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.

I am very satisfied with the excellent standard of care that I have received from Nikki and Sarah at the High Street dental practice for last 20 years. Nothing is too much trouble at this friendly surgery.

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.
