I recently changed dentists for a variety of reasons - distance to travel, appointment availability and regular dentist retiring. I should have done it years ago! This is my third visit to Kelmscott Dental under the care of Dr Abraham and I cannot recommend him enough. I am absolutely blown away by his friendly, efficient, professional manner, the attention to detail with treatments and the high quality of his work. I have been treated by many dentists over the years but this has to be the best by far ! The receptionists and dental nursing staff are also just so lovely. My nurse today was Nadia

OUTSTANDING
It's taken 40 years to find a dentist I'm happy with. Cannot praise them enough. Up to date equipment. Cover everything I need in one place. Abraham is my dentist. He is so nice, gentle and explains everything. Everyone is so friendly and today I got a follow up call to see how I was fairing. That NEVER happened with my previous dentists. Definitely recommended them

Ive not had great experiences with dentists before, one particular memory was horric, but this place and specifically Dr Thanvamani has completely changed the way i feel about going to the dentist.
Today, for example, i had an appointment for 1 hr 20 minutes, shoul have been awful but i am put so much at ease. He uses numbing gel so that i dont feel pain with injections and talks me through all he is doing as he's doing it to calm things. Best dentist ive been to. Got to go again in a month and no longwr feel anxious in anticipation. Highly recommended.

I have just been to the Kelmscott dental clinic to have a 6 tooth bridge that I acquired overseas in the Philippines 4 years ago removed. It had cracked in half. Ranier Anderson did an excellent job of removing the bridge and extracting 5 teeth and a root that had been left in. An instant denture was put in. It was accomplished with no sedation, just anaesthetic, in the chair. Very friendly, helpful and competent dentist. Staff were wonderful and I would definitely recommend them
