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.
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟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 😊
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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. 😃
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.
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 .
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!
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
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
Fantastic Dentist, Richard and Marzena are always super friendly and make the whole experience enjoyable.
Had to have a tooth removed well informed about what was going to happen and what to do after a job well done
Great job from James & Lisa, the product, care and attention to detail is outstanding.Thanks again.
Visit regularly and always receive excellent treatment, expert advice& friendly and warm welcome from Angela. Dental 740 are101% professional.
Always a very thorough and professional service . Many thanks to Marianne and Bianca .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Dr Richard Halderhay is the gentlest, kindest dentist I have ever met. I am a nervous patient, yet he puts me totally at ease.
Been with 740 Dental for over 30 yearsi would say Dr James Coupe simply the best.
I have been coming to see Richard Halderthay for 25 years with my family, and he is a top Dentist!
My teeth have never looked this good! The journey was long and at times painful but the end result was worth every minute.
Always great care. Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Richard was super patient with my son
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.
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.
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.
Excellent results from the teeth whitening. Staff were brilliant and it was a good price. Many thanks.
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.
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!
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!!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Angela and her nurse were fantastic as always 10/10.
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
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.
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.
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!!!!
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.
Great service and very friendly and helpful staff.
I have been a patient of Richard Halderthay for 20 years. He is a lovely person and also an excellent dentist. Whenever there is something serious to be done to my ever troubling teeth he talks me through the possible downsides but then he always does a fantastic job and I am always really grateful for the outcome and there are no downsides, or pain. The team are great too.
740 Dental were recommended to me by my mother in law. At the time I had 2 badly cracked & broken teeth, extremely sensitive and I thought I would need to have removed or crowned.Richard explained the approach they take to preserving and reconstructing teeth. I now have all of my own teeth, no crowns, no extractions and even better, the sensitivity is gone.Both my children now see Richard & Marzena and they are so relaxed about having their appointments. All round, the best dental experience I have ever had.
The best dentist there is . Kind , caring & extremely professional . Wouldn’t go anywhere else . All staff are fantastic 😁
Well where do I begin. I have Health Anxiety which for some reason ended up spiralling out to the dentist meaning I hadn’t been for 5 odd years. I’d been so keen to go but just too terrified of being told the worst news. So I did some research and found 740 who I read all the reviews (hence writing one myself) as if I hadn’t read any I may still be in the same position.I stumbled up the courage and had a new patient exam I cried a lot with worry and fear before going but from the moment I stepped in the receptionists we’re just lovely.I was assigned Richard as my dentist and he is so very Patient with me. I have had my initial exam and was given my dental plan which I’ve already started. I saw a wonderful hygienist (I can’t remember name as was so nervous) and today I had a root canal which I worked myself up so much for I was shaking! Richard and his dental nurse were incredible they made me feel so at ease and Richard was so gentle I didn’t even feel the numbing injections going in AT ALL (all 3 of them) I couldn’t believe it once it was done! All of that worry.I have an extraction next also and bit worried as it’s just an anxiety I have but I’m so reassured now Richard won’t let anything hurt!If you have dental anxiety get yourself to 740 I’m so so relieved I can now begin my journey to Invisalign and white teeth
Fabulous practice, with gentle considerate dentists. We have been coming here as a family for more than 20 years and I do reccomend the practice to all, especially those nervous of the dentist.
Came in today for an emergency appointment was seen by Angela who was so sweet, so reassuring and really made such a difference to me and my outlook. Thank so much, will be coming back for regular appointments this is start to getting my smile back!!
Gill Austin did my teeth today , I had a full clean, I’m not the best at the dentist but she made me feel very calm and told me in detail everything she was doing and was very patient with me. 100% recommend staff extremely friendly too. Well worth the trip there thank you again Gill😁
Dr J Coupe provided excellent service for my 7 years old son. He did everything to safe his tooth.I can’t thank 740 dental clinic enough – and I could not recommend them higher. Thank you
Excellent as always. Lovely people, very professional. High quality efficient service. Highly recommended.
740 dental are amazing. I am a nervous patient but now have total trust in my new dentist Sharon She performed emergency root canal going over and above to see me quickly, it was painless and I am so grateful. It’s wonderful when you know you have a dentist you can trust. My teeth will soon be up to scratch again after being left untreated properly by the nhs. Thankyou so much
After a lifetime (I am 77years old), of being scared of the dentist and not going unless I really, really had to, I am so pleased that a friend recommended me to 740. I had such a warm welcome from Angela and was put at ease straight away. Everyone is very professional but at the same time there are so many smiles from staff and patients. I have just been back for my second visit and I was actually looking forward to going.I don’t know what it is but you seem to be sprinkled with ‘happy dust” as you walk in. I and looking forward to having my smile back in three weeks time.
This morning I have had two fillings and a crown, I must admit I wasn't particularly looking forward to my visit to the dentist, who does? However with modern technology and super professionalism from my dentist ( Dr.A Prynne) I can honestly say that it was a totally painless experience and to be able to have the whole treatment carried out in one visit was very convenient too.Very pleased with result.As always very attentive and very recommendable.
