Always amazing service at Parmar Dental. Had a potentially difficult extraction done today and Kanusha was brilliant. Didn't feel a thing and it was very quick and painless. Kanusha is always friendly and informative and very professional. I recommend Parmar Dental to everyone I know, and have no problem in entrusting them with not only my own dental care but my whole family. Thanks to Kanusha and the entire team for your attention this morning.Faren Tutton

Visited after a piece of my tooth broke away. I had no discomfort from the break.Was set up with an appointment within 24 hours for an inspection, and possible filling, dependant upon the Dentist's findings.Inspection was available on time, and a filling done at that time. Total job approximately 20 mins.Very professional service overall.

I am new to the area, registered with Parmar dental and I was assigned to Dr Jordan and Saskia and I couldn't be happier! I am a very nervous (scared) patient.Well today I had 4 teeth out and was the most smooth visit to a dentist ever! They made me feel so relaxed. Thank you so much Jordan and Saskia.

I used to be so stressed and anxious about my dental appointments that I’d be shaking with fear before I even stepped into the practice. Embeth is so compassionate and truly understands how it feels to be nervous. Her kindness and warmth make all the difference, she instantly put me at ease. What I love most about her is how she motivates me to take care of my gums and teeth, while also being real with me about what I need to work on, but in such a gentle and encouraging way. She never makes me feel bad, just supported. I honestly cannot thank her enough for making such difference, I now look forward to my appointments instead of dreading them :) She’s not only knowledgeable but also so friendly and caring. On my last appointment, Frankie was helping Embeth, and she was just as lovely and kind. The two of them together created such a calm and welcoming atmosphere.Thank you very much.

I had a partial crown fitted today and I was so impressed with the service. Jordan and Rachel were the dream team from start to finish! They were personable and professional, which put me at ease immediately. Jordan expertly explained the full procedure to me at the start and kept me updated throughout with the different steps of the process, which I appreciated. Rachel’s ‘chair-side’ manner is fantastic - she is very considerate, warm and friendly. They invited me to see the crown being made upstairs which was fascinating! Having a crown fitted is never fun, but they both went above and beyond to make me feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Thank you both!

A first rate experience and I cannot praise Nilesh enough. My two front teeth now look so much better with the implants. The complicated process was made simple and I felt in good hands throughout the consultations and the appointments to fit the temporary caps and then the finished articles. I would highly recommend Parmar - a professional service offered and delivered.

Parmar dental is one of my favourite places to go. The staff are so friendly, kind and have the best sense of humour too- making it all comfortable place to be for those that even dread it. It’s so high tech there and all their skills are up to date. You won’t find me in another practice ever. I couldn’t recommend it enough to anybody who needs a dentist. Whichever dentist you’ll get, you’ll get treated like a star. I have had Kanusha for years, she’s just amazing! Reception is so polite and understanding. Always cater to my needs and work times. Genuinely the best practice around. Look forward to my next check up. Thank you Parmar Dental 😊

I was devastated when I couldn't have Nilesh anymore & really worried about who would be my dentist next. I did have a bad experience 1st of all but then getting to know my new dentist I'm now (wouldn't say happy to go) but more confident about going to the appointments.

I went in today for my children’s 6 monthly appointments. My 7 year old had to have an X-ray and was very anxious however the staff were amazing explaining what was happening, showing the X-ray and explaining it put her at ease. The actual dentist was amazing with my kids and made what can be a stressful time very relaxed. Would highly recommend.

I saw Embeth today, a dental hygienist and found it to be an incredibly positive experience. She was highly professional, skilled and provided an excellent service. We need good advice to maintain our dental health and this was tailored specifically to my needs, well informed and we practiced the improved techniques. I'm super anxious at the dentist, and was made to feel very relaxed and calm.I can't wait for my next appointment. Great experience, thank you.Mark Manser

Friendly and efficient are words easily (mis)used but my experience at Parmar Dental was excellent. All staff at all grades were pleasant and helpful, the dentist Mr Chan-Yau was careful and considerate. It was my first dental extraction for many years and I was quite anxious (read 'petrified') but need not have worried. Next appointment arranged with confidence.

Best dentist experience you could ask for - the building is clean and modern, reception staff are always lovely and helpful, and will send confirmation/reminders of your appointments. They offer a mix of private and NHS treatments (including a hygienist) and are very clear about any costs that are required.I use the NHS dental service offered here and Chris is the best dentist I have ever had - he is very patient, kind and good at explaining what he is doing which is reassuring for anyone that might be anxious about their appointments. The quality of work is amazing and has really saved my teeth! All of the other dental staff I have met during appointments have also been incredible and very kind - can't recommend enough.

Absolutely over the moon with the service I received. Kate the Hygienist carried out a wonderful job and advised me accordingly. I then saw Jordan the Dentist who was also fantastic really put me at ease with the advice he gave me - I was especially nervous as I've had dental work abroad. It was great to see both the Hygienist and Dentist on a Saturday. Receptionist (forgot her name so sorry) was wonderful too. Found my Dentist for life!!!

Very satisfied with every aspect of Parma. The receptionists are lovely and very friendly, and do all they can to assist. The surgery is very well equipped with modern and up to date equipment, and the dentist extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and willing to explain everything in detail. The same goes for the nurses. Mine and my Wife’s dentist is Nisha, and we both recommend her and the practice overall without any hesitation .

Tonya and all the receptionists have been very helpful and friendly in making appointments for me.Kanusha was very helpful and professional in replacing a crown for me this week and in giving me advice.I made an appointment this week with Embeth the hygienist who has a Nurse Assistant...Holly....The treatment and care I received was first class. Embeth explains everything that she is doing very clearly and checks with you many times during the procedure that you are ok.The practice has been refurbished and decorated to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean.Thankyou everybody.David Davis

Friendly and professional staff. Very accommodating. Always a pleasure visiting. They take the fear away from the profession with the way they care about their patients. I had an awful experience with another surgery and was scrambling to find another place to go. They welcomed me and my family with open arms and i wish i had been able to be with them sooner.

The dentist and dental nurse where so lovely and caring. I was dreading the numbing injection but he was really gently. This experience was so different from my previous dentist. I went from having major anxiety to having a laugh with the nurse. I would highly recommend this dental practice.

Very good practice they make you feel comfortable when you arrive at booking-in on your appointment time and Chis the dentist that I saw and the dental nurse were very polite and helpful which helped relax you and they explained everything that was going to happen whilst carrying out all necessary work which also helped. Couldn't fault the.

We have recently joined this dental practice and have been so impressed with their service. Our dentist takes time to explain what is needed and any options. Work is carried out with kindness and great professionalism. Also, my young granddaughter said she will never be scared of the dentist again after her recent check up. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Really lovely surgery. Clean & modern. Friendly, reassuring staff and dentist. I called in the morning and got an appointment in the afternoon. It was a cancellation, but it's still a great service. Going back to have a wisdom tooth removed in a few weeks.Highly recommend.
