Ask before about your prescription charges

For one minute treatment they charge me £46 and for prescription I’d never knew the rule where they don’t give you paper prescription. You have to buy a prescription from them which costed me £26 rather than £10.

We are disappointed to read your review. Your appointment on Christmas Eve was made independently, not under the NHS.
Therefore, we cannot provide an NHS prescription. Your assessment, diagnosis, and antibiotics were dispensed to you for a total charge of £46.00.
We hope you are now feeling better.

Dentist Visit

I'm a very nervous patient and hate any dentist visits. Made to feel totally relaxed in a warm and caring environment

Thank you, Amanda, for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Just Wow…

I visited your practice yesterday after (12.35 with Tannay) this was an emergency appointment for a problem that I have put off for 7 whole years due to being petrified of any dental work or any dentist. How wrong I was !!!!
From the moment I walked through the reception door I was greeted with smiling friendly faces, the whole atmosphere was very calm and very chilled, even though very busy the practice runs like a very well oiled machine. It was a joy to hear staff chatting and laughing together - not stuffy or regimental like usual surgery’s. 
It was not too long of a wait before a lovely assistant came and fetched me and took me to the most incredible room with a view and Tannay was waiting for me . He was so kind , so patient and so understanding obviously noticing I was nervous he talked me through every single step of what was going to happen and what to expect after  . Within minutes my 7 years of suffering was over .
I am so happy to have found The Scott Arms Practice and I have already booked my next appointment. Paying the bill was also a nice experience- no overcharging or feeling of being ripped off ! 
This practice get a well deserved 10/10 from me . Thank you to Tannay and his nurse ( so annoyed with myself for not asking her name ) you have both restored my faith so hopefully one day I can be proud of my smile again.

Good treatment from start to finish....

From Reception to the dentist chair and back, I was well taken care of. There was a slight delay to my appointment which wasn't acknowledged but I had a very positive experience under the expert care of Dara Cotton. She is welcoming, knowledgeable and pragmatic in her approach. Always careful to acknowledge my needs as a patient.

Tyler & Nikki provides high-quality dental care.

Tyler provides high-quality, patient-centred care. He always has time to for an informal quick chat before he asks about your medication & dental routines.
He is always extremely professional, demonstrates empathy, concern, & full understanding of patient needs according to individual needs.
Tyler always pays attention to detail during dental cleans & is the best hygienist ever. He provides the most comprehensive cleans & is really adept at using small instruments causing very little discomfort.
He works well as a team with his excellent technician.
Nikki as always is a top notch dentist & is second to none.

As a team what you’ve said really does mean so much to us all, especially making you feel at ease – we understand that feeling apprehensive is very normal, so for you to feel the way you did, is exactly what we’d want to achieve for all of our patients.

Shailee, simply marvellous

There are a couple of minus's. Parking is a bit of an issue as they are so popular & there seems to be a national shortage of hygienists which they are trying to address.
The big plus point is, as much as I hate going to the Dentists, Shailee is a wonderful Dentist.

Thank you, Rob, for your feedback. We really do appreciate that you’ve taken the time to say what you’ve said.
Just so you know that alternative parking is mentioned in the appointment confirmation email we send, in case you ever need it.
We’re working hard to recruit the right candidates to join our wonderful team of hygienists/therapists, so the level of care and dedication is maintained at the highest level for our patients.
We will certainly pass on your comments to Shailee, she’ll be delighted!
We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment 😊

Best dentist is DR SHYAM

I booked at scott arms in an emergency thinking the worst but left with the best outcome and relieved from pain. I was seen by DR Shyam who was very gentle and informative of the treatment I required this made me feel at ease. Couldn’t thank DR Shyam enough.
All the staff at the practice are all friendly and helpful. Would go back again and recommend to anyone!

Unfortunately these guys ain’t my own dentists and I’ve only ever used these guys in an emergency where it’s out of hours or when I can’t get an appointment at my own dentist. However they never seem to disappoint me. They always have been transparent and open with me regarding the best solution and treatment I need and as they say you pay for quality and only wish I lived near them and I could use them more often.

The fillings used are terrible

The fillings used are terrible, I understand it’s a temporary filling but it should last longer then 24 hours absolutely terrible

We're sorry to hear that your temporary filling has come out. As temporary fillings are designed to be a short-term solution, they can be unpredictable in terms of how long they last. Please call the practice on 0121 357 5000, and we will be happy to arrange a replacement for you.
