I purchased Invisalign from 740 Dental. The customer service has been superb, I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking getting Invisalign. From the initial consultation to the procedure and after care, its been 10/10.

Jeremy Ross

I have spent a lifetime terrified of dentists until I had the good fortune to meet Richard. He is a dentist who sets you completely at ease reassures you and understands your fears. He has looked after my family is approachable and has a good sense of humour👍👍

Christopher Coomber

Salt of the Earth Dentists, always have such a lovly interaction with all the staff working with 740 Dental, but most of all the Dentists are so good with me here, as I have an Irrational fear of them, they always make the experience very pleasant. Bless them all

Willy Bensalah

Incredible dentist, managed to fit me in for an emergency appointment this morning to replace a broken filling. They were so kind and professional. I highly recommend.

Beth Ford

I can now smile with confidence. James was brilliant, explained the procedure in detail and kept me informed throughout.I would highly recommend.

gwen kenny

Excellent service as usual from 740 Dental. Just completed my dental implant brilliantly dealt with by James and his team. Highly recommend

Mike Reynolds

I've been frequenting 740 Dental for over 50 years receiving treatment from Richard, his predecessor and his team. Felt compelled to write a review after some excellent detail work. Unfortunately needed an extraction and whilst both Richard and I had some trepidation after the last experience, the removal went like a dream. If I hadn't seen the tooth be placed on the tray in front of me I wouldn't have believed he'd removed it. Pain management was excellent and great care taken throughout the process to ensure a comfortable procedure. Would recommend Richard, his assistant, Marzena, and the practice if you need some dental care.

Jason Gifford

Incredible treatment. Have always had a real phobia in terms of dental treatment. Such fear was allayed within the first five minutes of being treated by Dr. Angela O'Reagan. Have had five visits and everyone was outstanding in terms of my clinical treatment, accompanied by genuine empathy, care and consideration. The whole staff are a genuine credit to any dental practice. There is only one place for dental treatment of me, from now on and that is at 740, why consider any alternative when I have received only the very best of car and attention ( and a vastly improved mouth to go with it.

Peter Harding

I’ve just had some dental work done by Sophia and her assistant Nancy at 740 Dental. Thoroughly recommend them . The work they done is exceptional .

Gian Monti

I have found everyone at 740 Dental very helpful and friendly. Sharon explains everything she will do very concisely so that I am very relaxed. Both Sharon and Gill, my hygienist are very efficient. I have been very pleased with all my treatments there.

Anne Lenihan

Always reassuring going to 740 Dental. Staff there are professional and welcoming, and would make the most nervous of patients feel calm and at ease!!! Highly recommend.

Dawn Jones

Root canal work on an upper molar was conducted most efficiently and effectively. Sophia and Nancy work together in a very professional manner and achieve a smooth outcome for their patient. I experienced minimal pain with the pre-drill injections of anaesthetic and no after pain even though I was warned to keep the paracetamols handy. 😁Excellent job ladies. Thank you

Ann Tosh

Sophia & NancyI had an Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth for my wedding. Sophia was absolutely outstanding, such a lovely, kind person and extremely professional.740 were extremely accommodating toward my requirements and got my teeth wedding ready in a short period of time, even assisted with whitening and making sure they looked great in time.Would recommend 740 to anyone looking for a professional, flexible & generally great service.

Tobias Moffat

This amazing Dental practice has been looking after my teeth and oral health for many years, they were recommended to me by a friend who also had a fear of the dentist. They gave me back my smile, the Hygienist, the Dental Specialist, James and Lisa The receptionist’s are all so kind, helpful and caring. Thank you all.

