"Dr Taheri did my orthodontic work. It was a very speedy and thorough treatment. It was for my wedding and I was really confident on my wedding day with lots of compliments about my smile.... a day full of smiles!"

"I asked my previous Dentist if I could have veneers, they replied no as the gaps between my teeth were too wide so I went to see Dr Zohreh who said it would be difficult but possible. The whole process was carried out very efficiently and I was kept informed at all stages. We are both extremely pleased with the end result, smiling is now a pleasure for both of us and I would not hesitate to recommend the practice to anyone."

"From start to finish my experience with dental on the banks was fantastic. From the welcoming staff, the complementary coffee and making me feel comfortable in a new environment (always feared the dentist!), being put at instant ease by the amazing team discussing options and educating me on what I needed. The attention to detail and care that went into the work by Dr Junaid was amazing. Very affordable and highest of quality, thanks to everyone down there!"

"DOTB helped me face my phobia of having fillings. I was booked in for sedation at another practice but Dr Junaid assured me I didn't need to do this and trust that he could do the work needed without sedation. Again Dr Junaid was calming and took his time to reduce my anxiety. I was completely pain free, watched a film on the screen above me and successfully had a deep filling and second filling completed in one visit. Fantastic experience with Dr Junaid Malik. Took his time to explain everything. Beautiful place and lovely people, I can't thank him and his dental team enough."

“I finally have the smile I always wanted. No fear or self-criticism holding me back.”

— Lillie

I know this may sound silly, but when I first started my business, a lot of self-criticism made its way into my world, and I believed people didn't want to work with me because of my smile. I used to be so nervous meeting a new client because of how 'goofy' my teeth were. That takes me back; 'goofy' was a reference I would answer to back in school days. I'd lived with this insecurity my whole life. If I knew the person I wanted to be, the business I wanted to run, I had to do one thing. GET MY TEETH DONE!

I approached Dental On The Banks shortly after they opened and I was stunned. Not just at the beautiful appearance, but how the price was really no different to the average dental practice in Bournemouth and Poole, yet at Dental On The Banks - you're not waiting half an hour later than your appointment time, and there aren't any creaks when you walk to the waiting room.

The service at Dental On The Banks is, in its best description, having afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. Let me talk this through. At the bottom we have the most perfectly homemade scones, still warm. You walk into DOTB, and you're greeted with the warmest smiles and service - your coffee is served quite literally, but DOTB go a step further than Fortnum & Mason in this case and print your gorgeous face on the coffee. I know, crazy!

Let's move up a level: those perfectly cut sandwiches - have you ever seen anything like it? I have. Dental On The Banks are pure perfectionists at what they do; they finely tune every tiny detail of your treatment, probably even details you didn't notice yourself. Now we have the cutest little cakes, ok so you may have to cut out cake on your treatment plan; just kidding. With Invisalign, you can remove your tray, eat, clean your teeth and pop your tray back in; nothing is coming between you and those cakes! Lastly, the endless sandwiches your waiter/waitress continuously comes around with, unlimited - THAT is the aftercare you get at Dental On The Banks. You aren't a number, you are a name, a name that they remember and a name that they want to be in contact with and truly care about. Your teeth are like diamonds to DOTB.

That's why I will never go to another dentist again. I've met my match, and you cannot begin to understand how amazing I feel when I smile now. No fear or self-criticism holding me back; your wellbeing is much more than you possibly think, and it deserves more attention and investment than you possibly give it. Do not let anything hold you back from smiling and being your best version. After lockdown, please locate me at Fortnum & Mason showing off my Dental On The Banks smile.

“First-class service, attention to detail and professionalism at DOTB was outstanding.”

— Louise

From my first meeting with Dr Damon and Dr Junaid, I knew that I was in the very best hands to have my dental treatment and the smile that I had dreamed about for a long time. It did not disappoint! The first-class service, attention to detail and professionalism at DOTB was outstanding, so much so that my daughter is also about to embark upon her dental journey with the superb team.

“I was leaving with a smile I couldn't wait to show off!”

— Farah

After having composite bonding on my front teeth at a different dentist abroad, I really wasn't impressed by the results. I was so glad to discover Dental on the Banks and their work! They were able to completely redo my composite bonding to get my teeth looking exactly as I had wanted them to! I went in disappointed with the look of my teeth, and after just one appointment I was leaving with a smile I couldn't wait to show off! With such a beautiful clinic and amazing and friendly team of staff, I now want to go here for anything to do with my teeth going forward. Thank you!

Fantastic service from Dental on the Banks. In-depth first appointment with the dentist, and then my subsequent appointment for my small filling was great. As someone that is slightly nervous going for dental procedures, I felt at ease especially seeing as it was all done so fast!

I couldn't have picked a better place to have my Invisalign journey done. All of the staff are so kind and thoughtful and even take the time to get to know you whilst having catchups each session. Consistently positive and extra helpful throughout the whole process, and are always available for assistance with fast responses. All of the Doctors are always looking to perfect your smile wherever they can and I'm delighted with the results, with a special mention to Dr Paula whole was a gem throughout. I know for the future any appointments, consultations or issues with my teeth I will come to Dental on the Banks.

I had a wonderful experience at dental on the banks. From the moment you walk in, the environment is friendly and inviting. Paula's great energy kept me relaxed throughout my procedure on day 1 of my invasalign. Choosing dental on the banks as my invasalign providers was a good decision!

