Am so happy to have found Hove Dental clinic.Like many, work and life and parenting meant my own teeth went on the back burner.It is absolutely testament to Scarlett that I now feel confident to embark on the long overdue hygienist programme to try and get health restored and some confidence back around smiling.I did some research first - and Scarlett gets great reviews. I worked out that now it's perfectly standard to find a great hygienist and make a separate journey there rather than rely on the one at the dentist.Being open on a Saturday is a bit of a godsend too.Scarlett identified what needed doing and gave me a great treatment removing years of plaque and my mouth feels so much brighter and shinier already. Have booked in another two sessions to get back on track and feel extremely positive about the process.Thank you Scarlett, Jessica who works with her - and to the lovely lady on Reception.I was so anxious too - and that's all gone.🙏🙏🙏

The staff are so friendly and I’m always put at ease when I visit. I keep regular hygienist appointments and see the dentist twice a year. Very important for me to keep that up. This practice is really calm and quiet which is a very nice experience.

What a great find! I am always nervous of going to the dentist and felt so at ease with Jenny the Hygienist. She was so kind and patient and did such an incredible job on my teeth. It really lifted my spirits! We drove over from Hastings. It was well worth the trip! Also big thank you to the manager at the front desk. So friendly and helpful as well. Great dental practice!

Dimitri is an absolute Godsend! I have a severe dental phobia and he has been nothing but kind, patient and understanding - I only wish I'd found him years ago! I also had a hygienist appointment with Nathalie, she was absolutely lovely and I will no longer fear the hygienist! This is a wonderful, modern, clean practice, with very friendly reception staff and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend - especially for anxious patients!

James Bluring

09:37 12 Jun 26

Very pleased to have found Hove Dental Clinic - great experience all round. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Bal has been an excellent dentist, solving a few issues and tailoring the treatment according to what I need - and managed to fix a chip just in time for my wedding day!

Absolutely lovely experience both for dental appointment and hygienist. Very thorough, informative and helpful dental treatment and hygienist very kind and thorough too. I needed an appointment quickly and the team were very considerate and very quick. Pleasant environment and lovely people. Whole experience was excellent. Thank you!

I travel a long way to come here - from Seaford to Hove, but it's a wonderful practice so worth the journey. Dimitri is the ultimate professional and is also kind, considerate and reassuring. He has done astounding work on my teeth including root canal, crowns and a bridge, together with a thorough 6-monthly check up. If you want the best in dental treatment please visit him. I assure you - you won't be disappointed.The reception team are unfailingly helpful, polite and friendly too.

A very friendly, welcoming and relaxed experience, which was essential as I'd not been to the dentist for a long time. Registering was easy and I was given explanations of what would happen and what I could expect beforehand and during my consultations with both the dentist and hygienist. My initial work has been carried out expertly with great care and effective pain management. I am very happy I chose HDC and will continue with them for years to come.

John Williams

15:49 12 May 26

My visits to Hove Dental Clinic on Portland Road have always been very good. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming, and the waiting area feels calm and comfortable rather than clinical. Dimitri and his nurses are lovely, and I was really pleased with the filling and advice. Dimitri always takes a few minutes to put me at ease and talk through what I need before starting treatment. I’d happily recommend the clinic.

Mia B

12:12 15 Apr 26

I had such a positive experience during my dental hygiene appointment. Anastasia, the hygienist, was absolutely amazing. She explained everything so clearly and took the time to make sure I understood each step, which really helped me feel at ease.Holly, the dental nurse, was assisting and was just as kind and supportive throughout. Together, they created such a calm and reassuring environment. As someone who feels quite anxious about dental visits, I really appreciated their patience, gentleness, and the way they continuously checked in on me.Their level of care and professionalism truly stood out, and I felt very well looked after from start to finish. I’m so grateful for their kindness and would highly recommend them, especially to anyone who feels nervous about dental appointments.