Fiona Davies

After being very nervous for quite some time I finally decided to come to back to the dentist and choose 740 dental.Richard is a very nice man and your feelings and nerves was his no.1 priority.After a check up and a clean I was ready to have a root canal After passing out on a previous root canal I was more than impressed with Richard at 740 I did not feel a thing and the whole process was very relaxed and I would recommend this practice especially Richard to anyone .Kyle .Also Kate the hygienist is amazing always does exceptionally good job and what a nice lady her and her assistant are thank you ladys.Right thought I would update this review not happy st all wo t let me see the hygienist my teeth really really need cleaning im broke can't afford anything but apparently I hsve to have a check up with the dentist before I can see my hygienist again not happy at all I think its disgusting if I want a hygienist im layout g for it ans should be able to go to the hygienist all dental I. This country is far to overpriced but these lot are a joke

del boy

Im so unbelievably happy with how my experience was with 740 Dental. I had Sharon as my dentist, it was an emergency appointment for a tooth extraction. Her and her team were so lovely and explained everything as she went along. This really helped with my anxiety towards dentists. Would definitely recommend it.

Demi Gould

I’ve just been to have 2 front cracked teeth repaired by Sharon Halderhay at this practice. I could not have received better treatment from start to finish. Punctual, pain free with great results. I would highly recommend.Thank you Sharon and Kirsty.

Lynne Goemaat

I genuinely cant thank this place enough. I went in with very bad teeth that were caused by a bad dentist I was sent too when I was a teenager that was for autistics. I thought they were beyond saving and that I couldn't handle any dental work. But this place is so nice, so calm and understanding, and I now have lovely teeth! I can tell them any worry and they listen with no judgement. Ive gone from being very very scared of the dentist to now being able to have 3 fillings done at a time. They are all amazing here and I recommend to people who have issues with the dentists. I can smile now with no worry of people making horrible comments about my teeth!!!!

Glitter Marcy

I am a very, very nervous patient, due to a bad experience when young. since seeing Sophia, who takes the time to listen & understand, together with Nancy who again is very calm & caring, it is becoming less stressful each time I visit. So thank you and all of the members of staff I have come across have been really kind & helpful too.

Samantha Cake

I have used 740 dental for many years now. Last year I decided to do Invisiline treatment with them to correct my crooked teeth. It has been a great experience and the results have surpassed my expectations. They have been supportive throughout my treatment. I have had regular check-ins to monitor my progress and it's always a pleasure to go back and see the friendly staff. A special mention to Sophia and Nancy for looking after me on this journey. I love my teeth now. Recommended!! 😁

Ben Allaway

Been here all my life. The best service you can ask for. Conversations feel genuine and not transactional, and the results are always satisfactory. Really lucky to have these guys as my dentist.

Greg

I have been attending this dental practice after I approached them and conressed my fear and anxiety of the dentist I was lucky enough to see Sharon Halderthey and she was so kind and gentle that I have become a confident patient I am so glad and relieved to have found an understanding place to go to

Carol Booth

I have just had six of my bottom teeth built up as they were very worn down (composite bonding) Dr Sophia and Nancy have done an amazing job . Looks like I have new teeth!! Totally pain free procedure and now I can chew food properly. Thank you so much

Sue Tyers

I've been a visitor of this practice for many years, and I can confidently say that Angela consistently provides the best experience. Her professionalism, expertise, and welcoming attitude make every visit a pleasant one. It's rare to find someone who truly cares about their clients, and Angela always goes above and beyond to ensure a top-notch service. Highly recommend!

Josh 7991

A refreshing relaxing experience, thank you Dr. Sophia. Will definitely recommend.

Ann Marie Mecklenburgh

Very friendly and helpful staff and no hint of any pain in very capable hands! Highly recommended.

Gary O'Brien

Excellent service with kind and considerate attention.

Graham Hankins

After over two decades of no visits to dentist due to bad experience, I found a place that takes all your worries away. My dentist Sophia is the most patient, gentle and understanding. Also a big shout-out to Nancy who kept reassuring me. Both ladies kept me calm. Most of my teeth needed attention and I'm happy to say that Sophia is doing a great job. Not so worried to go back anymore.Thank you so much 😊 I would 100% recommend 740 Dental to anyone.

