The team has a sympathetic approach to dentistry, by considering the teeth as only part of the whole body. Referral to supplementary specialists will often enhance the health of the mouth, jaws head and neck.

Today the centre plays host to 4 dentists, 5 hygienists, 4 nurses and 3 receptionists and together our aim is to provide a relaxing and friendly atmosphere, and we look forward to welcoming you to our Practice in the near future.

I can't say I ever find dental visits easy, do any of us?! but Ahmet is excellent and I always feel in a safe and skilled pair of hands. The receptionists always friendly and welcoming too and the place is spotlessly clean.

Dr Sim has an excellent manner with patients and seems highly clinically skilled. He is also unusually gentle when giving local anaesthetic injections.

I have been a patient at Durban Dental Centre since I was 10 years old. At this point it was still an NHS practice but I remained as a patient when it became a private practice. Why? Because of the quality of care I have always received here. Dentists have come and gone but I can honestly say that every one of the dentists that have looked after my dental care for the last 40 years have been amazing. I trust them and even though I no longer live in the area, Durban Dental Centre remains my practice.

My experience as a patient of the Durban Dental Surgery has been exceptional. Ashley's competence, customer care and overall professionalism is exemplary. He is ably assisted by the dental nurse who is extraordinarily warm and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Durban Dental Surgery to my family and friends.It must also be noted that Anda the Hygienist is an amazing and experienced asset to the surgery.Thank you for attaining such high and enviable standards. Keep it up!!
