After sending a photo of my broken tooth I received a prompt response with an early appointment for work which was completed in 1 relaxed session. I now cannot tell which tooth was the problem one! Full marks and a house point!

I cannot recommend the practice enough. I went there feeling very anxious as I had a bad experience with a previous dentist. But Nicola and Sarah reassured me that it would be fine. I haven't looked back thanks to there kindness and thoughtfulness and patience. Cheryl.

I recently switched dentists to the High Street Dental Practice and I'm so pleased I did. Nicola Merson is excellent. I've just had a new bridge fitted. She has given great advice, she explains each stage of the procedure, she's so gentle and I feel I'm in safe hands. Nicola and her assistant have made the whole process as pleasant as possible and my bridge looks great. I would highly recommend her practice.

Started using hsdpp about 20 years ago after 2 bad experiences with other dentists. Nikki and Sarah are great as I was a nervous patient after previous experiences at other dentists. I would recommend this practice.

I recently had root canal treatment from Nicola. Having had root canal before, I was really not looking forward to it. But this experience was completely pain free and not uncomfortable. For years my customers have been recommending her, now I know why.