Jas Spencer

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟Thank you to Angela & Lauren for looking after me!This was my first filling and you both made me feel completely comfortable and safe in your expert hands.Good music too!A great patient experience 😊

Carolyne Evans

5 ⭐️ always -From the reception department right through to treatment, the entire team at 740 Dental make my experience faultless every single visit. Richard is patient and creates a very relaxed and friendly environment with absolutely no pain at all. I never fear visiting. Such a lovely practice and very worthy of brilliant reviews.

Lucy Adeney

Just experienced an amazing treatment at 740 Dental.Mrs Sharon Halderthay is an absolute Angel. Kind and understanding.For a dentist that I meet for the first time, Sharon made me feel so relaxed and happy about perfect outcome.Just what I needed.Strongly recommended!

Andreja Fennell

I would never go anywhere else!I have had 2 wisdom teeth removed now on separate occasions by Dr Richard Halderthay and Dr Marzena Fraszczak. On both times I was nervous, but was assured throughout the whole process and made comfortable. On both occasions I felt no pain at all and it was dealt with promptly and professionally.I have heard horror stories from people using other dentists and how they go for a regular check up and be told they need lots of work when they felt they do not. I had the polar opposite with Dr Halderthay, and felt assured that he was giving good, honest advice and not looking to ‘find problems’ as I’m told some dentists may do. I hadn’t been to a check up for a few years and Dr Halderthay said that my teeth were fine and didn’t need any work (except removal of wisdom tooth, which I knew about).Thanks 740. You have a customer for life!!

Jordon Franklin

I had a crown fitting by James and Lisa and was amazed at the technology use in this procedure the work carried out was absolutely painless and a perfect fit first time. Perfect job. 😃

One Tone

I have been attending this practice for many years now. Before that, I dreaded going to the dentist, as many people do. Since going to 740 Dental, I dread no longer! Richard and Marzena make the dental experience as pleasant as it can be; they're always friendly, smiling and great at putting you at ease. Richard has, in my opinion, performed miracles with my teeth over the years!My hygienist, Kate, is great too.This is the best practice I have ever attended.

Jan Spearing

Maz is a brilliant technician whose skills are only matched by her detailed knowledge.Bianca is an excellent dental nurse who has very good customer service skills and empathy with her patients and should be considered for promotion or a bonus .

gerald hickey

I wouldn’t go to anyone else Richard and Marzena are amazing, whenever I have an emergency appointment I always get seen on the same day. I am looked after so well and would recommend 740 Dental to everyone!

Lynn W

The whole process of dental implants was painless and carried in a very professional manner by James and his team. I cant recommend them highly enough. Many thanks

Charlie Davidson

I've had lengthy invisalign treatment and my dentist, Sophia, has been wonderful. She made me fully aware of all options and ensured I was comfortable with my decisions and how the treatment was progressing. Invisalign is not cheap but I felt that Sophia wanted to do right by me and would go away happy with the outcome

Angela Jones-Pert

Fantastic Dentist, Richard and Marzena are always super friendly and make the whole experience enjoyable.

Matt Martyn

Had to have a tooth removed well informed about what was going to happen and what to do after a job well done

Paul Regan

Great job from James & Lisa, the product, care and attention to detail is outstanding.Thanks again.

Alan Pollock

Marjan Lesnik

Always a very thorough and professional service . Many thanks to Marianne and Bianca .

Jill Collard

A fantastic practice. I've been going there for many years and can't fault them. Sophia was particularly helpful recently when I wasn't feeling too good and about to have some work done.Huge thanks and highly recommended.

Les Barry

I initially went to 740 in January of 2024, after many years of neglecting my dental health and routine. After recommending I see a gum specialist to get my gum health in shape first, I then embarked on a nine-month journey of many appointments including scans, crowns, and porcelain veneers. At the start of this, I only had 18 teeth in my mouth, I now have 24 and my smile is perfect. Incredible attention to detail, care and explanation from James Coupe, and all the receptionists are charming; Debbie, Narlah, Ellie, and Shabnam. My fear has totally gone, and I would highly recommend anybody to go if you have a fear. These people are utterly amazing and will make you feel very comfortable.

