What our patients say
Anonymous - South Ham
"I recently needed an urgent appointment on a Friday evening. My previous dental practice close early on a Friday and are closed all weekend. Damira were able to fit me in for an appointment the next morning. Since then, I have transferred to Damira and had a follow up appointment. Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff - I am already recommending the practice to family and friends."

"I have just completed Week One of my Invisalign treatment. Everything is going to plan and I have been kept informed at every stage. My dentist and his assistant are amazing. I have never, ever been so happy to visit the dentist. They make it such a positive experience. Everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Damira Dental Studio"

"She straight away made me feel comfortable by listening to my dental history & understood my concerns and how I felt. She took the best way to make me feel less nervous & continuously asked if I was okay. I was given good advice & shown good techniques to how to clean my teeth. I now feel more confident to see a Hygienist specially this lady. Thank you so much."
