Christchurch Dental Practice

I would look no further than this dental practice: Dr Derek van Staden is second to none, supported by kind and competent staff, in pleasant surroundings.

After years of not having been to the dentist due to some bad previous experiences at another practice and an escalating fear of the dentist I finally decided to try Christchurch Dental Practice, and I can not recommend them more highly. Following an initial consult with Dr Abdullah Moin and Meg Tucker they put together a 6month plan to remove old temporary crowns, removal of my old grey fillings and a few new fillings too. I was given a huge amount of detail and the time and space to decide how I best approached the timing of appointments needed. At each appointment Abdullah couldn’t have been more friendly, along with all of the dental nurses I met too. It put me at ease completely and whilst I can’t proclaim to have looked forward to my appointments, I no longer dreaded them and I can honestly say I no longer fear going to the dentist. The whole experience is aimed at making you as comfortable as possible, and I always listened to pod casts/audio books during my treatments which helped distract me. If you’re a nervous patient and looking for somewhere new, I would recommend trying Christchurch DP.

An excellent dental practice. The staff are friendly and professional. You are treated with respect and kept well informed.

Amazing treatment! Caring, reassuring. Supposed professional information given step by step. The whole team very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you and highly recommend this service. Outstanding!!!

Both hygienist and dental appointments were on time and very professional

A series of appointments made. Not difficult !

I can’t recommend Christchurch dental enough, with a huge thank you to Meg and April.

After feeling apprehensive for years about having my wisdom tooth out, I had an appointment with Meg and April yesterday and cannot thank them enough for making me so comfortable. They talked me through what they were doing and when to expect different sensations (ie. drilling/push and pull) and it really put me at ease. I genuinely didn’t feel a thing the whole process and I can’t recommend these two lovely ladies enough!

Excellent treatment and very helpful and professional staff. I can highly recommend the Christchurch Dental Practice.

I always find the staff and atmosphere at Christchurch Dental practice such a nice experience! I’m not a great lover of the dentist (like many people!) but they always put me at ease and listen to me and any concerns I might have. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. I’m so pleased I found this practice.

I was a very scared to go to the dentist for many years until I went here , they are very patient and friendly and professional and I can honestly say after a hand full of appointments I am no longer scared and I look forward to going to the dentist now for the first time in my life . I would highly recommend this practice for nervous patients . Also, when it comes to the financial side of things they are very understanding, and you can do all treatments at your own pace .

I appreciated the diligence, understanding and expertise of both the hygienist and dentist today at my 6 monthly appointment. The reception staff and dental assistants are also lovely here.

Very professional people.
Was told how I can improve my oral hygiene.

Excellent service as usual, I’ve been with the practice for years and they have always looked after me impeccably.

It’s always a good experience at Christchurch clinic.
My hygienist is very kind and professional.
Gives sound advice and never appears rushed.
Pleasure to see her.

What a great experience, Ash and the team are great, they take care of everyone and everything. At to top it off the amazing Poppy at the front of house always makes me smile with some great conversations and checking everything on ok.

Christchurch Dental Practice is an amazing dentist practice which I have been lucky enough to be a patient at for a couple of years now . Every single member of staff I have ever dealt with has been delightful , professional and positive. Dr Ash is an incredibly talented dentist and today he filled my wisdom tooth using all the latest technology and his expertise. I am a nervous patient and have had traumatic experiences at other previous practices, but with Dr Ash the whole experience is a calm and easily manageable one. In just 45 minutes he completed the procedure and showed me all the photographs he had taken along the way . I was mind blown ! The end result is a beautifully crafted perfect looking tooth. I felt zero pain during or indeed after the procedure. The man is a genius! Thanks Dr Ash

An excellent service. All staff very friendly and very professional. High quality and advanced dental care.

Very professional, courteous and a pleasant experience.

I today attended my Dentist for a routine checkup and Hygienist appointment.
On arrival, a warm welcome from Poppy on reception.
The Dentist, Dr Derek A van Staden and his Dental Assistant were both very welcoming and carried out a very professional and reassuring check. All was ok, leaving me with peace of mind.
I then went to see the Hygienist, Jess and her colleague.
Again a very polite welcome and a very gentle thorough procedure.
Such good advice on dental care, which I need, as do we all.
A great experience, with both Professionals, leaving me feeling well and confident in their care.
Thank you

I had to visit the dental clinic for an emergency, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff responded quickly and professionally, fitting me into their schedule on short notice. The dentist was incredibly attentive and compassionate, taking the time to explain the issue and the necessary treatment. Despite my anxiety, they made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure. The care I received was excelent I’m grateful for their prompt and effective service in such a stressful situation, and I highly recommend their dental care.