Nick De Souza

I have had only excellent treatment at 740 Dental. My dentist is Angela and she is brilliant, she is caring and puts to instantly at ease with excellent dental care too.I have recently had my teeth straightened with Envisalign. The orthodontist who looked after me was Sofia who also was extremely caring and easy to deal with. If I had any discomfort or worries she would always make herself available to see me. I was also extremely pleased with the end result and was told that I could contact her anytime if I had any problems. I would highly reccomend anyone who is not happy with their smile to consider Envisalign.Overall the whole practice is very welcoming and friendly and you get excellent dental care & value for money.

Wendy Rehm

Extremely happy with the smile restoration work that James carried out for me, thank you.All aspects of this dental surgery were very impressive and, in many ways most importantly, the staff were all unfailingly friendly and polite. Highly recommend based on my personal experience.

Andrew Grimshaw

Very happy to be back at 740 Dental! We moved 40 mins away and changed dentist, but they just weren’t as friendly and as good with children as 740 Dental. My 6 year old was very nervous and you put her at ease. Thank you Richard, Marzena and Shabs.

Nicola James

Got my invisalign done here ready for my wedding. I can't praise my Orthodontist/dentist Sophia, as well as Millie, Nancy, and the rest of the team enough! They sorted it on such a tight schedule for me, and made sure that on the big day I didn't have any attachments on my teeth. Everyone was super kind, friendly, and went out of their way to help; not to mention my teeth now look 10/10. For how much time went into me, the price was very reasonable. Thank you all so much x

A

Had the most gentle hygienist appointment with Laura normally come out feeling a bit painful but this time no pain what so ever during or after

Neil Werrey-easterbrook

Can’t speak more highly of this practice, the professionalism of the dentists, assistants & hygienists. Have just completed a pain free implant programme with Dr James Coupe & am more than happy & satisfied - thank you! Mary Bolton

Mary Bolton

Started my treatment very nervously. Was made to feel at ease and safe. The results have amazed me i have a smile again. Highly recommend.

Steven

Dr Richard Halderhay is the gentlest, kindest dentist I have ever met. I am a nervous patient, yet he puts me totally at ease.

Sandra Hagger

Been with 740 Dental for over 30 yearsi would say Dr James Coupe simply the best.

Addspace Construction Ltd

I have been coming to see Richard Halderthay for 25 years with my family, and he is a top Dentist!

Jo Evans

My teeth have never looked this good! The journey was long and at times painful but the end result was worth every minute.

Nicki Macfarlane

Always great care. Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Richard was super patient with my son

Ella Higgins

I’ve visited 740 Dental on a number of occasions and after years of feeling nervous about going it doesn’t bother me one bit now. I’ve recently had dental implants fitted. Sharon, who was very kind, took two of my bottom teeth out and James Coupe has worked his magic and done a superb job fitting two new implants. It was a long process but I’m over the moon with the results and so pleased I had it done. Would highly recommend 740 to anyone.

Grant family

This past year I have completed Invisalign and James and his team have all been amazing! Very accommodating in terms of appointment dates and times. Always on hand to answer any questions or tend to any concerns. I am in love with my new straight, white teeth and would highly recommend 740 dental and James to others.

Jasmine Roberts

Saw Richard with a very painful tooth. After discussing possible outcomes, it was decided to remove it. He was so kind and gentle and kept stopping for me to calm down Am not a nervous patient normally but I think my nerves were the shock of having a back tooth with three roots removed. Richard was excellent and would definitely recommend him. His nurse Marzena was so lovely too.

Christine Harlow

Excellent results from the teeth whitening. Staff were brilliant and it was a good price. Many thanks.