Came here for an emergency which unfortunately led to an extraction. For both the initial treatment, and extraction a few days later they were great with a nervous patient, and very good at listening to what would make me more comfortable. The extraction, done by Rik Patel, was quick, painless and left me confident in coming back here for further treatment.

Jenny and Gorgie are absolutely amazing at what they do.very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming and nice. Clean. I booked in for a hygienist and it was the best cleaning I've ever got. Thank you so much my teeth look and feel so much better. I never seen such a difference in my teeth by just cleaning. I'm amazed.

Gavin Elliot

16:00 07 Jan 26

Have been with this practice for many and the high standards we have been used to are still in evidence. I saw Jenny one of the hygienists who agreed to treat me despite a medical condition requiring particular care. All good,very happy with the treatment. The reception team are excellent, very polite and friendly. We have come to know Olivia quite well and she takes the time (where possible) to enquire about my particular circumstances.

sara cahill

09:07 28 Dec 25

The hygienists in this practice are amazing. I've seen 2 different people and both were excellent. It's a bit more pricey than average maybe but the level of care and advice are worth it. I have had the new biofilm cleaning which was great and a traditional hygienist clean. The practice is modern and bright and the receptionists are very friendly.

Wilfred Assin

19:44 12 Dec 25

Hove Dental Clinic is a welcoming practice with helpful, friendly reception staff who are extremely efficient. The practice itself has a very professional, calming atmosphere. My experience of the preventative care (dental checkups and hygienist) as well as my experience of restorative work has been exceptional. I can highly recommend this dental clinic!

Claire Gwynn

18:04 10 Dec 25

It is the most welcoming surgery with wonderful reception staff, nothing too much trouble. The hygienist Anastasia was so gentle, explaining everything she was about to do. Rachil, the dentist is amazing she makes me feel quite at ease. The whole place is very efficient, well run. Can't praise it enough.

Yolanda Y. Liou

21:53 05 Dec 25

Absolutely thankful that I came to this dental, I had really terrible one and all the dentists and staffs there were extremely friendly, helpful. I was in extreme pain, and they made sure I was ok with every step and thoroughly explained everything, with the best professional service, even squeezed me in when they already got a full day appointments. I didn't have a dentist before but I'm now for sure staying with them, thank you so much!

My son Christopher has learning difficulties and is disabled, so we decided to have him sedated for his teeth to be cleaned as he had a lot of plaque that was impossible to remove He was very anxious, but when he met David he was lovely with Chris and talked him through the whole process. Then he met Scarlett, who was also so lovely to him and reassured him. Throughout the whole process they were both amazing with him and I would thoroughly recommend them both. Chris is now very happy with his clean teeth and if he has to go back for a clean he is not afraid to.

I have been coming to Hove Dental Clinic for nearly 4 years and I have always been extremely happy with the treatment I have received. The premises are beautiful and very well maintained. The reception team are really friendly and very efficient. Dr Dmitri is an exceptional dentist - I feel like he cares about me as a whole person, not just from a dental aspect. He is always very courteous; he clearly explains what the situation with regards to my dental needs and involves me in the discussion about treatment options. Additionally he is very careful in his approach and is meticulous in his work.I would thoroughly recommend this clinic to anyone!

A great experience with Scarlett, I'm really happy with my results from the hygiene and air flow procedure... Scarlett is very professional and has great energy, made me feel very relaxed and calm. 10/10 experience, I have booked my next appointment already.

Jon May

17:15 07 Oct 25

Came to the clinic for an emergency extraction on my son's tooth after our own dentist was unavailable, and had an excellent experience. We got a same day appointment and the dentist - Rachil - was very gentle, explained everything in clear and accessible terms, and really put us at ease. Highly recommended.

