristol and recommend highly. My hygienist Bea is great and always gives recommendations on hygiene / products... I actually enjoy going to both dentist and hygienist.

C. F.

Always good at this dental practice! I had a filling replaced by Simon because my previous dental surgery did an okay job but needed replacing. It was very well done, I now have a filling in the shape of my tooth rather than just the flat, oddly shaped half filling it was before. 10/10

G. A.

Without doubt the best dentist I have ever had. I was never a good patient (very nervous and would even avoid going). All the staff were extremely friendly, kind and professional throughout. I now go regularly and can honestly say I look forward to going if it means I get a nice polish! A special shout out to Bea Lusby (my hygenist) and Phliip Chan (my dentist) who are amazing! I feel strangely proud that I have got to this point but I know that it is only because of the outstanding work of this practice. Thank you all.

A. H.

I have been going to this dental practice for over 30 years and the thought of going elsewhere would freak me out. Dr Chan is so calming and makes you feel at ease and as relaxed as one can be at the dentist. After bad childhood experiences I am an anxious patient but religiously go ever 6 months even though it terrifies me. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the hygienist is also very friendly and, again, makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. You have my vote!

K. M.

I was recommended Horfield Dental by a friend who was undergoing their ABC (Align, Brighten and Contour) treatment. I couldn’t believe what a difference it was making within such a short time frame, so I booked a consultation - I noticed that my teeth were moving with age, but didn’t know if anything could be done. From beginning to end the experience with Horfield Dental (and Dr Chan) has been brilliant. Professional and friendly service. Detailed treatment plan and immediate responses to any questions or concerns. Even throughout lockdown the surgery kept in touch and advised me. I couldn’t recommend this treatment and dental surgery highly enough.

P. T.

We have had such great service from Phil and his team. I have always had a great experience with Andy, but when my son broke his tooth, Phil fixed it and made such a great job. He was clear on the plan and the solution and did an amazing job. It could not have been better. He made what could have been a very stressful situation better with minimal fuss. Thanks so much, your professionalism and kindness was really appreciated.

O. R.

I recently had my front tooth removed and an implant fitted to replace it. Dr Chan and all the staff at the surgery were fantastic. I had a number of appointments throughout the process to keep me well informed of the whole process and to make sure everything was going smoothly. I’m delighted with the result, can’t recommend these guys enough.

G. W.

Visited today to have a checkup; really nice practice with a great team. The lady on reception was very welcoming and my dentist and his assistant were very prompt and professional, explaining what they were doing and advising of some longer term work that will need doing in the future. Definitely recommend anyone to use this practice, I'm glad I moved!

J. S.

Had an excellent experience with Simon Cottell and his assistant who fixed up my front two teeth after a nasty accident the weekend previous that left them half missing. I've always struggled/been nervous going to the dentist however in this instance, to make matters worse, I had to face the fact that my birthday is next week, where the potential for birthday photos to be taken of me with chunks out my teeth was very much on the horizon. Simon reassured me beforehand and helped make me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. It was a quick, professional job and my teeth look better than they had originally looked before! Thank you Simon, I'll get the full experience this birthday without any embarrassment or shame!

M. K.

Fantastic job and service from the very start. I've just had a wisdom tooth extracted by Dr Chan. I was dreading it as my experiences with my previous dentist had always been a nightmare. Dr Chan's service was outstanding - he puts you at ease straight away and made the whole event as painless as it can be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team at Horfield Dental Care - top class!

T. H.

After my regular dentist had trouble extracting two of my teeth in preparation for a brace, Phil Chan was highly recommended to me by a friend, as someone who might be able to help. I was able to get an appointment very quickly with Phil and found the reception staff warm and friendly on arrival. Phil Chan is an amazing dentist! He took time to explain everything that had gone wrong & why with the tooth extraction and gave me a number of options to solving the issue. Both Phil & the Dental Nurse, Beth, were extremely kind - I am a very nervous patient and generally terrified of the Dentist - but they put me at ease so I felt comfortable undergoing another procedure to extract the roots. The extraction was a success and I am overwhelmingly grateful that I no longer have to wait 6 weeks for a referral to a specialist, as proposed by my original Dentist. Despite this practice being the opposite end of the City from where I live, there's no way I'd go to another Dentist now. Highly recommended!

A. S.

I visited the Horfield Dental Centre for some dental work, I was very very pleased with the results, Dr Phillips Chan was lovely and great at his work. Will carry on going to this surgery for my check-ups. Highly recommended.

K. G.

I went for my first visit today, I am a bit of a nervous patient and have avoided going to a dentist for far too long. I have a treatment plan now, I feel much happier. I have found a dental practice that I feel will take good care of me. The price of the plan is not excessive. So glad I went, I went because of all the 5 star reviews and I want to give 5 stars too.

M. G.

Two smashed wisdom teeth had been living, and getting gross, in my jaw for months. I finally broke and nervously got an appt to have them looked at. I cannot overstate how lovely the experience wound up being. From front desk, to the actual procedure, to aftercare instruction. Everything was so fantastic. I went private as I only had one day off work, even as such they saw me right away, and it was VERY reasonably priced. I was scared as hell, and Dr Philip Chan really set me at ease. The procedure was done quickly, smoothly, and professionally. Thank you Dr, and the whole staff. You have managed to change the opinion of a dentists office for this guy. From not even going to get bad teeth removed, due to fear, all the way to actually enjoying myself... and living pain free from this point forward. Thank you so much!

a. c.

Got Recommended through a friend to see Simon. Simon talked me through my procedure as we went along so I knew exactly what was going on which kept me Calm! The dental nurse and front desk staff were all lovely as well.