Matthew Parker

Sharon has really helped me to overcome my fear of any form of dentist work. She is so lovely and friendly. I have a real problem with anything clinical and medical but Sharon makes me feel at ease. She explains everything that is about to happen and makes me feel totally calm and comfortable. I would 100% recommend 740 dental, they are amazing.

Teresa Maskall

I have basic dental plan and get 4 hygenist and 2 checkups per year. It's always a pleasure and particularly thanks to Laura (hygenist) and Sharon (dentist).You certainly get what you pay for!

Brian Tharme

This is my second 5 star review for #740 Dental as I am once again SO thrilled with this practice. After wearing full dentures for many years, I met with James Coupe to discuss improving my bite as I was overwhelmed with frustration at how the ones I had at the time were functioning. I am honestly SO IMPRESSED by his knowledge and thorough determination to make me brand new bottom & top denture plates. He has TOTALLY transformed my mouth and I find I am smiling with my mouth open so much more now as well as being able to eat properly. These new dentures are the ones I should have had all along so THANK YOU SO MUCH James and the whole #740 Dental team, you guys are truly the best! I really cant recommend this practice enough!!!!

Emily Bolton

Moved to Dorset 20 years ago and tried more than 6 dentists none of whom gave any confidence as I am a very nervous patient. Then I discovered 740 dental and I can honestly say I have never visited such a caring confidence boosting dentist in all my life As a vey nervous patient they overcame my fears of dentists to the point where I have had full bridges in upper and lower teeth Probably the best dentists in Dorset if not the whole of the south

Frank Stevens

Amazing as usual I’ve never had any pain and always makes me feel relaxed,Which I thought would be impossible.Thank you Richard Halderthay.

Pat Thompson

New to the area and needing major dental work I put my faith into 740 dental practice. I cannot find words to say how pleased I am with the final result, James Coup has shown immense patience and expertise in sometimes challenging situations ….. Thank you! Also a shout to Reception, my dentist Sophie and hygienist Gill all fabulous.

Barbara Jarvis

I went to 740 Dental for an Invisalign and composite bonding journey, Steph and Sophia were very informative and supportive the whole way. I couldn't recommend them more.

Libby Eastwood

I strongly recommend 740 Dental especially Angela and Frances – They have been outstanding since day 1 and have been so patient and made me feel so relaxed as I was nervous. My treatment plan was discussed with me in detail plan costs etc, and open to change if at any time I wanted to change any of the treatment. Angela really cared about how I felt around the finished work and continuously consulted with me. I cannot thank them enough an absolute credit to 740 dental and would 100% recommend them to anyone!!! Aside from Angela and Frances all the other staff are also welcoming and friendly which was refreshing. I previously had been put off of attending dentist due to staff and dentists but 740 dental have reinstated my faith and trust and I will not be changing practices. Thank you again to the 740 dental team!!!!

Sarah Hayes

For the first time, I enjoy going to the dentist! The practice is a spacious, tranquil place, with helpful staff around from the moment you walk in. Here patients are treated as people, not just ‘another appointment’, and it makes a world of difference. My dentist, Sharon, is incredibly attentive, careful and friendly - she makes what would otherwise be unpleasant, pleasant. Thanks to everyone at 740 dental!

Allison Neugebauer

Recently had some dental work that I was dreading - Angela was super efficient and reassuring. The result is way better than I had hoped for. It wasn't cheap but it was well worth it!

Peter Wardell

My hygienist recommended James from 740 dental to do my implantsWhen I met James he was friendly and explained everything to me about implant surgery. Eventually I had 3 implants done which was pain free and I am very happy with the results and plan to have another 3 done next year. Thanks so much to James and his team.Lee Hodgson.

Lee Hodgson

I recently completed an 18-month course of treatment for implants, straightening, and whitening with Dr. James Coupe at 740 Dental. The entire experience was extremely positive, from the initial consultation to the final treatment. Dr. Coupe and his team were all fantastic, and I was consistently impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and compassion.The treatment itself was pain-free, despite being very involved and lengthy. I was always aware of what was happening, and I felt confident that Dr. Coupe and his team were taking the best possible care of me. The end result is absolutely amazing. My teeth are straight, white, and healthy, and I've had so many people comment on how good they look. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you to all the team at 740 Dental.