Charlotte Skinner

I saw Scarlett today for a new patient hygienist appointment at Hove Dental Clinic. She was so patient, kind and thorough with the cleaning and I can honestly say it was my best cleaning experience so far. I left feeling positive that I’d taken a step towards taking better care of my teeth and also received some tips on how to maintain my newly shiny smile. Thank you to her and nurse Lauren, and also to the lovely reception ladies 🫶🪥🦷

I am so glad to have found Hove dental. Dimitri, David and Antonia & wider team have been so incredibly patient with me being an extremely anxious patient and for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m in control with my dental care. I am so so grateful to all of the team, the reception team are equally as wonderful, putting up with my anxiety-induced tears/panics and doing their utmost to keep me calm. As well as all of this which I feel is a dental team that go above and beyond, I’m on the right track now to getting my teeth in a great place, and I only have praise for such a wonderful team.

Matt Norman

I had a teeth whitening procedure at Hove Dental Clinic, Scarlett Simson was brilliant from start to finish. Explained everything clearly before we started and during the treatment. She was professional but had a lovely manner and made the whole experience enjoyable. I am over the moon with the result and would really recommend Hove Dental Clinic and Scarlett. Thankyou so much Scarlett 👌🏼

Hayley S

11:22 19 Aug 25

I had such a positive experience with Scarlett Simson. They were friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease throughout my appointment. Everything was explained clearly, and the cleaning was done thoroughly but gently. My teeth feel amazing, and I left with some really helpful tips for keeping on top of my oral health at home. I’d highly recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for excellent care and a great experience at the dentist.”

Really happy with my visit to Hove Dental Clinic.The clinic is super clean and everyone is so friendly.The hygienist Scarlett was amazing – really gentle, took her time, and explained things in a way that made me feel comfortable. My teeth feel so fresh and clean now. Definitely recommend!

Megan Scott

12:19 12 Aug 25

I was very nervous about getting two fillings but Dimitri and nurse Lauren completely put me at ease today. They worked excellently together and I found the whole experience to be so much better than I imagined. Dimitri explained everything so well beforehand so nothing was unexpected and checked I was ok multiple times. I have always worried about my teeth and being in a dentists chair but feel so comfortable here, I highly recommend!The reception staff are also very lovely and always brilliant.Thank you!

Kathlen Schneider

I had a composite bonding done on my front tooth with Dr. Rachil Stafylidou and I’m really happy with the result! It looks great and natural. Dr. Rachil was amazing, very kind, clear, and knowledgeable. She explained everything really well and did a great job! The receptionists were also very kind and friendly.

Georgia Hope

15:19 24 Jun 25

The best hygienist appointment! I had a hygienist appointment with Antonia who was so lovely and explained the whole process, checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable and was so gentle. After having a bad hygienist experience in the past at a different clinic I was very nervous but I had nothing to worry about. Receptionist was lovely too. Will defiantly be returning here.

Sarah Oliver

19:28 13 Jun 25

I am a new patient at the Practice. I moved to Hove 2 years ago and it has taken me this long to build up the courage to visit a dentist( I am very scared).The reception staff are lovely and the surgery is smart and immaculate. I saw Bethany the hygienist and she gave me a really thorough check and clean.I had a check up and filling with Balawal and he was amazing. He was so kind and reassuring and put me at ease. He was really gentle and my new filling is incredibly neat. Thank you Balawal!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practice.

Cassie Brownlie

15:19 03 Jun 25

This is an impressive practice: very nice setting; front desk staff are friendly and professional; hygienist (Bethany) is lovely - approachable, knowledgeable and lacking any of the judgment I've often found within the dental profession.Second time here and will definitely continue - highly recommend.

Estelle L'Heureux

17:54 02 Jun 25

Amazing first consultation with Dimitri, you feel in safe hands immediately and completely at ease. He explained the treatment needed in detail giving you complete reassurance. The receptionists and dental nurse were friendly and professional and you feel looked after as soon as you walk in. Thankyou.

Wendy Hart

15:49 20 May 25

They are a very friendly team at the Hove Dental clinic. This puts you at your ease especially if you're a bit nervous about visiting the dentist.Any treatment is always explained in advance and discussed so that you know what is needed and why.This practice is highly recommended.

