Excellent level of care and dealt with with kindness.
The suggested frequency of appointments, increase in the number of possible treatments and of course the increase in prices make dentistry quite difficult for a pensioner to afford.

I’ve been looked after by Tulsi and Jodie for a couple of years now and could not rate them more highly. As someone who hates going to the dentist, they make the ordeal far less painful (as much as it can be!). Highly recommended.

Had my first visit to Boxmoor House Dental Practice, recommended by my mother. I was treated by Dr Charisma Patel and Dental Nurse Jodie, they were both so friendly and charismatic, making me feel like a life long patient. My check up as extremely through, every step and finding was clearly explained to me, I also had a dental hygiene treatment, I left with squeaky clean teeth. I could not recommend the practice enough.
