Louise Lunness-Barnes Dental Clinic

Jan 15th, 2023

Hadn't been to a dentist in nearly 10 years and had put it off due to being so nervous. Ended up in pain and contacted Thorndike in Rochester, my nearest dentist, who saw me but the experience was so impersonal and cold that it put me right off. After googling and finding really good reviews for Louise Lunness Barnes in Stood, I booked and have not looked back. Serena is amazing and calming and explained everything so well who put a plan put in place. In the meantime my tooth cracked and after visiting the Strood practice for advice was referred to an oral surgeon in Gillingham for an extraction. A week after the extraction I was in agony and was referred back to the Strood practice who saw me within a few hours and said it was infected. Louise, who's practice it is, dressed it, gave me antibiotics and basically was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of this dentist and would highly recommend. Genuinely caring and very sincere. So thankful to have found this amazing dentist!

Im getting quite old now, so have been to many dentists. Whilst I was younger I used to travel and work all over, and you can never tell when your tooth is about to mess up your life. I had a back, really at the back molar taken out! I didnt feel the needle to numb me, I didnt have to go and wait for it to get numb, of course I was tested to make sure it was numb. Well within a couple of minutes it was out, didnt feel a thing! Im home, no bleeding, no feeling that someone has punched me in the face! I cant recommend this Dentist as High as I would like to! Im or rather was absolutely terrified by going to the Dentist. Can honestly say, I dont feel that way now. Ive booked for the next stage in my treatment, and have done it for as soon as I can.

So, Ill start by saying I had a bad experience with a dentist about 13 years ago and never went since. Its safe to say, I hate going to the dentist, it is completely my Achilles heel. So having said that, I needed to go to a dentist and opted to go private in the hope that I could avoid another traumatic experience, and I couldnt be more pleased to say that Sarina is genuinely, the best dentist I have ever seen. Despite having a job on her hands that could probably be likened to the cleaning up of the collapsed wing of Notre Dam Cathedral, she managed to make this as discomfort free as could be possible and has gone above and beyond my expectations in every sense. I wasnt made to feel embarrassed about the poor condition of my teeth and was given professional advice and reassurance throughout my trips and procedures here and I will add at a price that I feel is very reasonable and worth every penny. I cannot stress enough how good Sarina and the rest of the team has been despite me being probably quite an awkward client (did I mention I hate going to the dentist?). I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place, Im so glad I went and will not be going anywhere else going forward (and regularly lol). Just fantastic. Thank you so much

This was my childhood dentist, as I was terrified as a kid and my parents chose this for a previous dentist who has since retired and had a 'child friendly' award. Safe to say she was fantastic. I moved away from the area around 8 years ago and subsequently changed dentists. Since then, I have gone through 4 different practices, all of whom have provided a bad service or recommended unnecessary procedures. Last year I made the decision to come back to the practice and drive the 1 hour (each way) journey to do so. It is so nice to be back at a practice who listen to their patients, are transparent in their recommendations, charge fairly and do not take advantage of the COVID-19 virus with upping their prices drastically. I would 100% recommened this dental practice.