D. B.

Phil was great, put me at ease and helped me relax, did a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. I'll try to stop smoking for stoptober to improve my gum health. Would recommend.

E. L.

Professional and easy, Horfield Dental care is a practice I wouldn't hesitate to return to. Dr Curran is a warm and welcoming practitioner with years of experience and made my procedure much less of a hassle than it could have been (several fillings on the right upper side). 5/5

A. Y.

Horfield Dental Care is an excellent practice. The premises is always clean and tidy. The staff are welcoming and put you at ease during the procedure. I appreciate the online booking facility, so much more convenient than trying to get through on the phone. I moved to the South of Bristol, yet still go back to Horfield Dental Care, that's how good they are!

D. V. G.

A superb practice. After a sudden and extremely painful toothache I had no other option but to see a dentist urgently. The Horfield Dental Care was able to secure an emergency appointment for me the next day, and at a time of my convenience. Dr. Curran provided both a fantastic service and an extremely useful follow up treatment. Being so impressed with the ease at which he treated my tooth so efficiently and the advice he provided, I realised I had finally found a dentist I could trust. Since then I've returned for a follow up treatment and have also seen the practice's hygienist. In a similar fashion, Miss Lusby provided both an excellent service and advice regarding my teeth cleaning. In fact, I has been most impressed with the entire staff's friendly attitude and professionalism. I would gladly recommend anybody who is need of a simple check up or more important dental work.

G. H.

Dr Chan is the best in the business. After many unsuccessful attempts to try and find a new dentist, I came across the reviews of Dr Chan and horfield dental care and took interest. I am absolutely glad I did. He fixed all of my dental issues with minimal to no pain and we even managed to fit in a quick round of Radio 2s "Pop Masters" while we waited for my mouth to numb. He made a dental sceptic like myself, feel completely at ease. So much so that I have now signed my children up to the clinic as I couldn't think of a better place for them to go. Thanks once again, see you in 6 months!

N. Z.

Bea is great. I have been working with her to manage my gum problems and she's been amazing at guiding me through this process and recommending products and techniques to use. I am so happy with the results so far and the advice that Bea has given me. Thank you

H. C.

My fear of the dentist has always made having the treatment I have needed quite a traumatic experience. Simon, the dental nurses and all the other staff I have met at this practice have been amazing and my fear seems to be diminishing with each appointment! Thank you

M. B.

Had a really good first experience here and would definitely recommend! The reception team were all very friendly and Phil took genuine care over my teeth, made me feel at ease and recommended some good products for me to use in future 🪥

R. C.

Overall great experience for myself and family - Simon and the team really make you feel at ease and comfortable, would highly recommend for anyone who feels anxious or nervous as you’ll be very well looked after.

G. J.

Excellent care. My Husband saw Laurence Folland and he has really put his faith back into dentists. No hard sell, no slap-dash just quality dentistry. Everything was explained in detail and he and his nurse were very attentive as my husband is prone to passing out. Thanks

I. C.

Brilliant service from start to finish. As somebody who's not the biggest fan of dentist visits I have found all the staff and Horfield Dental Care to be amazing, really putting me at ease. Cannot recommend the surgery highly enough!

M. T.

Excellent dental practice. Phil chan fitted me in at very short notice and replaced a broken filling. Really calm and experienced. Reception staff very welcoming. Would really recommend them. Thanks.

D. G.

First starting suffering toothache early April and was initially prescribed antibiotics After 4 weeks no improvement so had tooth extracted at an emegency dental centre. Unfortunately the dentist could not remove the roots. After five further weeks of pain/antibiotics Simon and Phil arranged an appointment at Bristol Dental Hospital and had roots extracted the same day. Throughout this period I received invaluable telephone advice from Simon and in these difficult times would like to thank Simon and Phil for their support over the past 9 weeks.

M. M.

A good experience. My dentist was skilled and made the effort to give me some very helpful advice. He and the other staff were also very personable and accommodating. Really recommended.

B. T.

Horfield Dental Care turned me from a dentist hater (I wasn’t registered in Bristol for a decade) into someone who actually quite enjoys going! They’re a lovely bunch, and couldn’t be more helpful when arranging appointment. I always recommend them to friends.

M. T.

Being nervous of the dentist I looked at reviews in the local area. I decided on this one and glad that I did. Had 2 extractions below the gum and a filling. Never felt any discomfort whatsoever and all the staff were friendly and professional.

J. N.

Wow! An excellent and professional surgery with a very easy going (yet attentive) staff across the board (dentists, nurses, office staff). An excellent job and all issues explained clearly and thoroughly with no pressure to have further treatment with the surgery themselves, very good.. Just a great job and wow what an experience.

M. M.

Dr Chan completely restrored my front tooth and did a really good job- you can’t tell at all that the lower half of it has completely fractured off. Service at this dentist is always professional and friendly, I would highly reccomend Horfield Dental Care to anybody.

L. T.

I hate having fillings and after a really bad experience at another Dentist I was really scared about going again. Andrew treated me and was amazing, he explained what was happening the who time and was very reassuring. Very clean, professional Dentist, I will definitely continue going here.

L. H.

Been going here for just over a year now and never had a bad experience, having never had a hygienist in my previous dentist Bea was lovely and explained everything to me with some really helpful tips for better oral hygiene, highly recommend this surgery ☺️

Just wanted to say this is the best dentist I have ever been too! Dr chan is an absolute dream & I’ve only seen him once!! The dentist practice is so nice inside would HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!! Having my wisdom teeth out tomorrow!! Eekkkk!