Wendy H

In June 2023, my husband saw Laura one of the Hygienists. He is not a confident patient and has had bad experiences at other dentists/hygienists. He was expecting to have his teeth or gums numbed so as not to feel pain which he had experienced before. Laura was very calm and reassuring and commenced her treatment. There was absolutely no pain or bleeding and anaesthesia was not required at all. He was absolutely delighted and will be booking to see Laura again in 6 months. Thank you, especially to Laura, but all the other kind & friendly staff at 740 Dental.

Tina Gajewski

I was searching for a dentist to help me fix/remove a broken tooth for 3+ years but because of the pandemic no one was taking new patients and I contacted 30+ practises private and NHS.Every day on my way to work I pass 740 and realised I haven’t tried them and by miracle they did take me on and every step has been fantastic!I let them know I was a nervous patient and I couldn’t have felt more calm and cared for in my life! Sharon Halderthay looked after me on all 3 of my visits and I couldn’t recommend her higher!! Even my partner is going to join the practice on the back of my praises and I come from a luxury retail background so to me customer service is what gains your customers trusts and builds a relationship that can last years! I’m well and truly a happy patient and will stay with this practice for years to come.While I’m still nervous on the build up to doing to the dentist once I’m in that chair I know I’m in safe hands!

Thomas Hiscocks

Excellent experience all round from the dental team at 740. My partner is extremely nervous about visiting dentists and they treated her with such kindness. Would review higher than 5 if possible.

Jacob Crane

Absolutely lovely people. My own personal dentist is amazing Sophia Johnston. She is not only looking after my teeth but the whole general wellbeing of my health. Thanks

Jessica Agba

Angela and her nurse were fantastic as always 10/10.

Gary Wife

Absolutely the best ever Dentist. i followed Richard Halthaday because of his gentle and very understanding nature, as i have always been nervous. The Surgery is immaculate and his professional skills goes beyond Perfection. Very friendly staff. 10 out of 10. Mrs Paula Key

Paula Key

I am so grateful to the team at 740 dental, especially to Mr Coupe and Steph. They were kind and professional, generous with their time, and thoughtful. Ultimately they gave us exactly the advice that we needed. I feel very confident in their expertise and would not hesitate to use the practice again.

Judith Cave

Absolutely 1st rate; the care and attention to every detail made my experience of rebuilding a crumbling set of teeth to exactly what I wanted in the shape & colour of the results. I'm most impressed with the technology used in preparing such work. I enjoyed the treatment experience from start to finish so now can smile again!!Thank you Sophia & Megs.

Chris Petch

WOW what an amazing dental practice -Totally transformed my smile!From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by such a friendly reception team (I am quite a nervous patient, so this really does help), to then have this same kind and caring manor brought through into the dental room by the team there.The staff are very thorough, and take their time in communicating with you about all options and give dental advice without being condescending.After I had my front crowns replaced and 2 veneers added, my smile really was truly transformed and now I always get comments on how lovely my teeth look. And best of all the treatment was pain free!THANK YOU 740!!!!

Gemma Gibson

I am so impressed with 740 dental. I’m an extremely nervous patient after having bad experiences with other dentists, but this was actually a pleasant experience. The receptionist who booked my experience was extremely polite and sensitive to my needs. When I arrived everyone was friendly and polite. The dentist I saw for an emergency filling, Sharon, was so kind and gentle. I barely felt any pain, whereas in the past it has been excruciating. Her nurse was brilliant and was so spot on with suction that I didn’t swallow anything. Thank you so much to everyone at 740 Dental. You are all amazing and have restored my faith in dentists. I am even booking in to see the hygienist and for a check up with Sharon.