I've been going to Dental on the Banks for the last 3 years and honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. While they may be slightly more expensive than some other dentists in Bournemouth or Poole, the level of care and service is on a completely different level. Every single appointment has been smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. They've always been incredibly accommodating when I've needed to change appointments at short notice, and they even remember the days and times that work best for me when booking future check-ups. What really stands out is how comfortable they make you feel. Every filling, hygienist appointment, and check-up I've had has been genuinely pain-free, and the whole team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and looked after. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with a massive smile. If you're looking for a dentist where the service, care, and experience genuinely justify the price, I honestly couldn't recommend Dental on the Banks highly enough.

Absolute pleasure to deal with from the start. Great price too. Everyone is friendly, professional and accommodating. The facilities were 10/10 too. I could not fault any part of the process. Most importantly, chuffed with the results and highly recommend to anyone out there contemplating whether it's worth the money! It is!

I can't recommend Paula enough! She is incredibly kind, professional, and always such a pleasure to see at every appointment. What really stands out, though, are the amazing results; my hair reduction has been fantastic, and I couldn't be happier. She truly knows what she's doing and makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. Paula is the best!

I've never enjoyed going to the dentist… until Dental on the Banks! From the moment you walk in, the whole team makes you feel completely at ease. The reception staff are warm and welcoming, the hygienist is gentle and reassuring, and the dentist and nurses are incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. They genuinely make what's usually a stressful experience feel calm, comfortable, and even pleasant. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

I had composite bonding done with Dr Jason and I cannot speak highly enough of the service and result. Him and Martha were amazing throughout my treatment and ensuring I was always informed with what was going on the and the options available. Can't thank them both enough for giving me my confidence back with my smile

Really lovely team! All the staff were friendly and helpful - explaining each part of the process carefully and making sure I was happy with each step. Lovely and warming place too, it makes you feel comfortable and relaxed from the beginning, exactly what you need when going to the dentist!

Linda Abbiss5 reviews · 12 photos

An absolutely beautiful place. It's more like visiting a spa than a dentist but more importantly than the beautiful aesthetics was the service I received from the staff there. The lady who talked me through the whole process of Invisalign was an absolute delight, a consummate professional and very informative and patient with all my endless questions. Although the location is a bit out of the way for someone who relies on public transport I have no doubt in my mind that if I do decide to go ahead I will go nowhere else. A lot of businesses could learn a lot from this company about outstanding customer service because that is definitely what I received. I have confidence in this dental practice that I am in the hands of professional skilled dental staff and that my Invisalign journey with them will achieve amazing results that I will be very happy with. 5* service, 5* Practice. Fives across the board and would have no hesitation in recommending whatsoever. They also have an impressive amount of awards proudly on display which gives me even greater confidence. A very informative, detailed consultation with good demonstrations of how much difference Invisalign can have on the overall look of your teeth and face in general 😁

Dental on the Banks have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble, and everything is always clearly explained. Staff are super helpful, friendly and really care about your journey. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them. I now have lovely straight teeth, something I've always been conscious about. Thank you to all the team.

I can't praise all of the team at Dental on the Banks highly enough for such a warm friendly welcome (following a cracked rear tooth issue just before Christmas). Under the superb care of Dr John Krezel, I had crown preparation and a temporary one fitted. John was extremely reassuring about my anaesthetic chemical sensitivity concerns. The entire process was extremely smooth with no discomfort whatsoever and I am absolutely delighted with the finished result. I would not hesitate to recommend Dental on the Banks!

My experience with Dental on the Banks has so far been excellent. It is such a friendly, well run and sophisticated clinic. The first consultation with Dr Z. Yazdani-Khonakdar was very professional, pleasant and in-depth. She mended my big broken-off filling with a temporary one in the mad pre Christmas rush so I could enjoy eating all the food, thank you! This was followed up this month by Dr J Krezel who did an amazing job with my crown fitting. I felt at ease and pain free at all times with him and his dental assistant and the crown is just perfect! Thank you to everybody at Dental on the Banks.

Extremely competent team of dentists. I went there for an Invisalign treatment and also for an emergency treatment. They are competent, agreeable, helpful and fair. The practice is also extremely clean and agreeable. Also, their hygienist is unbelievable - I usually find it painful and unpleasant - but with her, It was the most pleasant experience - I was waiting for pain that never came, not once. I would recommend indeed the whole practice indeed

I recently had the pleasure of receiving dental care at Dental on the Banks, and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. George, in particular, deserves special mention for his expertise and dedication throughout the process. I underwent a full six-on-six implant procedure, which can often be daunting, but Dr. George and his team made me feel completely at ease. From the initial consultation to the final fitting of my permanent teeth, the level of professionalism and care was evident. The procedure itself was carried out smoothly, and I felt well-informed at every stage. What truly stood out to me was the aftercare service. I felt reassured knowing that I could reach out to the clinic anytime with any questions or concerns. The support provided by Dr. George and his staff made a significant difference, ensuring that I was comfortable and confident throughout my recovery. Today, I received my permanent teeth, and the results are outstanding. The transformation is remarkable, and I couldn't be happier with my new smile. If you're considering dental implants or any dental work, I highly recommend Dental on the Banks and Dr. George. Their commitment to patient care and exceptional results truly sets them apart.

My first appointment. Staff is friendly. Liberty, the treatment coordinator is very patient, listening to my long history and concerns, explaining the treatment plan clearly. She answered all my queries and put me at ease. And promptly emailed me the treatment plan, etc by the time I got home.