Jeni Woods

13:53 14 May 25

Fantastic team, they explained everything thing so well and made me feel at ease when I could not hold the anxiety and tears back… after a very long complicated dental history my fears were acknowledged and I am still in disbelief that I made it there after so many years with my head in the sand. The reception have also allowed me to communicate and book on line as I find telephones very difficult…. So far so good long way to go but feeling I am with the right team of professionals thank you 🙏

HarrieLily Sands

14:00 09 May 25

Just fantastic. I have been suffering with tooth pain for ages after another dentist turned me away with an incorrect diagnosis. I am extremely anxious of the dentist and the whole experience was calming and I felt looked after. I can now happily say I am able to go on without the pain anymore and know that 100% this is where I will carry on coming for dentist appointments.

Chloee Crozier

11:47 05 Apr 25

I’ve honestly had the best experience at Hove Dental clinic, Dr Dimitri’s work is outstanding, he gave me my smile back and i honestly cannot thank him enough! All of the team at Hove dental are lovely as well, makes the whole experience lovely. Thank you!!

23:32 23 Mar 25

I am a recent customer, and all I can say is how fantastic this clinic is. Other than a regular check up I went for the teeth whitening. The team have all been nothing short of amazing! The best dental clinic I have been with by far

Matt Brown

17:54 25 Feb 25

Fantastic dental practice. Have spent a lot of time there over the last year, fixing problems, not least my fear. Everyone has been an absolute pleasure. Friendly and helpful reception staff, the hygienist I’ve seen, Beth, is brilliant, and Rachil, my dentist, has not only fixed my teeth, but has gone a long way to fix my fear. Would absolutely recommend.

Jacob de Figueiredo

17:05 29 Jan 25

Had a fantastic appointment with Dr Rik and Nurse Lauren today for a tooth extraction. I was nervous at the start but they eased me into it and the whole procedure was over before i even knew it.They told me exactly what was going to happen and what to do afterwards, in the end, I had nothing to be worried about!The reception desk were lovely as always, super accommodating and helpful.High recommend!!

Richard Miller

13:44 15 Jan 25

I had my first teeth cleaning at the Hove Dental Clinic, and I can highly recommend them. The hygienist Natalie was very pleasant and informative and did the cleaning with as little discomfort as possible. My thanks to her nurse Lauren, who assisted. Also, my appreciation to the friendly, professional staff at the front desk. Overall, a very modern dental clinic. I will definitely return.

Liz Wickham

11:17 08 Jan 25

Great experience at Portland Road branch of Hove Dental Clinic. Friendly reception and Bethany, the hygienist I saw, was brilliant. I haven't been to the dentist in a good few years and she was very reassuring that the experience would be similar to what I had with her. Friendly, honest and clear with what was happening. If you are a nervous patient she will put your mind at ease.

Callum Camille

21:19 27 Dec 24

Hove dental clinic has been professional throughout my experience there.Both my hygienist Natalie and dentist Julia have gone above and beyond my own expectations and always shown a thorough care and attention to detail every time I have been there.Olivia and Pam on reception have also been excellent, keeping me in the loop regarding any appointment changes, which are incredibly rare, in a timely fashion and always putting my own needs first.

Nick Dunlop

17:11 27 Nov 24

Our first visit, having moved to Hove recently and searching for a new dentist. We were just hugely impressed. The level of care and attention to detail at our first consultation were excellent. The team on reception were welcoming and handled future bookings and payment efficiently. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Thomas Ferguson

13:28 08 Oct 24

Extremely lovely reception team, took their time to explain all the treatments available and the cost. A genuine friendly approach to their customers.Used their hygienist (forgot her name, sorry) and she was absolutely lovely. Excellent at explaining the treatment, how to improve on dental health and wasn't afraid to have a laugh in the process. Her approach was so friendly that it relieved a huge amount of anxiety I usually carry when going to the dentist. 10/10 would recommend! (probably the best dental experience I've had in this country)
